Unlike when I was growing up, there's actually a lot of high quality passive entertainment these days. You might want to check it out.

Tell me this then. What do you do with someone who's previous employee gives him a horrible feedback? Do you just assume he's telling the truth? Or that you may have a highly skilled person sitting in front of you that didn't get along with the previous boss?
And everyone is not created equal. They're seen as equal under the law. That's it.
The people who create taxes are the leaders of their countries. It gives them money and power.
Now here's an example where a country became prosperous from low taxes. Do you expect the leaders of other countries to follow the example and give up money and power to help their country?
Although giving people what they want is King, why doesn't my provider have a limited rate package? Even if it's not that popular, it doesn't cost them any more to have it available.
Or does it?
By charging more for an "Unlimited" account, and then treating them like it's a limited account, they would get the best of both worlds.
I don't know how much bandwidth I consume. But if they sent me an email with the statistics, and offered me a limited rate package, I'd jump on it. (Unless I was always over the limit)

And no, ganging up more of these doesn't help. Weight, you know.
Then it's perfect! Because you're near weightless in space.
That guy's a genius.
I was pretty irritated at being forced to use sudo at first. But now I just roll with it.
I remember signing a contract when joining the gym. I've never signed a contract when buying software.
How can there be no root account when I see processes running owned by user "root"?
This is the only time it's been painful not to have mod points.

Dude, put up what you're looking for and some way to contact you. If all of Slashdot is employed, I'll go buy a hat and then eat it.

"Proteus, a Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel that looks like a spider, is so fuel efficient that it can travel 5,000 miles on one load of diesel fuel.

The Space Shuttle can get into ORBIT on one load of fuel.

If only there were some sort of online forum where dedicated geeks hung out. Then it would be easy to find people!
"Can you tell us about the light and quick software you use?"
Well, I used to use a web browser software called Phoenix. Except it's not called Phoenix anymore. And it's not light and fast anymore either.
Funny guy.

It's because if someone claims unemployment against him, he'll have to pay a portion of it.
He's just being cheap.
