    I can't stand how jobs keep being reposted or updated or whatever it is they do to them. Ughh... I've even seen major companies (like Unisys) do this.

    And when they say "market" they never seem to mean it. I was interviewed for a company that had in their job description "market/competitive pay". According to various sources (salary.com, that robert half report, etc). According to those sources the "market" pay should have been ~$60-65k.

    So, at the interview it came out that the pay for the position was... $17.50/hour.

    I love how everyone has become constitutional scholars these days. Anyways...

    Unfortunately it's not a cut and dry issue. Ex-CIA chief James Woolsey (appointed by Clinton) believes that the President actually has greater powers than the ones they're asking for. The only thing he believes should be looked at is whether or not a judge needs to be involved once the NSA program starts targetting specific American citizens.

    He said he staunchly believes that Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which establishes the president's role as commander-in-chief and implicit wartime powers, permits the president to do the kind of "electronic mapping of the battlefield" that the NSA program appears to do.

    Ok. So it doesn't have an ad api that's up to snuff. That still doesn't negate my point that, overall, they have the best offering.

    Very true. Their developer APIs are the best of any major offering.

    Check them out here

    Their stated goal is to have startups use their APIs as the foundation for new sites/tech.

  13. Re:My phone did IM 4 weeks ago - once on IM On Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    My Sony Ericsson S710a has a number of IM clients built in including: Yahoo Messenger, AIM, ICQ, and CW(?). And a fifth option named "Future", which is either an IM service/client that I've never heard of, or a spot for future expansion (I think it's the former, because it has a unique icon, not just some generic one).

    Atheist: hmm.. not sure. You know I really don't think there are requirements.

    We say one thing, about freedom or democracy or some other bullshit, and then do the exact opposite.. both domestically and internationally.

    That's where you said it. You stated that the US says they support freedom, but that we actually do the opposite of what we say. Thus, two recent examples that show otherwise. The US's major international actions of the past 5 years are Afghanistan and Iraq.

    And no, the US's hands are by no means clean. I don't recall saying those things.. but if I did and somehow blacked out, please link to it!

    Somewhat flawed in its current state.
    Pig-face - This picture of a french pig-squealing contestant was incorrectly identified in the media as one of the Jyllandsposten cartoons.

    That is incorrect. It was identified as such by the Imams on their little middle east tour. They added 3 much more offensive cartoons from unknown sources, one of which was a modified version of the pig-squealing contestant.

    There also doesn't seem to be mention of how all these middle eastern countries just magically had a huge stockpile of Danish flags to burn during these "spontaneous" (state sponsered) protests.
