-1 Overrated. I was very disappointed when your link did not tell me how to get to the magical cheese factory.

You can easily use a 3rd party calendar app.

I also just discovered Permission Denied this morning. It (theoretically) revokes specific permissions from already installed apps. Handy for when you want an app that asks for location permission and such but you know it doesn't actually need it. Whether or not it actually does what it says it does, I don't know...

Someone should tell Google.

Aye. According to Wolfram Alpha, a 1 megaton bomb will have a 4.5 mile air blast radius, which comes out to ~64 square miles... Divide the earth's total land area by that and you come up with needing ~900,000 bombs to literally destroy everything.

I'm honestly not even sure that it's considered a major problem, I just know that people taking shells home is at least something of a concern for biologists.

Natural shells are in short supply because people pick them up and take them home.

No source other than my marine biologist wife and years of living near Florida beaches.

Civil Engineering graduate here. Graduated near the top of my class from a fairly respectable private university a year and a half ago. Good grades, summer internship, etc. etc. I've been looking for over a year and a half and I can tell you the OP is correct; there are no entry-level jobs for college graduates. Anywhere. It's not just me, the majority of my classmates have had the same problem.

I don't know why people don't seem to get this. It's not just soft majors that can't find work, it's everyone. The CE jobs that are out there ask for minimum 2-5 years experience, and there are plenty of experienced engineers who were laid off at the start of the recession and need work; employers apparently don't even look at resumes of recent graduates. I'm currently working at a manufacturing plant for about 60% of the pay I would have expected in an entry-level CE job.

Even if jobs were to start opening up in the next year or so, I'm still screwed because then it'll have been a few years since school and I'll have begun to forget everything by then. My current options seems to be limited to either sucking it up and working for a crappy low wage job until I work my way up to something decent in 5-10 years, or going back to grad school (the option I'm planning on taking) and hoping a master's will get me somewhere.

Howdy-what and Clara-who?

*gently steps off lawn*

Nice! Adding that to my list of things to mention when debating healthcare with family...

Romulans!

I already get autodialed/prerecorded robot calls from debt collectors and banks on my cell (they drive me friggin' insane). That's illegal? Can I sue them for say, the amount of my debt?

Gah, "This petition system didn't exist a year ago"

This petition didn't exist a year ago, it went live on the first of this month. I personally hadn't heard of it until about 30 minutes ago.

Submitted. Not sure I like the idea of making /. a "hay sign this petition pls!" place but this seems like a good idea. Also, what the *hell* is up with the submission window? What a huge pain to use.
