  1. Re:Can I get over the stigma of my last job? on Getting Over the Stigma of a Previous Job? · · Score: 1

    I mean really, do you have any idea what is said between a prospective employer and a former one? You can't ever know.

    Bullshit
    Merely have a friend of yours call your previous employer masquerading as a prospective employer (make sure its from an untraceable line, not that they'd check, but they could) and ask for your reference.
    Record the conversation, and you now know exactly what was said about you.

    I think that your parent is likening component video to Vbeta,Vgamma,Vrho, as is used by many manufacturers now for composite video input.
    I know for sure Sony composite is as such, as my PS2, DVD, receiver, and TV all interconnect composite video as above, and most cables you buy are also marked as such (Vb,Vg,Vr)

    this game is the only reason I will be purchasing a PS2 next year.

    You mean you don't have one yet?
    I thought they were basically ubiquitous, hence the reason sales are so low right now. That, and that Sony has awakened the beast of PS3 Hype...

    can't we make that grounding wireless?

    I would hate to be the person standing between you and the ground in that case...
    Think VanDeGraaf(sp?) generators; or better yet, the Tesla Towers in CnC:Red Alert, a perfect example of wireless grounding...

    Exactly...
    Terrorism is just 'Do what we say, leave us alone, whatever... or else. And, to prove we mean business, we're going to hurt you, BOOM!!!'
    Now, did the US not say 'Leave Us Alone' (in different words, of course), and did they not nuke N. and H., as proof of the power they had, hoping to end conflict?
