Wish troopers would enforce this more rigorously here as well. That, and headlights in the rain... coming home from Cleveland tonight, it's 830pm, dark as shit, light rain, and this "family" comes up behind me in a black jeep-looking thing with no headlights, and goes RIGHT PAST the trooper camping the Ashland US-250 speed trap. Trooper just sits with his thumbs up his ass... c'mon, it's an easy ticket, you scared of getting wet?

^^ this was also the first thing to pop into my head when seeing that.

Vlad, dinner's ready! Time to stop playing with the Ottomans and come in!!

It's called 'behavioral interviewing'... they're looking to see if your style of problem solving meshes with that of the existing team. As for panel interviews in general, I haven't had one like that since I applied to the Naval Academy, and I don't remember any of it besides chewing a Jolly Rancher (or was it a Jolly Roger) just before going in.

Fresh goose on Arlington Centre in front of the old AOL building this afternoon.

Check out Computer Express, little shop next to Microcenter on Bethel.

Rafiki says it like it is

High school 18 year old me >> Ask her out to prom, dammit!! College 18 year old me >> That girl flirting with you in the dorm lobby is worth every moment you're about to spend with her.

Assuming they're rectangular in shape. Aquarium Adventure used to sell a bow-front 55g before they changed suppliers because of quality issues.

Rectangular, bowfront, cube... what sort of dimensions for the tank?

I foresee a trainwreck of truly epic proportions. Count me in.

What's LR? PS/PSE/CS I've heard of and seen used, but LR is new to me.

It could be using High-Voltage DC (rather than what we all see on a daily basis, High-Voltage AC), but while DC offers some interesting advantages to AC, like actually being able to do it, it suffers from some annoying disadvantages as well, namely more components that are liable to fail in interesting (and spectacular) ways.

What, you expected there to be police cruisers every 50 feet with lights flashing and sirens blaring?

'06 Civic Hybrid >> M1 0w20, M1 filter GF's '92 Civic >> Napa 5w30, Napa gold filter (the thing doesn't get oil changes, just filter changes... not sure if it burns, leaks, or both, but we're just holding it together for another few months until we can go shopping this fall)

My bad... for some reason I was getting GM's travesty of a V8 mixed up with pre-Iacocca Chrysler.

One word: Chrysler

Something just came up at work, and I'm looking for suggestions+recommendations... need to have a modular chain link fence painted. Default choice is powder coat, but I'm open to other suggestions (such as autophoretics) as well. I'd like to at least see work samples, although visiting happy customers is better. Whoever wins the job will need to be able to accept shipment from our supplier, do the work, let us check it out, then ship to our facility.

Microsoft gimped it up by only allowing you to create FAT32 partitions of 32GB or smaller. It'll work with larger ones no problem, just won't let you make new ones.

If you want to format a 100G drive to FAT32, you'll need to round up a copy of Win98SE, or use a *NIX to do it, using partition type 0C.

Unless you've got contacts in the business, you'll probably be stuck working "typical" teenage jobs... fast food, retail, that sort of stuff. So, with that in mind, and as others have said, what do you like doing? Personally, I spent four(?) summers as a lifeguard between high school and college, two working electronics retail (Best Buy/CompUSA), and one in an electronics repair depot. Try to find something that's at least sorta close, but don't stress if you can't find exactly what you want. It's just one summer, and school's more important anyway.

Don't have linkage handy, but from what I remember of the announcement, it only affects the third and higher SATA ports. So if all your have is a single hard drive and a single optical, no problem.

Best I can say is that it's pretty nutty over there... but in a mostly good way. Rush hour isn't a rush so much as it's a slowly moving parking lot. Everybody I met in Manila had a working understanding of English, though television, radio, and the like is typically done in Tagalog or Taglish (a curious mix of the two... generally Tagalog with English thrown in when there isn't an appropriate native word). The water is clean, except when it isn't. Same for the local foods... most of it is awesome, except the stuff that isn't. Since everybody's tastes are different, what I did and didn't like could be totally different from you. Be suspicious of motive if anybody offers you balut within the first week of your arrival. After that, it's all in good humor Besides that, the Philippines is a crazy mix of high tech and no tech, filthy rich and filthy poor, all within a stone's throw of everything. You'll see immaculate SUVs driving next to garishly painted jeepneys (anime was a big thing when I was there a couple years back), which itself is in front of a scooter with six people hanging on the rear fender. Most of all, though, enjoy your time there. It's one of those places I'd love to go back to sometime, especially if a vacation to Cebu was on the list
