I don't know many people who -wouldn't- want to apply.:)
What kills me about all of these guys is that they are all so well versed in using so many different tools, techniques, and materials. There are people that work as electricians, machinists, carpenters, welders, etc. all of their lives, that couldn't do half of what the M5 guys do.
You're absolutely right. We had a layoff here in june and all of the guys that followed this philosophy were let go. All of us who made an effort to diversify our skills stayed.
Quake 1 had this goofy abstraction about it that made it fun. You have all of these pointy-headed guys, running around these lava-filled dungeons, shooting each other into bloody chunks of pot roast, all the while then the status says things like "Dysdic accepts BauM's shaft." Quake 1 was the last FPS that felt like a game and not some kind of training simulator.
My guess is that it's too hard for devs to prevent bugs when you can't rely on the environment to stay static. it'd be too easy to blow a hole in the edge of the world and fall through it, and other crap like that that people would demand that you fix. It really can't be fixed, but if you tell them that you're just lazy and don't care about your fans.
I did, because I lived there. Not by choice. When you're a kid you kind of have no choice when your life gets fucked up by the choices of gutless bastards like you that don't even have the balls to use a pseudonym.
The 80's weren't good economic times outside of urban areas. My small town's economy was destroyed by Reagan's cutting of steel tariffs. He did nothing to protect the rural populations of the USA. The only debate about that is whether the GOP did so deliberately or out of raw stupidity.
With my women...I pretty much let them have the run over the place...decorating, etc, 'cause frankly, they do a better job than me. But, I spend $$$ putting together AV equipment, and no one tells me it doesn't 'match', or that proper speaker placement isn't working with room design...etc. Lord, do all you married guys have to put up that? If so...what do you get out of the deal...it sounds like they have to give their stamp of approval over any new toy in the house...how it looks, how it sounds...etc.
Think of it this way: do YOU want constant phone calls at work when she's at home sick and the damn TV won't work? It's bad enough when your friends expect 24/7 tech support for favors - you married her, you have to go home to it.
Also, there's the whole mutual-respect thing. Some couples have relationships where they communicate with each other, and don't just carve out territory. Most are somewhere in between.
What do they have to get YOUR approval for? That depends on whose paycheck is paying for it.

Or, you won't try anything else because although weed isn't deadly, you're not stupid enough to think that weed is equal to cocaine, heroin, etc.

How do you recruit talent for M5? What qualifies someone to work there?
that's because shows like this are made as much for law enforcement propaganda as they are for entertainment.

except at the end of the month when the cops are short on their quotas
"When keeping it real goes wrong."
I mean... You have the marketing power of Apple and Steve Jobs and you give it up for fucking Red Hat? Goddamn some of these FOSS people are idiots.
It would give real people (not just geeks like us) a valid reason to run Linux on the desktop.
I know that if I could run AQUA on Linux, I wouldn't own a copy of windows.

Apple should decouple the OSX GUI from the OS and release it as a package for Linux.
They've always been there, but they are by nature quiet and thoughtful people. The apocalyptic rantings of the zealots are forcing them to speak up.
those are .50 muzzleloaders, they're not .50 BMG rifles. The cheapest one of those I've seen is $2000.
and no system-killing JVM startup. That's what I hated about applets.
congrats for your man whore skills. the *AA shit would make me limp.
Again, I feel this is a fairly severe violation of privacy, but what can you do?
You can stop playing the damn game. Blizzard has no reason to change their behavior until they've been hit in the pocketbook.

I posted too quick - I meant "the future" as in "that's the kind of career you can expect in IT" it is definitely part of the present..
Your salary grows 2-4% every year until the CFO decides to outsource your job to India for 1/10th the cost.
That is the future of IT.
yes, please explain your bassless claims
My high school dreams involve firearms and copious amounts of blood and gore.

I thought you were talking about telcos and CLECs in the USA after the Telecomm Act. my mistake.
And it took federal regulation to make that happen. interoperability is a pipe dream.
