Actually, that was Ricky Bobby's dad who said that, in a drunken stupor. Tragically, Ricky Bobby's dad didn't even really mean it, and Ricky Bobby lived his whole life ruled by those words.
Oh yeah, and he had a cougar in his car.
One last thing: I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey!
At the college level...why bother? Seriously. These kids are paying for the privilege of being there, so if they want to sleep through or skip class, who is the school to say they shouldn't?
Yup, I spent some time back in mid-to late 2001 laid off. Sending out hundreds of resumes and follow ups every day without any responses (other than canned messages, or companies that were interested, but weren't willing to hire me because they knew when the economy picked back up I'd be gone) gets really disheartening.
Luckily for me, I'd planned and prepared for being laid off, and honestly, got lucky that I got a job when I did. A lot of people on here state that you should have 6 months of "rainy day" money saved up for your living expenses. I agree with this 100%...if not for the money I'd set aside, I'd have been homeless most likely.
That's a scary thought, how quickly you could conceivably go from productive member of society to homeless.
yes, that's right, the OpenSource Advisor was Outsourced to India. He now goes by the title Indian Outsourced OpenSource Advisor. (But his friends call him Bob)
If I have a car company, and I buy your smaller car company, I can merge your product into mine and remove the competition, thereby increasing my profits.
The thing I don't get is how "finding signs of water" and the "basic building blocks of life" on asteroids/other planetary elements is such a huge deal. Logic indicates with hundreds of billions of planets in the universe that water or other "basic building blocks of life" would be present on at least some other elements in the universe.
for these kids to realize that the "glamorous" lifestyle of the video game designer is a lie. More like death marches galore, low pay, and shady companies.
Symantec will more than likely manage to screw this up just like they screw everything else up. Seriously, once upon a time their virus stuff was good. Now, you've gotta jump through hoops to remove it, their enterprise-level customer service is garbage, so I can only imagine how bad their home user support must be, and at some point their code base for the AV stuff grew so bloated you could run a Toyota (poorly) off it.
What's wrong with pointing out that they're simply gonna screw it up?
Slashdot Mirror
Are you talking about some draconian lice-ensing scheme?
Man, I must be new around here. I'll get me coat, and I'll be mindful of the lawn.
-1 invalid comparison.
I sure hope those "IT Dept" folks have emails archived indicating the request to do this.
Otherwise...wow. I feel bad for them.
He is...the most annoying man in the world.

I didn't see that, but now that you mention it, I bet a lot of people will get down-modded for being redundant.
Damn there's gonna be a lot of redundant mods...which kinda sucks since we all posted the same crap at the same time pretty much.
To be fair, I got second place on the internets! That's not so bad, is it?
It is? Damn. :-(

They get paid either way.
Ironic, isn't it Alanis, that the head of the Center for the Study of Intelligence doesn't have any when it comes to privacy matters.
That one isn't as good as my submission (IMNSHO):
Magnificent Millipede FTW!
I'm waiting for Naughty Nautilus myself.
People almost never take the time to write a review of a book that sucks.

For your situation, I'd recommend CSIP (Chainsaw to Idiot People). Seriously, if they're that damned picky, and you haven't snapped yet, kudos to you.
Em's law: Shit happens, and it happens on a regular basis. Prepare for it.

The pokeberries are a fan of malignant neglect, IMO.

to be fair, it's really only two numbers. ;-)

Research this stuff first kids!
-1 funny...you win at the internet sir.
FWIW, I thought it was amusing. Like little kid amusing, you know, when your friends retarded brother eats a crayon or something.
Nah, I kid. Your comment was spot on. :)
Not off-topic at all.

California may as well be a whole 'nother country.
I know, let's not bother with that thing known as personal responsibility, let's legislate EVERYTHING!
Hey parents, your kids wouldn't be so fat if you didn't feed them crap food and let them sit on their butts in front of the t.v. all day and night.
