Ultramax prison idea, job creation!

I like how everyone is talking about the difficulty in making a prison large enough to house 10M people - and not the fact that in its most basic form the idea is to torture people until they break and they off themselves. I mean, its not a bad idea, I'm just a little surprised no one is...

got a new office workstation

Man where do you people work? Two and a half years ago the company I contract with got us top of the line laptops (at the time) i7's, 8 GB of RAM, etc. Total cost per machine was around $1000. I would seriously wonder why a company would skimp on PC's at this point they are so incredibly...

To quit my job or not...

Congrats man. I honestly can't believe you put up with that shit for so long. One question though - why change career paths? Maybe I missed it in the thread. IT can and is a great career if you don't work for flaming bags of dicks. There are tons of jobs out there and some you can do from...

I got an entry-level penetration tester job, but a lowball salary?!

This. Put in a year. Kick lots of ass. You're in the DC area which is packed with IT jobs. Get a good raise after a year or move on for a 25% bump. It is not hard to do. I pretty much move jobs every year or two because that's how it works. Stay for a 3% raise or leave for a 20%...

Anyone still think highly of the Star Wars sale to Disney?

As a long time Disney shareholder? Very happy so far and likely very happy into the future. As a Star Wars fan? Also very happy. Disney will monetize their purchase, meaning more Star Wars movies, spin offs, shows, and theme park stuff. Disney has a reputation for producing generally...

Bought e-cig to quit dipping

You are an idiot then. Food or pharmacutical grade Propylene Glycol, Nicotine (if added at all) and flavoring. That's it. That's all thats in ecigs. Basically the same thing as Asthma inhalers, except replace the steroids with nicotine.

Any vegans on ATOT?

Vegan here, not raw vegan though, that is just crazy. I have been for about 5 years now and it has definitely helped me stay healthier. Favorite meal? Veggie and tofu curries, bean burritos, salads, kale, fried tofu, etc. You will feel different when you transition. You will eat a...

Wii U horsepower

Sure, it could have been faster, had more RAM, etc. But you miss a lot of the reasons that they built it as they did. First, its easy to make it backward compatible. Nintendo values this, and their customers do, so they made it work that way by maintaining a similar architecture. XBone...

Wii U horsepower

As a WiiU and PS4 owner, I'd say that is pretty accurate. WiiU is generally more capable than Xbox 360 / PS3, but not on the same level as PS4/XBone. It is not like the games look bad on it - its just that the PS4/XBone can do more. For instance, more background effects, more textures...

Lots of money to be made in software engineering these days..

Lies. I started my professional career 17 years ago, and took a full time salary of 45K while still a senior in college. I graduated with a CS degree while working the last year. This was in a shit hole, rust belt city in the NE. I doubled that salary in 2 years and have done better pretty...

Almost made it... shipping container 1, truck driver 0

I saw this video on reddit a few days ago. I have no doubt he didn't suffer. He was dead pretty much instantly as that container crushed him completely flat.

Thoughts on the Wii U

I like the WiiU - its a neat and powerful system. We have several games for it and just picked up Assassins Creed 3 which looks amazing on the WiiU. The Sonic racing game looks great, but we just have the Demo. Nintendo Land is a great party game. Tank Tank Tank is fun but limited in play...

Colorado Governor signs Gun COntrol Bill; Magpul announces they are moving.

Hawaii does. You pay $16.50 via cashiers check for a background investigation. It is one time per permit to acquire for a handgun, once a year for long guns. You can combine them if you do both at once as I did, so I paid one fee for 2 permits.

What was the last game you played that made your jaw drop?

KOTOR was the last game that was shockingly good and really blew me away. If that's the question being asked. The story twist blew me away because I didn't see it coming at all.

Buy Wii or wait for Wii U?

This. We have all 3 consoles. The Wii gets the most playtime by my son and his friends by far. (He's almost 9.) The Wii is really cheap and there are a ton of games out used you can get for a song. I'd get a refurb from Gamestop or similar that has GC compatibility because there are a...
