        So I've been working with Coca-Cola part time now for a little over a year, and lately It hasn't been great. Obviously I need to get another/new job soon, which I plan on. The thing that fucking bugs me is not getting paid. Yeah. My money is 7 weeks late now, I called every week and they said "Yeah we'll put your hours in". I figured that was it. I live in on the East Coast and my cheque comes from Ontario, so a few days or a week late cause of the mail isn't that big of a deal to me.

        I called back a couple days ago and the guy that "Puts your hours in", not my boss (apparently), 'forgot' too. What the fuck. The company that pays me is Manpower, (maybe if you're in Ontario or something you'll know it, I dont know) but the job is for CocaCola. This isn't the first time, I think once my money was on time. I can expect it to be 2-3 weeks late at least. They won't even directly deposit the funds into my account, which I think is retarded, because most part-time jobs will. I've got financial commitments, as do most, and while I am looking for another job I still need the money they owe me.

       I doubt there is any legal action I can take. I'll call more often and harass the shit out of them/do a shitty job at work, I don't know. This makes me really angry.  Ironically my friend and I (Who works for Pepsi, go figure) carpool sometimes in the morning, he tells me, and I know, that he gets paid on time. Bullshit.

       I was even promised Coke products for Christmas but I didnt get them : (


fuck coke go with pepsi


has anybody else NOT GOT PAID BECAUSE THEY FORGOT?


What the fuck? Is Chile seriously the only place in the world where a gobernment agency can fine the fuck out of an employer who doesn't pay in full and/or on time?
I seriously have a hard time believing this is such a revolutionary concept that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.

I mean seriously, it sucks when companies basically shit on you and the government just looks the other way, and all you can do is a civil lawsuit, those take years and cost a zillion dollars, not to mention it's not easy beating a big company.

Well, most people go through surgery anyway, in fact in a lot of tumors it's surgery first, chemo later.

Also Steel and for other people too:

Teratomas are basically fetal cell tumors, they form during gestation when cells fail to differentiate or migrate properly and when they go malignant they usually differentiate into all kinds of shit (I've seen pictures of removed teratomas containing skin, hair and teeth)

Well, if what you have is a teratoma... That would very probably and pretty much explain the whole "testicular cancer in lungs" thing.

Anyway, good luck and keep getting better... A big part of it is actually wanting to go through it.

Detroit Metal City.

I was wondering if anybody else watches this series.

It's based on a manga by the same name and it's about a country guy who goes to Tokyo in order to accomplish his dream and form a "trendy pop band" but somehow ends up fronting a really exaggerated death metal band with makeup a-la-KISS... Now, the guy hates death metal but has sort of a split personality, when he gets his make-up on he does some really whacky shit, and he basically still wants to make a pop-band...

The guy has to hide his Death-Metal persona from just about everyone in his life, while at the same time, holding the pose for his fans and public image of the band... The humor is really crude and the characters are very hilarious stereotypes.

It's apparently 13 ovas, out of which there's 5 out subbed... (They run 15 minutes each) They supposedly made a Live-action movie but it hasn't been released/subbed yet...

I know there's built-in bluetooth, for all I know perhaps this widget is built-in in the laptop. But the "Upload to an FTP and get a link placed on the clipboard" is just too great to pass.

Also, there's an application that slims other applications, deleting shit like languages you'll never use and basically saving you some HD.

Hmmm, Despite the huge bloatware, I'll really recommend Vuze, after using Transmission for quite a while and Going to Azureus/Vuze and then back to Transmission and finally back to Vuze... Vuze seems to be a lot faster.

Also, if you have a laptop, get a program called MiniBatteryLogger, it's paid but extremely worth it.

And, I'm not sure what else to recommend atm.

No. You NEED Office 2008 if you want to do any serious work with something else than Word. Especially Exel or Powerpoint, because when you do that shit you want it to be compatible with other people, especially Exels... And Open Office's compatibility with Exel 2008 is not very great.

Also, neat programs my bro/I could now never live with....

-Quicksilver, takes a few days to get used to but makes your life easier and keeps cluttering off your dock.
-Caffeine, allows disabling of power-saving/screensaver features with a single click on any screen. (I don't know if this is an issue on desktop though)
-mplayer as well VLC, I find that it is generally more friendly... VLC's new build has better compatibility for some stuff but runs a bit slower.
-There is an awesome widget that basically allows you to drag shit into it and upload it to Bluetooth devices OR to an FTP to which it puts a link on the clipboard.
-Pzizz.
-Can't remember any more, will get back to you later.

I had heard from this years ago too, It's not really news. And I think we will find a cure for this, I personally know quite a few people who have HIV and I can only wish a cure is found before they start having serious health problems. We have to take into consideration that it's a relatively new virus (I think it has around 25 years or so) so there is still plenty of time to make more discoveries and hopefully have a cure and a vaccine.
on the other hand things for people with HIV are a LOT better now, compared to before, I know some people that got the disease in the 80's and are still alive and kicking, after 20 years! that wasn't a possibility before...

My brother's father-in-law is an infectologist specialized in AIDS... And from what he's told me... Nowadays, with proper treatment, people do not die from HIV, period.


Also, genes would indeed be responsible for the proteins. Now... I always take these articles with a grain of salt until I've read a research paper on the matter, because dude... No one human is equal to another, in fact... If you knew how antibodies and immune cells are made (I mean, in a living organism), you'd say "WTF"

So, unless I could get more info on what kind of proteins they are, if they're enzymes, if they're inmunoglobulins, etc... I'm taking this with a grain of salt. Cures for cancer/AIDS/diabetes are discovered every other day... I mean it.

Quoting my Molecular biology teacher... "We are, right now... In this campus' lab, capable of curing type-1 diabetes in mice; now, for that to work on humans?..."

Okay, that's pretty annoying. That's like someone going "which do you like better, my white dress or my red dress" and someone replies "Yes."

Which part are you specifically saying no to, pray tell? You quoted the whole damn thing and there's about 6 things you could say no to. This would help me actually respond back instead of having to guess which part you're saying no to.

The first part, about vaccines curing everything.

No, this is not great news.
Several strategies have been developed over the years for combatting the AIDS virus. The problem is that, as a retro-transcripting virus, it's mutation potential is enormous. Eventually the AIDS virus can overcome a vaccine or whatever.

Also, immunity to AIDS is not something particularly new, there is a mutation of the gene that encodes the CCR5 receptor, called CCR5-Δ32, this variant is missing 32 base pairs in its sequence, and this leads to a disfunctional receptor to which CCR5 cannot bind, so the strains of HIV that use CCR5 as a co-receptor cannot infect these cells. Of course, this brought some other secondary effects like increased vulnerability to other diseases.


I can't name one well known disease (outside of STI's and some cancers, obviously.), that hasn't been cured by vaccination or injections? STI's, AIDS, and HIV are the only ones I know, pretty much everything is cured in some way, or CLOSE ENOUGH to might as well be cured. Mebe I'm missing something tho, but human body's are easily adaptable and can eventually overcome anything, and with enough research and a breakthrough or two, it's only time.

You're basically saying that you don't think we'll never ever have contact with aliens. It's only a matter of time. Maybe it won't happen next year, or 5 years from now, or 10 years from now, or 100 years from now, or hell, even 1,000 years from now, but eventually it is bound to. This is still a really important step towards that, but it's going to happen some time, it's just a matter of when that time is.

Uh... No?

Is this a serious topic or another one of your "articles"?

Regardless...

The only time I've actually felt like that was when I pretty much lost all but two of my best friends over an INTERNET ARGUMENT that spanned like 2 or three days (I was abroad at the time)

p.s. by best friends I meant real-life friends.

Well... This was solved after fiddling alot with the configuration.
In the end, setting the old router as an access point worked great and allowed me to do everything I need.

Whoever it concerns may lock this topic if s/he pleases now.

In the end, I did it and it just worked...
Also, it's a PC and a Macbook.

Anyway, I was wondering now... Is there a way to have the other router work as an access point rather than a separate net? Or do I need an Airport Express for that?

Here's the situation:

Sometime ago I bought an Airport Extreme and am extremely happy with it (Not to mention my transfer rates between PCs went up noticeably due to the Airport being N)

Since then, my previous (and quite awful) G router is stored safely on the depths of some drawer in my room.


Now, my brother recently got the 3G Iphone and he basically set the Airport to 2.4ghz A/B/G compatible, which pretty much renders the whole N benefit inexistant, not to mention the performance in general decreased. (And it makes the money spent on the router pretty much a waste)

So, discussing it yesterday, we got the idea of plugging the old router back, IN ADDITION to the Airport...

Is it possible to set the Airport Extreme to 5ghz only and plug the other router via LAN into the airport or something like that?
What should I expect when doing this?

Basically what I'm expecting is to have a 5ghz N network for the PCs and laptops and a separate 2.4ghz G network for the DS, Iphone and everything else that doesn't support N... Is this possible with what I currently own?

because pirating is the point where it becomes technically illegal and where most people bash you for doing so. but to bash someone for borrowing a game from a friend is generally considered retarded. I know it doesn't make sense anyway, but whatever.

According to media conglomerates, you're wrong.
Because you own a disc and they rent you a license to view the content recorded on it. And these licenses are personal and untransferrable. So, if you're borrowing it from a friend... It's the same as pirating it. In other words: Media companies are fucking retarded AND I think copyrights (At least in their current form) will become obsolete in a not-too-distant future.

I don't think it's worth getting a worse image quality with component just because it's easier to plug in.

Dude, it's a N64/PSX emulator, what do you want? HDMI? That's retarded. Also, since component/rca cables are analog, the quality of the cable matters, so... If he gets a good cable, it'll look good. (You could try a monster cable, one of those belkins, etc)

In fact, it's probably a good idea to remember that the actual consoles are usually plugged in via RCA.

Try to get a RCA/Component out because the sole fact that they are neat and round (AND COLOR CODED) tends to scare people who don't know much about pcs less.

I'd apply but over the years I've come to realize I share virtually no interests with 99% of the community's population.
