Mine ends at the end of the Month, go 2005! this year is off to a great start... really ya know job loss at the beginning really ramps up the positive notes for the year.
Heh I was cheap on the gifts with my ex-fioncee (i called it off)... it was the day to day expenses she killed me on...
"oh honey i got some great deals out shopping tonight..." "how much did you spend?" "... just look how much stuff I got for great prices.." "how much???" "only a $1,000 but I need you to come back with me they say I maxed out the visa, so wheres the mastercard?"
The last spending trip was the last straw, next thing bought for her was a bus ticket to Canada where her mom was. The ring was less expensive then her average week of spending, heh left me with $7k in credit card debt... and I vowed to never have a blood sucker again. Sell house for profit, clear up all debt... back to square 1 where I started 2.5 years prior money wise thanks to that... damn it.
Rodney King got what he deserved, matter of fact they were too lenient on that coke up psycho path poster-child of modern bullshit hatred towards cops.
Ground worker #4: That'll teach them what to do with that flight school edumacation... fly bitches fly... budweiser anyone? Ground worker #5: I'm taking bets that this makes the news tonight... good thing we put a Catholic priest onboard instead of a school teacher this time... much less bad press

I racked about $5k up in medical bills this year, first year i needed insurance and didnt' have it but the pay difference made it worth it.
All the other place gave me was decent medical, no dental / vision or retirement.
And I'm a young single generally healthy male so insurance is cheap if i choose to get it.
I can see how it'd be tougher once u have a family.

The answer was f'scking retarded.
5 pirates, need 2 ppl to vote for you.
Only fair rational solution is: equally bribe 2 ppl
So you take a 1/3rd each of the top 3 and f' over the bottom 2. Short and simple conversation done quickly.
I'd never let someone else get 99 or 98% of the pie to get my vote for 1 coin.
As surely any man who will pay 1 coin for a vote will pay 5 or more to see that he doesn't die.

I really don't get this 9+ interviews to get the job thing.
At the 3rd round I'm fairly assertive in putting my foot down at the decision being made.
Last full-time salary job I had, it was 3 rounds: * phone * in person with tech/day-to-day * owner - annoying meeting
I walked out of the meeting with the owner, and asked my manager "do I have to work with him every day?" "no" "I'll take the job."
Have you ever been in an interview and been offended soo badly by the interviewer that you almost felt like quitting before getting hired?
The owner of this company had a very very cold calculated attitude to him that was just plain rude. He was the type to read down ur resume and make annoying little notes on it while not making eye contact or showing much engagement with you as a person. Then he tosses out a ridiculously low low-ball number thats basically an insult and much less then the manager before you offers.
I maxed out my managers budget to get hired:) It pissed off the owner and he actually had kind of a grudge against me from day 1 for being young and demanding what he thought was a lot of money. I left there in february for an $8k/yr raise, then left that firm for a further $10k/yr raise. So considering I was under paid $18k/yr, mind you I don't have benefits now but those benefits were not worth $18k/yr by any means.
20tons in a nice well built road can cook at 100mph+ without incident.
Not all countries feel their citizens are inept like the USA. Germany knew how to build a well built highway back in WW2, just ask the Americans who used it when occupying the place:)
A 100hp 4-cyl car could still do 85 without a problem just takes longer to get to speed.
Not all lanes will be doing maximum but the high speed would be appropriate to have a minimum speed set to the max of the lanes below it and so forth.
So a 70 and under area for ppl with bad cars / merging, and a 70+ unlimited for longer haul / commute.
As long as truckers are in a seperate set of lanes I see no reason for them to have a speed limit, they're higher skilled drivers in general and better trained. The road is their office, not their toy like most people.
I didn't think anyone would spend $100k on an education in CS anymore at a college.
Spend your time learning some of the Indian dialects, Japanese, Chinese, and business. You can learn to code from a book, but learning the nuances of the future overlords of IT is much more time consuming.
Seriously though, basing your career on your college education is a waste. You're not a lawyer, in 10 years it won't matter where you went, it'll merely be "can you wipe your own ass? check. have a bs degree? check. can you write your own name? check. can you spell it correctly? maybe."
I've got 5 years experiences where my friends got degrees, right now I earn about 20k/yr more then they do and spent $100k less getting here. Moral of the story, in the short run no degree is better, long run it may pan out to be worth it's while but I'll be retired before that time.
This is where I've come to disagreement with many employers and why I've gone back to hourly.
A salary to me, is set at the expectation of 40hours per week, and being available for exceptions requiring longer amounts of time when applicable.
After 2 months as a salaried employee at a local company, I was told I was to work 45hours/wk minimum, and do overtime when necessary. I asked what the pay increase was, they said none, I said no. Amazingly I stayed there for another year, disgruntling them as I still wouldn't do a 45 hour work day, matter of fact I cut my days shorter as to being peeved.
Waged employee is much better for the wallet & freedom aspects, only place it fails is times like this year when I've been off and on sick & injured for several months and no health benefits or paid time off or paid holidays, so I've had to work while having mono, mass dental work, and physical therapy for my shoulder, all coming straight out of my pocket. So this year I'd have been better to stay at the crappy paying salaried job, mind you this is first time in 3 years I've needed a doc or a dentist, so it's a crap shoot.
MySQL is under constant development and I've used oracle's garbage command line interfaces. MySQL is very clean on the command line and perfectly usable for daily usage, PostgreSQL felt old and kludgey kinda like Oracle. Simple tasks were made difficult.
Oracle is stable, Oracle is pricey & bloated for 98% of the apps out there.
MySQL requires due diligence to make sure you don't do dumb things like violate the invisible constraints but thats a requirement of developers not being morons. However it makes backups and reloading tables a breeze, admin is easy as pie. Speed is great.
Someone actually likes PostGres? I'm sorry... my sympathy goes with you.
I've had to use: * Oracle * SQL Server 2k * PostgreSQL * MySQL
All in production environments, and anything less then enterprise MySQL is by far the best, and certainly has the best command line interface of them all.
MySQL is still king of the free databases. PostgreSQL is coolish and all but a pain to work with and just feels plain sloppy, MySQL is cutting edge and moving to better things all the time, are there any PostgreSQL developers still alive?
I'm in Cincinnati as well, born and raised here though. This town has IT, but it only has a handful of good IT people, you're competing against morons here that bring the standards down. Only other big obstacle here is companies don't know how much IT costs, here they think a website should cost $250 at most.
Decent amount of work here, I run a company on the side doing Web Design/Dev/Hosting & Colocation, hit me up if you're good and work for a fair rate, we usually got somethin going on.

You're a total troll whore for that game rankings site, you sponsored by them or something?
Annoying as hell, every other post you make is "nooo look at game rankings"... "that site X doesn't matter cause game rankings is better..."
Mutant League football rocked!!!!!

My favorite game of all time from the Sega Genesis... ahh those were the days
The hocky one sucked in comparison, football worked better. Some how I always won by killing the other team
F'scking trolls....
You sounded intelligent to start but wow you went to moron status quick. Time to add you to the lame filter, thanks for playing, but buh bye...
Apple Pro Keyboard has a USB hub in it, with 2 usb ports on it.
So plug keyboard in 1 port on back, mouse in 1 plug on keyboard, still 2 spots left open.

Maybe this is just a rich kid's idea of a homework assignment?
I wholeheartedly agree, you rock!
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Not built for 85mph?
Hrmm yeah I don't even buy tires rated at less then 120mph so yeah the tires are fine.
I buy a lot of german built cars... oh wait no they'll run at 120+ mph all day long with 0 problems.
Japenese cars do fairly well on the higher end, and 85 is no stress.
American cars... yeah well we build for the 1/4mi cause of our retarded speed limits but they can still do 85 sustained with 0 problems.
85 is not fast
185 is fast
Most cars can sustain 110mph without much issue.
An unlimited speed lane would be an awesome idea.
Trucks having their own lane should be allowed to go as fast as they desire to get goods deliviered on time.
After bush spent it all.
Revenue for the state please.
We need more tax revenue and less spending... wheres the 50% tax on Iraqi oil to repay our invasion costs???
but we're masters of irony :)
we hate low skilled jobs and produce low skilled people only capable to fill them
oh the joy of irony
i bet you write tax software....
;)
come on admit it
We paid to build the UN so f' em.
Who puts in most of the troops and equipment?
The UN was meant to be a puppet, now they're getting pissy and acting like they're somebody... screw em.

What do you code in? Email me a resume, might be able to get you some sub-contract work.
