Have you ever been suprised when some celebrity turms up on television movies and you go 'isn't he dead'?... Well someone's just been messing with the spacetime continuum.
The downside of this is that if the project is estimated poorly, the worker will get paid less. Let's say the project goves over by 50%. The worker's paid a bit more than $5560 because his minimum wage pay goes up. But his bonus goes down. I'm too lazy to do a detailed calculation, but he's down to about $46 an hour.
my former employer would rant and rave that if a project went over hours, he lost money.
no he didn't - you still make however many thousand dollars, your profit may be down, but you still made all of the money
How ungeeky am I that after all these years it finally occured to me that 255 coins is an 8-bit unsigned int? It always seemed like a wierd number to me growing up, but now that I'm a geek, I see the truth:)
REN: Now, listen, Cadet. I've got a JOB for you. See this button? (Stimpy reaches for the button) DON'T TOUCH IT! It's the HISTORY ERASER button, you FOOL!
STIMPY: So what'll happen?
REN: That's just IT! We don't KNOW! Maayyybeee something bad?...Mayyybeee something good! I guess we'll never know! 'Cause you're going to guard it! You won't TOUCH it, will you?
(Stimpy salutes. Ren leaves.)
REN: Hehhh...hehhhh...hehhhh...hehhhh...
(Stimpy marches back and forth, starting at the button.)
ANNOUNCER: Oh, how long can trusty Cadet Stimpy hold out? How can he possibly resist the diabolical urge to push the button that could erase his very existence? Will his tortured mind give in to its uncontrollable desires?
(Announcer grabs Stimpy, forces him closer to the button.) Can he resist the temptation to push the button that, even now, beckons him even closer? Will he succumb to the maddening urge to eradicate history? At the MERE...PUSH...of a SINGLE...BUTTON! The beeyootiful SHINY button! The jolly CANDY-LIKE button! Will he hold out, folks? CAN he hold out?
STIMPY: NO I CAN'T!!!EEEEEYAAAHHHH! (pushes button)

Come on, give us geeks some credit for knowing who some of the big-guys are.
Especially when the last 4-5 songs all segue into each other (You Never Give Me Your Money->Your Majesty, ditto side 2 of Dark Side of the Moon). I hate hearing anything form DSOTM on my local "classic rock" station, because it just feels wrong when the song ends, and the next doesn't immediately start. They usually don't even fade out, so it just stops. At least they usually play Brain Damage and Eclipse together.
