But what if you have a lot of technical skills? MacDonalds won't hire you because they're concerned that you'll run off the first instance that a better job shows up!
First of all who submits a resume to McDonalds? They have a little application you fill out and that's it. I have a ton of technical skills yet I still managed to get a job at Taco Bell. I was working their and fixing computers on the side. Fast food places are always hiring, and if you have technical skills they don't say "Hey this person is over qualified we can't hire them" they say "Hey this person is pretty smart lets hire them because they'll be a great employee."
The only time you'll ever give a fast food place a resume is for a management position, and the only way to get one of those is with past experience as a manager (or get hired as a regular employee and work your way up to manager.) If you really find yourself not able to get a fast food job you're too lazy to try, just show up and 99% of the time they will hire you and if they don't they'll send you to one of their stores that will (the taco bell I worked at was in desperate need of people, if anyone applied at one of the other 3 locations on staten island owned by our franchise they would be sent to where I worked.)
Dude try riding a unicycle for 5 minutes and you'll realize you're not being kept up the same way as on a bike. On a bike you can just get on and pedal fast and you're good. On a unicycle you have to balance your self much like on a segway. To keep from falling backwards or forwards you have to turn the wheel and move your body so that you're balanced again.
Wow you didn't understand the article at all. The point is to measure the hot spots, if you had the thing rotating the chocolate would melt evenly, creating a pool of chocolate. But since you take the turn table out, you get hot spots which you measure the distance between.
Because MPEG and DivX are both open formats? Well they work in windows and linux, and quicktime doesn't work so well in linux. Besides they don't have every other flavor, there's no realplayer or windows media player, just two formats. And I don't think WB would so they for making a fan based film that they aren't selling or making any money off of. That's like if WB sued a bunch of web admins for making matrix fan sites.

Smashing all this computer hardware in the Ukraine... that's like having fat people in somolia throwing food into the ocean because it's addicting and causes obesity.

I dunno about you but I actually have a retarded cousin Larry (Lawrence) and we treat him like we treat anyone else in our family.
Anyway, to get back on topic, it's Yahoo's service isn't it? And I'm pretty sure it's free (I could be wrong.) So what's wrong with them blocking other clients. Maybe their is a huge spam problem from third party clients (anyone can write a third party client that automates sending messages, it's very hard to use yahoo's own client to do that.) That's like being mad at AOL because you can't use a third party client to dial up.
It's actually quite easy to use the emergency brake as an actual emergency brake. Make sure your wheel's are straight and your car isn't sliding around and just pull the emergency brake. It's like jamming on the brakes before ABS. Now if you turn your wheel sharp in any one direction before you pull the emergency brake your car will continue in the direction you were headed with a spin in the direction you turned. However, I would shudder to think what would happen if most people tried to use the emergency brake after losing control of the car (sliding on ice, snow or rain.)
Let's see, illegal copies of music on my computer: 0
MP3's: Over 1,000
So umm when did having MP3's become illegal? I have music files on my computer which are completely legal? Sure if I download metallica MP3's and share them on the net, that's illegal. But if a band gives me their MP3's to download and share with their permission that's absolutely not illegal. Not like it matters though your posts are all flaimbait anyway.
BTW, I've noticed that if I listen to filk.com on my Linux box, my ears get worn out fairly quickly. On my Mac at work, however, it sounds a lot better. Same stream. I think Apple's doing some filtering or something to try to make low bitrate streams sound better.
Maybe it's the speakers? Audio settings? Sound cards? Equalizer settings? It could be any number of things, it's not like you're switching from Mac OS X to Linux on the same computer
Road runner did a cap a LONG time ago. I used to have as much bandwidth as my computer could use (downstream, up was like 25-30K/sec.) I downloaded redhat ISOs in 40 minutes for each one (700 megs from ftp.cdrom.com) think it was like 600K/sec. Now I'll be lucky if I can get 250K/sec. But as they were capping the downstream they were increasing the upstream so I considered it a fair trade off. I get around 45-50K/sec now which make a big difference when you're hosting a game. I liked having 600K/sec but 250 is just as nice, and uploading to people at twice the speed is worth it.
Umm do you understand how difficult it would be to have a phone that recognizes numbers from millions of different people's voices? It's easier for them to have a recording of your voice to compare with (how many different ways will you say "Dial Jim") besides can't you just make the recording for 9 dial the number 9? And have one for each number? And then just combine them all? I dunno, I never use any voice recognition type stuff, I really hate anything that doesn't take physical input because something can go wrong so much easier ("Dial gym",
"Dialing Jim",
"No you stupid phone! Dial gym!")
I never understood people who think talking on a cell phone in a restaurant is rude.
It'll be like the annoying cellphone freaks who think we want to listen to their conversation in a restaurant.
Oh now it all makes sense. I completely agree, I never want to listen to someone's conversation in a restaurant. I mean come on, it's time to study and you've got all this work to do, why the hell do people have to talk while you're at a restaurant! Those pricks should all be shot. Wait a restaurant is a what? A place to eat? Oh.
Generally while you're eating you like to discuss things with the people you're their with right? So what's wrong if I'm on my cell phone talking to someone? Not like you're sitting their with your friends all quiet, why is it that if someone's not physically in the restaurant they don't have the right to talk to people eating, and people eating don't have a right to talk to them. Sure you can't hear the other person talking but it's none of your damned buisiness what the other person is staying so butt out.
No book more clearly illustrates the mentality that turns ordinary people going about their daily business into a rioting, blood-thirsty mob than William Golding's masterpiece. When it comes to examining how easily we can descend into anarchy, LOTF is the bible.
I didn't know Lord of the Flies was based on a true story. If George W. Bush put out a book called "Oh god we love you because you're so great." Where a bunch of private school students take a trip, get stranded on an island, and have to live withoug God, would we believe that life without God creates anarchy? Well I know I wouldn't, just because someone wrote it down doesn't mean it's going to happen. Hell, if I find a giant mountain I can shout "melon" at it for years and tap it with a giant stick, it's still not going to open (like in Lord of the Rings.) And no matter how many times I shout "up" at a broom, it's not going to fly up into my hand (like in Harry Potter)
I said the same thing to my english teacher when she made us write a paper on why Lord of the Flies so cleary demonstrates what happens when we are left without the strict rules of society. It's just a work of fiction.
u can ask for the defendant's profits, our view is since we have written to these people three different times, it was certainly intentional and it was certainly
we have no way of knowing until the discovery takes place how much their profits are
Looks like a slashdot editor added that in... but what's up with the usage of "u" instead of "You"?
Shift, then ctrl if shift doesn't work. You can press those two keys in any program and they won't do anything without you holding them down and pressing a second key.
Home and end are also pretty safe along with page up, page down. Although those 4 keys will do stuff in most programs.
Alt I wouldn't press cause it'd go to the top bar of whatever your program you're in and highlight one of the options. Tab might switch to something you don't want to switch to, caps lock well that toggles something so you'd have to press it twice, same with numlock.

People like you really bother me.
Frankly, these perverts are lucky they have any freedom. No society can exist where people like this can prey on the young with impunity.
I'm 21 years old, should I be thrown into jail and have all my rights taken away for having sex with a 17 year old girl? When I was 18 if I had a 16 year old girlfriend should I be called a pervert? It's only a 2 year age difference but for some reason if we have sex it's statuatory rape and I can go to jail and be labeled as a pedophile for the rest of my life.
Isn't it great, a 50 year old man can marry an 18 year old but if a 22 year old touches a 16 year old he's a pedophile that should be thrown in jail for statutory rape for commiting such a perverse and disgusting act. And thanks to people like you they will have everyone knowing about their lives. When they get a job their employer will never know anything about the age of the girl, the situation they were in (did she consent to sex or not?) just "This person is a convicted child rapist and pedophile."

Actually it should be more like...

Then they went on murder condemned and I did not speak out because I was not murder condemned.
Then they went on tagging all former felons and I did not speak out because I was not a former felon.
Then they tagged people with bad social pasts and juvenile arrests and I did not speak out because I didn't have a bad social past or a juvenile arrest.
Then they tagged immigrants and I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant.
Then they tagged people belonging to certain religions "because they might be potential terrorist" and I did not speak out because I didn't belong to those religions.
When they came to tag there was no one left to speak out.

You can't look at the speedometer and the road at the same time but you can see both. If you're looking at the road you can still see your speedometer and that little needle. All you really need to know is where most of the numbers are on your speedometer. And 55 is usually a red line near the top, when you're driving on the highway you'll know when you're doing 55 cause the red needle and the red line will be together and it's easy to see without looking at it. Of course it's always nice to know your exact speed but for people who drove for a bit they can just feel the speed they're going.
Why would you be wearing a walkman in a car? I've never seen a car that had absolutely no stereo. Even if you have a car that's total crap and no money for a stereo, you can find a junkyard and buy one for the price of the walkman (and you should have some amount of money if you can pay for the gas in your car and buy a walkman)

Last week, Microsoft Corp. announced a computer mouse with horizontal scrolling capabilities and even a mouse outfitted in leather.
I know "why" isn't a great question to ask on slashdot but now I really mean it. I think horizontal scrolling would be VERY nice, especially when looking at a large picture and you don't feel like moving to the bottom and scrolling, and you can't use the arrow keys to move because you only have one han... ok I'll stop right their.
Anyway, why fit a mouse with leather? Your hand gets very warm and sweaty from playing games and sometimes just doing regular work on the computer so why would you want a leather covered mouse? I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun having your hand stick to your mouse when it's too hot. And wouldn't the sweat really wear down the leather and like ruin it? Won't whatever dye they use bleed onto your hand? I dunno it just doesn't seem like a good idea.
