No, that is exactly what they are. They greet customers walking in, tag bags of people coming in with returns and sometimes check receipts on the way out.
Hey I understand your frustation, but why didn't you post a link to this in your comment? Lots of people just read your comment and didn't get anything useful out of it.
You mean like we did after the Khobar tower bombings, the Kenya Embassy bombings, the USS Cole Bombing, and the downing of Black Hawks in Somalia? Every time we did not effectively respond to this terrorist group made them think that America was a paper tiger and further emboldened them.
I interviewed with them and from what i could tell they are seriously screwed up. Apparently while I was in the air flying out there (on the reservations _THEY_ made), they called my apartment leaving a message trying to cancel.
I show up to the hotel and there is no reservation for me, so I'm forced to pay $200 out of pocket (not cheap for a college student). After the interview, there was a series of hijinx which I will not go into here. I had to send them a reminder e-mail to reimburse me for the hotel room. Then several months later I get a note from one of their financial departments asking me to fill out a survey so they could better get to know their "suppliers".
They were so screwed up they somehow thought I was a contractor or other service provider. How can a company not even know where and why their money is going? This incident, combined with some of the recent news doesn't give me a lot of hope for that company.
Let's see, Orkut privacy violations, accusations that Orkut is stolen IP, "forgetting" they gave 28 million shares to employees and contractors, apparently violating SEC quiet registration period, "forgetting" to trademark Gmail, and so on.
I used to love Google like every other techie, but I've been seriously disillusioned. It won't take much for me to switch my preferences to another engine.
"Before, Linux was this cloud we didn't get, now it is Red Hat, Novell, IBM. We know how to compete with companies. I was high-fiving everyone I could find when Novell bought [German Linux distributor] SuSe. We already won once against Novell."
I think I'm going to run around high-fiving everyone here, because to me this shows they still don't get it. You can kill SuSE, you can kill Novell, IBM, and Red Hat and you still wouldn't kill Linux.
Microsoft, if you are reading this, you screwed me over once with OS/2. There is no way you will ever take Linux away from me.:)

Sup?

Generally older folks have this job at Walmart.
Where did you meet "online" 25 years ago? I'm very curious. Thanks.
I am now cheering on your demise Sun.
Agreed.
Is Microsoft paying you to whore this device? How about some stories on MythTV or something. Go back to your roots /.
This is getting tired.
Microsoft at least got some things right in SP2. Personally I usually run Linux. If you don't like it stop fucking whining and install Linux.
What does this have to do with nerds? Can you run Linux on it?
Smoking crack is good kids.

There has been lots of press that Al Qaeda probably trained the people who shot down the helicopters with RPGs.

But I guess you believe in peace in our time...
I meant it as sort of a "zany" screwup. Of course, because it happened to me I didn't find it very funny, but a year later I do find some humor in it.
Well my current employer seems to have solved this problem, and the hijinx that I did not go into directly involves upper management.

You're just sad that I karma whore better than you do.
Sheesh.

The blurb doesn't explain what a beowulf cluster is, but explains what the origin of the name is. Are slashdot readers that ignorant?

Re: your sig. You fuck off.
The NSA is prevented from spying in America or on American citizens. This is quite different than the Chinese government.
