I've had almost exactly this same experience (I do web design/front end dev and get contacted about backend positions semi-frequently), and that's pretty much what always boils down to. Finding qualified people for programming positions is tough so recruiters tend to cast a very wide net without doing a ton of initial research. No reason not to reply. If it's legitimate at the very worst you'll make a contact with someone at that firm. If it's not legit, you'll have lost nothing except a few moments of your time.

I want to move my Wii U out of the living room and in to the computer room, so I actually get some use out of the drat thing (being a hopeless computer/internet junkie/goon, I don't leave the office much). Is there such a thing as an A/V receiver or switcher or whatever they call them now, meant for e.g. computer monitors and their attendant, usually tiny, 3.5mm-jack speakers, as opposed to the usual receivers (big as a house, hot as a desert, meant for home theater 5.1 or whatever systems)?

Rubies posted:I'm over thinking something that happened on LinkedIn today, and wondering if it's common. I got a message from someone saying that they were very impressed by my resume and they want to schedule a call asap so I can interview for a software engineering job. Thats great but I don't have a software engineer resume, I have a Web designer portfolio. Placing someone in a Software Engineering position can earn a recruiter dumb amounts of cash. Like, some places will pay $30K+ for senior positions. $10K isn't unreasonable for a more junior position. Some recruiters take a shotgun approach, and just throw bodies at interviews, hoping that someone will get through. Both Software Engineering and Web Design are programming jobs, right? Like, as long as you don't give the recruiter personal information like your SSN, the most it can cost you is the time you spend interacting with this dude.

Thanks dudes. I'm just gonna give it a try and see what happens. If they give me a runaround or have me chasing a carrot I'll just say whatever but I guess it can't hurt.

What's a good video recording system to get for five or six IP security cameras (these, to be precise)? I'm a techie and I've set up IP cameras before, but only for live streaming, and I don't know very much at all about NVRs. Does anyone have a good place to start learning about these systems? (Does there happen to be a thread on the forums for IP video systems?) e: Would something like a NVR4208 work?

You know how dashboard cameras run all the time, and just overwrite old footage in specific time intervals unless you push a button to save that specific clip? Is there an app like that for phones? Something I can install that will let me turn on and run my video camera for long stretches of time, overwriting the footage unless I push a button and tell it to save that specific clip?

Someone recommended CaptureSync to me, which has the advantage for my purposes of not requiring a standalone device and therefore a LOT cheaper. But it might not be secure enough for an actual security system.

Try the legal questions thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3266659 They'll probably tell you A) get a lawyer B) anyone can sue you for anything and it still costs a bundle to defend yourself even if they have no chance in hell of winning - how chill is this athlete matters a good deal.

Why not just write about a fictional character? If the answer is "More people will buy my book about LeBron James being an alien than about some fictional character being an alien" you've got your answer---you're trying to make money off of LeBron James's public image, and he may not like that.

I think you can if it's a parody though? So if you write Lebron James is an alien for the purpose of comedy, that's ok.

Memento posted:When it comes to Microsoft Access I don't know poo poo about dick, but I've inherited a database from a former colleague and now it's my responsibility. I've been able to google around and figure out most of the stuff I need to do, but I'm a little stuck on one thing. If I have a text entry box (for example, to search a particular field) is there a way to have some text in that box that disappears when you click into it? What property do I edit for that? It's been a little while, but you would want to do two functions in Access. You can right click the form/field in edit mode and go to the properties. Then check the Event tab code:code:This is not the exact coding because it's been a while since I've coded in Access, but those should be simple enough to get you started. EDIT: Just realized that you might have to put a flag on this one, otherwise every time you clicked in the text field, it would clear the box to a null value. Not the end of the world, but kind of annoying. It would be more like: code:CzarChasm fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Jun 17, 2015 |

HBO says that "All members of a household can watch HBO GO at the same time," and seem kinda cagey about giving out a number. This probably means that there's a manual override, and they can set the number per-account, and don't want you to know about it.

Hit up the tea thread in gws/something offal http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3437984 Though it'd help to get specific. Do you want to brew it yourself or but it pre bottled? Argo tea has some nice flavors though I'm not sure if they fixed their improper bottling that results in moldy tea. Adagio.com is agood place to stay for inexpensive loose leaf stuff. Lastly, stay away from teavana as they overprice everything and sometimes sell tea with more twos than leaves.

On the most recent Astronomy Cast, while talking about the products of fission, Pamela kept saying something that sounded like "nucleotides" in reference to the child isotopes created during the fission process. The only nucleotides I know of are in DNA. What is the word she was using (or meant to use)?

I have my thermostat set to 86 F while I'm at work, and at 77 when I'm home. When it ticks over, about an hour before I get home ('round about 5 PM) it's about 100-105 outside. It takes about three more hours for it to actually reach 77F; until then it's running full tilt. After that it's running about 50% of the time. On days when I get home early, this means I'm sweating like a hog indoors for a few hours. It doesn't really cool down outside until around 7 PM, and even then never below 80 degrees or so. At these kinds of conditions, is it really even saving me any money to let the temperature rise during the day? It seems like the AC running at absolute full tilt for several hours ruins any savings I'd get from it running at half-tilt during the day. (I know at more reasonable temperatures / quality of home cooling, it's always a savings to let it off during the day, but I wonder if the math breaks down in my conditions.)

You can probably save more money by lowering the temperature you'll let it be during the day, so that it'll be closer to what you want when you get home. It should only run in a few more bursts during the day, and the rampdown to night time temp should be much shorter. You're already letting your coolest temp be 77, so you're already saving a good deal of power to start with.

Raimundus posted:1. When flying in the U.S., can I pack alcoholic beverages in my checked luggage? For 1, "According to the FAA, there are no limits on how much alcohol you can pack in your checked luggage if the alcohol by volume is less than 24 percent (generally beer and wine). Between 24 and 70 percent, however, the FAA limits passengers to 5 liters." For 2, that's not likely to happen unless something is going horribly wrong with the flight in general.

As you have probably heard by now, Donald Trump raised a stink by using Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" to launch his presidential campaign. Trump says he paid ASCAP the licensing fee to use the song, but Young disagrees. What is the law concerning this? Did Trump need to get Young's permission?
