Database Develop

Developers! i have an idea =)

Guys and Girls, I think i might have an idea that could generate money.. regarding augmented reality applications and gps locating. You could make a treasure hunt! make it exciting, promote it, put an entry fee of one bucks, and it would be awesome..I think =D think about it! use a national holiday if you could, make a patriotic theme (that made me think, you could make an event for every holiday!think angry birds seasons) I think this is an idea that could make something if executed well. I'm not a developer so I'm just giving an idea..I don't know how hard it is to implement, but there goes my 2 cents =)

Go to hell Apple. Apple now owns the patent to any "predefined gesture used to unlock". If your doing anything with a left to right gesture. Expect the Apple Gestapo to sue your sawks off.

The original patent was submitted back in 2005. And Apple was just now granted it.

LMAO they are pathetic.

Apple is becoming a dictatorship.

I think they should patent the strategy of suing the crap out of people to try and get what they want instead of innovation.

Ah. Well at least they produced a working product using it unlike various patent trolls. If they submitted. It that far back I have no issue with it. It's also a major factor in their lock screen notification system.

Kinda like the same notification they ripped off of android right?

patent this:
The letter S, A, M, U, N, G
(Samsung, another S not included because there's already an S)
and this:
patent the English, Spanish, and Mandarin language.

Well in one of the many many Steve job biographys out there he was quoted as saying " I dispise android. I really do. Having them run out of the mobile market is just not enough. I want them destroyed. I want them to have no existance on this planet. I (Steve Jobs) will spend every penny in Apples bank, and every resource in my power to make sure it happens.".
I'm at work I will find the proper links and citations later .
Later on he was also quoted as saying " Why should some one (Android) be getting fame and money off of a stolen OS, with stolen features? It makes no sense to me as to why so many people love and adore such a dishonest company."
When I read that I was left speechless. Talk about Hippocrates.

What do you believe to be a good reason to get a tattoo?

I was arguing this with my professor. I cannot find a good reason to get a tattoo! I did jokingly say you could get one to cover up an embarrassing tatto lol. What do you guys think?

A good reason? Okay. An evil villain has taken over the world and is destroying everything and killing everyone. An old tattooist does tattoos that give the person super powers. You get the tattoo and save humanity. Plus the tattoo is sick and you get tons of b***hes.

That was a really cr4p reason until the final sentence

Military pride is a legit reason. To this day, if I see an older man with a wrinkly Military based tattoo, he gets much respect.

Good reason? You're really drunk on a Saturday night, and it seems like a really good idea at the time.

I designed and drew all of mine. Full sleeve on one arm and randoms on the other. I thought it would be the best way to show my work.
Good thing too, because all the original drawings were destroyed in a fire a few years ago. I'm glad I went through with getting them tattooed.

That's behind every tat on me. It's gotta mean something and you've got to believe it will always mean something,

Good and bad are not quantifiable things. You can't measure goodness. There is no such thing as a "good" reason. There are only reasons. So anybody who has a reason has a "good" reason. It's not done for you to agree with it.

I don't see a good reason. When I see people with tattoos, I don't think of them in a good way. It just looks stupid. That's just me though.

My humble opinion...
There's no real answer. My first tattoo was a giant 8-bit pixelated Mega Man on my leg. I got it because when I was a kid, my pops lost his business in Boston and we were stuck moving down to Florida where my grandparents lived. We moved into their 2-bedroom "manufactured" home in the middle of a retirement community. My folks saw that my brother and I had no kids in the neighborhood to play with, so they got us an NES and a copy of Mega Man 2 for Christmas that year. I played that game for months on end, well past the point where my parents were obviously annoyed with the music in the game. For that first few months until my family got back on its collective feet, Mega Man was my best friend. Fast forward almost 20 years later, I decided I wanted to get a tattoo, and the Blue Bomber was my choice. I was actually a little afraid that when I went back to visit my mom, she was going to freak out about me getting inked. But instead, she immediately recognized it and even thought it was a great tattoo to get.
The moral of this story? The only reason that matters is the one you rationalize yourself. To most people, a Mega Man tattoo is a silly and nerdy thing to do. To me, it's a silly and nerdy thing to do that reminds me of how much my parents cared about my happiness as a child, no matter what. I'm happy with it, and I couldn't care less if the rest of the world doesn't see or know the reason for it. Every tattoo I have means something to me, and I'm the only one who needs to know it.

I personally cannot think of a reason I'd get one. Other than the military pride that was mentioned because of the whole brotherhood the army gives you. I just don't see myself getting one, but I've heard quite a good amount of reasons for others.

I think there is no good reason simply because it's hard to remove a tattoo if you don't like this tattoo any more.

anyway, well one good reason to get a tattoo would be because you are extremely compassionate about art.
well that's my reason.. i'm planning to get an awesome tat on my nape as soon as i turn 18 or something, but that tat has to have a significant meaning to my life of course

Twenty years on and i hate my tattoos now. Given the choice i would still have tattoos in the same places, but they would be different tattoos. Therein lies the problem though. Your tastes change from year to year as you yourself change, but tattoos are permanent.

I agree with Card83 and a few others that have said, it's should mean something to you, not just something that is cool at the time like a barb wire arm band because you will come to hate it.

Well ive always said i would only have my kids names on me.
And when my son was born I had his name tattooed onto my chest. And if i have any more kids then i will be putting there names on my chest aswell.
But apart from that i will not be having any other tattoo on me as anything else wont mean anything to me apart from "looking nice"

A friend of mine got the name of his best friend tattooed inside his wrist when said best friend took his own life two years ago. As a way to remember, and a reminder. They were very close.
And there are always more practical reasons for tattoos. You just don't always consider them. There are a lot of soldiers who get their data tattooed on various bodyparts, just in case. IED's really don't care if you want to keep you bodyparts attached, and thus the tattoos makes IDing easier.
Personally I don't have any. I'm not on good terms with needles.

There's already a thread for reviews which can be found here.
''Absolute power corrupts absolutely, but absolute powerlessness does the same''

It's an OK review but the dude just keeps saying how much he loves everything, it's starting to annoy me.

I stopped watching when the reviewer ask why did Google put quad-core in N4 when they only put dual-core A15 in N10.

This guy is an idiot.

Tips for Job Interview

I am going for my job interview tomorrow to a store comparable or better than Best Buy. I am applying for product specialist and I was wondering for some tips. I will have my resume with me there, of course. I'll elaborate on this topic, and I'll add more to this post later

Look your best:
Haircut
Formal as appropriate look like you are ready to do the job you are interviewing for (without dressing down)
Phone in your pocket...don't even be seen looking at your phone at all
Courteous "please and thank you" go a long way
Introduce yourself
Say only what is relevant to the position don't go on about past accomplishments
Have a pen and note paper handy
Look the interviewer in the eye when speaking to them
Lighthearted humor can be used when the interview is winding down if interviewer is friendly (your call some people are tough to read)
Above all show confidence with respect
Just a few tips from an old interviewer (me)
These are a few things I always appreciated when I talked with people wanting a position in my work area.
Best of luck there...

Turn up early don't have bad breath
With all behavioural questions make the answer about you what you can do.
Talk about past accomplishments!! That is how you demonstrate what you have done and therefore what you can bring to the table. But always focus on your party in achievements. What you did not your colleagues (otherwise they will want to interview them).
Strong hand shake
Eye contact
Have a bottle of water to cure dry mouth
Research role and company
Always have questions.
Close the interview!! Important!!! "do you have any reservations about employing me"
Have an answer in case they do

as a human resource development and management graduate,
all i can say is that you should just be confident and learn what you are going to say,
anything on your resume can be used against you so be prepared on all aspects,
know the job, company and environment,
do SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities, traits) assessment prior to engaging in an interview,
tell them you like bacon.

Just be confident, be friendly, punctual and ready to admit your mistakes.
It goes without saying, don't lie about anything. But always remember the difference between lies and the incomplete truth.
Be formally dressed and use a cologne or deo in moderate quantities. Some people favor clean shaven interviewees. So you might wanna do that.
If you do only one thing, regardless of anything else, it'll at least double your chances.
Don't look confident.
BE confident.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, so that you can inspire the interviewer to believe in you.
