Maybe because he's making a business decision, and not holding an emotional grudge.

Not really. Not unless you mean Coca-Cola.

not so. Never gas doesn't do any infrastructure damage. Even if the buildings have no relevance to the war, the view of total obliteration is enough to really change your perception of the current situation. However, I'm willing to bet that they dropped those bombs in strategic locations so as to best slow down the military industry in Japan.

With that keyboard, you still hit a hard surface.

Even if you typed completely in air, it would still not be "zero force". Try threading a needle: there is no force from the needle to the thread, but there are a lot of opposing forces in your fingers.

Here's the damages: More than one person who has been hired by my firm has been fired for a falsified CV/résumé (here's a thought - why is it that US wants to use a French name, and the UK wants to use Latin? (Curriculum vitae) - pretty screwy...I thought we both used English, but hey...) . We check *everything* you put down. If it says that in 1988 you worked for 3 months in a pizza parlour, it gets backtracked and checked. If it doesn't add up, that's it...you're out. No "if...". No "but...". How would you like to be just settling into your job 6-7 weeks in, only to be frog-marched to the door and ejected? I can't believe this stuff still goes on...

Ah, the Radiohead Shack at 8 Infinity Drive ; ).

To be honest i think Tom York of Radiohead was also thinking of Marvin.

re:"He looks like a cell phone"...
I want that cell phone you're referring to

My theory is that Apple lost because Windows had more apps. While, I use Windows and Linux, Windows has more apps than Linux in the desktop environment.

When it came to supporting more hardware, making development easier, having better APIs/docs, being more open, supporting 3rd party devices, being more cost affective, having more choices and soon on is how Windows won the race to get the most applications. Which in turn is why it won the war for desktop market share.

But those are the very reasons that I am predicting that Android will dominate shortly in the PDA/mobile market. It supports more hardware, it makes development easier, it makes licensing easier, it supports more 3rd party devices, it is more cost effective, it offers more choices and so on. Apple is in the lead today, just like the Apple ][ was in the lead in the earlier 80s and lost so to will the iPhone. Sure it will be cool and trendy, but it will not be the market leader.

Just like their closed minded ways hurt them eventually in the desktop space, so will it hurt them in the mobile space. Now there are things they could start soon to fend off the threat, for instance they could invest time in allowing development from just Intel based Macs to various OSes, like Windows and Linux as well. They could try to expand to additional carriers when the AT&T exclusive offer period ends, they could open up and allow programs to run background services, widgets, run-time environments, emulators and whatnot. They could work to expand 3rd party device support, etc. But that is not who Apple is, they are little fascists who need to control everything, the benefit is that there is less to break or go wrong with products, but for me, I prefer freedom to safety any day, so cannot see the iPhone winning in the long run, but perhaps more people prefer to give up freedom these days for things to just work and I am completely wrong. Time will decide, not a /. flame war.

Because it makes good rat jerky

You correct it. You take your lumps with this employer. And you drop the guy who hacked your resume.

It's OK so shorten your resume. It's not OK to falsify anything on it.

You should have dropped 'em the first time. Now that you know this guy fakes resumes you should never touch him again.

You may be having trouble now because there's two versions of your resume getting to some HR departments and you're flagged as a fake. If you keep getting no-replies you may need to include a cover letter explaining that a(n unnamed) headhunter had previously "enhanced" your resume and circulated this false version, that this one is true and correct, and you no longer do business with him.

Perhaps balloons and streamers will come in the first Party Service Pack.

I'm pretty sure your resume will match for "C" somewhere...

what have you read about MDCC? Did you know people are running away from MDCC by the tens? When I got to MDCC, therer were 900 people here. When I left, they were probably on the 600. Now, over a year after I left, it has around 300. They lost 600 people in a year and an half. Many of other interns didn't want to stay. And why would the interns that didn't like the spot say something to the mailing list? That most probably would make them fear getting into some sort of black list.

My team there was great. My manager was an asshole probably with a grudge for my nationality. He treated me and all the other guys from my country the same.

But the perks were the same for all interns: less than for the full time guys.

Oh, dear. Ever had a sledge handle break? Or had the head starting to come off? I'm remembering a memorable weekend years ago, on a Habitat for Humanity project, where the volunteers brought _good_ tools and some contractors involved had brought absolute bottom-of-the-barrel, nasty, dangerous tools. We had a little trouble recovering some of our tools from some of the contractor's lowest ranked employees, who really, really wanted our tools, including a very sweet sledge hammer that I also really wanted.

Well, this idea is already around. A Nigerian security firm offered to protect my identity and all my money if I sent them the originals of every form of identification I have, and transferred all my bank accounts to them. Since then, nobody's been able to steal anything from me!

Maybe for "slashmongs" like yourself who apparently don't get the (not-so-subtle) difference between causation and correlation?

Insurance companies certainly care about causation, not simply correlation, e.g. if they instituted a "what did you have for breakfast monitor" and found that 20% of their driving population sample ate Brand X cereals before having an accident (aha! correlation!), I doubt they'd offer discounts for households that swore off Brand X cereal.
