Within hours of posting my resume to Monster in Spring of 2001, I was deluged with inquiries from headhunters. While my direct inquiries to employers posting positions on Monster were fruitless, a headhunter got me an interview at a Fortune 500 very quickly (days). The catch? I wanted a dev position but the job market was glutted with programmers more experienced than me. This guy got me a well-paying job as a Sr. Number Cruncher and helped me build a strategy to transition to IT once I'd proved myself. Number crunching and stats were easy (if not mind-numbing) but I was able to get a good dev spot in under a year once I'd been able to flash my 1337 codking skillz. I've been happily programming here for two years now.
Quoth the Ballmer on this subject:
"I can assure you that we know there has been no compromise of the integrity of the source code; that it has not been modified or tampered with in any way."
Okay... it hasn't been modified... but is the source loose in the wild or not?
Here's where I found it.
Before upgrading you'll want to disable all of your extensions. Once upgraded to 0.8 I had a few UI issues, but they were remedied once I switched to the default theme -- Firefox (default).
Page views must've pushed it up. After GameSpot ranked it 1.0 and Slashdot linked to it, this games shows up #2 on the overall GameSpot Most Popular list and #1 on the PC list.
I'm only familiar with Silent Hill II, but the shots of Maria in 'The Ugly Girls' section were a mix of in-game and pre-rendered. Specifically from top-to-bottom: in-game, pre-rendered, pre-rendered. While the top shot is obviously the kludgiest looking of the three, I have to say it doesn't do the game justice. I remember playing SH2 on X-Box and the graphics were rich, particularly the highly effective use of textures to impart that creep show "we're more than half way to hell" look to the environments. This game had me flinching and jumping out of my seat more than most horror movies do!
I think you've misunderstood the theory. From what I gather in the article this isn't skill-based at all. Rather it seems that the game is linked to the lottery tickets you buy -- the game is just another (slower) way to discover if the ticket you hold is a winner or not.
Re:Omnisky for my Visor Prism has been a disaster

Earthlink Buys OmniSky

I must agree - the Minstrel S modem turned my beloved and until-then very stable Handspring Visor Platinum into an unstable mess. Before signing up with OmniSky I used my Visor extensively for calendar, contacts and notes. I hadn't installed much else on it and it was incredibly stable.
As soon as I started using the Minstrel S, the Vistor became very unstable -- it would crash about 50% of the time when accessing wireless functions. I learned to do a sync before using OmniSky as I was likely to lose all the data in my handheld.
I have to say that as annoying as this became, the OmniSky service was so useful that I put up with it! I gradually stopped using the PIM features of my Visor (due to Minstrel-related data loss) and transitioned it to an email client. Coupled with the targus fold-away keyboard my Visor became a compact email anytime anywhere station.

Perhaps it's OT, but would you buy enterprise software from a company that can't even manage a web site?

I really liked the information provided in this article. Too bad there are flash ads underneath the text on some pages. Very difficult to read.
I prefer the term dystopia.
