I came in to offer a few suggestions, but they've already been made. You can't really expect to get a programming job at your age/experience even if you know how to program. Your best bet is to do open source development, try to get on a research project if you live near a university (professors love free labor), or to get a job at a computer repair shop. If you haven't had a job yet, working a "normal" job for someone your age is actually a good social experience that I would recommend. I used to want a technical job, but only worked at restaurants until the end of college. Looking back now, I value the social experience I had that I know I wouldn't have received doing tech work. I would recommend you get a regular job for someone your age and spend some of your free time doing open source work and/or learning more about programming on your own.
Actually I Googled for his screenname to see what lists would come up. I found the article titled "sex bots", and decided to see if it would come up first when searching for "sex bots" and it did.
I use MP3 Tag Tools. It hasn't been updated for a while, and I'm sure there's newer stuff out, but this does everything I need. You can manipulate both tags and filenames automatically. I don't think it supports OGG though.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that even phones with no service still have 911 available. For the time being, VoIP users could keep a regular phone plugged in for emergency purposes.
Windows PC's are cheaper than Macs. Most stores don't publicize their Linux based PC's (that is if they even have any). Somebody buys a PC and it already has Windows. They don't care if it sucks. If something goes wrong, they'll just have Windows reloaded again. If someone were to offer to load Linux on instead, they'd still probably stick to Windows with the mentality that "well, Windows will work like new, and either way, I lose my data".
I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

Google for sex bots and look at the first link. It's an article that he wrote, and his screen name is in it.
Of course it's a joke! I'm not that ignorant.
I didn't know there was such thing as non-geek Japanese.
wow...it was a joke, you pansies. i probably got modded down by euro-fags.
You've got to be a huge wuss to use this. First off, it's got a French name, and second, it's from Apple.

If anyone hasn't tried Trillian for a couple years, I'd definitely reccommend trying it out again. It used to be crap, but it's quite nice now.

I came across this article while browsing slashdot instead of studying for my midterm that's in 2 hours.
Just stick the thing in the room next to yours and poke holes through the wall for the keyboard, mouse, and monitor wires.
is that Blockbuster extended the due date by a week and changed the late fee to $1.25.

even if they did consider mozilla a threat, why should they care? even the mozilla users will still need to buy windows.
why do we have to make up nicknames for everything? can't we just call it instant messenger spam? jeez.
a public library with computers built in 1999? i thought all libraries had to have a minimum of 15 year-old technology. count your blessings.

You've been getting bullied by Mormons?

Most professors wouldn't fancy the idea of their students whipping out a palmtop during an exam.
wow...good point...just goes to show how crappy BSD is!
Thanks, Pudge...I wasn't sure if 2004 - 3 was the proper operation for determining the original year based on an anniversary.
That's great and all, but how about censoring the most offensive thing of all...
Something that's been aired free of censorship for years...
Something offensive to almost every man that exists...much more offensive than the F word or the S word or a pair of boobies...
How about they FREAKING CENSOR TAMPON COMMERCIALS!!!
