The waiting sucks, but you've gotta admit there are some pretty sweet perks to plasma "donation."
* You get to see movies and TV shows you'd normally never watch, e.g. Fast and the Furious, Tomb Raider, Law & Order.
* Attractive female staff members press up against your arm sometimes (so what if I'm pathetic).
* (Not flamebait!) Experience diversity. Seriously. That's pretty much the only close contact I have with black people, and it helps me think of them as something other than a hostile political group.
* Learn about hydration [the hard way]. I was dehydrated for like two years and didn't even know it 'til I started selling plasma.
* Lastly, the sense of community. There's something nice about being in a room of people just as broke as me.
In case you're including Dvorkin in the unskilled group, you should know he has an MS in mathematics and once worked for NASA (among other sweet gigs).
It's too bad he puts that info at the bottom of his awful four pageresume, under an avalanche of HR keywords.
Dude, I don't really know for sure, but I'm pretty confident that the worst time to have a wife is when you're broke. Women can be cruel bitches about stuff like that (at least if being broke happens on a regular basis). I'm guessing the reason this guy's wife is so understanding is that they've been together for a while, and there's no doubt in her mind that he's employable or whatever. (According to his [awful] resume, he used to work at NASA.)
Where I come from most [libraries] don't have much internet access
Even when they do, no matter how many PCs they have set up every damn one is in use. Ever stop by a public computer lab to grab driving directions off Mapquest, only to find that homeless people are monopolizing all the PCs? I don't really have a point...just complaining.
Also, mad props to the OSU Sci/Eng library for being open 24 hrs/day, baby!
What's with the relationship between Fry and Shake? They're both guys, but they act like a couple and have a kid (Meatball). It doesn't seem like they're supposed to be gay, but if they're just roommates, why the kid?
AudioGalaxy lets you browse bands by genre (here). I've discovered *many* bands that way.
Also, if you're looking up a song, you may find similarly named songs and/or covers of that song. I just discovered Life of Agony (not that great, I'll admit) while looking for covers of Descendents - Hope (great).
In theory, if China got a hold of some Windows code, stuck it in RFLinux and released it (made it available to us, even). Could anyone do anything about it?
They have nukes, dammit. Nukes!

This horse is kinda dressed like a clown.
Amen! I just got paid for 30 hours for a job that took me something like 90 hours.
Being pressured into giving sham estimates is teh s.uck.
I don't think programs will get longer, since why would anyone adopt a language that makes their job harder?
So they can brag about it all the time like Steve Gibson. Every time I go to his site I feel like such a pansy just 'cause I don't know ASM.

Carl rules!
Could someone please come up with a reasonable theory on what the hell the dolphin-with-pick-ax logo is supposed to be before my head explodes?

Silly frog, Slashdot is for Americans!
I second that! I don't see why we're always being so nice to our enemies.
Death to China!
According to this (pdf), other six-point violations in Ohio include:
Drag Racing.
Willingly fleeing or eluding a law enforcement officer.
Homicide by vehicle
Four points:
Willful or wanton disregard of the safety of persons or property.
Pretty forgiving, this state.
Wow. I thought the whole "patriot act" thing was a joke.
Don't forget to register as a patriot!
The musical feedback is pretty hardcore, though. It'd be nice if all menus did that.
