This is the consistent message from the Dems today. They know better. Let them handle it. Stop thinking. Stop parenting. Let the maternal federal government take care of everything.
Yes. Thank God for the Republicans. At least they are around to keep the government out of our personal lives!
For $100 million, I'd want to be the first guy to have a three way in Space! (with 2 hot women - of course)
Probably OT, but why not:
Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Talk about wannabees--this isn't cool or amusing, it's just sad. It could have been entertaining, but these people are taking themselves way too seriously.
You are correct. This entire submission makes me think of the star of the "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" Video. THAT is nerdcore.
I would like to apply for the job of "Guy that pulls numbers out of his ass".
Dear Jayhawk88,
Thank you for your interest in my company. Normally, we would definitely be interested in hiring a "Guy that pulls numbers out of his ass". However, I regret to inform you that we will not be hiring any time soon. I will keep your resume on file, for we do plan on hiring again -- in about 25 years.
It probably does cost the industry, but the fact that they have to come up with a number at all demonstrates some level of bias here.
Well, I've been trying to get through to the company web-site. Shockingly enough, it has been slashdotted to oblivion. I finally did get through to the Coral Cache. Cybersource is an IT services company from DownUnder. They claim to be "Australia's leading Linux and Open Source Solutions Company".
Yes, obviously, there is no bias here. Please move along.
I've always made myself available after hours and I've been promoted time after time with pay raises every time. My bosses see the value in the work that I do for them and they reward me for that hard work.
At my old employer, I used to work significant overtime. I used to come in on Saturdays. I was rewarded by that company. I left that employer eight years ago. I went directly to my current employer. Now that I am married and have a child, you can be damn sure I don't work on Saturdays or Sundays. When I leave the office, I don't look at my e-mail until the morning. I insist on receiving utilization credit for every hour worked (I am a consultant). When I take a vacation, I don't take my laptop with me.
Despite my "attitude" (as you describe it), I received significant raises over the past couple of years, when no one else in my company was getting any increase.
That is a very interesting question. My company (a consulting firm) actually encourages us to work from home, in order to reduce the amount of money they spend on building rental, heating, maintenance, etc. Most of my clients do NOT encourage remote access. It usually requires an act of Congress to gain remote access to my various clients.
The broad question is, does the fact that you can remain compatible with today's applications and data on hardware that is almost a decade old, impede PC sales?"
My only question is, what's up with the Friday slots? Aren't those slots where shows usually die?
I think it depends on the demographic you are after. I don't think they are shooting for 18-24 year partiers;-)
Well, back when I was 18 to 24. I didn't leave the HOUSE until 11pm. Now that I am older and wiser, I have trouble staying awake past 10pm.
Oh, Sci-Fi Channel, Why do you do this to me???? Change the time slot to 9pm! Then I can stay awake.
It is unfortunate of the timeslt, Fridays at 10:00 is not always the best time because people tend to go out more on Fridays.
The obvious solution to this problem is to purchase a Tivo. Of course, there is a potential downside to Tivo/DVR's. That would be the six episodes of The Sopranos from the spring of 2004 that I STILL haven't watched.
And if you miss it the first time, you can tune in immediately afterwards to catch the same linup again!
Well, I'll probably be watching BSG at 10pm, but I already have the Tivo set for 11pm. It's Battle Mackerel on the Iron Chef. Michiba is such a bastard. I hope he loses, big time.
Isn't the fact that Google is already in the market a pretty big barrier to entry?
Uh, no. Anyone with with half a brain and decent programming skills can create a search engine to compete with Google. Here's Wikipedia's explanation. The existence of a powerful competitor such as Goole does NOT mean that someone else can't do exactly the same thing as Google. And, hundreds of HotBots or Vivisimo's will eventually chew away at Google's share.

...oh, wait....nevermind.....
In the future, I would suggest that you try to speak out on your feelings. Internalizing your disdain for someone is no way to live.
After all, it takes a village. Now, let's all get together and sing Kum-ba-ya...
Sonny: You touch my sister again, I'll kill you
Probably OT, but why not:
Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.

***Insert joke about the value of a rouble here***
Wow. Nice statistic. Too bad it is invented and isn't backed by any evidence.
That statement makes absolutely no sense. As I recall, in most countries, including China and India, the government manages the educational system.
You are correct. This entire submission makes me think of the star of the "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" Video. THAT is nerdcore.

They said Australian Dollars, not Canadian Dollars.
The number one fastest in what way? Revenues? Profits? Employees? Hype?
That's what NASCAR and Formula One fans do every week. They watch fast cars go around a track, waiting for something terrible to happen....

Are you a consultant?
No! I mean, Yes! Wait....No!
At first, I thought you were talking about "Home videos OF instant torture." Your Aunt must be a really interesting person. :)
Oddly enough, I have absolutely no interest in wathcing pr0n on a 1 - 1/2 inch screen.
This just in: Amazon has just patented "hhg". You are hereby ordered to give up your Slashdot UID.

The cost is an estimate. I have heard anywhere from $30 to $50. As demand increases, I am sure the price will drop.
