me too.

it would be after the first couple.

Khan!

yeah, on the slim chance that anyone is thinking of taking the GP's advice....it absolutely will not work. The only way I would trust to beat a urine test is to not give them your urine. Which is possible if it is a private sector test and you are clever. Is not as easy for the military ones (some poor bastard has to stand there and watch you piss from my understanding.)

While I have no doubt that it matters to a significant percentage of Japanese gamers that the PS3 is made by a Japanese company...I don't believe for a second that any significant percentage of Americans give a damn that MS is an American company and got their Xbox because of that. Most likely IMO? Someone wanted to play some flavor of Halo because their buddies all played it...then, that was the console that they had, and there was no reason to get another one.

I am going with every single day.

I understand your point, and I don't get angry about this...but I have told IT ppl and non-IT ppl I work with this before as a polite FYI....It can't take you much more than 5 seconds to type "one sec".

I am going to ignore all the straw men you set up there. Nobody wants another war in Korea. China is is the best position to end this nonsense without anyone dying.

Hah. I love the phrase "so-and-so is really good with excel". How in the fuck can you not be good with excel? If you can't get it to do what you want by figuring it out or just googling it....you probably don't really need it anyway.

Ah well, I guess the stupid people need things to do at work also.

....and are you, by chance, female?

In the foodservice industry in the US, they probably don't get any paid time off at all (unless things have changed since 25 years ago when I was in it). So, their options are to call in and not be paid, incur the wrath of their manager (do it too many times and you will either be fired or won't get any hours), or just suck it up and go in.

I agree that it is stupid, but it's how it goes.

I ride a bicycle to work year round in the midwest. There are only a few days a year where I just can't ride in (and it isn't from the temp, it's from ice). I will be 40 soon and also never get sick.

I have zero science behind it. But I firmly believe, as you do, that regular fresh air...even if it gets cold in the winter where you are....is a big part of not getting sick. It isn't that it gets cold that makes you sick...it's that it gets cold and you stop going outside for any length of time. (This is all just my opinion).

Me too.

I can work from home mostly but don't as much as I could for this very reason. I don't get as much done as I do when I go to the office. Not condemning working from home, I am just not very good at it.

I have an iPad 3 and I can tell you that being able to read webpages whilst shitting has really improved all other aspects of my life.

They stand to make way more money just churning out cookie cutter console versions than they do putting the dev time into an uber high end engine that only $1500 PC's can run.

I have the same i7 dual HD5870's machine I built over 2 years ago...and I don't think I am going to need to upgrade until the next gen consoles come out....and maybe not even then :(
