Comment Pathetic (Score 2, Insightful) 1364

And to split hairs, homosexuals currently have the right to marry. A homosexual man can marry any woman who sees fit agree, and a homosexual woman can marry any man who sees fit to agree. As a heterosexual man, I do not have the right to marry any man. Seems pretty clear and equally applied. Man marries Woman.

You make me sick. Homosexuals currently have the right to marry....only within the context already defined. They do not have the right to marry the person they love. You do.

MLNN, if you think about it, a non-compete is a good idea, IF you happen to be in a sensitive position. If you worked for Google for a number of years and had an intimate knowledge of how their searching algorithm worked, would the brass really want you going to Yahoo with that knowledge being current? It would reduce Google's effectiveness as a company, and what's more, that's their proprietary data, which you might then pass on to another company.

Hell, I'll give another vote for Microcenter. I visit the one in Orange County, CA.

I also love that MicroCenter carries a ton of Mac software. Apple Stores have gradually gotten rid of most of the third-party software titles and replaced them with iPod cases and other crap.

The guys--at least back in the Mac section--are knowledgeable--never really had them shrug their shoulders and say, "I dunno..."

Well, we do try to carry a wide selection of merch; unfortunately, that does tend to include a selection of crap, like you've noticed.

Do you do any work ?? At my local Microcenter ( Nassau county NY ) all the sales people seem to try and stick a freaking label on anything I have in my hand. And when I do ask a question , they just read the freaking box and say "I dunno"

The fucked up part is that I keep going back.

Even tho the last 3 or 4 times I left without buying anything.. Even though I entered with the plan on spending money.

Yeah, I do work. It's unfortunate that the guys up there are driven totally by their commissions (pay is derived in large part from what they sticker), but most of the people in my store are pretty good about knowing their stuff. I work Gaming, personally, so I get paid hourly regardless of what I do. So I'd be the guy who'd chill with you for 20 minutes talking about the latest motherboards, GFX cards, games, what have you. What sucks, though (and this is back-end stuff), is that people being driven to sell stuff means no merchandising gets done during the day, meaning the bulk of it has to be done at night.
