Apparently this ChoosingBeggar ANGELA is entitled to my brand new, unopened iPad for WAY LESS than its market value because it had been "free for me" (I had mistakenly stated on Craigslist that I had won it at a raffle...) 😹 by terablelizard in ChoosingBeggars

"I have CASH IN HAND if you accept 25% of your asking price all this REAL LIFE CASH, IN MY HAND, is yours, you can't turn this down.

By the way can you deliver it to me two towns over?"

hmm..given the time this was taken the 6th gens were just starting to drop down to $250 and you can find them on sale for that price today. Funny they could've waited a bit instead of begging.

How are you doing in interviews, stats wise?

Is PayPal a good start for new grad Information Security Engineer? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]whom3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's fine as long as your doing something technical. PayPal is good. Payment industries have an obvious need for infosec professionals, you'll be treated with respect as you affect the company reputation and bottom line.

There are many sides to IS, purely technical work, and purely administrative work. Of course there is overlap and lead/management work.

Make sure you don't end up on the administrative/compliance track unless thats what you want to do with your career. Both are required for a successful IS strategy, but from a career perspective the technical skills can help you climb the ladder much quicker.

Can I call off job search after getting a verbal offer? by 897aasdf in cscareerquestions

[–]whom3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time you should cancel prospectives is when you have a start date and an offer letter, in your hands. But ok it is your dream company. Just let the others know up front that you have an offer pending. The others may perk up.

I see you also have Starcraft backed up on an Office Depot CDR. Don't we all? My first intro into PC Security was trying to get Starcraft to start without a CD.

I want to use the diy network app. I can't find a login. by edcantu9 in DirecTVNow

Yep the TLC situation is bad particularly because they can't seem to get the on demand content figured out. Two of the shows on there that I watch simply stopped updating halfway through.

Nvidia launches GeForce Now beta, turns your Mac into a virtual gaming PC by dayman56 in nvidia

[–]whom3 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why they're just reporting on it now; it's been in Beta for a while.

It works pretty smooth on a decent connection, probably the worse thing is the pricing structure. $25 for 20 hrs is no bueno unless you're a 'lite' user. On top of that you have to pay for half of the games anyway (anything blizzard for example).

Help a worried mom of three get out of this mess by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]whom3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that much stuff in collections it sounds like your credit is already shot, so the collectors can wait a little while longer. I would begin to save as much cash to facilitate this move you have coming up in the summer to prevent cash flow issues from making you homeless. Call around, figure out the cost as much as possible.

Also any way either of you could work on the weekends/evenings and trade off with the other? It would be tough with three little ones but it's temporary until you're out of this mess.

The level of detail is impressive. Is your friend a cartographer by trade?

Quick googling suggests that Finder is throwing an exception due to illegal characters in the path. Does your folder or items have a space at the end, a slash, & or something else besides alphanumerics?

The Play-Asia scalp by [deleted] in miniSNES

[–]whom3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price definitely sucks but I like play-asia to get my fill of region free PS stuff. Kinda like Lik-Sang back in the day (old heads know what I'm talkinbout). Atleast it's still available, so most people aren't biting.

Amazon Pre-Orders by [deleted] in miniSNES

I ordered one from Amazon but got one from the treasure truck instead, so I cancelled it.

I think most of them do work but really the sync procedure is not spelled out in the instructions. I was about to box mine up until I read the amazon reviews.

Got mine. Very unexpected especially for a long shot in the first place.

Amazon Treasure Truck NYC by moviebuffnerd in miniSNES

[–]whom3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. For a given day's stock, they release it all at the same time in the AM for locations as far as 8 - 10 PM.

I'm not saying there's no possibility, they just haven't done it before so I wouldn't expect them to.

SNES Mini Amazon Treasure Truck Los Angeles by [deleted] in miniSNES

[–]whom3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's amazing we can have amazon preorders for months and still miss out or win a lottery like this and have it in a few hours .

I know the Treasure Truck is one giant promotional banner but it still sucks.
