Hmmm, sorta like the silly suits against M$ that use up taxpayer dollars and court time. Which, in the end, will have done nothing for anybody other than spend a lot of dollars that could have been spent on other more important things.
You probably shouldn't assume you know me or what I do - day in and day out - just by a few comments I've posted on this topic.
Just apply my comments to the original thread and how they relate to that, not how my comments somehow give you a look at my well-roundedness...
I was just making a general statement - I believe you need to spend an amount of time outside of work (whenever possible) to brush-up or do research, etc.
I usually get home from work, check my e-mail, hang out with the family for a couple of hours and then later (after everyone is in bed) I get back on the computer. I usually only get 5 hours sleep a night.
Yes people can change their minds and move on to something else, but what BitGeek is trying to say is that the real "techies" spend too much time (investing in their future) learning about technology and new things, that moving on is NOT an option.
My wife doesn't understand why I come home from work and immediately jump on a computer and then spend another couple of hours (outside of work) on it.
Its a full time job - outside of your full time job - to stay proficient in this industry.
I just landed a job after 7 months of unemployment, I found that most of the major sites (Monster.com, etc.) didn't really help, although I did get a few calls (Most were for jobs I wasn't even remotely qualified for). I live in Upstate New York and was lucky to find a local site http://www.davincitimes.com/ that concentrated on Engineering and Technical job listings and found my new job through them.
Local headhunters that specialize in specific career areas are helpful but you need to call them constantly so they have your name fresh in their heads. Another I found useful was the local newspaper web site that had career listings in just this area. While looking at specific employers web sites pay attention to where they say they post jobs, a lot of employers I looked at didn't post jobs on their web site, they used another "Career oriented" specialty site.
In the fifth alleged violation, ProComp said the updated Windows XP's My Music folder called up Internet Explorer for online shopping, even after the group had selected Netscape as the default browser and had hidden access to IE.
I'm surprised that they didn't complain about the Shop for Music online link going to windowsmedia.com (A Microsoft Site) Perhaps it should go to cdnow.com or mp3.com
How many levels of nit picking is considered in good taste?

I'm wondering if each person has a unique color "signature"
If so, could a scanner be developed that sees these signatures and identify people from a distance?
Gone will be the days of thumbprints and retina scans. Now you can be identified without even being aware of it.

Family first, career second...
Actually he is NOT being too harsh.

Good luck.

Just more tax-payer dollars being wasted...
Ahh but maybe your problem isn't the game.. Maybe you are running a Pentium IV processor with no fan? ;)
Throw in an AMD processor and see if you fry it...
