Only at their Arkansas headquarters. Field IT is done by guys who just travel full time. You don't want to work for them anyway, at least not corporate. The benefits absolutely suck, and the pay is rock bottom. Their "do everything as cheaply as possible" philosphy also applies to HR.
Doesn't surprise me. As evil as Wal-Mart is they are interesting. They really believe in the "do everything cheap" philosophy. Have you seen the head office? Even the CEO's office looks like that of a used car salesmen. Nothing fancy what-so-ever.
Actually Wal-Mart has a very advanced inventory management system. Headquarters knows within minutes when you buy a candy bar even. I'm sure they have tech jobs available.
Just doing my duty to apply logic to Slashdot comments that don't ask for it.
Networking is key. The tried and true book Winning Friends and Influencing others completely changed the way I talked to people and I saw an immediate improvement. It basically boils down to just asking people questions and being genuinely interested. Try it sometime.
By the way does anyone have recommendations for books that are similar over even better?
I have been to a wide variety of fast food joints in my day and have never once ever been asked "would you like fries with that". Ever. Where does this myth come from?
I've seen some really good total conversion mods for various games. Sometimes these things are down right commercial quality. Normally these mods are given away for free in hopes of gaining recognition, but is it legal to sell them? I could see $15 unofficial HL2 add-on boxes sitting on a Walmart shelf.
I'm assuming this device could create objects other than human beings. What are the dangerous of being able to project custom objects onto someone's desk? Could I for example stab someone when they came near the device? It will be interesting how they create safeguards.
I've never used professional video conferencing equipment before. What are the microphones like? Is it just one really nice one in the middle or several scattered around the room?
Thinking this technology would only be used for video conferencing of all things is pretty naive. I'm sure we would see this applied to movies, video games, pr0n, and user interfaces. Who else can think of more ideas?
Any technological improvement must first benefit porn before it can take off. It's an unspoken rule. For example every single geek wishes for a holodeck for the soul purpose of holosex.
I really don't see this taking off for the same reason video phones don't take off (unless they figure out a way to use it for porn of course). Simply talking to the person over the phone is enough. You don't have to care about your visual appearance. I can sit around in my underwear if I feel like it. In a business meeting scenario seeing the other party is nice but for every day one on one I think the phone works fine.
Terraforming whole planets in the beginning of our space exploration seems pretty impractical. Why not create earth like environments inside of huge city sized domes like in CowBoy Bebop?
The one thing I miss about cassette tapes is how durable they were. Now the newer music CDs that are coming out don't even let me back up my music. CDs only last for a few minutes in my grasp until they get scratched up and explode.
But most Americans have no idea how the Internet works or why it is so vital. They see the Internet as an entertainment device. Like the TV, just another thing. They don't see it as the most amazing medium for free speech humanity has ever seen. Just like in the real world if we want to keep our rights and privacy we will have to put up with some crime. The internet is no different.
They don't realize that making the internet "safe" will just cripple and ruin it.

Torrents!

Or what if two +5 comments have opposite advice?? Oh god, lets stop talking about this subject right now before we tear the universe apart.
Nonsense!
I hear there are plenty of jobs over in India...

Completely consuming and destroying your hand silly. All futuristic technology has to be able to spontaneously kill people as a rule.
Finally HatfulOfHollow from this Bash.org conversation will get his wish.
My favorite part of the episode:
Hey lets do a search! *moves heads around searching*

Ok what if I don't kill him, I just chain him up and lock him in a basement for the rest of his life?

China is a sovereign nation and has full rights to what goes on inside their borders.
You must be new here.

Good riddance! Cassette tapes allowed easy duplication of music between friends that destroyed the music industry! Oh wait no it didn't.

Linux has a distinct advantage over all the other operating systems that no one ever talks about. An adorable penguin. We can't lose.
