very very brief interview... basically finding out about me, then shortlisting. - colin Mar 6, 09:49 6
- That is one of the biggest tips you can give anyone for an interview. Answer the question and then shut up. - Jim Mar 6, 09:59
- Bold is the way to go, for sure. I got where I am now by being much bolder than I normally would have been. - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:52 1
  - I think I was a little tooo bold in the Director position I applied for. I still think I could have gotten it if I had interviewed a little - colin Mar 6, 09:54
- I'd do it after the more in depth interview. I think that's your maximum spot of leverage. -- nm - spamlet Mar 6, 09:51 2
  - sounds good. i just want to be wary of wasting their time, but i also want to make myself as appealing as possible.. - colin Mar 6, 09:52 1
    - You want to give them the chance to fall in love with you. - spamlet Mar 6, 10:02
I'm on Psych season 3 now ... still good. :) - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:46
Vegastravaganza PSA - for those not following along on FB - these are plans so far....... - Meg Mar 6, 09:44 13

  - Where. What time. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 6, 09:47
Newsroom jumped the shark at Season 2, Episode 6 (spoilers) - Inigo Mar 6, 09:38 18
- With NBC rebooting shows, West Wing and a three-season Sorkin run would have me hook, line and sinker. I'm happy Newsroom is done after this year. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 6, 10:00
- It's based on an actual event that happened at CNN -- (link) - TWuG Mar 6, 09:45 1
  - Oh, I saw that. I was enjoying the Genoa story up until Jerry's rant. -- nm - Inigo Mar 6, 09:52
- although this got lapped by reality, not too far after the fact. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 09:44
- I don't remember anything about Jerry hating Obama but his entire story arc was insipid. -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:44 13
  - Maybe they don't keep going down that road, but (spoilers) - Inigo Mar 6, 09:50 12
    - What I just couldn't get over (spoils for the end of the season) - prayformojo Mar 6, 09:54 5
      - Yeah (spoils) - Inigo Mar 6, 10:00
      - I'm pretty sure he wrote himself into a corner and the reshoots magnified the issue. -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:58
      - Or his references to McKenzie's "sweet sweet can". -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 09:58 1
        
        "Marge, truly yours is a butt that won't quit." -- nm - David Mar 6, 10:00
      - What was annoying about that - Max Mar 6, 09:58
    - Spoils - TWuG Mar 6, 09:53 5
      - You IM might be correct, but it doesn't make me feel any less annoyed with the show. -- nm - Inigo Mar 6, 09:56 2
        
        I am honestly surprised you were enjoying season 2 until that point. -- nm - David Mar 6, 10:00 1
        
        Maybe I was preprared for worse because everyone seemed to hate the second season so much. -- nm - Inigo Mar 6, 10:05
      - That was my thought. I didn't get a political vibe about his issues. -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:56 1
        
        Spoils - TWuG Mar 6, 10:01
Motley Crue "Wild Side" vs. Def Leppard "Armageddon it" -- (link) - Remlik Mar 6, 09:36 5
- That's like a cage match between a killer gorilla and a gimp named Spawn. - David Mar 6, 09:46 4
  - There are plenty of Crue songs I would rank higher than Armageddon It. - Jim Mar 6, 09:48 3
    - THERE ARE PLENTY TIMES YOU ARE WRONG, JIM!!! -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:52 2
      - Hysteria, Love Bites, Animal, Pour Some Sugar on Me. See? 4. - Jim Mar 6, 09:54 1
        
        Maybe Dr. Feelgood. Maybe. -- nm - David Mar 6, 10:02
Portal board game coming later this year -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:28
Fantasy Golf really needs an option to automatically assign one of your bench in case of last minute withdrawal -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 09:27 4
- and also a link to a better fantasy sport. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 09:44 1
  - Why? It's based on each players final result rather than a bunch of stats that may or may not have influence the outcome of the game. -- nm - zork Mar 6, 10:00
- And automatically put in the best players each week! -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:29
- It sucks, but they have pushed back the selection chices until 5 minutes before the first tee off, so it's better than it was -- nm - CQ Mar 6, 09:29
Oh and Watch Dogs out May 27. Guess that's the next purchase. -- nm - timPhone Mar 6, 09:21
Stick of Truth is great so far, though your mileage probably depends on how much you like South Park. - timPhone Mar 6, 09:20
Jeebuz. Every satellite orbiting earth in one image -- (link) - oblique Mar 6, 09:18 6
- Gravity isn't just a movie, it's a warning. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 6, 09:37
- Hey bery, anyway of getting the auto "-- (link)" to say something different for when the image is contained inside? - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:21 2
  - hmm ... sort of. Maybe. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:23 1
    - Thnaks. Not a "deal breaker" but would be nice. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:24
- I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the eagles' flight. -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:20
- Our shield is nearly complete. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:19
I am not going to SXSW this year :( But good luck getting into Gaga at Stubbs. - ty97 Mar 6, 09:12 1

Getty makes 35 million photos free to use -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 6, 09:09 1
- But the key is, they're all crap -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:46
Controversy over 'discovery' of Bitcoin creator -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 6, 09:05 3

  - Maxcoin is superior! -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:08

- Go be above average! -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:00
- Good luck! -- nm - spamlet Mar 6, 08:59
Nice. Adam Vinatieri calls out the NFL. -- (link) - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 08:55 16
- Can you really call them out on something so blatantly obvious? -- nm - Ender Mar 6, 09:28 3
  - The injury stance hypocrisy? -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:36 2
    - The "trying to minimize the importance of kickers" part. Of course they are. They'd get rid of field goals and punts too if they could. -- nm - Ender Mar 6, 09:42 1
      - Well, as one of the best he has the right to say it. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:45
- [deleted] 11
  - It's always been automatic. Not sure why it's being brought up now. -- nm - Inigo Mar 6, 09:22 8
    - Here's a PAT chart from ESPN. -- (link) - Inigo Mar 6, 09:33
    - Agreed. And his point that injuries will increase which goes against what the NFL says is a primary goal is quite valid. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:27 5
      - Which will only move up the NFL's timeline 5 years when they go "ok, I guess we'll just get rid of the PAT altogether..." -- nm - Ender Mar 6, 09:30 4
        
        If they want the XP to be a challenge, narrow the goalposts to Arena League width. -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 6, 09:35 3
        
        What they really want is to just be able to move onto the next play. -- nm - Ender Mar 6, 09:40
        
        Plus they should move. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:36 1
        
        And we'll add Dikembe Mutombo in the middle to slap aside any weak kicks. -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 6, 09:38
    - I don't get that either. And I can certainly understand why a kicker might be irritated by it. -- nm - Jim Mar 6, 09:26
  - The safety issue is still a valid point. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 08:58 1

- For a guy who had no true football position, he had a stunning NFL career. -- nm - David Mar 6, 08:36 5
  - Miami had no idea where to play him either. Although, he did have 4 INTs one year. -- nm - Inigo Mar 6, 09:24
  - the new kickoff rules killed him. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:21
  - Hall of fame worthy? - pmb Mar 6, 08:38 2
    - I think it depends on how Hall of Fame voting evolves in an area of specialization. -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:11 1
      - if he plays a few more years, and gets a few more return TD's, I think so. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:21
- This saddens me. I can't believe he was going to be too pricey at this point. Unless they find a great talent I think they're going to regret the - pmb Mar 6, 08:36

        there is a Hulk game for Xbox! -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 09:02 8
        
        How is Mel's life complete without getting to *be* the Hulk!?! -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 09:03 7
        
        I'm The Hulk in many other ways. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 6, 09:05 6

        I think he may have just received all the new product. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 6, 08:54
- the difference between level 3 and level 4 tanks seem to be huge. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:47 7
  - it depends on the tank line really, but yes 2 to 3 and then 3 to 4 are large jumps. - nAmUrT Mar 6, 09:19
  - my goal is the centurion 7/1 - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 6, 08:59 4
    - that not on the xbox yet (nor are the russian tanks) - nAmUrT Mar 6, 09:20 3

        true, but its slower than dirt and pron to easily be tracked. - nAmUrT Mar 6, 09:35
  - 2 and 3 was a big jump. I can stay alive a lot longer once I got to level 3. - spamlet Mar 6, 08:49
