Is it supposed to say 8 hours a day... that's a lot, maybe a week, I can do that... but I have school, and work... I can do like, 14 hours a week, maybe...

>Is it supposed to say 8 hours a day
i think hes just saying that u need to be consistant with the time you can contribute

They mean that if you spend eight hours a day for work and later on, drop the amount of time that you put into working for ticalc, then that's not good... working a lot for only a short period of time doesn't help.

Ok, thnaks

Good luck on finding a female. The only I've ever seen on this site (that has posted anything) was Sarah Lacey on the Post-Halloween Update (link). And she was no calc nut, but someone who was obsessed with a calc nut.

Just for the record, we've had females apply in our earlier rounds. So it wouldn't be a first.

>> Finally, if you can increase the staff's demographical diversity, that's a plus - but not a requirement. That means if you're non-US and female, it will give you a couple of plus points.

I think some universities are getting in trouble for doing stuff like that... they call it something like "discrimination". j/k :)

Actually, the Supreme Court seems to be upholding affirmative action (Reference: the University of Michigan case). I could go on a rant about this, but I don't want to start a flame war, and nickd could do it so much better anyway.

How is that relevant? I seem to remember reading that the server is in Sweden, so we follow Swedish law?

It's completely irrelevant. First, we're in Sweden, so we follow Swedish law. Second, we're a private organization, so we can hire whomever we darn well choose. The only reason I mentioned that was because he said universities are getting in trouble for affirmative action, which is unfortunately the opposite of what is really happening.

We are not legally hiring anybody.

this is volounteer work

Exactly.

I think I'll be like lord_nightrose.

*takes an extra O from vol_O_unteer*

Oh, I see

Well, I never actually heard the ruling on that case, maybe I should have before posting.

The original wording (that you quote in your message) was not really what Magnus meant, as you can see from his above post. The text has been corrected to reflect ticalc's stance on applications.

Really? I copied it directly from the article... anyway I was just kidding. Sorry.

Oh, no problem. There was a lot of confusion with that, so I needed to clear it up. Magnus said he was up too late writing the article. :-)

BTW, sorry about that Magnus.

Morgan, you were so diligent with the file archiving up until this week... what happened? [insert some smiley that shows concern]

Hmmm, they must not know aout the time it got up to 200 plus files around the time of the server move :-)

Ok, so you guys might know that I am taking Architecture clases for school, if you don't check the link. Anways, I have on average around 5 hours of homework in that class every other day. The other days I do all my other classes homework. So basically if you haven't guess I am kind of stressing on time. (but who isn't) I don't even have time to send my girlfirend a letter, now that is just sad. I feel really bad abou that.

Anyway....some have been added today and I'll try and keep them coming....I think I have got about 12 hours of sleep in the last 5 days....I can't wait for the new staff member! Then I can concentrate on files.

Yeah, I've been slacking a little, too. However, next week I'll be done with Mock Trial, and on the 23rd, building season will be done for the FIRST Robotics competition, so I'll be back in full force then. I do look forward to the new staffer, though.

I wasn't complaining, I was just worried about you. Your post sounds like the last two years of my life.... I know how you feel, don't stress yourself too much.
