2002 35' Donzi ZF with triple 250HP Mercs on it, poor guy gouged the whole side up againts his hydro-hoist, wanted his boat fixed as fast as possible so he could get it sent down to the Florida Keys to go fishing, so he paid me to take time off of my job, and fix his boat, so its like I did a side job while I was getting paid to work my normal job!

Bigtime- WOW, you didnt even mis-spell in that post, lol. I thought I knew it all, didnt go to college, now I fix boats, WEEEE! At least I made $3100 last week and didnt sell crack or heroin to do it!

I came pretty close to that last week, but it wasn't entirely moral. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

I pay my taxes, I vote, would be better to blame the voting public that put them in power then blame government itself.



Things are changing on the OS battlefield..... you wouldn't see MS diversifying so much if they didn't know it, but once you adopt a successful business model you are pretty foolish to abandon until absolutely necessary.



Bingo.



I dunno if Microsoft will be around in 5-10 years in all honesty, they've done fairly good at changing in the past but the company is so freaking huge it's hard to move it around.[/quote]

they need a sign that says

"not microsoft"

Wow, this really turned into an interesting discussion.



One of the main purposes of a college education is diverse learning. If you read The Two Cultures by C.P. Snow you'll see the age old issue of intellectuals and scientists not understanding each other. That's what universities try to avoid, by having people in every major take classes from both sides. If you just had to pass a test that's related to your field, then you wouldn't learn all of that other stuff. Maybe you don't want to know more than what's necessary, but it certainly isn't hurting society by teaching students more than their major.



On the other hand, I did get my job by proving that I could learn on my own, so I guess I can't complain. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Yeah, there's always that. The less I am truly interested in a subject, the less I retain. There has been a few classes that I was forced to take that really interested me, though. I guess it's a trade off.
