Maybe you would have better luck if you ordered an espresso? I saved a special smirk for people who ordered expressos from me. Especially when they're wearing an expensive Versace (ver-sAse).
In conversations with my friends and cow-orkers, it seems that these sites are best at placing people who have very specific skillsets.
Everyone I know (including myself) that has posted looking for genral sales, customer support, managerial positions, etc. has had very little luck because of the dirth of posters and job postings in these areas.
The others that have posted for positions in CAD, graphic design, architecture, etc. have specialized enough skillsets that employers who are looking for them can easily separate them from the rest of us.
The bottom line is that it's easier to filter employers/employees that are searching for/have "J2EE architecture, MCIF systems, etc." experience. The rest of us get contacted by Company Confidential for ***EXCITING! Work From Home, Flexible BOSS-FREE Hours!!!*** opportunities.
The AT&T Wireless brand name will cease to exist if the merger is approved; you'll only have Cingular service. As for the affiliates, they can choose to become "a proud member of the Cingular network: get bought outright, or take the chance of going on their own (which will most likely result in a buyout anyway).
Slightly OT: It's too bad that the AT&T Globe will be setting on the horizon in the next few years. With the loss of AT&T Broadband, and now AT&T Wireless, and soon (probably) the buyout of AT&T LD by one of the Baby Bells, we're going to lose an American corporate icon that traces its legacy back to AG Bell. I know there isn't room for sentimentality like this in the corporate world, but I am one of the (few) Gen-Y'ers that actually had an appreciation for that kind of thing. So long Big Blue Deathstar!
Looks like it will always be a sunny day at my house! And I can look into getting a condo without having to worry about the view. At least this seems like a lot less work than this.
I understand that the whole idea was to make the game more challanging. All I'm saying is that it has taken a character that I've been playing for over a year and made it worthless. I'm basically having to start over in act 1. If I wanted to do that, I would have just created a new character.
I'm sure that no one will agree with me, but I hate HATE the 1.10 patch. I'm not a hardcore gamer; I fire up DII LOD about once a week for a little mind-numbing hack-n-slash with Conan the Barbarian. I understand that they wanted to make the game more challanging, but I feel like I'm playing with a level 10 character; it was too much of a jump for me.
Here's a quick summary as to why my level 50 barbarian that used to take on Diablo in Nightmare (without even using a health potion) is now routinely being killed by uniques in act III.
- The skills balance that worked best for my gameplay style are now worthless. Whatever rebalancing they did totally undervalued the skills that I chose to develop.
- My unique armor sets are now less useful than the regular dropped armor that I see after the patch.
- Items are now so much more expensive to repair. I have to fill my inventory with magic/expensive items to sell just so I can afford to go back to town for a "repair all". It also seems that all of my items' durabilities have been cut at least in half.
That's not all, but that's a pretty good start to making the game less enjoyable for me. I haven't read any other complaints like this in the few forums that I visited, so maybe it's just me. Anyone else unhappy with 1.10?
You'd think so, but when it's a long distance call from the south side of Chicago to the North side, that's short-range long-distance. And ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as having to still dial a "1" to make that call. You'd think the telcos coud get equipment smart enough to know that when I dial 10 digits, it's a long distance call.

To engineers, the Titanic promises a rebirth of the shipping energy. Proponents insist that the vessel's design features make it 'iceberg-proof' and unsinkably safe'."
"Alarm is sent to parents when device is carried outside of prescribed zone." Uh, won't that simply teach children to set the device down before wandering off?
I can just hear my parents:
I wonder why Joe has been hanging around the vicinity of those airport lockers for over a week now?
"...making such movies available on a public "computer network" as a federal felony with a fine of up to $250,000. It would not require that any copyright infringement actually take place."
How about we propose the Consumers' Rights and Theft Prevention Act for, say, companies that leave my credit card or other personal information open on some public server? When ComEd or another company accidentally screws up and posts customer data, what are they liable for? Diddelly-Squat.

And then argue that it's not a cellular phone, but a two-way radio. You'd be tecnically correct.*
*And that's the best kind of correct.

Table Salt? Makes me wonder where they found the 250 million year old saltshaker?

Is the pattern of footprints on my bum, back and the top of my head.
I agree...just ask Burst.com
Palm BOB?
Really! Is he sure about that?

Custom copper cooling head? That's a bong if I've ever seen one.
I think that even stalkers should be able to track their children, too.
Wouldn't this mean that the cuckold should go after the other man's children
Feed the trolls.
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. So I guess it stands for Continental Missile?

I think he meant, "They could have 0WN3D Linux."
Oops...make that rebirth of the shipping industry. D-oh!
Let's just wait and see, shall we?
I propose in the conservatory with the candlestick.
Oh...and when? Just after he's changed his will to leave everything to Anna Nicole Smith and his Shitsu.

I was more interested in the scenes that detailed the surprising romantic relationship between the she-elf and Eowyn.
RROW!
