I worked in a small pcb factory one summer and it was mental torture after a few weeks. Only people who can shut their brains off can stand it. The workers who chatted while they did it usually had too many product defects. I can see someone appreciating a job like this in a country where most jobs are dangerous, exhausting, or simply don't exist but I sure as hell wouldn't call it energizing.
For the price of a good salad at my company's salad bar I could get two cheeseburgers (or 6-8 Twinkies at a convenience store). Eating healthy has become a sign of wealth in this country.
Reminds me of how in Boston years ago there was a big stink about how a weightlifting gym had a seperate section for woman. They screamed until they dropped the distinction (can't dig up a link). Now there is a chain of gyms called Healthworks that is only for woman. For some reason THAT is ok. Gotta love double standards.
I used to get Applesoft magazine and type in and debug all of the cool (for then) games who's code they would publish for the Apple IIe. I taught myself BASIC that way and learned lots of handy memory locations to peek & poke.
Even ads fueled coders. Beagle Bros would publish "one liners" in their ads. A single line of code for the Apple that would do something nifty like draw patterns on the screen.
Some of us are outdoorsy nerds who like to go for days with the bare minumum of stuff on purpose. Sure we may wear modern materials, boots, tent, etc but it is still just a shirt, boots, and tent in the end. I leave the toys at home and don't miss them.
That is a peeve of mine too. Writers in major newspaper's entertainment and book sections love to use unnecessary French words. Words like "très" just sound so much more intellectual than "very", right? Maybe I should start putting unnecessary German words in my writing. It would be sehr amusing.
Not to mention if she was mistaken and it wasn't the perp (for all she knew the jacket could've been sold or given away by the orignal crook) and now SHE is the criminal for assault.
Good luck collecting. Odd are the person doing the identity theft doesn't have more than a few grand in assets and even then it is your job to get it. Crooks tend to piss stolen money away anyway instead of, say, investing it. You'd spend more on agencies, lawyers, court fees, constables, etc than you'd ever collect.
I worked phone support for a financial firm (via a contracted company) one summer as temp work. They would get mad at me if I was too quick in helping customers because the call had to be a minimum time length for them to bill the firm. So I had to purposefully slow down and delay the customer.

Yah, us LOGO programmers don't care for your type around here.
I assume those "tape reels" are ribbons of components for feeding into the componet placing robots (sort of like machine gun belts)?
I'm surprised he didn't point out the wave solder machine. Those things are extremely sensitive temperature wise.

The Pac-Man movie just gave me the munchies.

Then they could sell game gold at Starbucks!

She actually said that you know. That Elvira quote was from her horror movie TV show. She was showing "Software Sorority Slasher".

It'll just end up getting reposted with some god awful hip-hop soundtrack and clips from Halo.
Wait until you see how they plan on transmitting porn.

Was Steve McQueen or Clint Eastwood driving her?

Isn't stealing US mail a federal crime? How come the feds didn't charge her also?
China will strike first by freezing all World of Warcraft gold farming accounts thereby causing chaos online.
Ok, how about if it is a beige PC? ;)
This is a situation where they should've responded with email instructions.
Bingo!

I'd leave a better comment but I'm still on hold with Dell...
That is like saying since a suspect's face was reflected in a mirror at one point then the mirror constitutes an image recording.
