One often speaks of soaring like an Eagle etc Exactly, and one rarely if ever talks about spreading one out and making sweet love to it. Just a bad name combo all around.

And where might someone find the info for setting up a router/firewall correctly? Hmmm honestly this isn't something and FAq or help page will really satisfy. Relying on tohers advice without personal expertise will probably just set you up for a false sense of security. One major advantage of Zone Alarm and other software FW's is that they are a lot less dependant on the user getting it right. They also tend to be a bit mroe user friendly in t

Naw, they wouldn't have. If they didn't want either, minority or female, they would have weeded those out already anyway. Interestingly enough, although in person I am pretty obviously a fat white male, my resume really only generated serious interest and inquiries after I moved it into the Diversity section and clicked on the Hispanic block. I was hired at my current job as a "Diversity Hire" after spendign a full year in this town driving piz

by not measuring piracy, but measuring sales. Most business folks simply aren't able to grasp this simple concept. In their minds pirated copies of something equal lost sales on a 1:1 basis.

I have to say that it is a pretty crappy name for a band unless the song material is explicit and risque. after all, if I went to a concert for Blood Spewing Death Metal Razors and all they played were John Mayer-esque tunes I would feel a bit misled. Similiarly for Spread Eagle given the musical description in your article.

Regarding the Ranting of parents: Additionally where does the parent go when more serious infractions are imminent? If you fly totally off the handle for little things and then do the exact same shit for important things you have just equated the seriousness of say hair color or rudeness with getting knocked up! There has to be room to express that some things are far more important than others. Making mountains out of bullshit just means that all your mountain

What about the sailboat lessons sales, is that kosher? Is it a real blogger selling lessons? Or is the "blog" simply a repeated ad for lessons? Generally the former is regarded as no problem while the later is definately a problem. As long as someone is contributuing to JU as a whole ad not decimating Brad

We have several access ranks between elite and avatar that are specifically meant for moderation purposes. I sort of assumed this to be the case. Community moderation can work especially when there are special priviledges to be lost if modding is abused. I would point to PWOT's (now absorbed by Cracked.com) community mods and the highly succe

It also depends on the type of business and how the office is laid out. This was generally the explanation from the finance douches. It doesn't work out well since that design decision is pretty easy to fix. Even if they hadn't had the hair and beard thing against them the open fishbowl concept of operations is a major

At least an estimate of the future payments Nope, not in most states anyways. Anything that floats on variable interest doesn't have to be estimated.

It would be nice if admins would gift a few elites with the ability to exile these cumchunks on sight. Maybe so.. I have thought about this from time to time but most of the Elites or higher here have gone through episodes and web fueds that would probably lead us to abuse the banhammer. Hard to say really.

There just isn't anything that AI will accept. Nerf Darts and puffy sex handcuffs would be too harsh for these ninnies. The problem is that this group really won't accept anything that stands in the way of utter anarchy. The protests are simply stalking horses for that agenda and nothing more.

I thought about picking this one up but the lack of a fully-developed single player campaign has sort of turned me off. I just hate playing MP games I guess.

Rainbow Six? Similar to GOW if you have played that. Basically one button while next to an object makes your character take over behind it in an appropriate stance (upright behind tall objects, crouched behind low ones, aloows you to shoot around the edges or over the top). COD4 feels like I am slightly retarded walking or runnign uprigth through a free fire zone. It gets worse when you zoom in to aim and suddenly you lose the ability to moe at

Try out the Pc version of '08. They are not even close to the same game. The feature set is totally different. I like the PC version but despise the 360 version.

more like Rainbow Six in that aspect Yes, after GOW and R6 it is very difficult to come out with a game that lacks this feature. It adds so much realism and useability to a shooter that even though it is recent, it has become a "basic" feature.

This is a good Summary Gene : At least do a tiny bit of formatting. Do you really think that folks will be persuaded of anything by dumping long blocks of contiguous text into a comment or an article? Or is it more likely that it comes off as kooky and wierd thus losing possible support?

I think as long as you were clean and neat, your choice of hairstyle or facial hair shouldn't be an issue. That is generally my opinion. I also don't mind a dress code. I will wear whatever you want to work (especially if there is a clothin allowance involved) but hair and beards are pretty personal appearance choices that don't seem to need c

We have a couple dress code rules- you have to be dressed, and you have to have something on your feet. We also prefer that people bathe since stinky people are bad. I think that sums up the code at GoDaddy quite well from what I saw. Seems like a sane IT policy to me. As an aside... I have been using <A

I was watching TNG on G4 last night. They ran a streamer at the bottom that said Amazon had sold out of them in 4 hours on Black Friday. The thing never released was the number originally in stock. I think it was quite tiny or else they would have mentioned it. False scarcity is the hot new sales tactic for tech. Best Buy has been testing out having sales guys walk out onto the sales floor announcing "the last Wii in stock!". It sells immediate
