Posting sexual pictures of yourself on a site called www.porn.ie, for example, is making a decision to participate in a sexual activity (exhibitionism).

Identification & contact details. (address, phone etc) Date (so they know the resume is current)
Summary blurb. (Use this as your "hook" if you have anything to brag about.
"On our last project I was instrumental in our team's successful cure for cancer, elimination of world hunger and the establishment of Unreal Tournament as the nation's premier sporting event."
Bullet point listing of key competencies.

One or two paragraph summary of experience, most recent first.
August 2005 - Current:
Crowd controller for Rammstein.
Acting as a human buffer to crazed fans, I successfully protected the band from encroachment and injury on 37 separate occasions. A strong commitment to workplace safety was demonstrated by my use of a rubber-shielded baton, while my leather and vinyl attire coordinated well with the band's homo-industrial stage antics.

The key is to get ALL of this up to a couple of your most recent gigs on one page. That'll give the reviewer a good chance to assess you and shortlist you without having to wade through reams of paper, so keep it al brief and to the point.
Once you've got that part done, you an start listing other experience and qualifications on the following pages, then finish up with references. As well as a list of names and contact info, it's a good idea to include a couple of juicy quotes from referees.

The wavelength of your average microwave oven is about 1.2mm, so anything smaller than that can stay cool. Microwaves area also unevenly spread throughout the oven so there are areas where your gnat could have flown and not been affected.
Our monopoly, Telstra, gives us connections like 1500/256.
Telstra's not a DSL monopoly any more. iiNet and others have installed ADSL2 DSLAMS in a lot of local exchanges, and offer 24Mb/sec plans. Still have data caps, but data leeched locally (Pipe) doesn't count towards your quota. It's a lot better than anything Telstra have to offer.
He's saying the game will create an ongoing danger to the local community
Waltzing was a danger to the Swiss and Austrian communities too. It's a good thing they were smart enough to ban it, or lawlessness would have broken out and civilisation as we know it would be over by now.
And drugs. Now, it's a good thing we had that war on drugs so now nobody can buy them, get wasted and forment anarchy. If it hadn't been for the billions of dollars spent, and all those lives wasted rotting in jail, those damn potheads could have ended up running the world.
Now it's gamers. We have to stop them getting their hands on anything that might make them think of violence. I mean, imagine what could happen if that rabid pack of pasty-faced basement dwellers decided to get out and do something instead of twiddling their joysticks. Who could even think of standing up to a flabby menace like that?
That's one set of new overlords I won't be welcoming.
Which means I have reason to think you understand what I was say and know that your response is pretty well beside the point.
Understanding what you say is not difficult, but what you're saying is wrong and misleading which is probably why the parent poster made their snarky comment.
Linux is not a single entity susceptible to bloat. There are big "kitchen sink" distros (Mandriva, Fedora, etc) you might call bloated, but equally there are lean distros which are most definitely not (Vector, Puppy, DSL etc). There's plenty in between those two poles too.
Even most of the so-called bloated distros can be fairly compact if you choose your isntall options carefully, so your "bloated" criticism is really a criticism of too much choice. Some of us like choice.
I still have difficulty with this "you can't do that, because you're a monopoly" thinking.
You've got your facts wrong.
Adobe complained because Microsoft was simultaneously introducing a competitor to PDF called Metro, and adding PDF export to Office. Microsoft would then be in the position of owning the most popular creator of both formats.
Considering Microsoft's history of "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish", I'd say Adobe had a right to be worried.
Yes, an clearly moderation *isn't* good enough for slashdot. This doesn't mean that it's not required, but it's not good enough.
Wikipedia is another effort with good, but not good enough mechanisms.
Despite appearances, they're two of the most successful collaborative tools in human history.
I'm sure you're right that they will be overshadowed by better designed tools in the future, but don't get your knickers in a twist because they're not perfect now. I know this is the era of instant gratification, but you have to walk before you can run, and as far as first steps go, both Slash and Wiki were pretty big strides.
Are they or aren't they Spammers. I have never seen their emails.
It looks like they are - from Spamhaus' answer page:
Spamhaus firmly stands by its position that Linhardt is a spammer, Spamhaus has large samples of spam advertising Linhardt's website www.bargaindepot.net, sent to Spamtraps and non-existent users, including spam sent to some of Spamhaus own investigators, plus many complaints from Internet users ready to testify they never opted-in to any such list and were being spammed by Linhardt. (see samples of e360 spam below)
windows will continue to be 'relevant' as long as it comes pre-installed on many machines
The days of that happening may be limited. MS has just announced the pricing of Vista in Australia ITWire. Vista Ultimate will cost us AUD$751, while Office 2007's equivalent looks like retailing at about AUD$1,100.
That means a fully-loaded home/office machine could attract a Microsoft tax of close to AUD$2,000.
It's possible to build the hardware component of a midrange machine for AUD$6-700, so the monopoly rent for Win/Office is starting to look pretty scary. Obviously most people will be getting their software OEM, but seeing those sticker prices on the retail packs is going to make your average shopper think twice about what that beige box might cost them without the predatory pricing.
Anyone who would agree to make a $20 million investment based on someone else's ORAL guarantee (e.g. WITHOUT a WRITTEN agreement) is a complete MORON or LIAR.
If Microsoft can delay the possibility of a competitor taking just 50% of their market for a single day, their earnings are enough that it would have been $20 million well invested.
The danger to them would have come from the paper trail the money would have left, not the cost of buying Baystar's compliance. The fact they were able to generate so much FUD about their competition without having to take that risk is a bonus for them.
I have a stock firefox install with no extensions, and it routinely consumes up to 2GB of memory
I keep reading about Firefox memory consumption, but I've never seen it on any of the computers I use or support (a mix of Linux flavours and XP). My main computer's a dual boot laptop with 512MB, at the moment running XP. Firefox is using about 58MB after about three days of use, including several Fark visits and Photoshop comps.
Is there something about your install of XP or Firefox that's non-standard?
I have had lots of problems getting linux 2.6 kernel OS's to run fast enough on Pentium II's, for instance.
The 2.6 kernel is fine on older hardware. Most of the performance problems come from trying to run modern desktop environments on top of it. I've got Vector Linux running on a PII 233 with 64MB. It's no rocket, but works well enough.
Having some old dude and a bunch of his fleeing kin at the exact right spot just as tsunami drains enough water to create a land bridge would be plenty magical I think.
Yeah, that's why it's more likely to be the result of "wind setdown" and the resulting bore when the wind failed. The water being pushed back to expose a path would have been a reasonably common event. If you were a local, you'd know it would be a dangerous path to use, but if you were desperate to escape it might have seemed worth the risk.
Slashdot Mirror
Both XFS and EXT3 are more of a step sideways than a step up. I'd love to see a mainstream Linux distro adopt Sun's ZFS as its default filesystem.

You're still implying there's something wrong with pornographic actions, and that it's the role of the government to regulate them.
I'd suggest that whatever sexual activity takes place between consenting adults (or solo, given that this is Slashdot) is their own business.
