    If you need some innovative R&D and designing stuff like algorithms or optimization routines, hire Russians.


    A colleague tried that. They got all drunk on vodka and made some program with colored blocks. I think it was called Tetris.

    Well, after you've gotten into Linux on your Linksys router, when you have the source there's things you can make the hardware do that the original designers did not think of.

  15. Re:Reason? SPEED on Live CD for PC Games? · · Score: 1


    I hated the PSX because of the LOADING... screens. You lose the fast-paced action of games when you don't have fast access to the media, like a cartridge.

  19. This is how GTA is too on Elite Creator On Attracting Mainstream Gamers · · Score: 1


    "In Elite, we made shooting another space craft illegal, so the player had to think before opening fire."

    Works that way in GTA too, you shoot someone, you get arrested.

    You've gotta be somewhat covert.

  24. Can't you have someone else clock you in? on Are You On Time To Work? · · Score: 2, Informative


    You could have a buddy clock you in or something.

    Many guys at factory jobs clock in/out for other guys and people just leave the site.

    I worked at Johnson Controls, making car interiors. Sure, factory job, but you've gotta clock in on time or else. You'd get fired and they'd find someone else with a pulse to take your job.

    At Best Buy you had to have a manager punch you in/out if you weren't within 7 minutes of your scheduled time. This way they can control hours down to the minute.

    At Applebee's they have what's called "Apple Time". You were supposed to show up 5 or 15 minutes before your shift and get ready for the day. They'd even pay you the extra hour or whatever you would be there during the week by getting there early.

    I worked for a mom+pop network shop, and we were all salaried. The problem was, the cunt that worked up front would record what time we all came in and would email them all to the boss.

    Bob - 8:01, Marc - 8:14, Ray - 7:55, John - 8:20

    Quote: "Does anyone know how to go 130 kph when the speed limit is 100? I mean, people keep giving me tickets. Can't something be done about this? Really, the rules should be changed.
    "

    How about when you get a god damn ticket for going 73 in a 70...That's more comparable to 1 minute late.

    By saying you should get docked for one minute late is like saying you should get a ticket for 1 mph/kph over the speed limit.
