I agree with the message. We don't need Yet Another Social Network, for the only purpose of sharing with your friends.

Reminds me of this comic: http://xkcd.com/927/

Also great, the Minecraft version of Bohemian Rhapsody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4qQHWP0GXg

I disagree about the keyboard. My thinkpad's laptop is much more confortable for me than full sized keyboards.

Lenovo makes desktop versions of the Thinkpad keyboard, sounds like you might like one of those: http://www.amazon.com/ThinkPad-USB-Keyboard-with-TrackPoint/...

I think this question would be more appropiate in http://stackoverflow.com than here. Your doubts are pretty technical for the scope of this community.

" For example, instead of saying your position was for a guild in EVE, state that it was a leadership role in a 2500+ strong online community. Emphasize the elements of the position that directly relate to the skills that a prospective employer would hire you for"

I couldn't have said it better

Even though your in-game experience could really have been helpful to your work skills, I think putting this in your resume might backfire, PR departments wouldn't take this seriously.

So far, that has been my thinking. It has helped me build quite a few IRL skills.

Having the skills is far more important than how you acquired them. I'd just emphasize your communication skills and organizational abilities in broad terms, unless your interviewer is also an EVE online addict. Then, by all means, disclose it.

I understand, and other players might understand. But the people who could read your resume and potentially hire you probably wouldn't.

I'm just starting with Rails and I've found Heroku the easiest Rails hosting provider. They don't give you a shared server machine, you upload your application directly, and there's even a free usage tier if your app is low-traffic.

Using git, you just push the app to Heroku with your credentials and you're set.

Also, you can upgrade or downgrade the maximum performance as needed by the spikes of traffic so you never pay for more that you use.

Lastpass has freed me from generating complicated passwords and remembering them. It also syncs between all my browsers and even works in the iPhone.

I couldn't ask for more.

You mean passwords?

If so, I've become very confortable with LastPass. There are even a lot of passwords I don't really know as they were automatically generated and are automatically filled-in

There was a similar ranking some months ago involving searching for "vatican" in Google http://news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/7931120/vatican-search...
