[QUOTE=Brt5470;36387930]My dad usually looks up job postings online just to look around. He sent it to me.
I applied online.
I got a call about 3 weeks later for an interview in a week.
I arrived, chatted for 2-3 hours.
Took a tour.
Came back about 2 weeks later for a secondary interview for showing my knowledge.
Got a call 2 weeks later to accept the position.
Started the following week.
The job happens to be at the same employer as my dad. We're about 200feet apart in other buildings. I see him every day as I'm working on the systems around him. It's pretty neat.[/QUOTE]
I wish I could find one that is part time. I've started to look around recently and with the amount of classes I am taking I don't have the 40 hours to spare. Well I could, but I would go insane. I'm debating going for it.
Oh btw i have an Corsair AX 850W as psu.
I have a... Mac Mini power supply.
Whatever the fuck that is...
Also is the Lumia 900 getting windows phone 8 or not i read something from 4th juni that it is capable of receiving it.
Today, I learned that where Ben lives, somebody broke into a house with a boxcutter. They just cut a hole in the drywall and insulation and just walked out of the giant hole with their stuff. :v:
Thank god it wasn't Ben's house.

Microsoft are completely winning here, their own tablet, awesome accessories and a non-useless OS.
bye bye iPad, and Android tablets.

When Microsoft does hardware, they do it right. Anyhow, I'd like Microsoft to also make some high quality applications for Windows 8 - Windows Live Movie Maker gets the job done for most things, but I'd like them to make something better. It would really increase the worth of the OS to many, I believe.

What I find the most impressive about it is the venting. I Can't believe that shit's never been done properly, not like Microsoft has it.
However, it looks like WinRT doesn't have ClearType.
"The Intel Surface has a different, higher res display. ClearType Display."
What does that say to you? They never mentioned ClearType at all WinRT.

I wonder if "ClearType Display" is Microsoft's way of saying huge PPI, like Retina but less pretentious.

Lets hope.
[QUOTE=wingless;36389591]Lets hope.[/QUOTE]
I wonder which organ I will have to sell for one.
they said "a bit higher res" while it is actually retina screen like
humble microsoft is humble

I'd say 2 kidneys and half a spleen
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;36389659]I'd say 2 kidneys and half a spleen[/QUOTE]
I might be able to whittle that down to just one kidney if I sell my mountain of Commodore gear.
Didn't they just say "Full HD"? It'd be on a 10.6" screen, so 210PPI. Not bad, but not worthy of the terrible "retina" name.

Sup.
Also, I have an Multi Theft Auto server setup with a slightly-modified flood script, which superstepa and I are playing in the Mumble (benjeffery.ca port 64738). Here's a few screenshots.

Eh I would just like if companies would let go of the buzzwords already
The lack of HDMI output on both devices is kind of a letdown, I mean, why DisplayPort? I have yet to see any device that has that port.
[QUOTE=magravn;36389753]Eh I would just like if companies would let go of the buzzwords already[/QUOTE]
It shouldn't really matter, if the product is good and works for you, let them use a few buzzwords. Can't blame them for trying to get customer interest in ways that (unfortunately) work.

Display port can be converted to hdmi or dvi with a simple cable. I'd rather have a port that will be relevant longer.

Every Apple product has one. While displayport isn't as universal as HDMI, it's smaller. If they used mHDMI we would need an adapter anyhow, and if we're talking compability with most devices, why not go VGA? I don't find it the best choice, but I think we'll see an increase in products using it.

I'm guessing 720p on the winRT tablet.
[QUOTE=wingless;36350685]Huh. I don't have a shotgun.[/QUOTE]
I do, Several
And a few Handguns
I'm getting a shotgun this summer hopefully.
I was gonna carry it with my in my car/truck but in NYS we're not allowed to have guns out of bags and during travel the ammo has to be kept somewhere else locked up.
