That is, when his meds were working. He would check himself into the local mental hospital for weeks at time, during which he was truly unavailable. They kept him around because they couldn't afford to hire real programmers.
Dang, what company was that?
Are they hiring by any chance?
Sweet! Meds and weeks of bed rest. Were the nurses at the mental hospital hot?
*shrug* It's science fantasy. It's like when Dawkins criticized X-File for always having the paranormal answer. Well, gee, Richard, I guess that's what Fox didn't sell it as a science fact show.
Oh, c'mon. Fringe is fun, silly fluff. Walter (Peter's crazy dad) is one of the best characters to come along in a while. People need to lighten up. You read message boards about genre shows, and everyone is so *serious* about it all, and act like they have been personally insulted if something doesn't appeal to them.
creepy low-rent show about mind-wiped prostitutes
You say that like it's a bad thing.;-) I haven't watched it yet, so I can't say.
They only way out of this is education, and education costs money.
All well and good. The problem, especially here in California, is that certain people just want to throw more money at a clearly broken system. The teacher's union won't even allow merit based pay (what Obama suggested this week). Do you know how hard it is to fire a bad teacher? Do you have any idea how many useless administrators there are? But so many people think this is all well and good and just want to tip another barrel of billions into the same sink hole. It's a definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, and yet that insanity is perpetrated on a daily basis by the politicians (and those who love them), and it's all just accepted as normal. Those of us who remain independent and apart from the major parties are left scratching our heads and wondering how we got born into such a batshit insane world.
Some of us just want the system to be looked at and tinkered with before we spend more money. It that *really* such an unreasonable request? What we are doing now ---IS NOT WORKING---.
Chuck them at people's heads. Especially the hard drives. Especially if the head belongs to a politician.
Old USB drives are good for archiving paperwork because it compresses well. Oh, wait, that was actually practical and I was trying to me silly and dumb. Never mind.
Ain't that the truth. Having finally taken the HD plunge late last year, I needed a couple HDMI cables. Best Buy's cheapest cable was $50, and some stupid Monster cables that ran up over $100 (it is now possible to buy a cable that costs more than the component you connect it to). Amazon had an HDMI cable for $2. Yeah, $2. And they work perfectly. I bought four more on my next amazon order just to have some for future needs.
Old school: Go undercover/hit the streets to round up prostitutes. New school: Login in to www.craiglisst.com from the comfort of the squad room, set up a date, make arrest. Rinse, repeat.
Better School: Expend police resources on *real* crimes instead.
*shrug* No one I voted for is in there. We also have a massive gerrymandering problem and elections that are fully owned by developers and government unions. I honestly can't think of a fix outside of armed insurrection.
Hey, someone spiking the Sacramento water supply with some sort of neurochemically debilitating substance is NOT something we have ruled out at this point.:-)

For that price they should *include* the well trained monkeys.
Maybe the monkeys unionized?
I dunno. Can "we're the most expensive ever!" really be called an ad?

Lead an armed insurrection against your boss, and leave his head on a pike in the lobby as a warning to others.
Without a rhinestone option, this thing is a no go in the South.

Hmm hmm hmm. I'm sorry, what?
I think it means CmdrTaco is off his meds again.
I didn't even notice it was Taco. Nah, no meds required there. He's hear he's like this naturally.
it's probably time to put some ramen on your Visa and start making stuff up for your LinkedIn page. Because, this is what your new Elvis looks like
Right! Wait. What?
That would be an awesome T-shirt. "Bobby Fischer called me a dirty Jew"
Obviously I am not in the market for one of these netbooks
Why is that obvious?

I am an engineer. A good one. You comment is EXACTLY what I mean about people taking it too seriously. It's science fantasy.

No, as opposed to the ones that don't implement the rear view at all, and generally it's games where you don't really need it.

Many console games I have played, when you click one of the control sticks, instantly show you the rear view.

Saying that Apple "gave birth" to WebKit is stretching the truth. It implies that they created it from scratch,
Well, no, actually, saying "gave birth" does, in fact, imply that they got some of the original generic seed from another source.

Man, it's almost as bad as the gaming industry. Nothing but sequels.
What good is a pony if you cannot ride her?
The same can be said for prostitutes.
Aaaaaand we come full circle. So to speak.

When Democrats do it it is good.
Same with enemy lists as well, it seems. I expect Jim Cramer to be disappeared any day now.
