I live in LA. I spend as much in gas as I would on a montly metrolink pass. Also my 3 hour daily commute would go up to around 6 hours.

Not to mention needing to wait for my roommate to come pick me up 2-3 times a week after work holds me late and I miss my bus/train.

I'd be happy to take public transit if it saved me anything.

I know a lot of people who refuse to see movies in the theater anymore, just cause of how bad it is to deal with rude audience members; especially for a movie like Watchmen that we actually care about. I'll be buying the DVD to show my support, but I won't punish myself with another 2 hours of text messaging teens and crying babies.

Heh, the California National Guard sold my email address. I would have thought they were reputable, but all the spam I get to calguard@ says otherwise.

Oh, sweet. Its last year already? Right on, I can totally make a killing on the stock market now.

Last year's news is awesome.

Cyberdyne? HAL? Come on, its been a week already.

Was wondering the same thing. Maybe some new psoriasis treatments could come out of this, its related to an overabundance of angry T Cells.

I have a friend who swore by clicky keyboards and collected old ones people were tossing out. She had arthritis from an early age and found that with the feedback from those keyboards, she needed less force and it caused less pain.

Had the same experience at Amazon a couple years back. They flew me out and introduced me to the techs. I was introduced as "the new admin" and got lots of "so, when are you starting?" comments, like it was a done deal. Then they tried to get me to interview with some random exec... I think he missed about four interviews before HR finally decided to skip him. Couple weeks later they sent me a letter telling me they'd decided to pass. Oh well, I got a free tour of an Amazon fulfillment center and I didn't want to live where it snows anyway; they don't teach you how to deal with that when you're raised in Southern California.

I went on to get a job with another decent sized internet site. My new manager told me that he had briefly gone over to Google, but had been recruited back weeks later. He didn't have a PhD so he felt he wasn't respected by coworkers.
