    Me too. The /l option can be useful to, it displays the results of the command without actually doing anything.

    That sounds nice. I'm used to no supplies, no autosave, and shit comes out of nowhere

    Atari 2600 days.

    I actually prefer games that don't autosave. I don't mind a feature that allows the player to save whenever they want. Eliminating autosave makes you think more about the consequences of your actions.

    Yes, but also results in heavy amounts of frustration in case you forget to save.

    that's life

    You know, I have never actually seen that show. I have heard about it but it just never made it into my viewing cycle. Is it available on Netflix or anything?

    It is not up for instant streaming per a streaming subscription. It can be purchased on Amazon Instant Video and XBOX Video or DVD.

    It is well worth a viewing. Like I mentioned, overlook the aged special effects and 80's attire/hair. The root of the story is about how blind many people can be to totalitarianism. it is worth watching both V and V: The Final Battle...the weekly 80's series, as mentioned, started strong but ended very badly (IE badly written and acted)...

    Sounds interesting, but I cannot fathom paying for such garbage....lol

    Exactly, who knows where their loyalty really lies. If they can be convinced to make a total life altering decision without thinking of the consequences. What is to stop them from doing that again?

    Yes, these sound like potentially very dangerous people. The chances that they will ever be valuable members of society seems unlikely. Fifteen and seventeen years old is not young and they are able to make decisions like adults. These are not kids and this shows a severe lack of critical thinking and ethics.

    Also I got here a bit late. Always wear pants even to a phone/skype interview. I have had a few phone interviews where I wore full business formal. Dressing for the occasion adds a sort of formality that people can hear in your voice. It can also make you sound more confident, at least from my experience. Although I've never sat at the other end of the table/phone...

    I agree that you should not half dress - you will be stressed knowing you can't move or whatever. Just a bad idea.

    I've always been told about the dress well to "sound confident" thing. I don't believe this though. For me, at least, it is the opposite. I'm more confident when I am more comfortable. I went to a private school that made us dress up every day because it made for "better learning", but the reality was that it just made us more distracted all of the time because we were uncomfortable. Maybe some people feel confident when dressing formally, but that is an arbitrary confidence association for certain people at best and definitely has no universal application. For the reasons that it would make some people confident, it would make others the opposite. And most, I assume, it does not affect at all.

    I recommend the orginal KOTOR for the best experience of this style. DA is great too. Its more refined than KOTOR, but the story line and different places you visit in KOTOR can't be beat.

    I love KOTOR too. But I like DAO better.

    The first time I played through KOTOR, I used laser rifles and pistols with my main character. It amounted to all sorts of useless upgrades when I finally became a jedi. That is the fun part about RPGs though. Building your characters wrong the first time, makes it fun in the long run.

    Never use blasters! Blades to lightsabers all the way!

    I know that now, but I didn't know that the first time I played. Blasters really suck in that game. Carth is the only person that can actually use blasters.

    Never bring a gun to a knife fight! If you can use swords in a game, in whatever form they are, always do it! Besides, it's a Star Wars game. How can you not just know that you'll be a Jedi (or the most evil Sith ever apparently)? Lol

    I have played a few Star Wars games where you never become a Jedi.

    @nervo welcome to the MangoLassi community! Great to see you here. We always welcome visitors over from the NodeBB forums. Great to see other users of the platform checking us out. To the best of our knowledge this is the busiest NodeBB platform out there. Every post that you see here started here, nothing here migrated from another platform or community. We built MangoLassi from day one on NodeBB.

    There is no Desi connection, I am afraid. The title was proposed a bit as an inside joke but a bunch of people liked it and asked to keep it. So it stuck. A very popular forum that is much like this one makes references to spicy food heavily and, of course, the perfect compliment to a very spicy mean is a delicious Mango Lassi. Hence the name.

    Our community is very international, though. We have people from everywhere here and more joining from all over the world all of the time.

    My new client scope has been too small to be much of a sample yet, but I definitely do not go into prospective clients thinking things have to just be tossed and replaced. I have said many times to clients, "this is not how I would do it, but it is a valid way to do it."

    No question that part of being good at that has to be accepting that there are many ways to skin the cat and just because it isn't your preferred approach does not mean that it is wrong. Maybe it is even better. Everyone tends to have certain products and approaches that they will use if not given some reason not to. That might be installing Active Directory or it might be using Cisco routers or maybe installing CCleaner on every desktop. All valid options, but are they the best in every case?
