I actually work for a company that pays me similar to this. I get payed $20/hr for 20 hours a week (really not that much money for where i live) then I get a bonus for the projects (usually 50%). Of this 50% I usually give half to the sys admin since we're an ASP and I believe he deserves part of it. My job differs however from what the troll GP posted where the companies pay a retainer, and I recieve half of that retainer, then I get half of the payement on completion (along w/ any other resales of whatever I designed). The only problem with this is when the sales, support, and collections staff sucks and either the client doesn't pay the final payement, the support staff is always asking questions or promising alterations will be made, or the sales staff just can't sell or resell anything. As far as the stress goes, the environment is really relax, basically come in whenever I want as long as I make scheduled meetings, no real office politics, etc. If it wasn't so relaxed however, I would be totally stressed out all the time from the deadlines and dealing w/ retarded customers.
the problem is that many people don't know about these programs and would have to spend a couple hundred dollars to hire a financial planner when the company could hire a financial planner for everyone at a fraction of the cost. The plan may not be suited as well for the individual, but it's better than nothing, if someone wants their own program, they don't have to participate in the company program.
yah, it's easy to say you don't believe in loans when you could buy a home for $17,000. However, when a simple 1 bedroom condo costs over $300,000, paying cash isn't very feasable.

be sure and break lots of things you don't take just so that i know it was you.
no, i live in a rather large city in southern california, I just figure if someone wants to get into my house a door lock isn't going to stop them and this way maybe i can avoid a broken window or door.
yes but once you finish with your studies you're going to need to work 4am - midnight on any sort of work you can find including these bounties in order to repay those loans before you die.
Compression has a lot to do w/ what type of data you're compressing. I did a test a couple months ago and compressed 2557 megs of rom's w/ bzip2 and 7zip. bzip2 only managed to compress it down to 1.2 gigs while 7zip got it down to 218megs.
A nuke is in no way evil. All a nuclear "bomb" is, is a device that releases energy based on a reaction, much the same way a car detonates each cylinder by compressing the air/fuel mixture and adds spark (except a nuclear bomb is an atomic reaction while an engine uses a chemical reaction). Now are cars evil? sure they have bad side effects, but the point is, is that using the energy released from an explosion is currently our most efficient and affordable method of harnessing energy. If nukes were used in space, where there is no life in order to move a rocket, are they evil then? The only thing evil about a nuclear "bomb" (or any bomb) is that twice we've detonated them in areas that contained life (not counting the testing we've done).
As far as your other post that killing animals for food can be considered evil, I'd have to say again, moron. Evil is generally a term given to any act that is in opposition to nature, but nature made humans omnivorous and we rely on the proteins from animals in order to survive so in fact someone would not be evil because they killed a deer to feed their family. However, plants are what make life for animals on this planet possible and by consuming so many plants to replace the deer that you could have eaten, you are making harder for nature to continue, so someone claiming to be a vegan or vegetarian is actually more evil than someone willing to kill and eat a deer.
well one thing both of you are a little off about is introverts and extroverts "enjoy" acting out as one (or not acting out?). The basis of the test is really to prove whether you feel "recharged" after spending time by yourself or by interacting with others. Although people generally enjoy doing what they feel recharges them, you really can't interchange the two. Personally I'm about as introverted as it gets according to myers-briggs, however I really do enjoy interacting with people who I find interesting and when I feel that they find me interesting however, interacting with people really drains me and after a while of interacting with people I'll naturally just start to appear uninterested even though I'm just self-reflecting so that I'll be able to continue.
As for whoever said, extroverts need others to care about them, that can't be farther from the truth, they really just seem to have a more verbal way of self-reflecting. By talking with others, most extroverts I've known seem to realize more about themselves from either hearing other peoples experiences or just saying something about themselves aloud.
As for the parent poster stating that talking isn't hard, introverts know that, usually we genuinely just don't care and sometimes don't want to know the answer to these questions.

this is more the fault of the web designer. They should put something on the page to let you know something has changed like using the yellow-fade-technique, or have an image display in a non-intrusive but eye-catching way saying something is loading. (These techniques are actually given in the book i'm reading called "Foundations of Ajax" which is also a great book).
no, they're there to verify that your speedometer works in speeds of excess of 100mph. Also i've seen cops to lazy to hold up a radar gun just sit in front of them waiting for it to say someone is speeding.

you can also use marks to delete lines. in command mode, go to the line you want to start at, hit ma to mark a line as "a", then go to the last line and hit d'a to delete (delete to mark a). This will delete the block of text from mark a to delete mark a.

You're insulting vim for lacking the one thing it excels in over most other editors, the cursor positioning. Have you tried in vim command mode, the key sequence, 11 up, that will move your cursor up 11 lines, or 5x will the following 5 characters. 3dd will delete the next 3 lines, cw will delete the current word up to the first non alpha numeric character and put you into input mode. cW will do the same except it deletes up to the first space, 3cW will delete 3 words. c$ will delete the rest of the line, c^ will delete everything on the line behind the current cursor position. Theres lots of other great tricks to vim that will save you a lot more time than reaching for your mouse to scroll around. As for your page up/down, home end etc. issue, those are just some vim settings. I have a.vimrc file that I copy to all my machines so I can have the use of the full keyboard.
well if the leader MUST be called out again after, everyone can just say maybe until the leader is called out again after he's already hit his arbitrary number because that would mean everyone else has hit their arbitrary number too.
here's some possible answers, first the simple solution:
But eventually we may be certain that each prisoner will be called in ten times, or twenty times, or any number you choose.
Apparently you are the king, so you can just tell each prisoner that he is or isn't the final prisoner.
No where does it say that YOU are a prisoner, so you can just plan a rescue mission to rescue the prisoners.
If you are a prisoner, just beat the king into submission with the chalice and free the other prisoners.
Apparantly, encyclopedia's were so expensive that in 1914 an Americana (encyclopedia) salesman subdivided some land he had just bought into small plots of land and gave away the plots of land with a purchase of an encyclopedia set. 91 years later, one of these small plots of land with a moderate sized home on it is now worth $800,000 - $5,000,000 dollars.
yah, i haven't even heard of any game that's anywhere near as good as UO was back in it's day. The great thing about ultima was that once you did get to a high level instead of it just getting mundane with no new more difficult creatures to hunt, you could go out and hunt other players. Not only were they the hardest thing to hunt (couldn't trap them behind a rock or do whatever that paticular monster required you to do to beat it), they also had the best loot. I still have fond memories of polymorphing into an orc in an orc fort, waiting for some n00b to attack, then killing him (or get killed by the 20 other n00b's who would attack you too). So in summary, someone needs to come out with a new game that is entertaining to play while gaining levels, then still fun once you're at a high levels by PK'ing and looting people (not by forming huge groups with 20 friends and going out to hunt the REALLY hard monsters). If someone came out with another one of these games, I would definitely cut way back on work and totally quit going to school so I could play this all day.
