  1. Get into a tech company on Getting Beyond the Helldesk · · Score: 1

    I don't think a law firm is going to provide the kinds of career growth you're looking for. I highly recommend you get a entry level position in tech support or IT for a firm actually in the tech sector. Depending on the size of the firm and your skill level and potential, you'll have a multitude of opportunities not available at non-tech companies.

  2. HP 12c calculator on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    I think you could use it as a hockey puck in the afternoon and do your taxes with it that evening.

  3. Re:Desktop Tower Defense on What Is Your Game of the Year? · · Score: 1

    +1 by far the best game of the year.

  4. Re:Agile development is changing all this on How Much Do You Value Your Office Space? · · Score: 1

    Super employee no, but it's amazing how a single person can drag down a team and a product if they refuse to communicate. The ability to work in open office spaces is a skill and a valued one at that.

  5. Agile development is changing all this on How Much Do You Value Your Office Space? · · Score: 1

    Team rooms and collabration spaces appear to be the wave of the future. In our last round of hiring we specifically looked for individuals we felt could thrive in these environments. The introverts who like to work in closed door offices are past over regardless of how talented they are.

    The whole is greater than the some of the parts. A team of individuals working closely together will outperform the same number of more talented individual working in isolation. At my company, we have proved this.

  6. No freaking way. on WoW the Next "Golf"? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The movers and shakers in the real world with real money and power don't have hours of spare time to spend on MMORPG games. Maybe peon deals can be cut in such a format, but to compare this with the kind of money that revolves around golf is ridiculous.
