It is funny, and the beauty is that due to the design of OPI layers, the air (layer 1) and birds (layer 2) are technically as valid as any other protocol, albeit with a very high error rate.
RFC 2549[^] updates the protocol with a QoS component.
As a layer 2 protocol it does not require any changes for IPv6.

That only gets a response if you apply for jobs in Europe or Africa.

I don't have a resume or a CV and I don't think that I ever had one.
Guess this comes from working for the same company for so long.
Easter eggs is something that I have always done though.
Everything that I have written has Easter eggs within.
Always have done and always will do.
Oh and by the way wtf is IPoAC?
Oh yeah and if I get retrenched, sacked or something I might need your help with a resume/CV with Easter eggs.

 Thanks for the explanation.
I would have never guessed.
Pigeon English would be a suitable language for addressing IPoAC issues then I guess.

I've seriously considered putting something like the resumes I have posted at job boards:
"Please include the word "asparagus"* in the subject line to show that you've actually read my resume. If you do that, I guarantee a reply."
Then if I get an unsolicited email about a job and it doesn't contain the word "asparagus" in the subject I know it's probably not worth reading.

I'm rather partial to chocolate myself.
I went semi-retired a few years ago and only do word of mouth now. Even before doing that, I skinnied my resume to a single page letter of some three paragraphs with about five bullets in it. The resume I did use when I got a response left out the first 10 years or so, but was always tailored to the respondent. Why do that when five minutes of letter tailoring works.
Ultimately, word of mouth is best, though. Let someone else supply the donuts.

Barely Believable Comments
Blatantly Biased Content
Let me add that, now that I've have 'cut the cable' (several weeks, now) I get to see news from all over the world at my beck-and-call.
Skynews: Very often beneath contempt
CCTV: Surprisingly fair (except when it involves China, directly)
CNN: Reaching for the bottom as a vocation (Wolf Blitzer is major A$$)
Most commonly, it is lies created by obvious omission(s).
Then . . . I see the sponsors (CNN), and targeted major audiences (BBC) and I realize it's really the best news money can buy.

You think that the BBC is bad? LOL, I watch BBC World News because it's the least obnoxious news channel in the US

But, much as presentation appears professional, there 'agenda' make them disgusting.
It's a matter of form vs. substance. Ultimately, I watch news for substance.
Here's one that really galled me: in Gaza (where the BBC agenda was in full force). A man was picking through the rubble of his home. A shot rang out and he fell dead. The reporter immediately said 'it must have been an Israeli sniper' without least least shred of evidence or investigation. And there was a war going on - yet, on the BBC streams, virtually the only time one saw Hamas armed was via video produced by Hamas, themselves. Images of toys in rubble - but they were clean toys. Dust and debris everywhere, yet no one thought to question this? Or analysis: did it not occur to anyone that if 70% of the civilian casualties were youngish men that many might not be civilian casualties? Take away the gun and a street-fighter becomes a civilian. And apparently there are many a video of Hamas executing people in the streets - but only on YouTube (google: gaza excutions video). Why were these neither shown nor mentioned by BBC/Sky/CNN/CBS/NBC/Newsy/CCTV/CBS/ad nauseum? Wasn't newsworthy enough? Ditto for (google: gaza reporter intimidation). The latter should be headline news!
The latter, in fact, is the principal (on the narrow slice I chose, Gaza), for demonstration purposes. What could possibly be more offensive to a reputable news organization than having its news reporting censored via fear, intimidation, and violence?
Perhaps, with the New European Demographic, they're just plain afraid?

They're all biased, they all have agendas, all the major news outlets respond to corporate and government pressure.
The closest I've seen to a truly independent take on the news is The Young Turks, and they didn't last long on cable. And of course they are biased too, the difference being that it's their own biases rather than that of their sponsors.

Try the No Agenda Show[^], with John C. Dvorak (long-time tech columnist) and Adam Curry of late 80s MTV fame. They started their podcast in response to exactly what you're saying, and don't take sponsorship of any kind except for their own listeners.

If I'm gonna watch streaming video news, I tend to watch NHK World[^], from Tokyo. Half-hour news on the hour.
Al-Jazeera[^] provides interesting perspectives, but it's very much Middle-East centric. Same with France 24[^], for some reason.
Russia Today[^] was kinda interesting, but the link hasn't worked for me for weeks now.
The Pentagon Channel[^] and of course C-SPAN[^] have the expected propaganda, if you're up for a laugh.
Anyone have other interesting (and reliable) streaming video links?

I agree wholeheartedly about CCTV. The first time I watched it, I half-expected it to be very big-brotherly and Stalinesque, but its world news seems a lot more straight and agenda-free than any other news I've watched.

All this nice weather we've been having here in central illinois, and it's going to be 95 in St. Louis the day of my fights. The fights are "Under the big top" , which means outside.
No big deal. I just thought "yeah, sounds about right".

I noticed today there are now counter demonstrations. They are demonstrating against the other demonstrators, to properly show them how to demonstrate.
wonder if there are still FBI there as well.

do you get nervous before a fight? I would be very nervous.

A little bit, but not that bad. When I see the opponent I start to get a little more nervous, but I just try and keep my head right.
You got to keep your head on strait and remember that you trained for it. You know where to protect so you don't get knocked out by a stray blow. You know what you're goina do, and you have a game plan. It's more just trying to stay calm so you can do what you trained to do. The adrenaline makes it more difficult. Until it's lower, it's hard to do anything but react. If you train enough, your reactions will still be right. Either way, you got about 15 minutes to work it out.
You just have to smash the other guy with your will. It's a little scary, but you just go in and do your thing. It's just as exciting as it is scary, and there's nothing in the world like it. It's a lot of fun.

There really isn't anything to worry about. If you're getting beaten to a pulp the ref will stop it. You also have the option to stop it at any time (tap out). You have to be careful that you don't get something broken if you're on the ground.
The fear typically comes from pain or bodily harm. You don't have to worry about that when you're fighting, that won't be an issue until after. But, you don't have to fear for your life (aside from some freak accident).
