It's a recession, and a lot of companies are waiting on their capital improvements right now. This one surprises me in how impatient they're being, or there's something else going on.

That absolutely sounds like hell. Maybe you should smoke some pot. (Except the doing things for others in need.)

I think the whole Cristal phenomenon generalizes this to most Americans in general.

At a startup, none of their salaries would have counted. As such, all they would have had to do is all meet in a coffee shop and pay the price for drinks.

The question I have, of course, is how does one keeps their mental clarity of working even 70 hours a week over a month? For all the workaholics I've seen, most are not able to do so, lose sight of the big picture, and end up doing worse wo

I have an iPod Touch, and the lack of a physical keyboard would drive me nuts were it my phone. Certainly, some of the usefulness would be cancelled out by voice activation, but you just can't feel which key you're about to press with the v

...and this was the fundamental failing of Microsoft. They were so involved in finding the next generation of revenue and growing (instead of just putting out dividends and cautiously expanding out of their core competency) that they lost f

If I heard somewhere had a sleeping room when interviewing, I'd be afraid that they were expecting me to stay so long that it was unsafe to drive home on a regular occasion. Now, if it were just for midday naps, I'd love it.

I would like to see how CS minors figure into the context, as well as CIS/MIS degrees. As someone with a CS minor (considering going back for a BS/master's), I've found that all I needed was that first job. Certainly, I've had my fair share

Try applying for QA positions as well, instead of tech guy ones. Frankly, you might be running into a problem that you're overqualified for the grunt work positions. Further, unless you're WAY younger than your wife, you may be running into

This jives with what an acquaintance went through. He ended up ~20k in debt to work at entry level support for Comcast. I listened to him talk about the program, and I couldn't believe my ears.

I don't tend to post stories. :) If I were looking for posts, I would likely post it in a personal blog then write my own interpretation, using effective argumentation, re-presenting the arguments targeted to a more critical audience. That

I've managed to keep from being incessantly downvoted in my unpopular opinions by providing well documented arguments (logos, with an occasional appeal to ethos of sources), tying to personal credibility or experience (ethos), or providing

1. In this world, it's a lot easier to find someone's address and phone number, making payback much easier no matter where one lives. 2. While I understand the concern about the gang members and payback, the fundamental piece missing is tha

I happen to have a small bit of perspective on the situation. My mother grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and much of my extended family is still there. I spent part of my childhood in the environment, and there was a crack house acro

Will you afford not to have the extra time? Try to move to seasonal fruits, and add raw seasonal vegetables on top of it. Cut out the meat. (This is probably what I'll be doing when my bf goes out of the country for a month... or at least,

I don't think it's boasting but rather trying to explain away an apparent contradiction.

It's a nice idea. Except some of us can be ready to sleep at 7:30, but wake up at 9, only to get tired again at 12:30. I know that I have windows of opportunity to sleep myself. And if I go to sleep at 7:30? Oh, then I wake up at midnight a

I actually like what they're doing with Windows 7. The lightweight core is going to be great, hopefully. I remember hearing that they were going to implement previous functionality via virtualization. This is also the right direction. With
