So, you call requiring every adult in the country to report all of their financial information every year to the government so that said government can tell each person how much money said government is going to forcibly take from each person NOT an invasion of privacy? (I hope that sentence didn't sound too much like Mark Zuckerberg.)
Everyone pay very close attention to this next statement please.
RECRUITERS DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU.
To them, you are a commodity, a way to make sure little Johnny gets his new XBox 360 game, and nothing more.
If you want to find a job, you have to market yourself to the companies at which you would like to work. Get to know the company, try to meet the people in the department in which you are interested, make yourself available to these people, offer to volunteer on a project, etc. If you work this plan at several companies you will be much more likely to find a job that you fit and that also fits you.
"Regarding hockey, you're just angry because you lost at the Olympics."
Now that's hitting below the belt. You know, sometimes words can hurt.
I used to catch hell about my accent (a bit of a southern drawl or hillbilly-ish) but my wife tells me it is getting better and really only comes out after a few beers.
Ok, then. You may now go back to watching hockey, drinking beer, eating back bacon, speaking French to English speakers even though you are quite capable of speaking English, going to strip clubs, saying "abooooot", wearing your tuk, and injecting "eh" at the end of every phrase.
Well, hello there, Mr. (or Mrs.) "I believe every stereotype about those fat, lazy Americans." Nice to see you.
Seriously, though, have you spent any significant amount of time in the U.S.? I'm not talking about a week in NYC or a vacation at Disney[complex], but real, significant time in an average city such as Davenport, Iowa? I know it is hard to believe since the media portrays the "arrogant, self-important, fat, lazy American" as the norm, but most people here are not any different from people all over the globe. We just want to live with a few comforts, not have to worry about where our next meal is coming from, and raise our kids to be productive people.
Use an algorithm to derive your passwords. You never have to remember a password, just how you derive it based on the site, content, etc. I haven't used "passwords" in years, I just have an algorithm to derive them that is easy to remember.
I can't wait for companies to start using these to enforce dress codes. "I'm sorry, Jim, but we can't allow you to wear your pretty, pretty princess underwear to work."
It's easy. When you walk into the eggplant patch, the female eggplants will all point at you, laugh, and say, "I can't believe you wore *that* to the garden."

I saw one while I was sitting on a park bench.
You spelled "douche" wrong...
Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!
I hate videos without sound.
Did you write that comment...wait for it...of your own free will?

Q) What do you call a tracking device placed in a Republican's shoe?
A) A SWOOSH.

I'm not sure why today's kids would be so feeble intellectually as to make that true.
Go spend some time with a group of "today's kids." Then watch Idiocracy. Then weep as the truth becomes clear to you.
I got a girl who
Drove a car
It got too costly
She couldn't go far
Now She don't use diesel
She don't use gas
She just saves clippings
When she mows the grass
She uses Graaaaaaaasoline.
- It's actually spelled Ignoranttwat. A lot of people make that error.
FTFY
No shit.

"...and if you hold it juuuuust like *this*..."
Yeah, but now we'll have to look for a new nerdy injoke that is the equivalent of "When hell freezes over".
How about, "when we find the Higgs boson..." or "when the LHC reaches full capacity..."
I think it's called "Cubicle" in 8-hour, time-released capsules.
Follow me here...
Constants aren't.
But he wouldn't enjoy it.
Marvin would decimate them all.
Tesla *knew* he was right. He just didn't have enough time to prove it.
