Then don't use the acronym, name it! If the name is too long, then rename it to something shorter and easier to remember.
And just because someone else hasn't released "full" version doesn't make it right. You are the one searching for a job, what count is peoples view of your project(s).
And don't get jumpy about it, I work for an IT company and we do hire C/C++ programmers, and I am one of those sitting across the table. I checked out your site and my response is the same as if you would have applied where I work - granted you wouldn't have been told, but would just have ended up in the bottom of the pile.
Also, you are getting criticism, it sucks, but you need to suck it in and learn from peoples input - a Google search would now turn up this thread (somewhere) when searching for your project; how you handle yourself here will also impact your future applications.
So you have been working for 3 years on the project, but hasn't managed to get it into a first version yet? No wonder you can't get a job if you can't show ability to get stuff out the door.
Also, ARSS? In the beginning you called it ARSE - Yes that might be tong in cheek and kind of fun, but for a company hiring it doesn't exactly signal maturity.
Remember you are pointing them to this project saying "this is what I can do!" and when they go there you show them that you are a lazy guy who doesn't get his things done. It might not be who you are, but those are the signals, and they are what count.
I'm not an American, so things are obviously different on your side of the pond, but the way it works in Denmark with shoplifting is you get hit with a fine twice the amount you stole, but at least 300DKR ($60), and you get a nasty mark in your records for the next 5 years.
Oh and you don't even go to jail, police pick you up, handles the issue and let you go again.
Why why WHY!!!!! do you guys accept this kind of treatment?
In Denmark, if something is charged to your account and its fraudulent or something is amiss with the transaction, the bank is the one carrying the charge, not the customer or company.
If it turns out you are screwing around with them you are of course going to jail, but at least we assume that something really did go wrong.
The guy is smart, he listen to his engineers - in fact he refuses to elaborate on the problem until they are absolutely sure its what caused it. He might come off as someone a bit eager to get his product flying (and staying airborne), but comparing him to the fucktards that killed people in NASA launches where they where advised against it is just not right.
From the interview: Musk: Patience is a virtue, and I'm learning patience. It's a tough lesson.
So because he backs up his team of engineers, who says they should have nailed the problem you put him up with pointy haired bosses who overrules their engineers?
Having a boss that is hell bent on making a goal is nice, especially when he understands the risks involved and doesn't go flag someone up the posts for getting it wrong.
Wouw, so you are saying that since we can't prove we are the ones causing climate changes we should just keep on burning coal, wasting resources etc?
How about, yes we don't know whats causing it, but the amount of crap we are emitting into the atmosphere can't be good, so perhaps - just perhaps - it would be smart to live a bit cleaner, take the bike rather than car, turn of those items on stand by. If we are lucky; being a bit cleaner about our living could potentially help down the road.
Nah, the terrorists are done, currently they are sitting at home trying to figure out how to keep up with the amount of terror the US government is putting into its citizens.
Well first of all, it's shot from one angle, saw another movie like this where some random blogger (also the case here it seems) thinks its "holographic" when it is in fact a projector shooting on clear plastic.
Also it looks to me that he interacts with the system through sensors in each hand, clicking them when he wants to "grab" something - and they are poorly calibrated, quite a lot of the time the system clearly isn't responding the way he wants it to.
The patches are welcome statement pisses people off, its arrogant and the wrong response.
Just tell them nice and easy that you are more then willing to fix it for the right amount of money. Even if they start the talk by being dicks and saying "this sucks" you should be nice to them, you are after all representing the community.
Quite a lot of rockets blew up in the early years of NASA, even rockets carrying humans - that's how you figured out how to make the best height to width ratio for instance. While the programming going on at NASA is schoolbook examples of how it should be done, quite a lot of other things they do are downright insane - like strapping a person to a solid booster rocket.
Only the old versions, the new G15 has less programmable keys.
Also the old version of G15 has 3 memory mappings you can switch between, so you can have 45 functions, provided your game is properly detected by logitech.
Any given distro will have to make a choice of what modules each program should support, this means even as a PHP programmer you have no guarantee your software will work with default installation of PHP under a specific distro.
Because the drivers will be optimized for these tests, rather than the game - they did it before, they will do it again (Nvidia and ATI sure wasn't above it).
Well one thing is to ignore a wee country like Antigua, but if some EU company IP suddenly surfaces in the US the fallout would be quite big - just look at the steel situation in 2002-2003, yes it took a while, but the US gave up. (this isn't conspiracy nut case - they have the "right" to give the data to any private entity)
Well he is right. LaTeX documents, just look nicer than WYSIWYG documents, when you are used to LaTeX you are never in doubt where some document originated.

Spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider pig does...
The trick when being between a rock and a hard place is to avoid the ball when you finally drop. /Obscure? I hope not.
No.
The bank authorized the charge, they are responsible for it.
No, you forgot the Government - but of course it would require a somewhat corruption free government.

Also the GP clearly haven't read the interview.

I think YOU have an attitude problem.
Wouw, so you are saying that since we can't prove we are the ones causing climate changes we should just keep on burning coal, wasting resources etc?

Well not exactly, you are bound to end up with a better result than the guy in the movie.
Well first of all, it's shot from one angle, saw another movie like this where some random blogger (also the case here it seems) thinks its "holographic" when it is in fact a projector shooting on clear plastic.

Except it's a legal minefield when you are handling customers from outside the US where such shenanigans are prohibited.
No, they don't block images, they block hosted images. If you attach an image the proper way it should still be shown.
The patches are welcome statement pisses people off, its arrogant and the wrong response.

What a load of BS.

No no, you don't have to make it look like anything, just tell reporters what they should report.
Wrong.

Actually this probably wont go over too well with the WTO, when they confiscate some company secret data and it later surfaces in some US company...
You sir, owe me a new keyboard!
Posts like that should come with a "Do not read this while drinking" warning.
Well he is right. LaTeX documents, just look nicer than WYSIWYG documents, when you are used to LaTeX you are never in doubt where some document originated.
