Yes, that is called an invention....and functionally useless ways!"
So... powering your mobile phone long enough to call for help without the need of a power outlet is functionally useless, but dynamo flashlights and radios are okay?
OoooooooKay! Never mind that lotsa people go camping, or break down on the highway, or forget to take their charger when they travel. Heh. It's funny how the less somebody knows, the stronger their opinions are.
Until this feature is intergrated into your phone. Try this elequent hack.
Locate a quarter Purchase scotch tape Tape quarter to phone
When you need to make a phone call, but it's dead. Just remove quarter.
Unfortunately, this solution won't work for everybody. If your mother were to keep this phone in her back pocket, she might accidentaly squeeze a booger out of George Washington's nose.
The point isn't to charge it to capacity, the point is to get your phone running long enough to place a call if your battery goes low.
I don't get many calls on my cell phone, so I get lazy about charging it. If I could wind it up a few times and get 10-15 minutes of talk time (which sounds reasonable based on the article), then it saves my booty if I get stranded or something.
You're operating on impractical assumptions there. Heh.
Wanna know what's fun when you're working in a cubicle environment? Unplug the DSL modem. Not only do you learn new words, but you can play with everybody's day at once!
Wish they appreciated me, I'm getting too creative when it comes to annoying people.
Maybe you should think about testing for skills and knowledge and drop the whole "magic question" approach. Even if your interviewee didn't learn the answer from the headhunter, who's to say he didn't learn it from an interviewer at another company, or from a classmate who interviewed with you last year?
If you tested for skills, it wouldn't MATTER if they learned them from someone else. In fact, that would probably make you very happy.
I realize that suggesting that you actually do your job and learn how to become a competent interviewer is a burdensome request, but in these difficult times we all have to sacrifice a bit.
Why are you assuming we did nothing but ask 'magic question' questions? Heh. I dated this one girl (sorry to rub it in, pal) that made similar overreactive under-cooked accusations. "This color is pretty on me? Are you saying I'm a cow in other colors?!?!"
Yep... acting like a bitch sure brings back memories. Heh. I have to admit, though, you did a wonderful impression of her.:)
ARRRRRGGGHH!!! He didn't post the answers anywhere!!!
I know why. My company recruited for engineers through a headhunter service. For the first couple of days, the 'riddles' we used were getting only soso results from the candidates. By the 3rd day, everybody was getting perfect scores.
A man would like to have safe sex with three women, any of whom may be carrying an STD. Given two condoms, how can he do so, while ensuring that no STD is passed from one woman (or possibly himself) to another (or to himself)?
Hmm I think your post is the sole reason that the site got Slashdotted.
This has nothing to do with the topic, I just wanted to ask you a question away from moderator's eyes: I got a little blue thingy next to your posts that says 'fan' when I hover my mouse over it.
Heh at one point RCA had a patent on 'drawing an alphanumeric character on the screen'. All TV manufacturers had to pay a license for drawing the channel # on the screen. I think it expired tho.

It's not new technology...

So?
"...it's merely applying technology in new..."
Yes, that is called an invention.
So

"Uh, not to repeat myself but... Almost usless news connected to products yet again"
Is it wrong of me to take pleasure in seeing posts like these? All of these "I dont get it therefore it is stupid" posts make me feel 733t. Heh.

"This is nothing more than a dynamo flashlight or disaster radio without the bulb or radio."
What kind of long distance rates are you getting with your dynamo flashlight?
Somebody needs to make a 'Canyonero' mod for Grand Theft Auto 3. Heh.

Okay, here you go.

That was better than my answer. I assumed bigger foot = taller person = less likely to rest his head on the desk to sleep.
Oh well. Heh. Thanks!
Think about it.
Heh.
... we need a protective layer of smog. Throw enough garbage into the atmosphere and the asteroid'll burn up.
Quick! Everybody guy a Canyonero!
Most of you only have 16 years to lose your virginity!
Heh teasin =)
I find that very flattering, thank you. :)
*Placed you as a friend as well.*
Good day!
"What, exactly, does this have to do with ANYTHING the poster said?"
His comment was dripping with "I hate Windows so I hope MS has to pay in some way or another.". It doesn't take a telepath to see that.

May I ask about it?
Heh at one point RCA had a patent on 'drawing an alphanumeric character on the screen'. All TV manufacturers had to pay a license for drawing the channel # on the screen. I think it expired tho.
Anybody remember that? My details are fuzzy.
Heh I thought it was funny.
Go fig. Any chance another mod'll come around and re-evaluate parent post about the Mozilla pic?
Lol okay, I'll smoke my money. :P

Close, he's my coworker. He showed me your post and we had a good laugh at you.
Don't get pulled in. He's just a troll. He's not really offended, he just wants to get some attention.
Your 'pet peeve' is overreactive and assumptive. What's that make you? A shallow fuck. So don't call me one.
