A Sharp 60" is less than a grand. Forget the 3D bullshit, yellow pixels, and 240hz refresh bullshit that serves only to sell into a saturated market. For real pissing away of $, skip the meat, tobacco, booze, weed, and other drugs.

There's something to that. After my son's diagnosis I got snipped partly for this reason.

Maybe his bat-shit crazy abusive ex bled him dry. Maybe one of his kids has special needs. Plus he obviously lives in NYC or the Silly Valley where housing leeches $5k/mo or more. You don't don't his situation, you don't know that he doesn't have half a million in a 401k that he can't touch in any viable way until retirement. Think before you judge.

From organizations that aren't large enough to warrant the dedicated in-house resources necessary for effectively being one's own hardware vendor, and the volumes to warrant a direct relationship with Quanta / Foxconn. Have a problem with iLO? Ask the Google or better yet HP's forums. Have a problem with generic beige-box hardware? Better have in-house resources and a Cantonese phrasebook.

Wonder how large a percentage of GDP pr0n origination is for Ukraine, Hungary, and the Czech republic?

Beat me to it. RAID5 is almost always the wrong answer.

Men being cavemen is reinforced by women -- regressive / aggressive behavior is rewarded by them. They like to bitch about knuckledragger behavior, yet men who don't exhibit it are ignored in the dating / mating arena.

The former totally describes my former boss, who swore that he wasn't an elitist, yet he'd describe Hispanics as the "underclass".

LGA could expand onto the water, either by fill or float. Every time I've had to fly to that area, it's been into LGA or Newark; I'm unconvinced that JFK actually exists. Agree that light rail is bullshit.

Oh, so you've met my ex-wife.

Increase of expected hours/week, and in 24x7 services that effectively keep us "on" around the clock. No raises, not even COLA, so earning power is decreasing constantly. Eroding benefits.

Contracts are also a way to discriminate against people with families and lives and mortgages -- we need benefits and income, 22 year old singles don't.

Some of my interviews with Amazon have smelled suspiciously like this

My experience in the CA silly valley is that everyone and everything is "on" 24/7, nonstop racing and contention, where $125k/yr lets you rent a shitty apt an hour from the office.

#1 sounds like all the interviews I've had with Google.
