They might have a degree that they want use rather than flipping burgers for the time being. So it happens quite a bit.
Sorry. This is something that really pisses me off. I've held jobs "beneath me" while looking for real work. Does it suck? Yup.
But what it boils down to in my mind is "Should I live off someone else when I don't have to? Or should I go work a job I don't like". To me, the answer is the latter choice.
I have NOTHING against giving someone a hand when they need it. Unemployment is a way to keep folks from losing everything when they lose a job. With today's fluid job market, it is a necessity. Welfare is great for those who truly need it.
But what I hate is... I'd rather you work for me than me get a job I don't want. Guess what? That unemployment check came from folks who have jobs they don't want.
I am involved in the hiring process at my job. Guess what: All other things being equal, I hire the guy with six months at McD's over the guy with six months looking for work. Every time. The first tells me: This guy wants to work. This guy is responsible. Those are the kind of guys I want working around me.
To answer: 1) The point is not editorializing does not equal good jornalism. 2) Learn what the phrase "people who live in glass houses..." means. I am not FOX. I am the one throwing the stone. If I start editorializing in my own news service, then your trite phrase will be applicable.
Actually, if you are getting called 'Panzer Noob', it is because you use it in the wrong situation. Panzers should be saved for when they can clear out a choke point or the main objective on offense. Also, it could mean your aim sucks so bad that you can't even hit anybody with it.
If you get called 'Panzer whore', people just don't like the weapon. Those folks need to get over it.
For something as ethereal as bits on a platter, it hardly seems worth it to pay USD1.00
I will sell you 100 gigabits for only 0.25 cents!
Ofcourse, it will be random 1's and 0's with an occasional Goatse thrown in.
You are not buying bits. You are buying someone's creativity. If you don't think it is worth it DON'T BUY! No one sticks a gun to your head and says "buy it".
Workers don't need vacation! Now get back to work, you lazy oafs. I expect to see some more ground breaking inventions before I get back from the 19th hole.
On another note... could somone find a reason to mod bladx up? I've looked at his posting history. It looks like he's gotten a couple mods with a bug up their butt to mod him down early in his posting history. Now he's stuck with a -1 karma for no good reason.
If you are one of those mods, please use this opportunity to mod me into oblivion instead. Thanks.

(Rant mode off.... for now)
I modded mine by hooking it up to a propane tank. It was the bomb. Literally.
I prefer to watch the toaster. Quite entertaining.
What is TV?
Muchos dankes :)
How much do you think 5 x 0^100 is?
Out of curiosity, what is your native language?
Inner ring and internet.... Please no goatse links..
I never thought I would hear "Slashdot" used in conjunction with communicable diseases :)
Gosh... you read a lot into my statements. I've never stood up for Fox. Please show me one sentence where I have.
I have equal contempt for all the major news organizations.
But, thanks for playing.
Maybe if everyone simultaneously pointed their flashlights at it....

You forgot to mention: When CNN was covering Iraq before the war, they neglected to mention that they were being censored by Hussein's minders.
However, according to the methodology of that study, they were doing a fine job of journalism.
whatever.
I, for one, blame the metric system for the Russian's problems. They need to start using furlongs and hogsheads like the rest of us civuhlized people.
Insurance Agent : 4 million dollars.
No. The insurance agent has to make a profit: $4.1 million.
GHz has no meaning with Quantum computers. Sorry. Visualizing QC in terms on the Pentium in your computer is invalid.

35% of all users are legal. Raises the questions:
What percentage of music is legal?
What percentage of Slashdotters care?
How many posts until RIAA is told to 'suck it'?
(the answer to the last one ain't 42, believe it or not)
Worst. HHGTG. Reference. Ever,
Workers don't need vacation! Now get back to work, you lazy oafs. I expect to see some more ground breaking inventions before I get back from the 19th hole.

Hilarious!
I am proud of Slashdot

I just knew someday, you'd make something of yourself...
Your sarcasm detector is still broken.
