My friend's little brother went to Amsterdam last year and while he was out drinking with some buddies, he met this really hot Dutch girl who asked him back to her place.
Long story short, he gets drunk, passes out, and, swear to god, wakes up in a tub full of ice with a kidney gone!
Sadly, it's only for servers and services for Intel, not for AMD.
I understanding being a fanboy of a particular brand and all, but this is ridiculous. Intel still makes some good products, and AMD makes some good products. You may not like the company, but leave that sort of nonsense to the ensuing flamefest in the comment threads;)
The idea of needing to secretly log keystokes on an employee is ludicrous.
If you, as an employer, manager, etc, cannot trust the people below you to do the work you put before them, then why are they your employees?
When it comes to computers at work, I might need to fetch files from home, they'd log my personal passwords, and all other data; that's not only unnecessary, but unfair. I trust them to not snoop my personal data that may be transmitted through a work computer, and they trust me to get my work done.
Some think it the perfect place for a Mars moonbase.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, besides the "shock and awe" of getting to the moon, why isn't there a drive for the practicality of a base on our own moon?
I think it's time that more of our space exploration gets practical, and not HR fodder. "Hey we're technologically superior! We got to mars!"
How about "Hey, we're technologically superior! We have colonized space and use those colonies as jumping points for marsian missions!"
With a one person team, there are no flamewars, no questioning of decisions, no team meetings, no politics; frankly, no bullshit that's often accompanied with open source contributors having differing opinions.
The fellow behind iCab simply has to sit down, design and code. That's it.
A very streamlined process if you know what you're doing.
I work on a project in C all day for the university I attend, and poke around with FreeBSD and packet filter's internals a lot, and I don't even do things like that...
Damn man, that's rough, sounds like you enjoyed your time with her.
Personally, I live with the constant thought of my own mortality, in my humble opinion, one can not truly start living before one truly understands how instable their own mortality is.
If you ever run through texas, ping me, sounds like you'd be an interesting fellow to have a beer with;)
Working a "regular" summer job will not help build interpersonal skills. Period. There is nothing about putting ona a fake smile while running the register or dropping a batch of fries in the deep fat fryer that will build you up as a character.
If you do not have decent interpersonal and social skills by the time you are in trouble all ready. If anything, i'd say "floating" aruond all summer would build better interpersonal skills. Not spending time in front of a deep fat fryer, but roaming around the area you live in, running into new people, taking risks, etc.
And if this kid _really_ wants something to do geek-related over the summer. Open source anybody? I had a meager contract job the summer after my senior year in high school, and just spent the entire summer fiddling around with various *BSDs.
The best opportunities you'll have out of high school you'll come across or even make yourself. (Social networking anybody?)
I am a part-time resident of the Corpus area (college student;)) and I have to say that, this, is retarded.
We're talking about the same city here that has spent a countless number of months/years working on the Crosstown Expressway interchange. The one that closed lanes on the harbor bridge to replace bolts and then didn't cover them with rust-resistant paint to make sure they wouldn't have to do that for a while.
Municipal Wireless is a nice idea, but not if it's is coming before other services that cities more traditionally provide, it should go, safety, water, power, roads, etc....then wireless, or other "goodies"
Slashdot Mirror
Oh dude, no way, that reminds me.
:P

Seriously...
Meet slashvertising :/
Because it was a joke... :-P
Apple
Seriously now.....
Sure, it's plausible, engineers do production work, and scientists do research.
It's fathomable that this fellow does research for Nvidia, i.e. researching new ways to increase performance, etc...
Damn, can you post a summary for the "I don't wanna rtfa because its slashdot" crowd?
:-P
Pretty please?

These are usually recommendations on job sites for resumes that companies most likely will toss out because the guy hiring "knows some guy."
I honestly can say I don't have a certification in any regards, I have experience, and "I know people."
IMHO, 9 times out of 10, knowing somebody will get you farther than another bullet point on a resume

Computers are pretty dumb. Humans are amazingly smart.
:-P
I live in Texas, and..well, beg to differ
Ok, I understand how AMD's clockrates work, a 2.8Ghz chip should be 2.8 times faster than a 1Ghz chip (64-bit not withstandiing)
But are Pentium 4's (XTRAEME!) 3.8 times faster than 1Ghz Pentium chips? Are they even close?
I suppose taking that into account is one of the few ways to have a good idea of which chip is "better."
n00b, I have it on two 3.5" floppies.
bow before my amazing pack-rat-like archival capabilities!

The "consumer" does not win in a class action lawsuit.
The only winners in a class action lawsuit are lawyers.
Period.

Saw that two nights ago (and I'm a 'yank', texan too! [i'm multinational! ;p])
Awesome movie.

Yeah, but you don't get a second interview if you can't spell 'probably' though ;)

that way, when somebody messes something up or does something nasty, i'll know about them and promptly punch them in the face
