The respected outplacement firm Lee Hecht Harrison recommends years only, not to cover up gaps, but because it makes for a cleaner resume. Their resume format has been featured in the WSJ and it got me more interviews than my previous resume.
"The fact that they are lying is really not a relevant point."
It IS the relevant point. Lying is lying and there is no justification for it. Sue the fuckers into oblivion, or make a mass exodus from the liars, and then they won't have any customers.
...why would I feel guilty. I can do almost anything I can do with Linux with the additional benefit of apps like iTunes. I've never had a problem using closed source software, I just have a problem with crappy closed source software.
"The great-grandparent poster complained that his experiences have "led me to believe that spending a great deal of time on each application/resume/cover letter I send out for Yet Another Job Opening would consume an amount of time equivelent to a full-time job". Well, yes. Finding a job is a job!"
Discussing this subject with then fellow unemployed folks I am amazed at how many people don't treat it as a full-time job. It takes time and effort to find the right job.
I lean towards targetted search, getting contacts at the companies I'm targetting, and tailoring my approach for these companies. In my experience I don't think resume blasting is very effective at all.
I ended up getting my current job through my former co-workers, so I can't emphasize enough staying in touch with people at old jobs.
I agree with you about #2. And doesn't keeping the trash in one place follow the normal Apple UI guidelines of having basic functions in one place so you're not hunting around for it?
I really, really wish there were features like this in OS X. I have no doubt about how good WindowShade is but I'm loath to add little apps like this to fix a GUI. I try to keep my OS as clean as possible by just installing apps that serve a purpose other than modifying default OS actions.
...wake my dorm neighbor. His alarm was so fucking loud it would wake up everyone in the dorm except for him. We thought he was dead. Every morning! All at the same time we would pound on his windows and doors, call his phones, yell, and blare an air horn. Two hours later he would still be asleep.
...75,000 stories out of our content management system. The content management system for the websites of 13 TV stations. 13 big TV stations.
I guess I have should have double-checked my query. What's that rule of thumb? Measure twice, cut once. I should have remembered that one. The restore took quite some time.
Yep, I carry around a laptop with the Nero install files on it. If the other machine is networkable installing Nero always fixes the problem created by Easy CD Creator.

If he wasn't driving why would he care about "red lights"? I see people using their PDAs while driving all the time.
OS X sucks less.
To top it off it appears to just be a typo rather than a blatant mispelling.
I have NEVER heard that definition of auditing. Every school I've been to auditing means attending class without taking tests and doing assignments.
There's plenty of open-source pr0n on Usenet.

I think you replied to the wrong person. I know Apple's Xserve. I was just commenting that servers aren't limited to rack mounts.
That's an awfully limiting definition of a server.
All you need is a piece of paper with a decent pattern. And there are plenty of sample tiffs on the 'net.
The point is, I value simplicity and a clean desktop. These are the reasons I never ran Gnome or KDE on my previous desktops.

I came to OS X from Solaris, and Linux before that. I'd used Windomaker for ages so am completely happy with the Dock.

Didn't you just have to type Go at the OpenBoot prompt? Or was OpenBoot much different back then?

I should have posted this anonymously, heh heh.
Cool, I thought it might be. I'll be picking up 10.3 soon. Thanks.
Mine doesn't. Or am I missing something? I always go back into Preferences to show images on emails I deem ok. This is with 10.2.8.
Please excuse my very poor reading comprehension. I missed more than just the million.
Multiply IBM's and MSFT's by 1000 and you'll be a lot closer.
I think you're a little naive about what that 1/3 means.
