If we can get all our enemies to paint their tanks in mirrors, I think we can declare success.
That will make them immediately visible, and we can take them out with conventional weapons easily enough.
If you don't know where the tanks are (they're not visible) then the laser can't target them, the enemy doesn't have to worry about this laser destroying them, and therefore, they're not going to wrap them in mirrors.
Now, there is a company that converts macbooks to table pcs.
Like, putting them on a desk? Where can I get one?
Name all your machines "Eric".
And here it is:
Monday: bought Dell Mini netbook.
Monday night: installed Ubuntu, used it all week.
Saturday: install Windows 7 RC, used it for an hour, bluescreened.
Now: reinstalling Ubuntu.
I had to pay:
So yes, it was 5 months paid in advance, two of them upfront rent, two more lost, and one that will be refunded when I move out (assuming no repairs are needed when I leave). But depends on the place anyway.
OR
Pay $5000 for a 30 m2 apartment, share it with 5 other people, so you can pay the rent, and act like it's totally normal.
Not true. More like $800/month for a nice 40 m2 apartment, for myself alone. Oh, and that price includes 30Mbps fiber optics. Unlimited and unfiltered, of course.
It's also probably worth noting that our IT-job salaries are much higher here than they would be if we were working in the USA.
According to whois, you live in Japan.
You took the time to check the whois info of my domain. You REALLY should have taken a look at my site too. Then you would have seen that I'm not Japanese. I'm Spanish, and quite happy living here.
Not counting myself, there are 10-12 other non-Japanese sitting close to me right now (we're around 70 people on this floor). But perhaps this is a bad example, since after all I'm working for an American company.
Most of my friends here are foreigners, many of them American. And so far I haven't heard anything about any of them having any issues here, just the opposite.
You might want to try getting your geography straight- NYC is in NY, not Massachusetts.
My geography is fine, thank you. I stayed in Boston / Massachusetts when I was visiting the MIT.
It probably has something to do with the fact that after 9/11 the USA has become increasingly police state-like.
Before 9/11 happened I was looking forward to go back to the US and see NYC (I liked Massachusetts). Then the planes hit and the towers fell, and after the initial scare passed your country went irrationally paranoid about security.
I decided not to set foot on the US again until your government came back to its senses. You know, I don't like to be treated as a criminal by default when visiting a foreign country. I assume this is part of the reason why those people are leaving.
It seems that now things might start to change (hopefully for good).
Wrong. Making fun of religion and religious nuts is ALWAYS funny.
Especially if it involves the Pope, Texas, and a midget or two.
For now on, every time a Slashdot editor posts a link that isn't the original source of the story, I'll be posting the original link.
So are you quitting your job in order to focus on this full-time?
Thanks for your sacrifice!
Wooooosh!
Not to mention that you missed "loose" too.
Unfortunately, some people don't care. And even worse, they often get angry when you tell them that they mispelled a word.
