I got a bunch of swag from my company when I started and it's been around for like 120 years. I actually wear the polos all the time. They're the nice nike polyester ones.

He was an ex defense engineer at that...

I think counseling is ok for people who suck at communicating. I have no problems communicating though and neither does my wife. I don't think I'd make it with someone who held everything in and needed a 3rd party to help them articulate their feelings.

I want to play this I think but won't be able to until late June. I'll check back in then and see if anyone still has interest.

You know that's not the point though. It's not about bitching because some dude got something extra, it's because there is absolutely no compelling reason for that to even be a thing. I had already quit so I missed out on that and thus still like you. If you are still playing over summer when...

I was already 5 years into my career by the time I finished my BS. It's probably help a little bit, but I honestly think I could've gotten by without it. I've pretty much only worked for gov/gov contractors though so I guess it's a little different than corporate. Clearance + experience will...

8 more nuggets, fries AND a free soda. You're glossing over it because you know he's right.

Actually most of the salaries look somewhat in range of what I would expect. Except DARPA paying out ends with stock options. That one I'm skeptical of... Oh and BNY Mellon paying a cool mil per year.

I don't believe that document at all. DARPA paying the big bucks with stock options and bonuses?

Yeah I only use them when it's a job I really want.

That's odd no one uses cover letters. As a systems guy I've been told more than once that they really liked my cover letter. I find that they are the best way to give life to an otherwise boring resume. I definitely don't do the cut and paste template cover letters though.

Netgear seems to have some quality control issues so it wouldn't shock me if your 5ghz radio was just fucked. The only other thing I could think to do would be to flash it with ddwrt and see if the 5ghz radio still gives you problems and at that point you can pretty much rule out firmware and...

I don't like the way buttsex feels. It's like one tight ring with a wide open meadow once you get in. Vagina is definitely the superior hole.

I'm assuming Principal is going to net you a nice raise (I wouldn't take that title for anything under 120) but are you going to take it regardless of raise or not?

I have a friend who went to Berklee and does lots of session work. I know another guy who went to berklee and is an IT dude. He's a bass player and I got him to play some shit one time and he was pretty amazing. He said he barely ever plays though which I think is a shame, but to each his own.

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...
