Hopefully hes just ending his career now. Google shouldn't be soaking up all these ignorant young college boys if they're not mature enough to handle a workplace.

If you're interested in this, I highly recommend the author of EMACSPEAK's blog [1]. Very interesting, innovative stuff (at it least seems that way to me, I'm not an expert on TTS systems or anything). [1] http://t

But people socialize in ways that are very different from apes. Humans are so deeply social by nature that we make other monkies look psychopathic by comparison. Show me an ape that performs charity to save other species. People clearly

Grow up, it's a workplace . People go there to make a living, not to be subjected to your half-baked political opinions. It's unprofessional.

Extended stay hotels will offer rooms with a kitchens, and can accommodate a family of 5, maybe just not for a price you like. Just be honest and say you like it cause its cheaper and you think your vacation is more important than the needs
