Comment Re:"where I live" vs. "where I'm applying" (Score 1) 506

When you see exclamation points, run :)

I actually tried talking to one of these clowns once, and as AC said above,

"You get headhunter spam? Who the fuck doesn't? It's meaningless and does not reflect any actual job or offer."

When I called them, it sounded like they were in a boilerplate telemarketer center in some far off place in the world.

I've found that same problem before: recruiters look at the place where you currently live, not where you've said you're interested in working.

Haven't had the same experience myself. For reference, I live in San Jose California. Here's a snippet of what I get.

In case folks were wondering. Frankel and some of the original crew moved on to creating a DAW called Reaper flying under the company name Cockos.

If Winamp is only worth $6m today, I'm pretty sure he could buy it back. There's so many things in reaper that have been missing in Winamp for years (namely good ASIO support, the ASIO output plugin for winamp stinks)

Comment I won't buy another nexus until they add miniSD (Score 2, Insightful) 78

I got the nexus 4. The lack of the miniSD slot has really been a bummer on this phone. I know google's answer is "Everything in the cloud!" but in real life (meaning, not in Mountain View) the lack of an SD slot is irritating.

16gb can get used up really fast. Even with the best carriers you're going to lose coverage AND bust that cap on your monthly data usage.

Dude, they reverted your posts because what you posted was flat-out wrong, not because they are shills. You stated that Dan Pulcrano owns backpage.com, but he doesn't own it, operate it, or have any direct control over what goes on it. His newspaper does business with it, but that is a far cry from what you actually posted.

I don't think a local DA would make the claim that Pulcrano owns it unless it was true.

it might be sleazy, but prostituion is a legal service

Not sure where you live, but where I live it's totally illegal.

Personally, I'd rather we make it legal. I fall under the category of, "Whatever consenting adults want to do behind closed doors" but in its current, illegal state, most of the time we just have people being exploited for someone else gain (usually the pimps gain)

Comment Wow, I'm going through this now.... (Score 1) 166

A local newspaper owner runs ads for prostitutes in his magazine. He also has a site (backpage.com) that has been accused by a local DA of being a conduit for child prostitution. An edit was made last week talking about this.

Page in question.
