Why not just let him do it for you? Buy shares of berkshire-hathaway. Which I believe is the holding company where the money comes from that he invests.
Then again I have never bought a stock in my life.... I'm only 20
Hey, I go to UT in Austin and that is probably the main reason you cant find an internship since there are so many more just as, if not more so qualified applicants graduating out of there or intern/co-op ing from there.
Anyways I was pretty much hired at Sun Micro this spring except they instituted a hiring freeze company wide. I waas lucky to get a job with a place I interned with in High School in San Antonio. I went to one of the few high schools that have an active internship program. But there were a few things I did for extra money (just nice spending money nothing to live on) I got a regular job at the apt leasing office, which then turned into an on call tech support job after i left. I also used my connections there to get my flier in the move-in packet about the computer services I provide(networking, building comps, virus removal, etc...)got probably 20 satisfied customers out of that without even searching them out very much. I suggest you do the same for your neighborhood. Just look up bestbuy's price list (I think you might need to call to get it) and just divide everything in half. It's great to be able to say "I charge half of what you would pay with bestbuy"
Now on your resume you can put a whole slew of things including running that business, and all the different technical IT type things you did. It might impress some employers it might not, but its computer job experience and thats soemthign that looks good even to non tech companies. You would be surprised how most companies deal with computer problems, they just deal with it till the computer becomes un useable. If you can find some small businesses to help out, get interviews with them either for the tech position or a normal position. Once you are in you can show off your abilities with computers and then offer to take that on full time.
Also there are plenty of entry-level positions at non-burger flipping companies, get one like that and make a good impression on your boss and you now have a solid reference to list. Which is much better than listing teachers and family friends.
actualyl its best if they dont, they should be thinking only about end result not implimentation, if programmers designed everything we would never go anywhere because we would rule out all the hard stuff first.
thats why I think slashdot should have a seperate moderation for right/wrong that has no effect on the score but simply shows the percent of respondents who believe the post is correct or incorrect

Is that true, I dont understand how business can choose which form of legal tender to accept. It makes me mad when I see things like "no bills over $20"
It should be (I wish) that if you do business in the US you have to accept all forms of Legal US tender (cash and coin)
The results are below, First, is a website about tigers being endangered. Second, is TigerDirect the company that owns the trademark "Tiger" in relation to computers. Third is the Mac OS "Tiger". Fourth is a rescue facility for large cats. Fifth is some UK goverment program titled Tiger.
So I call you an idiot.

After that I stopped and gave the NP to a friend

command line or full gui ala gnome or KDE not one of the light weight window managers with half the features.
I remember timing my computer to turn on in 45 seconds if I included restarting it would take a 1-1.5 min I would guess

And I love amd, I suspect AMD will still always have the best price/performance ratio which is why I go with them anyways.
wow, 3 MHz! Watch their stock price go through the roof!!!!

well they almost are fixed. changing the res from the native will cause the monitor to interpolate. Which tends to look rather crappy.
actualyl its best if they dont, they should be thinking only about end result not implimentation, if programmers designed everything we would never go anywhere because we would rule out all the hard stuff first.
They didnt go into detail on how they are going to transform it.
Are they just going to toss it into a TDP plant (think turkey guts article from a while back) or some other technology specific to algea?
wow thanks for the heads up, luckily those are really shitty passwords, and mine are atleast alittle better than that.
so I'm not on the list.

more like you saw a random filing cabinet marked "stanford" in the middle of the street, with files falling out of it.
have you read shakespear? there's tons and tons of 16th century slang. "accessible language to the pit viewers"
also are there stats on the mod up to mod down ratios? I know tend to mod up much more than down
unless of course more than one person lands on the avg. score, then some fraction is less than avg,
and given 1 large enough stat say averaging the scores of student A 50, student b 53, student c 57, and student d 100 more than half is below the avg.
student a 0
student b 100
student c 100
student d 100
produces only 1 person below avg.
everyone in Texas that I know and New Jersey (no many just family) calls them kleenex
I would call those hexits.
