Nah, just write a lot, and develop your handwriting as you write, kind of like learning a new keyboard layout. When I was in 7th grade or so I decided that I didn't like my handwriting. It looked like it was written by a girl, with big round loops and lots of space everywhere.
First I developed a nice angular, heavily slanted script with tall risers and short lowercase letters that looked cool to me, and then I practiced it. I just copied a book I was reading so I was at least entertained, and every time I caught myself going back to the old style I slowed down and concentrated. By the time I was through 2 chapters, my handwriting was permanantly changed, and much, much neater.
Gave me a nasty writers cramp though. Don't try to do it all in one day like I did;)
As a previous poster stated, that's not true. A signature is not necessarily readable, it's a mark that is written quickly so that if someone tried to slowly duplicate it, the trails at the end would be missing, and if they tried to do it quickly it would be nearly impossible to duplicate. Your signature could be an X, or a smiley face, or whatever you want. This is why you ALWAYS have to print your name near your signature.
There's a third kind of person that you've forgotten.
Dipshits who read a book that was written to illustrate a point and take it way too literally, who then make asses out of themselves by parroting "philosophy" every time they get the chance in the hopes that others will look up to them in the same way that they looked up to the hero of the book for having such a strong character that they weren't bothered by being persecuted, but don't realize that no one gives a flying fuck because they either weren't persecuted or ridiculed or just got the fuck over it like a normal human being, and are actually offended that there's assholes like said person walking around doing their best to make everyone's life miserable with their over the top and depressing morals.
Things are getting worse and worse? You fucking moron. When's the last time you couldn't find potable water, died of starvation or malaria or punemonia at 20, had your children taken as slaves, been forced to fight in a colloseum, been where to live, or had your wife raped by your senator and there was nothing you could do about it? Jesus Christ you selfish beatnick retard, please just remove yourself from our society if you think we've treated you so unfairly, you're allowed to do that here.
The people that REALLY have it bad, who are told to burn their farms, who are moved out of their homes because it's somebody else's country now, who's families were murdered by their governments, those people ARE storming the castles with pitforks, or they will soon. You think those Eastern continents are so violent for no reason? They really have it bad, you're just some whiney little fuck that's pissed because it's someone else in charge instead of you. Go die.
That's not what he's saying. He's answering a question that was only tangentially related to the one he was asked, in order to avoid saying, "There's nothing we can do about it at, and even if we could, we don't care unless it gets to big." He's right, the Linux Xboxers don't matter as far as the company's concerned, and won't unless they start pirating lots of software (from Microsoft, not other people) or cheating at games, so it doesn't make business sense to pursue them now. But he changed the subject because people automatically would view his answer in a negative light if he answered in a completely negative manner, and he's a politician. You just took him too literally

Your eyeballs will turn into bunny rabbits and your feet will be sucked into your ears! Balls of fire will shoot from your fingertips and your scrotum will be filled with vanilla ice cream!
Where are you at? I've got 3 years experience as a programmer/analyst on SYS/36s and AS/400s and am stuck in a crappy tech support job. I'd love to get back into programming, but there's nothing around here.

Right. So the Chinese got together and decided to make a written language that discriminates against the vast majority of them? Duh.
It workth weal good!
I'M WANKING RIGHT NOW!!!
Actually, it's...

Sure thing ;)
For god's sake, somebody mod this down. I just clicked that link at work. I know, I'm a dumbass, but nobody needs to see that.
You're right... but 100 amps running through 100mV won't do anything to you, 100 amps through 1,000V will make you a nice golden brown.
Well, next time I need my Rubik's Cube scrambled, I'll have you do it for me then ;)

Fuck Linux.
Embracing MICROS~1 extends my wang.
Right. I'd never think to look in /etc/ssh/* for OpenSSH settings, or /etc/vim/* for VIM settings, or /etc/wget/* for ... duh.
A um... sexologist? Where do I have to go to school to be one of those?
If you can't undelete a file in Linux... you're not very good at Linux.
Except for the fact that you have to control it with that ridiculous controller instead of a proper keyboard and mouse...
Thanks.

You're right about that. I'd be hard pressed to find one for more than $30.

Ha! I'm a year younger, 23, and I'll see your 3 years experience and raise you two first place wins in statewide programming competitions!
Oh wait. A junior level position around here calls for 5 years experience, so I'll just keep my ISP helldesk job for now...
