  1. Re:Where is your sense of adventure? on India Becoming a Major Hub for Western Job Seekers · · Score: 1

    I understand your point AC #3 and thank you for taking time to elaborate rather then labeling me an idiot as other posters have done. The point that I was trying to make was simply to take calculated risks. I am 21 years old, I have no children, very little college debt and no other obligations. For those of you not in this situation take risks that are appropriate for you; don't just bitch about how there are no jobs in the United States. In the position that I am in I can afford to take risks, and I accept the consequences of failure willingly. If things turn South, I will have enough money saved to simply fly back to the United States where I can get another job. Failure breeds success; ex. Henry Ford, Abe Lincoln, Xerox, ect...

  2. Where is your sense of adventure? on India Becoming a Major Hub for Western Job Seekers · · Score: 1

    You guys are the biggest whiners that I have ever meet. I am amazed at egocentrism and closed mindedness that my fellow Slashdoters display. Why is that people assume that any other country other then the US is terrible? I say take a little risk, step out side your comfort level and do something other then whine. Go to India or China for a year and if you don't like it come back. What is there to lose? I think the problem is that people are way too provincial. Or if you do not want to go to India then get out of your parents basement and start your own business. Take risks, fail and learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person for it. I am looking forward to an Internship position in electrical engineering this summer. I have read a lot about the culture and I am looking forward to it. A break from "American" culture will be refreshing.

  3. Maby Slashdot does not link to it because..... on Listen To Your Game Boy Advance · · Score: 1

    Maybe Slashdot does not link to it because it is in Japanese? It seemed obvious to me.

  4. Re:Operating Frequencys on More On Airplanes And Internet · · Score: 1

    That goes with out saying. But does using it at lower altitudes cause interference with other flight electronics?

  5. Operating Frequencys on More On Airplanes And Internet · · Score: 1

    Does any one know what frequency this would operate at? I have always wondered exactly what frequency interferes with flight electronics and which ones don't. Do hand cell phones interfere with flight systems in reality or is this just a way of making you pay to use the ones built into the back of the seats? I have wondered about this for a while.

  6. Mad cows! on Gobs Of Gaming Goodies · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    My personal favorite was the herd or mad cows or the giant stone donkey. The mad cows rocked!

  7. Scorched Earth on Gobs Of Gaming Goodies · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Aww, hours of my youth were wasted playing this game. So simple yet so beautiful. There is nothing quite like a properly placed atomic death head missile. Another great game along this same venue is Worms Armageddon. If you never plaed it you have missed out.

  8. I can't find the pr0n! on 3-D Search Engine for Shapes · · Score: 1

    There are no naked chicks in the data base of 3 dimensional shapes that Stanford has in its data base. I looked it up using every illustration and word combination that I could think of to no avail. There search engine works surprisingly well it's just that the library of shapes searched is limited. I can see this being a lot more impressive of the library of shapes was bigger.

  9. I would buy a mountain of cheese dip! on HOWTO: Spend A Billion Dollars · · Score: 1

    Groo wondering: How much cheese dip can I buy for a million copins? Next since: Groo is sitting on a mountain of cheese dip. (An obscure comic book reference from Groo the warrior)

  10. Re:Bachelorettes in Alaska on Cray SX-6 Installed in Alaska · · Score: 1

    Let me tell you something, I am a student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and there are NO hot ski bunny types to speak of. In fact most men in Fairbanks look better dresses as women then the women look dressed as women. The new Cray is cool though because students can check-out processing time on these things for "worthwhile" projects, such as calculating the odds of finding a girlfriend in Fairbanks (about 1 to a 10,000,000).
