A fool and his money are soon parted. 160k salary but no relocation package?

Ut2004 is a chaotic game. Very bot friendly especially since you never see a player's perspective (judging was done in game using a tag gun). I'd be more impressed if a bot could recreate the muscle memory twitch and intelligence of a counterstrike player via the first person perspective.

I agree, most "CS" or software engineering jobs are actually IT jobs, and most IT jobs seem to require a lot of depth in someone else's technology or a series of technologies. It doesn't help that companies don't let you do your own on the job training. Most CS graduates with proven job experience can learn anything if you give them the chance.

Maybe there wouldn't be such a mercenary culture if companies wouldn't all conglomerate in Seattle or San Fran. $90k can go really really far in most of the US.

Stupid swype, evaluation should be evaporation

There's no way the planet got to where it was without a cooling mechanism. More cloud cover is likely one. More heat means more evaluation means more clouds. The ice caps don't cool the planet, they help keep the temperature stable.

As earth heats up, cooling mechanisms should increase. It's not instantaneous of course. Until the cooling mechanisms outpace the heating mechanisms, ice is going to keep melting year after year. The speed ice melts probably has more to do with surface area, ice depth, and cloud cover more than ambient temperature.

Yes there is, because you could create it on demand rather than carrying the gases with you all the time.

So nobody's invented a ballast tank that works by creating a vacuum yet? No lightweight material that can maintain shape at 14 psi?

To me a helicopter/hot air ballon/motorcycle hybrid seems feasible.

Songs on kiss fm can be typified by the following bass line:

Whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump, whump,...

Shouldn't the patent be on how it's done and not that it's done at all? That's like patenting the concept of a machine that seperates fibers from its seeds and not actually patenting the cotton gin itself.

some 'tard mod clearly didn't get the 40 year old virgin quote

You know when you grab a woman's breast... and it's... and you feel it and it feels like a bag of sand when you touch it...

I was going to say, how does this perform on large queries in a large database.

Sticking with the subject of attaching a credit card reader to an Apple device, there's a business in my city that uses an iPad with a credit card reader on it to do their transactions. Pretty slick considering point of sale (POS) systems used to run for $1.5k-$2k each.

But then on one busy day I saw the cashier constantly swapping the charger and credit card reader in and out because there's only one slot on an iPad. So clearly there's a drawback with that system.

Seems like the natural upgrade is to just have a tablet that can be on a charger AND support a credit/debit card reader at the same time. Bingo, cheap touch screen POS system. Is there one out there that already does this?
