Was reading through some of the comments and was wondering, why does a 2 year old need an email address? When I was 2 I didn't have one.
Hell when I was a kid I thought I was lucky to have an Etch-a-sketch.
They don't need a computer, they need an asswhipping and then go outside for some fresh air and exercise instead of sitting indoors and getting fat. What ever happened to reading a book?
Kids today have it too easy, what with their pokemon, gameboy, PS2, DVD, razor scooters, fancy computers then next thing you know they are teenagers with honda civic and putting ass-clown wings on the back.
Masters? Nahhhh don't do it. I have a Masters and consider myself unemployed since 10/1997.
That's when I was fired from the job I had in my field. Since then it's been a little bit of this, that, nothing really decent or worthwhile but helps pay the bills until I kill myself.
Military sys jobs are great but take a look at the majority of the techno geeks out there. Do you really think most of them are fit for military service?
1st Saturday has turned into a get rich quick while selling off crap type place recently, hmm, sort of like Ebay.
There's also Resource Concepts in Carrollton as well.
When I first saw this, I thought of Contiki vacations, could just image a bunch of drunk Ozzies/Kiwis traveling around creating a browser.

Hmmm...soo true. Sad but true. Reminds me of a story.
Was getting gas one day and saw a woman in a Chevy Tahoe, fully decked out with all the options, grill guard on the front, step bars on the side and brush guards on the taillamps.
One sweet ride to go off roading in. I asked the little soccer mom how does that handle off road.
She looked at me funny and said "Offroad? Now why would I want to take this off road?"
Turned out she only got that truck because her neighbors bought one too.
Yep, Dell has a bunch of script monkeys working for them.
I used to do Dell support back when it was outsourced to places like Stream. They would hire anyone off the street, didn't matter if they spoke English or not, as long as they could follow a flowchart and script
Place I work took on a crappy contract for People PC machines and that is what they do when people call in for support. Although you left out a little, like have the user flip the power select switch in the back and swap the power cord from the monitor and try it again.
If all that (restore including) doesn't resolve it, then the machine will be set up for depot repair. And yes the customer will be without a machine for about a month and when/if they get it back, the problem will not be resolved, they will get someone else machine back or something else will be broken.
If I get a spam snail mail that has a pre-paid envelope in it. I will shred the mail they sent me, stuff it in the envelope (sans personal info) and mail it back to them. That way they pay to receive their crap back.
I used to take old coke cans, flatten em a bit, fill with concrete till it hardens just to add weight to the letter.
Slashdot Mirror
Hmm, might want to concentrate and (re)learn some English grammar skills during your free time at work.
Hmm, being that an Indian found this, me thinks it was cracked by an Indian working there for Microsoft. After all with outsourcing and such.
Hmm, might be a hint that Amazon buys out Netflix....
Yep, seems to be slashdotted, this might take a while
Actually, mail forwarding should last a year.

(atleast thats the saying around my company)
Most I've seen come from China!

I'm thinking it will be bogged down by all those relay spammers.

If it were to come out on CD's you can bet a boat load of AOL disks will be the first to use them stuff!
Been there before, thanks for the direct link, I get off on other people's misery, makes mine less painful.
Just love getting the skinny on failed companies. Wish people from other companies would come out and do the same.
Stay with the job. A degree is a worthless piece of paper. Hell, I should know, I have 2 of them and still can't find a job.

They use Wang, Unisys and Banctec as their 3rd party onsite providers
