If I spend 45hrs at work, then I can waste 5hrs doing what I like.
Sometimes in our techy jobs, our minds need downtime/idle waste time to keep us on the ball. You cant ask an athelete to nonstop run 200miles a day can you. Consider reading the web like training/stretching for a runner.
Cannot they use one cpu or machine per raster line, ie 1080i needs 540 cpus or 270 dual P4s/G5s.
To render 2048 pixels in 41milliseconds shouldnt be too hard, thats 49 pixels in 1ms. About 1/1000th of 3ghz cpu which is about 2.5million instructions, or 51000 per pixel.
Though pixar has lots of money, and instead of just buying 270 G5 servers, they could make their own FPGAs to do it.
Yeah, melbourne has nothing but tonnes of finance companies , call centres and medical/ lawer companies, no real research , oh and a.au registra.
Sure theres a handfull of gaming companies though to get in that line of work you already have to have been in a team that made a game or 2 or 3 and have a degree (how many degree people know gaming?) I know companies want quick results with no trainups, but comon, if someone already has done 3 games, then they are probably burned out tired from that type of work, get some newbies that are fresh and eager and have no hangups. The rest are either writing crap games for casino machines or a handfull of defense type jobs that want the utmost of specific experience.
Unless someone has some cool techy jobs give me a call/email (10yr+ exp here itching for some tech inventing) My past efforts will impress you.
experienced in win32/mac/linux , including assem, embedded and end user pro-apps.
When the magic emotion engine of ps2 was announced, I thought, hmmm are they going to for once try realtime raytracing in hardware or cont with tired old polygon rendering.
Imagine if nvidia threw in an extra 5m transistors for a raytracing option;)
To see a CEO walk away with 99% of the profits and dollars from a sellout is just utter evilness, if it could NOT HAVE been done at all with GOOD PEOPLE.
What would one suggest as a minimum for the key engineer/developers? 10% equity? 20%? 1%?
If theres 3 core engineers, then split 25% between them I say.
I got sick of BS giving me 4x upload than download, seeing 2kb download and 11kb upload was real anoying not to mention after downloading 200meg, my ISP count said I downloaded ~300meg+ so obviously theres a lot of dupes of blocks/retries/bogus traffic.
Gee, I wonder how they applied for the patent if they had to 'login' via the 'internet' to the patent website to apply for their 'internet login' patent?
He wont code an error handler for a DOS EOF? Is the guy so damn frikkin lazy he'd rather spend 15 mins arguing then fixing it? Wake up moron , code is supposed to be the slave to man and help him like god, so make it work, dont make the human work, BIAATCH!!!!
The more magic your code is , the better YOU ARE, otherwise go flip burgers and greasy ass pricken-zen-burgermeister. (GWB laff)
Rome wasnt built by ONE ASS PRICK carpenter who had a big ego, lots of people worked together.
Maybe go get sloshed real bad till you vomit, get a new perspective on code;-)
Are mailing lists so 1995? or do they still serve a purpose, if everyone was on it (it would be busy as hell) but also an online archieve might have a tonne of info etc... on it
Can I use my donated time to firefox dev as a tax deduction, ie 10hrs a week = 200$ a week tax discount? perhaps...? is that possible?
friggin ego head programmers, thats all we need, I thought they died away in 1990 when the 80s started to disapear!! Get with it boys, egos are for managers. Theres always someone better than you are, even tho they might be hard to find, someone also is always going to be better at different aspects of programming than you are. Only Stalins like to work alone, be part of team, just like StarTrek if you want something to comapare it to;-)
so fake it, quit/restart transparently and make it look like a window closes and reopens in 1/2 a second, store its current page/tabs in temp or clipboard, then quit/restart itself, DUHHHHH!!!!
* a university * a govt department * CIA * military * church * a CEO * family business
Yes, its real hard to get sacked there.
Treat your employment like you would a soviet era workplace. All public comments should be under false names/nicks otherwise you'll get 'thrown of a bridge';-)
Man IBM made millions during WW2 when so many companies were banned from doing business in german, IBM just got around it by using subsideries, and funneled the money back into local realestate which they could onsell later.

This is a great site, its not a wacky extreme site, but normal people, running a normal business with great topics on their weekly radio talk show.
:)
Give it a whirl, top interviews and ideas too.
Now if you want wacky, try rense.com radio news
How many billions has win2000 made? surey they could just sell that for $5 as is on a cheap cd, no box.
:)
They could retro fit the XP theme into 2000 and call it XP-$5 edition
They could have leased them for $1/week, do you still need 5 year parts if its leased?
Time to slaughter 95% of the sheap
I figure god has it in his todo list

Back to hard labour.
Why not gather up some old crap PCs, 1ghz or 1.8s, build a stack of 10-20 of them ($299 * 10) and install linux/povray on em all or whatever you use.
;)
Hell, even 20 chipped xboxs

Invest $100k in a smart fund with part in other currencies giving you 10% return = 259k
Now invest 200k of that over another 10 years while living of 59k and getting some average job.
Compare 20year result to a degree that your still paying off 10 years after grad and working your guts off for measly 50k beginner jobs.
No wonder builders/plumbers are driving BMWs
I think cards/hw should have built in port 80 tcp web admin on em, no need for error prone driver IO ;)
translate it from a i2c IO or something, I mean if a cheap $30 router can have web admin, so can a $200 RAID controller.
That said, in the absence of a driver, the raid should still 'work' by letting the OS use a default IDE driver.
But I understand the issues of reducing costs by moving some logic into drivers and leaving hardware less complex and error prone. Its just a balance.
the bank should give everyone no fees for 12months as a 'fine'.
;)
The resteraunt should give 1/2 price food for one week as a fine
Im sick of $$$$$ Fines that go back to the govt bucket.
ummm the Shuttles ;-)
id rather do it using 8 pages , one letter per page.
Or send 8 documents, every 2 days with one letter per document.
Or use plane sign writers in the sky to make sure everyone can see it over the companies HQ.
Gee, I wonder how they applied for the patent if they had to 'login' via the 'internet' to the patent website to apply for their 'internet login' patent?

Just like soviet russia and nationalistic parties germany, 'you must love your leaders or you vill die!!'
Ive always said corporations are just like mini communist nations, non-elected leader with its circle of generals and its spies.

IBM was the MS on the 00s to 40s alright.
