This summer, I worked every day, sometimes up to 16 hours.
At a gas station.
I've actually got a non-trivial amount of IT experience to go along with my current training in Control (I've committed huge amounts of code to some of my favourite open source projects, for example). Problem is, you can write all you want on a resume, sometimes the only people who call back are the folks at the gas station who will hire you on the spot because you have experience with the POS system.
So don't assume that this person is working in something related to his field. He could very well be getting held up at knifepoint and selling people gas, like me.
"I want to leave!" "So send out resumes!" "But I have no time!" "You must have time!" "But I work 20 hours a day!" "So work fewer hours!" "But if I work fewer hours I'll be fired!" "So quit!" "But I have 100k in student loans to pay off!" "So stop bitching that you want to leave!"
I've taken a few courses in my College designed to help us build resumes, and it seems to me that the instructors describe the people hiring us (Engineering Techs) as truly vain, lazy people, who are upset with having to read more than two pages on a subject no matter how qualified, who are easily upset, and who really just want to be lied to so they can hear what they want to hear.
It's ironic, I chose this discipline because I hate having to deal with such things; the physical world never asks me to lie to it to make something function, after all.:P
Don't bring up comment numbers. It's just ignorant to do so. I've got tonnes of comments, for example, but I only tend to post in spurts here and there. So, I posted 1000 comments back in my Grade 12 programming class? I can see how that relates to current free time.
If piracy is still rampant on P2P networks, and music sales are still down... doesn't that mean that more people are not buying the music that they claim on slashdot and elsewhere that they'd buy to support the band? What is going on with this? If most of the new music is so shitty you cannot buy a CD online for $12-$15 (sorry, most of the time claiming you're forced to pay $20 is bullshit with the internet) then why is piracy still rampant?
I'm not downloading music off of p2p networks, but I'm not buying music either. Every time I see an album I like, I just think of the actions of the RIAA, and decide not to.
My MP3 player at the moment is filled with music by family and freinds, and other people who actually want me to listen to their music. It makes me ethically correct, it makes the producers of the content I do listen to feel good, and to be honest, a lot of the stuff I'm listening to is really great stuff.
I'm not a slave to the RIAA. They needn't exist, they shouldn't exist, and I shall treat them like they don't exist with my pocketbook and my ears.
The liberals were completely impotent with 20 more seats and support from the NDP.
The conservatives are in for hell. They can't really form an alliance with any party, and they don't have the position to protect themselves or to maintain legislation which only the conservatives want to push through.
Impotent? Useless? This to me represents the best of all possible worlds with regards to the Conservative Party of Canada in power, or indeed any party.
Where the hell did you go to school that they taught you how to form fit a completely non-linear four dimensional equation involving an infinite number of data points and more variables than can be easily distingueshed, and how do I get in?
You're actually getting that winter because Canada is having one of the nicest winters in a hundred years. The warm air has to come from somewhere, and the arctic air has to go somewhere else.
We had a high above zero today in Winterpeg. In January.
We're vulnerable because we're free. Freedom is vulnerability. People who think they can be safe by living under an iron fist can move to those countries, and find out whether the price is really worth it.
To be honest, other than consumer paranoia, I'm not aware of any reason to believe that microwaves cause cancer, from a physics perspective. They're not particularly energetic particles(which is why your wifi sucks), and all they seem to do is agitate water.
Slashdot Mirror
-1 Troll, eh?
I guess Americans think it's a troll to point out the fact that their democracy has no legs anymore.
Actually, if I recall, wasps are carnivores. They don't make honey.
YOU ARE A LIAR -- PERIOD.
It's obvious from all the hard working everyman americans willing to stand up and tell the president how proud they are of the current government that you're simply lying.
Go to hell, terrorist scum!

By chasing #1, you certainly mean #1 by orders of magnitude, right?
I'll forego trying to fit you into a stereotype.

If you have a true WMD, does it matter that you decided to set it off a few meters downwind of the target rather than on top of it?
"Oh no! We can't get our nuclear weapon into the superbowl......oh well. "
You say that, but have you TRIED the chillie?
How do you determine poop shoot sizes? Is there a standard scale based on a metric or imperial measurement?
Sir, you deserve +5 funny for that remark.
Thanks for starting my day with a laugh.
The fact that you think a student and a staffer are the same shows that you're not wise enough to ask that question, much less recieve an answer.
If you are so emotionally close to a situation, then you have no business doing a wikipedia article on it. NPOV, case closed. :P

When that man took the suicide of a young person as an opportunity to blast a gaming community, he stopped being funny.
He's a disgusting human being who will piss on someones grave to get his point across. It's a disservice that we can't legally shut him up.
Why do you assume it's a GOOD job?

Circular.

I *did* have lots of free time! In 1995!

Thanks for taking this winter for the team.
Heh...Being afraid of terrorists is pathetic.
