That's the thing, from the perspective of the employer, you have to be saving them money. In other words, as an employee, you are working there because your work is considered as a profit to the company, that the company is getting a deal by you being there.
For an example, if employee X earns $40 for the company. All things being equal, employee X isn't given the entire $40, he is given his share, and his employer takes the rest.
Your employer knows and does not want the employee to know how much they're worth to the company. If the employee did know, he/she could easily argue and threaten to leave if the amount of money wasn't better. If everyone knew how much their services are providing to the company are worth, one could easily say exactly what a fair amount of pay should be.
In the example, if employee X knew he was worth $40. He could conservatively estimate in his mind that his employer only deserves $7 of each $40 he earns. If he is getting paid $25 out of ever $40 he makes currently when he should be making $33 out of every $40. He knows he should be paid more and could go in to his employers office and demand more and given a rational boss, he'd get it.
You only need quarters if your college is in the stone age. I can just swipe my card for laundry or whatever I need. The kind of currency you really need are dollar bills. Why you ask? Well, the strippers your friend gets for the group don't give you lap dances because you're a nice guy. Depending on the girl and the show determines the amount in different denominations.
Note: be sure to tell the strippers it's someone's birthday (even when it's not) because they will give them a free extended show.
I just watched the Discovery channel about the new weapons being developed now for the military in a few years.
The OCSW [slideshow] (Objective Crew Served Weapon). It's a newly developed weapon that fires 20mm specially designed air-bursting rounds. The weapon is designed like the.50 calibur M2 machine gun made popular in combat in the past few decades. Unlike the old M2, it can easily be carried and setup by two people, the gun box can be loaded on either side depending on who's loading.
What makes this gun so different and effective is that you can aim anywhere and make the rounds explode before it hits a wall or the earth. It does this when the soldier fires, the microprocessor in the gun electronically programs the bullet to explode in a certain amount of time based on the distance it'll need to travel based on it's discovered velocity. If that sounds trivial, you should know that shrapnel from the exploded round can be much more deadly than if the bullet did hit without exploding.
This can be very useful if a guy is behind a wall or window, the OCSW gun is set to a range to just after the wall and the bullet explodes right in their face.
They also make a regular assault gun, the OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon) that actually fires both the air-busting 20mm rounds and the 5.56mm NATO rounds that have been used in previous weapons. It combines the air-busting capability in the stationary gun, but you can take the 5.56 mm assault rifle part and you have the lightest machine gun ever made. which beats the AR-15 and it's derivatives like the M16-A2 used currently by the US military.
There are plenty of places to get information, HK has some good coverage with pictures of the gun, the ammo and some diagrams of how it's able to program it's mid-air explosions.
How can you question the validity of college when you're trying to enter into a technical field? I have my AS in Engineering and I'm in my junior year of my BS in Computer Engineering, probably the hardest mainstream technical degree. (That wasn't a call for all you jerks to speak up saying nuclear engineering is harder or whatever, shut your faces.) I can't just make up the stuff as I go along. If you want proof, check your local paper for the classifieds, take a look at all of the jobs you're looking for, notices all of the BS degrees the *require*? As a rule of thumb, most computer jobs require BS's in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or a mix inbetween. Depending on the job, if it's more hardware, they'll optionally accept Electrical Engineering too.
In summary, go to college, get a degree you can use, not a crap degree like business management or sports medicine. When you get out, you'll be good to go.
I ran across this article on 2600.com like 8 hours because I didn't think/. would accept it, just like they didn't accept the other 30, equally qualified articles that I wrote.
The article says "Passport technology", that just tells me they are going to employ a similar technology to Passport. Plus, you say that basically the government is going to trust Microsoft in handling the 300 million Passports, that's pretty farfetched. Before all of your anti-Microsoft rhetoric spills all over the floor, the technology will probably be similar to Passport, but be written by a more secure firm and be administered by the government.
On a side note, I for one don't mind the national ID scheme because I don't have anything to hide.
I saw a picture at riceboypage.com about this guy that cut sheet metal and made his own spoiler. Also, this guy I know lived in a town that on Saturday night, all the real rice boys would drive around this one area of town, so my friend and another friend made the cheesiest spoilers and stuff out of cardboard and taped them on the car and drove down there to make them see how ridiculous they look.
Just get me Jill Of The Jungle (yes, I know it's made by Epic Megagames), I always liked the sounds and you can make her kneel and you can see cleavage. After that, I'd always download pictures of Kathy Ireland in a bathing suit from the local BBS then spend the rest of my weekly alloted time playing door games.
Ah, the good ol' days. Now I have Counter-Strike and hardcore anal and lesbian pornography at a fingers' edge.
When you click on the iPod link that goes to the apple.com website, look down at the screenshot of the Contact window. Notice the name, Alan Smithee? To most people, they wouldn't give it a second thought...
I was watching a TV show last week that spent 30 minutes talking about a Hollywood director named Alan Smithee. The thing about this director is that he does not exist. The Directors Guild use this name to indicate that this movie is basically doomed to fail before it starts. Although websites won't say that detail, they give a bunch of filmographies. You can certainly do google searches for his name. Note the absence of pictures.
It's just ironic/weird that the Alan Smithee name would be used there, maybe they are foreshadow the iPod, saying the unit is doomed before it starts?
For all the people that try and say that you'd legitimately buy a CD after downloading the mp3's, are either lying, or there are 10 people for each one of you that aren't saying they didn't purchase the CD. If I have the equivalent of the CD, it'll take me a little while to write a CD, what's the real incentive to go out and spend more money that took even more time to make? I had like 5 full albums on my computer (I lost all my mp3's in a totally unrelated partition table vanishing act after a power failure, but that's beside the point). I never the urge to buy a CD just because I downloaded and already had all the music. Don't even begin to tell me you wanted the lyrics or band art, because you can find the lyrics online, and I don't care what the band looks like.
I'm in strong support of the micropayment format to sell music, let me pay only the artist $.25 or whatever a comparable price per song would be for each song I want online, I get the mp3, the artist gets all the money. That way, it gets the RIAA's greedy fingers out of the artists pockets, and shows the artists we chose to listen to and what kind of music we like. I know if I was an artist, I could use demographic data and sales per track I've made to custom tailer music for groups of people.

How dare you compare Animaniacs with The Simpsons, the two are on two completely different levels.
