Get your HD TV with 1080P and DVR.
GTFO there and EAD!

Ｉcan't, my FICO is DOA.

BrianR · 08-19-2008, 10:01 AM

Got one already. I just don't know why the picture seems larger than the screen and the captions are off the screen and unreadable.

OMG, IDK...I'm not too much into TV, I prefer to OD on the PC, which has DSL. OK?

dar512 · 08-19-2008, 10:44 AM

Programmers love TLA. BTW, TLA is a TLA.

I work on desktop applications, so I use OOD and OOP. I've looked into ASP and JSP, but I don't really need to know them at this point.

There's a small group that does XP here, but it hasn't really caught on.

We're a global company. All our products have NLVs. So we spend a fair bit of effort on I18N and L10N.

Sometimes I need to work from home. So I have DSL so I can VPN over the CAT5 through my ISP to the POC.

I am a defense contractor working for the US Navy.

Your acronyms are puny.

:p

Since we have more acronyms than the military, here goes:

Fill out your FAFSA to get your EFC which will determine your eligiblity for FSA and OIG or OCOG and FSEOG. If you fail miserably you may get caught up in a SAP calculation or if you cease to attend all your classes you will go into R2T4 calculations. Better to persevere and get your AAB, AAS, AB, AS or perhaps even enter the POA. You could go for your BA or BS...then maybe an MBA. I'll have to consult the AVG to determine correct reporting on your ISIR of your IRS numbers, including EIC. Don't forget to report SS and TANF. You might be eligible for STEMM funding through the COF initiative. You could also qualify for ACG or SMART funding if you completed a RHSP. Please answer if you have a HS diploma or GED or we have to check your COMPASS scores for ATB. And so on and so on...

Yeah, WTF?

edit: I used to work for defense contractors, too, Pie! Acronyms out the wazoo, but I was still shocked at the all the acros we use on a daily basis.

My husband was USN. He'd start talking letters and soon I'd be saying "IDKWTM"*, his clue to start speaking civilian.

*I Don't Know What That Means

I also work for a company that contracts to the USGOV, specifically FEMA, so I spend most of my day dealing with the SFHA, FIRMs, LAG, NGVD29/NGVD88 and the flustercluck that is the MIP. I really hate that webtool... more often than not, the contractor folks who built/maintain it are are MIA, the database is gone FUBAR, the SPs fix three things but then break eight... and a lot of it is WYSIWYG and what we get is high systolic/diastolic mm Hg.
