the communication issue is key. We interviewed about 20 guys for a position here recently and while most of them were great technically, they couldn't communicate at all. They were your typical shut-in "computer geeks" that had no desire to communicate with anyone but themselves. If you can communicate well AND code like a madman, you're going to find work.
some people have that filter without having to pay someone else to do it for them. You didn't. No shame in that. It does not in any way make you superior to me or any other self-taught programmer.
Awwwwww, poor economy thieves. they're exploited? fuck them. If they want to take away our money and jobs, they can handle being treated like dog shit. If I were in management I'd be doing it to them with a huge fucking grin on my face.
the world as I know it today has been brought to me by 380 years of puritannical repression, 200 years of industrial pollution, 100 years of American assfucking of small nations, 65 years of the military-industrial complex, 60 years of the atomic bomb, 40 years of civil rights movements, 30 years of pissing off Arabs, 20 years of depleted-uranium ammo, and 2 years of George W. Bush. Programmers are a piss-hole in the snow compared to all of the above.
I'm a programmer and I think the world would be a better place without the damn things. It ran fine without them up until the 1940s.
When I was working in the computer labs at school, my girlfriend was working as a certified nursing assistant. They do the shit work (literally) in nursing homes and hospitals and such.
I came in and bitched about the dumbass students in the lab. She said "well, at least you don't wipe asses for a living!"
it's really not... We that live in the USA end up supporting our culture by default, and that's bad enough. Why should I choose to support another plastic nation because they have cool cell phones?
I'm just as guilty of consumerism as any other USian. Good things can come out of Japan, in fact they are superior to everyone but the USA at manufacturing, but they can keep their rotting, filthy, racist, feudal culture. We've got our own rotting, filthy, racist, feudal culture to worry about.
I know cool by a complete lack of Japanese influence.
Japanese pop culture is decidedly uncool if you do not wish to support a racist, corporatist modern-day feudal state. In Japan today, instead of being owned by the daimyo, you are now owned by your employer. The children are pacified with toys and hello kitty type shit. Fuck that.
It's ironic. One story is an Apple contractor giving away trade secrets. The one about building clones of Macs has someone giving away trade secrets of McDonald's. I'm wondering if someone from Wendy's is going to post a story about black market Segways in China or something..
I spent a year after a breakup without wanting to fool with the whole dating thing. I know where you're coming from. but dude.. not trying to be a smartass here but you need some therapy. That's some scary shit.
right on, I worked as a contractor for a while and it's bad enough knowing that you can be ejected at any time without this kind of attitude going around.
What the hell kind of term is that? All heterosexual males are chick-heads? Are you implying that those of us who like women more than we care about the purity of sci-fi or whatever other geek-cred nonsense you want to apply to it are somehow flawed? if so, that's freakin' scary. Do you not like women? Are you asexual?
If 802.11b gear ever starts picking up the same frequencies used by radars, then it's the network stuff that is going to be in trouble, not the radars. The radars are much more powerful emitters than the network stuff could ever think of being.

yes, I am Trent Lott. Thanks for playing.

can it cook up your next batch of crack rocks?
they probably hire you because they find your use of anachronistic terms like "cutting code" to be charming.

kick ass! I played Subspace several years ago in the beta days (before it went pay the first time). I'll be on there again for sure.
cool techno music is an oxymoron. Come to think of it, so are you.
I think they want Dreamweaver because they can't sell Frontpage, since everyone knows it generates shit HTML. Controlling Flash is a side benefit.

No, you're thinking of Donkey DONG
He can't make it. He's working the AVN awards instead.

asexual means without sexual desire, not without sex. I've been there, too.. it ends eventually

Or if you're gay, forget I said anything.

I had a copy of Tengen's port of Gauntlet for the NES. It's probably worth even more than the Tetris game now.
