  1. Geek Squad on Tech Support to the Stars · · Score: 1

    I work for Geek Squad. It's not that bad, really great part time job while I study Computer Science. Helping people who don't have time to learn all the details of technology can be rewarding, knowing you can actually teach or show a person something that will benefit or at least entertain them.

    The rest of the time, you have paying customers who would gladly part with their money for you to just "make it work".

    Celebrity or not, Bono is just like any other Best Buy / Geek Squad customer.

  2. Timeline on Ask Sid Meier · · Score: 1

    The Civilization series of games has always used unrealistic units of time to measure turns in the game. For example, once you reach the modern era,1 turn takes up 1 year of game time. The notion that it would take one of my armies 1 year to move relatively small distances detracts greatly from what is an otherwise quite realistic strategy game. Will Civ4 use a new model for the game time or Unit movement?
