    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    I can't say I disagree with this. I do think what will eventually set everything off is the realization that one of our essential ingredients to survival, water, will eventually reach a point where we just flat out don't have enough of it. Which is why we need to be crucifying people likethis...

    It goes both ways. I worked hard at my job in Texas. Showed up early for every shift for nearly ten years. Ran the night training program within a year of starting there. Got the MINIMUM fucking raise every year, DIDN'T get a raise one year because my manager at the time was a pussy and was...

    Three years on and the story transition from Chapter One to Chapter Two, the encompassing four or five cutscenes before they send you off to Taris, still pisses me off. It's so broken and inconsistent I feel like it was never actually tested.

    I've done it both ways. Synacor hired me direct, but my job before them and my current one it was through a staffing agency.

    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    While I keep tutorial projects I used to learn while in school on Github, actual work beyond that is slim. When I get home for the day there's about a dozen other things to deal with and usually by the time I get time to myself the last thing I want to do is anything close to work.

    In some ways he's right, they sort of did target him specifically and kind of went out of their way to pin this on him as much as they could. All of which could have probably been avoided if he hadn't been an egotistical asshole yelling the NFL's equivalent of, "I did not have sexual...

    Coming out of my recent degree program, I struggled to find entry level work. Part of it is the area, there's just not a whole lot of programming jobs around here, but I also never heard back from 75% of the positions I did apply for. And aside from the job I did land my longest conversation...

    Peterson didn't win his. Arbiter upheld the suspension, so the NFLPA took it to court. It was only after the judge ruled in favor of Peterson that the NFL reinstated him.

    You got a couple out-of-work veterans looking for Dallas to call so I agree with you.

    Three things that are going to suck: 1. Goodell declined overseeing the Hardy appeal and assigned it to the same arbiter that upheld Peterson's punishment. That was later taken to court and the judge told them to redo everything, but Peterson was subsequently reinstated before it could go any...

    They were interested enough for a pilot to be scripted. Maybe it's something they keep in their back pocket if they run out of ideas, or they use that to shift things away from the main team for an episode or two. Next week is either going to be awesome or a huge disappointment. No in between.

    Yeah, this has been covered. The NFL refused to let him pull out of the draft and because he made it through the entire 7 rounds without being drafted, he is no longer eligible for the draft. That nugget came out on Monday (or maybe Sunday). If someone had drafted him, he could have refused to...

    That's where the butthurt comes in. Collins will get as much as anyone drafted late second round or later AND he got to choose who he played for. The protections for teams to avoid having things like this happen exist already. That's why the draft is there. The truth is there is no loophole...
