I did a strictly instance guild on Phinny and still had tons of fun. We beat everything before each xpac was over and had plenty of loot to go around.

Definitely needs to be MJ medal.

It used to mean when someone stole a scan of your license, passport or "important docs." Now it just means some sort of personally identifying info was exposed on the internet.

I guess if you are paying relocation it's not relevant. If you aren't, it's probably worth noting if they are local or not. With a lot of jobs I applied for, I don't even know why they bothered calling because they all seemed very hung up on me not getting reimbursed for relocating even though I...

I can't play until mid June. Way more work + way shittier internet than I thought crushed my plans. If anyone is still around then I'll be LFG. Really want to catch up to live or at least make it through House of Thule. Always been a goal of mine.

My in-laws suggested I use their address and see if having a local one on my resume made a difference. I wasn't in a huge rush since I had a house to finish up and sell, but it would have been interesting to see if that changed anything.

No doubt about that. If I were ever interested in a more salesy route I'm sure I could jump on board with a big tech company on the federal team. I just hate sales.

I'd say you rank well behind local candidates. It took me 6 months of searching in NC and it wasn't until I went back to looking at defense jobs that I actually started getting serious calls. I originally was aiming for RedHat, NetApp, Cisco, etc but everytime they'd call, they'd mention "we're...

Every TLP I see some video of a dude skipping around the screen from latency and it being called warping or running straight to the back of a mob (like melee should) and it being called /stick. Have you guys run MQ2 or used warp? I'm sure a lot have done the former, the latter is a little harder...

First Mabbu, now Dima. This is going to go very well :)

Skynet could also (I'm actually fairly certain) be a reference to skynet in Terminator. Pretty much every botnet ever built has been named skynet. edit: It appears you know that's the reference.

What a shocker, having Mabbu in the guild was a bad idea. Literally no one saw that coming...

Ah yes the Jolden Efreeti Boots. I played on Saryrn server and most people just said "sair-in." When PoP came out, I heard Saryrn referred to as "Sar-ee-ern," which made me take note of the r before the n and it kinda blew my mind.

Or he plans to do all his studying on the train.

I use KiTTY, it's just PuTTY with the things I wish were in PuTTY.

Better lambda the shit out of it and fit it on one line too.

I used Notepad++ and mingw with batch files to build and debug for small C programs. I never wrote enough to want to mess around with getting VS setup for C. I think code challenges used in the context of getting an idea for someones thought process and problem solving abilities is fine. It's...

I don't think the herpes is related to HPV.

I took them from my kids somewhere in the 2 and 2.5 range. I just threw them all away (didn't want my wife breaking). My oldest whined a bit about it the first couple of nights but it didn't actually affect his sleep. The youngest didn't even notice.

That one on the right don't look right.

I'm a systems engineer, so I mostly deal in confs and scripts. The main reason to know some VI is that it is standard on pretty much every nix OS ever made. So if you have to fumble through some old bullshit, you can usually rely on VI. There is definitely no destructor in Java, but I'm sure...

I've been in interviews where they just want you to answer a question the same way they would answer it and correctness is of little concern. I wouldn't want to work with people like that anyway, so I'm usually glad when they don't offer me the job. I had a dude ask me all kinds of bullshit VI...

Not sure if that be a joke... I honestly don't know what you can get at low levels in Luclin. I'm sure there's something better than the combine weapons I always bought on TLPs starting in classic.

At my shop most of the applications are developed in house, but they are your average C#, CRUD business applications. We do have a small R&D imprint that works on some more exciting mission stuff with C++/Java.

How many different DoD programs did you work on? All that shit you were talking about being interested in a few pages back, I've seen many DoD programs doing that same shit. I'm not denying the stereotype can be true, but people also like to ignore the fact that there are massive amounts of...

That makes you a Systems Engineer. You have to install visual studio and get some copy and paste code to run in the debugger before we call you a software engineer.

My experience is kinda narrowed to DoD, but usually the recruiters for primary contractors (GD,Booz, Lockheed, etc. ) are decent. All of the shitty little subs that they have out there are the ones that really suck. Although I will say that my last go around with Booz was a circus though I blame...

So says doctors / other parents / grandparents. My son has gone a full 24 hours on more than one occasion without eating just because he didn't like what we made for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wasn't even like we made new or stuff he didn't like, he just didn't feel like eating it that day...

I know there are kids who might be willing to up their intake of leafy greens, I just have never seen on ever. My kids take these probiotic, multivitamin, fiber gummies which they think is a treat. I was pretty skeptical that they'd actually be worth a damn, but they've helped my oldests...

I'm luke warm on the neon green and black. I kinda like it, but could also see not liking shortly. However, sound is always more important than looks.

Once I get back home with all my extra deployment money I want to buy a 7 string. I've narrowed it down to either Ibanez Universe or Schecter Hellraiser with the sustaniac. I already own 2 schecters so i was thinking of diversifying, but damn do those hellraisers look good.

BBN is the big R&D arm of Raytheon. Check them out, PhD's out the ass I'd imagine.

My company will pay for a masters as well. I don't see a professional benefit to it. The only jobs that I would be interested in that actually require anything higher than a BS are R&D type positions that "require" a masters, but realistically won't employ anything other than a PhD.

Yeah that whole scramble for COBOL talent thing was happening a lot in the early/mid 2000's. I had to run some big iron at one of my first jobs and learn the JCL and enough COBOL to fix things here and there. COBOL isn't hard, you just don't really build cool shit with it and it's useful scope...

I've never actually seen it in the real world. The syntax looks like VB or something. Seems like a pain in the dick.

ADA was invented for DoD. I think the main requirement was the compiler error checking and strong typing. Can't have the missile launch fail with a runtime error.

Yeah you can plug switches into your router ports and hang switches from other switches to get the port density you need. Just make sure you are using the same model of switch for maximum simplification. Don't use all 1GB switches and then throw in a 10/100 somewhere in the middle and it should...

Are you just wanting to hook up more than 4 devices? If so, that looks fine, otherwise the netgear switch isn't necessary.

some small companies might, but most won't care. At least not in IT anyway where finding decent candidates seems to be tough enough already. I had a place I rescinded from on the day I was supposed to start call me like two months later wondering if everything worked out because they still...

Yeah accept it and finish the others out. If the conversation goes the direction of "when would you be looking to start if we select you," you may even want to mention to them that you have other offers. If they like you they may expedite their own offer. If you do wind up rescinding one you've...
