Going from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 was a major stepping stone. When are we going to see another jump like that, where you are left looking back at the old GUI asking "How did I ever work with that?"
For the last 10 years (and by the looks of Longhorn previews the previews we have at least 5 more) we've had the exact same GUI with some eye candy thrown in. I know there is something to be said for usability and familiarity but there has to be something better.
Now I just need to get a metal spiked speedo and a hockey mask and a little gay guy with a mohawk to announce my arrival and i'll be all set for the upcoming apocolypse!

You sound bitter that those enlargement pills didn't work:P
Unfortunatly without ATM fees you'd be hard pressed to find a ATM anywhere except a bank. The "Mom and Pop" ATMs you see around are there to make a profit from the ATM fees.
I like to use a [MY AREA CODE] 911-1234 number, when they're telemarketing auto dialer dials i can imagine the fun the telemarketer on the line has when the call goes live.
Signed me up for Sports Illustrated on one visit and Entertainment Weekly on another, when I've always declined the (annoying) offer. Called SI and EW and was told that I'd signed up at Best Buy.... The service representative also told me that he gets several calls like that a day and it is not an isolated incident.
Bought my girlfriend a computer there and told the salesmen four times I had cable and didn't need MSN. Next month It appeared on my charge card. Called MSN and they said I signed up at Best Buy.... The service representative also told me that he gets several calls like that a day and it is not an isolated incident.
See a reoccurring theme here?
Called Best Buy customer service and was told that I'd have to call the individual companies to cancel the service (no sorry, no oops it was a mistake) and that there would be no harm - no foul.. I pointed out that had I not discovered it I could be out several hundred dollars. The prick had the balls to tell me it was my fault and he didn't really care if the sales people were signing me up because it was part of their job!
Needless to say I haven't been back to Best Buy in several months.
Its acctualy a good thing we get them last. For the most part cellphones are bug ridden POS's when they first hit the market and since most cell phone producers make it hard to flash the firmware in the US (compared to the rest of the world where you can walk into a service center and have it done!) it really is a good thing. Ive worked in the cellular telecom industry for many years and usually picked up the latest and greatest as soon as it hit the employee rec site, even then they sometimes had problems.

He should offer to sell Hasbro the domain for some ungodly sum of money and offer to include the source for free. No fuss no muss.

Slashdot once again proving that it's cutting edge.
I'd do two things...
1. Don't list the months you worked.. do it by year, they are unlikely to dig into it.
2001-2003 ABC CO
2003-2003 DEF CO
looks a whole lot more impressive them
June 2001 - June 2003 ABC CO
June 2003 - July 2003 DEF CO
2. Put the 5 week job down as a contract job.

Funny how they always want to profit from your successes, lets see where they are if you lose a ton of money....
