@Minion-Queen said in NTG is Family. Period.:

Well you always have to have the one annoying family member... or is it family member that is annoyed... oh whatever

Am I that annoying family member? Lol

Tecmo Bowl... there is a name that I have not heard in a long, long time.

Interesting ... I hope it does not go down the same way as TAY did

I was thinking the same thing.

Good points.

But that's what hearing protection is for. I got nothing for the joints though.. lol

Hearing protection only goes so far.

Hearing protection is worth a ton of money. I'm not even kidding. 15 minutes of listening to jackhammering can cause damage that never heals.

Buying ear plugs for a meager $1-2 will/does prevent that damage.

Some of that damage.

Not to mention the fact that there's a belief (no idea if it's true or not) if your hobby becomes your job, good chances are you'll eventually hate that hobby.

I can safely say that this has not been the case for me. I've been around computers and made it my hobby almost my entire life. I even finally got a job in it, and I do it all day every day... (I'd do it more if I could, lol).

I spend a large portion of my waking life in front of a computer. I talk to my wife all day via Facebook, I talk with you guys on here all day, except when I'm actually needed to be AFK... and I come home and tinker with computers too, while still chatting with folks and talking to the folks at the house... I still love my job, and what I do.

I don't have as much time to devote to it any more...but for good reasons (family!).

Chatting via Facebook is hardly IT related. Granted there are tons of non IT people I know that work on computers all day (as in PowerPoint/Excel/ERP, etc) and they totally want to disconnect from the computer completely at night.
But wanting to be online is simply social, not really computer related, just happens to be way more convenient online than going to the bar or where ever to socialize.

What you say is very true. But for me, the fact that I can chat with you guys and my wife all day as I'm working is a large part of my job satisfaction, and it makes me feel much less disconnected from my family and friends while I'm at work.

Not quite the level of freedom that @scottalanmiller has, but lightly leaning in that direction.

Nothing new. Was very happy when FIOS was finally available in my area. Make sure to call and complain.

Yes, I play it sometimes. It is fun, but KOTOR is my goto

@RojoLoco
Are you going to say that Gandhi was a selfish asshole screaming 'look at me'? If so you will get many people who disagree with you, and they would probably be right.

Gandhi was assassinated 30 years before I was born, so I have no idea, nor do I really care. But I'm sure people who were adults when he was alive and active could have seen his motives, whether noble or otherwise. Or maybe they couldn't. Like I said, I don't really care one way or another.

@tiagom said in AR Drone 2.0 - Install Script Help:

The scripts are to be run from a computer.

The scripts specify the drones ip..

DRONEIP=${1:-"192.168.1.1"}

Doesn't make sense to specify it if it was suppose to run locally on the drone.

Yeah now I look at it makes more sense lol. Will install a desktop Linux distro tomorrow and try.

This is so fake.

Yet not unbelievable if we think about the world we live in.

Huzzah! Good post. It's always good to find new sources of information.

@thanksajdotcom said in What was your FIRST IT job? And how did you get it?:

IT in any sense of the word, and being used loosely? A technician at a local retailer. First REAL IT job? Was half of a two-man team at a bond-trading desk.

Where you the top half or the bottom half?

@RojoLoco

Sounds great, but won't you need a firearms license for this?

A slightly different recipe ..

Watermelon

Feta

Arugula (Rocket)

Balsamic Vinegar Reduction (Heat Regular Balsamic in a saucepan until it's syrupy)

Cherry Tomatoes (Optional)

Mint Leave (Optional)

Dice the watermelons into cubes, and lay atop a bed of aragula... add cut tomatoes into halves, and chop the mint real fine, and sprinkle .... drizzle the balsamic reduction on ... add a smidge of pepper...

Et tu, Brute?

I read it from CURL once in a while.
