Those folks can't really comprehend long distance driving and how necessary it is.
Folks around major metros measure road trips in time, not miles.
As I type, I'm about 80 miles from the University of Illinois Urbana campus, and 2 hours from Chicago's O'hare airport. Congestion makes distance immaterial to the situation. At midnight I'm still 80 miles from the university, but only 50 minutes from the airport.
Same boat. Though mine is quite amusing. A comely young woman used my email address to join a number of dating sites. The resulting mail is often quite hilarious.
Taylor, if you're out there, just know that the NSA, Google, and now me, know all about your wild side.
I tried to mold my daughter into a 'tomboy'. I taught her to shoot a rifle; now she wants a pink one of her own. I even gave here two older brothers to really ramp up the pressure.
I'm in tech, her oldest brother is going to be a Chem E soon, and the middle guy tears apart anything with an engine.
Despite all that she is unabashedly, unapologetically a girly girl. My daughter wants to be a veterinarian and you can't get much more feminine than kittens and puppys.
It's like she was programmed before birth to be !boy. Freakin weird.
If you show up at McDonalds asking for a job and the most recent experience on your resume is a 150K job with the government, the Pimply Faced Youth doing the hiring is going to gloss right over.
Let's say the Mr. Whistle does get by the the initial screening and becomes a serious candidate. As the company is doing due diligence like reference checks and background checks, it is very easy to tank someone's chances. I'm not talking about nefarious shadow men showing up making dire innuendo. The 'secret' question to ask when checking references is "Would you hire this person again?". If the answer is no, you are black flagged at the vast majority of places.
It sure as hell does not help to google a candidate's name and the top 600 hits are news stories about looming indictments and comment vitriol both for and against.
I was taught that the phrase 'indian giver' referred to whitey breaking agreements with Indians, not the other way around.
Heck, look at the equity of the bargaining positions: Pick one, Genocide, or subsistence living on crap we wouldn't even graze goats on. Who knew that all that ground would be perfect to put casinos on?
As a person of mixed American heritage, I often have issues with determining when to self loathe and when to bask in martyrdom.
I'm not denying that voters can be stupid, but I'm fairly sure none of the sitting board members during this fiasco campaigned on a platform of "let me watch your children in their bedrooms".
You should know that the title insurance required by the mortgage lender is to protect the _lender_, not you. An additional title policy for the buyer is very often overlooked. Unless, of course, local insurance regs say it does; in which case, never mind.:)
People need to learn that typing random stuff on your facebook page amounts to public confession, and will lead the authorities to your door for a lot of crap you thought you'd get away with.
Don't soft pedal it; posting on Facebook IS a public confession. I can't think of a more public confession outside of renting the Goodyear blimp on Super Bowl Sunday.

Correct. Duty is bought; loyalty is earned.
Though, I would never do anything to bring harm to the data.
Time lawyer up.
Is that who you call when you feel Dr. Who screwed you over? :)

Pfft!

Just quit emailing, IMing, phoning, txting, and calling impromptu meetings and my productivity will skyrocket.
And now /. has given me a chance to vent on my late lunch. :)
Slackware distribution. Drop the mic.
So... my overtime pay should be more, but taxed at a flat rate of 50%?
I am not in your voting block. :)
Somewhere a moose needs to be sacked.
This whole thread is just too funny.
Every accident which has been my fault has happened while I was stone sober
Every? Implying a lot? I think you need to recuse yourself as an expert on driving in this thread.

Ancient Worms May Have Saved Life On Earth ...from threadfall?
Mod parent up. This does happen.
I've been in several sysadmin consulting situations disguised as interviews with mid size businesses.
Self check out != self pay. :) Just thought I'd point that out.
Yea, sure, but basic application use? Applications that are nominally designed to be intuitive?
There's training wheels, and then there's wheelchairs. The beef here is in the second camp.

Do you really expect "Sal" at the yard to recognize a pendulum from a century old clock?
NC has a state income tax of something like 6-8%. I'll look somewhere else, thanks.
On a totally unrelated note, the Asheville area is gorgeous.
I wonder why that has never been addressed before.
Because our ancestors found that all you really need for civilized society are the ten laws of God inscribed on a rock.
Things get more complicated with an overcrowded technological society, I guess.

You are assuming that pay raises everywhere follow the calendar year. Almost every place I have worked at has adjusted pay based on their fiscal year.
And no that's not a part of the US.
No way, dude! U. S. Americans is everywhere

I think you missed the news about Novell looking to break itself up into pieces.
