    Ok, who still has there job

    I probably depends on the field. My company direct hires hundreds of them (real time embedded firmware engineers) and they make a very good living with a fairly secure job. I have friends who have been engineers here for 20+ years. It's a strong job in the telecommunications field. That is my...

    Start my new job tommorrow

    Wow. That's pretty lame. Fired for not reaching correctly. I guess they want to keep their insurance and worker's comp premiums low so they can afford those high paid drivers.

    Ok, who still has there job

    I'm still working and I don't see that ending anytime soon. My department is a profit center and the company collects $15k a week (plus T&L) for my services. I'm already booked solid through 2009, so I'm gold through at least the end of the year.

    FIOS - no usenet?

    Seems they could just toss out the .binaries groups to get rid of the file sharing and that would bring the costs way, way down.

    Math Sucks!

    Maybe, maybe not. I've seen plenty of people over the years that absolutely excel at Math in every form, yet have difficulty with Geometry, from even the best of instructors.

    Wireless international calls from overseas

    You may want to consider purchasing pre-paid sim from a local provider. I've had good luck doing that when traveling the Europe. Make sure you call AT&T and get an unlock code for your phone before you leave, so you can use another provider's SIM. Test locally with a friends T-Mobile SIM...

    Unlimited Wireless Service Price War?

    Do I smell a Boost mobile employee? Lots of Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon subscribers are just ponying up the ETF and flocking to a Boost Mobile prepaid plan. Right.

    The Oscars

    At the risk of sounding "snobby and self-righteous", I didn't particularly think either of those films deserved a nod for best film. I liked them alright, I suppose, but I had largely forgotten both within a few hours of seeing them. Frankly, I think if Heath Ledger were still alive, the...

    Pixar Flicks...

    Just go to show, different strokes for different folks. Finding Nemo has been the only one of the Pixar movies that I found even slightly entertaining. Wall-E was a downright snoozer... and the "Wall-E" and "Eva" whining by the robots was extremely annoying.

    Unlimited Wireless Service Price War?

    At least in my market, Boost Mobile is aggressively marketed to a narrow market segment, specifically African American. For a while, their commercials were bordering on racist. If anyone has seen the "Where you at?" commercials, you know exactly what I mean.

    Circuit City to Shut down

    Not so much recently, but over the past several years CC had a great reputation for: a) price match policy b) generous returns policy But, internet shopping pretty much cut CC out of the loop for me.

    property value

    In the 8 years I've been in my house, the appraisal has gone down twice, and up 6 times. It fluxuates with the market. Around here, the county doesn't actual appraise individual properties, they do sampling and apply formulas based on the price of home sales in the area. Since I have...

    Math Sucks!

    It doesn't defy logic. The money is all accounted for. $25 to the house, $2 to the waiter. That adds to $27, the amount of money the 3 men are out.

    Math Sucks!

    Math Sucks!

    You can thank Math for every piece of technology in your life. TV, Cell Phone, MP3 player, Computer, Internet, Car, you name it. Incredibly complex math goes into the engineering and design of just about every product made, high tech or not. And Algebra is just the beginning.....
