QUOTE(mreye @ Dec 22, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) He's only saying that so he doesn't take too much crap for killing it. Very cool, though. I'm not much of a geek in this field, but I've read and watched enough to know that this is big. That's what the guy who killed the last Dodo thought. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2006 -> 01:56 PM) Happily, everything I work on has been dead for at the very least a few million years, more often a few tens to hundreds of millions of years. but the earth is only 10,000 years old

Grammar question for Soxy... what's the proper usage for the possessive? "That's PA's Wife's car" that looks weird, is it right?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 22, 2006 -> 01:24 PM) there's a special level of Dante's Inferno reserved just for biologists to be eternally tortured by all the organisms they snufffed in the name of science. Most of my doctoral work involved captive predator-prey studies so my professional kill total is pretty low. But I have friends whose cumulative fish collections during their thesis years are probably in the neighborhood of several hundred K and I'm sure their afterlife will include at least a century of being captured and formalin-fixed in jars by huge monster fish. again..."scientists"

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) Mainly she's just worked in customer service type jobs, but no bank will hire her because she's never had any experience working at a bank (or at least that's what they say) So she's applied? While experience is great to land a job at a bank, for CSR or Teller positions people without any experience are hired all the time. My advice is for her to canvas all the banks that she'd be willing to commute to and apply at them all, barring that's what she'd want to do. To land a job, she should focus on her sales ability and customer service skills...as those are what banks are really looking for.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) If I recall correctly, they were still facing charges from another event a few months beforehand in Washington (not a rape, something a lot smaller). Might be what those involve. kidnapping and sexual misconduct or something like that. Maybe you're right.

it's says they still face other charges...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 21, 2006 -> 02:21 PM) Imagine that, American's want jobs that they can support their families with... Here is a silly thought, maybe we wouldn't need a minimum wage if we didn't allow half a million new illegals into the country every year? Maybe then we wouldn't allow corporations to artificially keep wage levels down, and we wouldn't need the government deciding living wages. But then again the wages are a secondary point. Its the actual jobs that are the point. I never hear that illegals do jobs American's don't want to do AT A HIGHER WAGE, the mantra is always they are jobs American's don't want, which is a load of crap IMO. All things being equal, a company would hire an illegal over a native anyday, even at the same wage, because they know they have absolute control over them. Do you think an illegal would file a complaint with OSHA? or start a labor union? Or file a lawsuit again their company? Of course not. If the company didn't think they would get caught, they would totally take the employee that they had complete control over, even if their were qualified, legal, interested workers at the same wage point. Didn't this guy start a labor union/worker's revolution?
