.....Top 10 US Cities for IT salaries[^].
There seems to be only one 'Southern' city. Is that as expected, or an anomaly?

No a lot of southern states are predominately non-union. I would bet that if you found a wage scale southern states would show to pay less also. You live in paradise and you want a decent living too?

I'm curious. What does the southern states being 'non-union' have to do with it? I've never heard of any IT jobs that were unionized.

Economic guesswork: if unions raise the pay for unionized jibs, they raise it indirectly for non-unionized, too by setting some achor points.

The only reason Dallas makes the list is that you have to pay more to get people to live there. Besides, it's not Southern, it's Texan. There's a difference...

I figured that someone would say something like that, which is why I put it in quotes.

Honestly I'm surprised Austin isn't on that list. I've lost several good people from my team to companies in Austin. I also recently read an article in GameInformer that highlighted Austin as a growing area for game development.
On a side note, hydrocodone is great for my migraines, but it really impairs my typing (and spelling) abilities.
Don't blame me. I voted for Chuck Norris.

What they don't tell you is the salary compared to the cost of living, which is usually less in the south. If you backed off the cost of living, I bet you'd find things are pretty equal, maybe slightly better in the south.

This guy wakes up one morning to find a gorilla in his tree. He looks in the phone book for a gorilla removal service until he finds one.
"Is it a boy or girl Gorilla?" the service guy asks. "Boy", is the mans' response. "Oh yeah, I can do it. I'll be right there".
An hour later the service guy shows up with a stick, Chihuahua, shotgun and a pair of hand cuffs. He then gives the man some instructions.
"Now, I'm going to climb this tree and poke the gorilla with the stick until he falls. When he does, the trained Chihuahua will bite the gorilla's balls off. The gorilla will then cross his hands to protect himself and allow you to put the handcuffs on".
The man asks "What do I do with the shotgun?"
"If I fall out of the tree before the gorilla, shoot the dog"

Sorry mate, but that joke's so old it remembers the invention of the printing press.
|
|
|
|

And you remember that... how?

So shouldn't this joke tickle happy memories? Your first kiss with tangled braces, nights spent under the blanket with a flashlight and an assembler manual err sodlering iron abacus?

It's certainly old, but as far as I can tell it hasn't been posted on the lounge before.

Try 'gorilla tree'. Is's not literally the same.
I like your jokes and it's not upsetting me when seeing doublets of good ones.

I didn't feel the need to vote on it. Just disappointed it wasn't up to your usual standard.

Windows 7: I have a USB HDD I want to re-use. First, let's dump what's on it, and do a quick surface check:
Explorer, X:, Right click, Format.
"You don't have permission to do this."
Damn. How do you run Explorer in Admin? Dunno.
Ok, let's try: Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Storage, Disk Management, find the disk, right click, Delete Volume.
Yep, that works.
So does "New simple volume", followed by unchecking "quick format".
Same job - a format - no permissions changed...Stupid!
