This might be a blessing in disguise if we think outside the box.Hm... Compare (4 hour) Dr. office lobby wait with (2 hour) trip through airport security...
Consider how going to the airport could save men over 50 the cost of an annual physical provided we could get the TSA to toss in an eye test and some blood work to go along with that rectal exam...
In an era of rapidly rising health costs it's always prudent to seek out synergies and encourage government agencies to provide more for less!

Lewis Page, an "improvised-device disposal operator tasked in support of the UK mainland police from 2001-2004," pointed out that this isn't much of a threat for three reasons: 1) you can't stuff a lot of explosives into a body cavity, 2) detonation is, um, problematic, and 3) the human body can stifle an explosion pretty effectively (think of someone throwing himself on a grenade to save his friends).ROFL
Actually you're both right, Since HP has decided to adopt the lose-leader business model for some of their laser printers there are several models (low end color machines come to mind) that exhibit all the fit & finish quality of a Pez dispenser.Modern HP printers are pieces of crap that break easilyI don't find that to be so. I have a few 'modern' HP Laser printers and, while they certainly don't have the heft of the old II's and III's, they perform very well and I've yet to break one.-Innuendo (September 28, 2009, 08:28 PM)-cranioscopical (September 28, 2009, 08:55 PM)

...gold doesn't oxidise in air. If the gold contacts on your RAM sticks are oxidising you have other environmental problems.Pure gold doesn't oxidize/tarnish but the stuff coating the contacts isn't pure as it would be far to soft to withstand the insertion force.Sure reseating the memory a-few-times will scratch/gouge a conductive path in the oxidation usually ... But it's not guaranteed especially if you have a less than perfect (slightly loose, etc.) memory slot.
Then you have a problem with your memory slots which should be fixed since any cleaning of the RAM contacts will be a temporary fix.-4wd (September 15, 2009, 03:49 PM)
What kind of pencils have you been using? Alcohol isn't going to do anything to the oxidation layer that coats the contacts after time. Sure reseating the memory a-few-times will scratch/gouge a conductive path in the oxidation usually ... But it's not guaranteed especially if you have a less than perfect (slightly loose, etc.) memory slot.Might not hurt to clean said components (just their contacts) with a pencil eraser when reseating them.Never heard of that, but will add to my: ToDos-Stoic Joker (September 14, 2009, 05:57 PM)-jammo (September 14, 2009, 07:27 PM)
I wouldn't do that, some pencil erasers leave a residue which can then cause problems.-4wd (September 14, 2009, 08:26 PM)
LOL, this thread is getting difficult to follow, what with having only half a brain and all...*Shrug* Actually I was just trying to throw in a little stereo-type "salt" to liven it up a bit...and since the DMV always takes such a beating I thought it best to pick on someone else.
Very interesting to read your replies guys, thanks. Stoic Joker, you weed out ex McDonald's employees? Why is that? Here in .au it's considered to be a positive thing.

Oh, I got the impress that they meant have IT present for hiring of all roles (hence my wanton dismissal), but now I can't find the part so I suppose the point is moot. Still, what company would not have IT present for the hiring of a colleague?

What kind of feedback can you provide in an interview scenario Perry? I thought the suggestion was a bit much because I couldn't think of any helpful advice IT could offer HR (other than "This person has no idea about IT, don't hire them!!" of courseAs apposed to letting the typical HR drone with their personality chart & plasticine smile try discussing the technical merits of a damn thing?!? Good god man ... no secondary reason is required.). I'd be interested to know what IT can offer in that context.

Unfortunately no second MacI'm looking at that as a positive think; if one had two Macs, that would tend to obligate them to buy the T-shirt, start commenting on paintings & waring sandals, and to like the idea of paying $9 a cup for coffee ... It all spirals down hill from there really.-Carol Haynes (September 11, 2009, 01:27 PM)
