All the game sites weight all the customers reviews the same, even the ones that say (PERFECT 10 - TEH PREVU LOOKS GR8 BUT NEVAR PLAYD IT). We need video game review moderation, so people can skip to the +5 insightful reviews before dropping $50.
Mr. Bellin and Dr. Palmer's premise is shared by others who study computer games: games are credible objects of intellectual inquiry
I supposed the learned doctors have never played counterstrike with a ratpack of 13 year olds. 'Intellectual' is NOT the operative word to describe the experience.
Make it fail: Do it again, start at the beginning, stimulate the failure, don't simulate the failure, find the uncontrolled condition that makes it intermittent, record everything and find the signature of intermittent bugs, don't trust statistics too much, know that "that" can happen
Isolate the key factor, grab the brass bar with both hands (understand what's wrong before fixing), change one test at a time, compare it with a good one, and determine what you changed since the last time it worked.
I bought a first generation Xbox ($300) just so I could play Nightcaster.
I should get an award for pain and suffering, in addition to my $350 being refunded.

good luck! just keep careful track of your billable/profitable hours, and ask for a 'performance review' every quarter or so. Ask what you can do/learn, in addition to what you already do, to make your 50-60k.
maybe ask for a performance bonus for meeting certain predefined milestones?

FYI, you should make 3.5 times your annual salary in a body business (engineering, consulting, or the equivalent), to be a profitable employee. If you are currently bringing in a higher multiple, then you should get a raise. A lower multiple, and you are probably just out of luck.
Make sure you take credit for what you do, and people know your value to the organization.
There are 2 kinds of GPS equipment - mapping grade and survey grade. Survey grade has accuracy down to about 1cm, and mapping grade is generally in the range of 1-10 meter accuracy.
This thing is mapping grade, but of dubious quality. The world leader (also in New Zealand), is Trimble. They will run you about 6k for a submeter accurate unit, that is rugged and comes with a good warranty.

I have thought the same thing about game reviews.

Um, experimental treatments to deny military personnel their basic needs would not be a good recruiting tool.
Instead, they should spend their research money building these.
THAT would make me want to join the army!
according to their last sec filing, they had 300 million in debt and about 5 billion cash.

It sucks that it's like this, but Ebay has alot more resources to devote to fighting frivolous lawsuits. Lawyers are expensive.
