It comes with a limited and non-expandable games library. It would have been nice if it had the built-in library as well as the capability to load the original game catridges.
If the access point is only meant to be used by the Sunday school, and they only meet at certain times. why not just switch the AP off when the Sunday School meeting isn't running?
If the software allows it, would it make it easier to simply set up a schedule that allows for connectivity between 9:00am and 11:00am on Sundays?
This may be an excellent option, provided they can either learn to modify the schedule on their own, or count on a techie type to be there for them when they're needed...
It's been awhile since I've looked at flashing a Linksys router, but should anyone decide to go this route they will need to do their research and ensure they are able to find a router that can be flashed. Nothing more frustrating than buying something you think will do the job, only to find out that it won't work as intended.
"I was dismissed from my last job."
Then you're probably not a stellar worker.
Maybe, maybe not. Management may have tried to save themselves by sacrificing someone lower than them.
"I left my last job voluntarily."
How do we know you won't just up and leave this one?
Is it wrong to leave a job that you don't like or has no room for promotions? I'm sure you wouldn't want to be flipping burgers until retirement.
"I'm between jobs right now."
You're idle.
Being unemployed doesn't necessarily mean being idle.
"I'm still employed but looking to change positions."
You're taking company time for personal business.
Maybe he's taken some time off from work, where he's not getting paid for not working.
To me, it almost sounds like you wouldn't hire anyone because you've got a negative attitude as to why they're looking for work in the first place. Do you honestly believe that people don't have legitimate reasons for looking for a new, possibly better, job? I left my last job because my boss pretty much refused to listen to what anyone else had to say, in addition to being overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated. That, and I found it difficult to work with a coworker whose work ethic was terrible. Does that sound like the sort of place where you would like to work? Probably not. Although I can understand that your thoughts may apply to some people, I can assure you, they don't apply to everyone.
...Organizers of the convention, started by the duo behind the Penny Arcade comic in 2005, are conservatively expecting 30,000 people to attend the three-day long event...
Did you happen to read the summary? Oh wait...what am I thinking? This is Slashdot after all...
...At IBM, Pelino and others set out to improve corporate culture. The company sparked new life into an old tradition: IBM Club, which brings together employees for intramural sports, picnics, movies and other types of social, cultural and recreational activities...
Wouldn't it be ironic that the people it is intended to bring together might not hear about it because the notices for those activites is posted in the lunchroom?
...Theoretically, a machine doesn't CARE the race/gender/whatever of the applicant...
True enough. However, a machine also doesn't know the difference between right and wrong, the way we (most anyhow) do. So, theoretically, a machine can be programmed to filter out certain data based on information provided. This could be the age, race, gender, or whatever else, of an applicant. Also, the machine itself may not do the hiring, but merely suggest who may be more qualified for the job, or present the information to those who do the hiring, who in turn may decide that an underqualified individual would be more desirable than a properly qualified one, due to discrimination.
...Their machine was broken. Take it at face value...
They can't be too interested in hiring anybody if their only means of accepting applications is broken. If they can't be bothered to fix it, maybe they can't be bothered to keep their employees happy. Hard to say really, as I don't know the company/store or any of their employees.
...Believe it or not, you don't have a right to be given a job - only the right not to be denied a job based on certain characteristics...
Exactly. I'd rather hire someone who's qualified, rather than someone who demands to be given the job because they want it.
...55 degrees is awful cold when all you have to wear is t-shirts I can tell you...
Bah! Anything colder than 50 and I'll consider putting on a sweater, or turning up the heat. *shrugs* The cold doesn't bother me much. I wear jeans and t-shirts all year round, whether it's hot, cold, or in between outside.
...At my workplace, it's "It if Runs, it's Right"...
And at my workplace, it's "If it runs, I've managed to crap out the right code somewhere between the countless distractions." My boss expects me to program PHP scripts for websites while dealing with customers, computers, and phone calls. Getting a significant block of code done without distractions is virtually impossible. Even though I manage to come in under/on budget, the actual timeframe between starting and finishing a project is much longer than is necessary.
As for commenting my code, it depends on where I'm at with my project. Usually at the start of it, my comments are fairly clear, though as the project drags on, the more I'm inclined to not even bother with them. Between pressure from the boss and a distaste for the project, I'll forego the comments and hope that the code is self explanatory...

KVM over IP (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=kvm+over+ip& btnG=Google+Search) allows you to remotely access that machine, even if the machine itself isn't connected to a network. The KVM device instead is connected to the network. You can do pretty much anything you could do if you were right in front of the machine, other than physically swap media or hit the reset button. I wouldn't mind getting something like this for my home network, but I think the prices are a bit expensive for my budget right now.
...What irritates *me* about Mandriva is the complete lack of compiler/C library support. Don't even think of getting a source tarball and doing anything meaningful with it if you're running Mandriva...
I've had no problems compiling QEMU, though I may have explicitly told Mandriva to install the proper packages. It's like anything else though, when you think about it. How can the OS support something (C libraries, devices) if the appropriate software isn't installed?

Now if only Nintendo would do something like this with their NES and/or SNES.
