the only people that would drop $300-500 for a walkman are also the only people that would spend $60,000 on a car. iPods are cool, yes; but i could never justify the cost.
recruiters want a resume they can scan for keywords and they want to know how long you've been using a particular tool/skill. if the position is in a specialized industry then the tool/skill may refer to a specific product or protocol.
imho the best length is 2 full pages, about 100 lines. if your experience of talent can't fill this up, you need to indulge a little. if it's longer, you need to cut out the fluff. they don't want your life story.
keywords are important. if a recruiter is looking for a c++ or java coder then they don't want to spend 2 minutes reading your resume, trying to figure out if you've ever used them before. they want to see those keywords easily in your resume and then if they do, how much experience you have. after the basic quantitative evaluation, they'll like take a look at the major projects you've listed off. the more impressive-sounding the claims, the more likely you'll get a call.
remember that if you're young with no real-world experience, no matter how important you make yourself sound, you will not look better than someone who has 5 years of experience, unless perhaps your reputation precedes you (about %0.0001 of people). no matter how cool your final project was or how much better you were than the rest of your class. you're entry level and when you find a job it will be entry level unless you have a rich family member who owns a business (perhaps 2% of people). for the other 97.9999%, keep blasting out those resumes
as for actually find a job, just keep trying... my girlfriend looked for a job for months before she got lucky and found a place where an ex-colleague was in a position to hire and she got the job. the old "it's not what you know it's who you know" story. try checking with people you or your family or friends know; your highest probability for employment (note: not best jobs) is likely with someone you already know... although i did that twice through friends of my dad and they were both shitty jobs. good luck!
i do. however, it would have been better if they grouped languages vertically by their relationship to one another... it looks like this has been done for some languages but not all... we'd see smaller vertical lines... for example, Rexx is at the top, but is linked to and links to 3 languages in the middle. it would make more sense, therefore, to have Rexx in the middle (or the others closer to the top)
cool programming challenge: figure out the optimal vertical order for the languages so as to minimize the length of relationship indicators
The slashdot crew will start caring about opera releases when it's truelly free and not add supported.
yeah, because slashdot sure isn't ad-supported. i'd think slashdotters would be interested in general web-and-software-related things even if they're not necessarily Free(tm)
beautiful image! i did notice it was 200k though. if you're not familiar with the "convert" program it comes as part of the ImageMagick library and generates very small (byte-wise) image files while still maintaining quality. you might want to consider running it over any images you put up on the web, as it can save you considerable bandwidth.
convert existingfile.ext newfile.ext
is all you need. i mirrored your pic at my site and it looks the same and is less than 1/3 the size. just thought i'd mention it. keep up the kick-ass modding!
very nice analogy. i would mod you up had i the points to give. speaking of SCSI320... hard disk is one crucial factor in performance to which most people don't pay attention. i've only just come to appreciate it myself, doing my first work with some (relatively) large production databases.
even on my workstation on the job, my P4 2.8GHz HT processor regularly waits and waits for the puny IDE HD to load or seek through a data file or complete a search of the filesystem. it's like wasting access to a genius: he could solve any problem within seconds, but it takes an hour to ask the question.

so is Brainfuck, but i wouldn't consider it the right tool at any time.
i have this as well, flashblock which i found at extensionroom.mozdev.org i must say, it's simple, effective and keeps even ad-riddled pages looking pretty clean. the only times i actually "click to play" is when the content i'm there for is the flash, such as on homestarrunner or when someone sends me a link to a flash game... i never see the other 90% of flash content, and i don't miss it one bit.
While the plot (and especially dialog) of the movie was pretty poor, the visuals were absolutely awesome. It's one of those movies that you just watch because it looks pretty and sort of turn your brain off.
as opposed to the other Hollywood movies that are mentally stimulating. i will admit The Day After Tomorrow was enjoyable, mostly because it showed L.A. being destroyed
this is merely an extension of what Microsoft has already done well, which is take away choice. most people do not want choice when it comes to computers. most people want to be told what to use and how to use it because that's with what they're familiar.
this plan is to convert today's hardware/software usage, which is similiar to a condo (own the hardware, decorate the interior with the software of your choice) to the apartment model (rent everything). the consumer no long owns the space. they don't get to swap out the interior. you get the whole thing in one big package, which you don't own (marketing will say "Your creativity. Our worldwide platform." next to a headshot of a smiling kid or something) and you'll pay rent to Microsoft/SUN for the whole package. then next year, you'll pay slightly less for an 'upgrade' so you can play this year's games and use the new Photoshop which only runs on this year's model.
hardware shifts from building a decent machine you could run for 5 years to a disposable machine that is slightly better than last year's model. manufacturers will gear towards minimum cost instead of maximum performance. Dell's people will do the math on how many units they could ship every year if Microsoft can get people on a subscription plan.
the goal, of course, is to make more money, which they certainly will, if people are dumb enough to buy into it. Microsoft gets a) more, guarenteed revenue, b) a single platform to write software for, c) even more control.
So if I have physical access to the machine, I can compromise it (assuming of course I brought some OSX os disks?)
assuming you know what you're doing, then yes, physical access and a little time is all you need. that goes for pretty much any machine. one reason for server rooms and cages in hosting facilities.
This attention resulted in over 150,000 requests to our server in less than a day, which is still standing despite yesterday being a national holiday with no one there to stand next to it saying "You can do it. You can do it." Kudos to Sun Microsystems and the folks who built Apache. My statement was mirrored all over the Internet, so the number of true hits to it is probably a substantial multiple of that. There were also quite a few comments at Slashdot, Groklaw, and other sites, many of them about me.

The HL2 source code being stole happened last October, over 8 months ago. here's a dated money.cnn.com article
if i got laid last October and then laid today, i wouldn't necessarily say this time was 'hot on the heels' of the last time.
oh wait, since i read slashdot, maybe i would...
when the ports are a-kockin....

extortion just doesn't pay like it used to.
omg, i know this is /., but how could i have so awfully butchered the word 'omelette'? i need to stop drinking while i'm at work... or drink more.
yeah, and what's with his whacky keyboard?
it also would have made one hell of an omellete.

i wasn't aware coders were allowed to reproduce! it gives me hope -- not the practical kind of hope, just the useless, abstract, pie in the sky kind.

if the ads "don't work" then no one agrees with them and the advertisers are wasting their money. either way, what's the problem?
yes, it's a shame, very few virus writers are supporting win98. please upgrade to win xp for the latest viruses. ;-D
