>I wish Nintendo would let players *choose* if they want to use the motion sensor, or a controller. I wasted 3 hours trying to beat the *first* boss in Metroid Prime 3. If I had been able to use the standard Gamecube controller as the previous games, it would have been dead in mere minutes.
The problem with Metroid Wii is not the controller. The problem is your failure to locate the One Fucking Pixel that achieves victory or even allows movement in some cases.
No, no. You're mixing up your memes. If it's flying saucer/robot drones, then it's anal probes not vaginal. All the abductees are pretty clear on this point.
I get 3-4 days up time without a recharge; 2-3 days with heavy usage. You probably need a new battery. You can just buy one and swap it out, unlike some others that you mention.
You're quite right, and our job announcements will usually say degree or equivalent experience. Of my six department heads, three have degrees and three don't. If I'm looking for a position where I want someone with three to five years experience, a degree really doesn't enter into it except maybe as a tie breaker... maybe. I'm looking for an application packet that tells me you can do the job.
I'm not sure what I said would lead you to that conclusion. My business is successful, largely because I try to hire people smarter than I am and then get out of their way. I used to use a quote from Aristoi by Walter john Williams as a sig:"The deluded are filled with absolutes. The rest of us have to live with ambiguity."
Also, I'm sure you are aware that Dunning and Kruger were awarded an Ig Nobel for their work.
You're quite right. One of my more successful recent hires is quite shy. I'm looking more for similarity in professional outlook rather than social skills.
Demand on their time. When twenty people apply for a job, you can interview them all. When a hundred apply, you have to start examining CVs. But now, thanks to the internet, it's routine to get thousands of people apply for one job. What is an employer to do? They need some way to streamline the evaluation process. Games are another attempt to solve this problem.
Many still rely on the simplist possible method though: Grab half the pile of applications and throw them straight in the bin, because there just isn't time to read so many.
I never interview 20 people for a vacancy. I never interview more than 5, and I try to keep it to 3. It's simple to narrow down the field of applications. Our typical announcement will say something like,"Submit cover letter, completed application, resume, and three letters of reference before 3 pm Friday, June 25." Somewhere between 40-60% will fail to have all of those, and they go immediately to the reject pile. If I still have a huge pile, the next sort is made on some relevant criterion. We might have said, "College degree in Industrial Hygiene or related field preferred." If it's an entry level position, I cull out those without a degree. Then I read cover letters. Can you communicate clearly in standard, written English. Spelling errors are fatal. If you don't care enough to press F7, you don't care enough to be trusted with our work product. Now I'm down to a manageable group, which I score on a matrix. Usually there will be a clearly defined top group of 2-5, which I interview. The interview is almost all about how the person will fit into our group, because the finalists can pretty much all do the job. If not, we go back through the pole or go out again. I learned long ago that the wrong hire is hugely worse than an empty chair.
>Isn't it enough that I went to college and built a solid base of good work I can point to that shows I can do the job?
That is exactly what I look for when hiring. A couple of relevant references would be nice, and depending on the position, I will give you a test when you come in for an interview.
The photos show the "Cobras" sporting Royal Air Force roundels. Are these also used by the Iranian Air Force out of some love for the British occupation or is it just some sort of Photoshop fail?

Anyone who watch Meg Whitman run for governor should realize by now that she is an abject retard.
But...but... She said in her campaign that we were supposed to vote for her, because she was in business and knew how to create jobs.

Oh come on... This is HP we are talking about. They likely have 30,000 people in the packaging division responsible for the absurd amount of trash every time you buy an HP product.
The trash is actually on the hard disk. The packaging is actually much more easily got rid of.
There are ads on the internet? Who knew. Seriously, even people who don't use ad-blockers don't see the adverts. People have just conditioned themselves to not see them.
What kind of shitty company do you work at that doesn't have WiFi?
Well, the wifi where I work now is over-saturated and doesn't work so well. But that's immaterial because my company doesn't let you hit our network from the wifi, you can only go out to the internet on t.
Ditto, plus we don't allow outgoing mail over wifi.
I'm rather surprised that the TSA doesn't (appear) to have a manual to deal with known issues like insulin pumps, joint prostheses, etc. I wouldn't expect rank and file workers to know the answer to everything but there should be a way to look stuff up.
If they could read a manual or act politely, they would probably have a better job like working at Starbucks.
Agreed. You can also do most of your stuff online and pick them up later. Also, you can download the color profiles of the printers in the specific Costco locations (they vary), so that you can get as fancy as you want with your photo editing software.
Other than some string theorists, I think most physicists are of the opinion that time-space did not exist prior to the Big Bang.
According to string theorists, prior to the Big Bang, the Silly String was in the Big Can. Then it was squirted out forming the universe. One variant of this holds that it was Pasta not Silly String.
Thanks for that article link. It packs a significant amount of clearly written information into four pages. Clearly, Simpson has no future in biological pedagogy.
>About the article, man that thing is a mess. Is it a translation problem, are the journalists who wrote it completely clueless, or are the researchers who discovered this organism extremely out of date with their classification?
In my opinion, the answer to your question is, "Yes."

>I owe that man a great deal more than I've spent on his books.
I agree completely. By the age of fourteen, I had read everything in our public library by the man. He had a tremendous influence on me as I grew up.
The climate is better in Persia and there are a lot fewer Mormons.

I check references before I offer you the job, not before. But I do want to see them.

No, it's an Old English plural noun ending for the weak form (e.g. ox oxen.)

This is most likely retaliation for the way that Canadians are treated coming into the US.
