    You made it Fant! Welcome to the forums!
  12. Just out of curiosity, you have previous experience?
  13. My advise, check here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=50482
  14. I'm unsure about what the "Fair Play to them" means. What I honestly think of transgender people? Nothing. I mean, they are people, why would I think different of them? I do think different of people who discriminates the LGBT community, I think those people are scum and do not deserve to share my planet.... But then again, I can't be passionate about stuff at times xD
  15. I should ask Blackbird to take a look and chime in, heh. But law will probably prevent him from taking the time
  16. It is tomorrow's yesterday, does it counts?
  17. I started dropping Firefox when they start the "new versions every 3 months" shit that kept killing my favorite and most used plugins.
  18. Source for material?
  19. My issue with Chrome is it's ridiculous memory consumption

  21. What the hell is that in your signature, Van?
  22. Is not a bad idea, are their any sources online? Another great idea, any known sources of info?
  23. Down here, Meteorology and Physics are both majors hosted by the School of Physics from the Faculty of Science (it works like that here, the University is divided into Faculties, each faculty has 1 or more schools, each schools hosts the careers or majors, and classes for other careers that need them). If you are doing physics, you have to take 6 optional classes from a list of like 20 available, and if you select carefully those 6, you end up 1 class away from a major in Meteorology (and the same applies for the meteorologists). So is funny, they call it the 2x1 career combo. Not that you would get a job here thanks to those 2 particularly unemployed careers, but hey, you know, teaching physics at high school pays apparently (that't what about 70% of my class mates are doing now). I never graduated anyway, decided that having a family and a good paid job was better for me. I started doing call center stuff at 18, first working as Customer Service for BetOnSports.com Have you guys heard about all the phone gambling business that was done abroad by Americans and how it took years for the IRS to pursue them? Well, about half of them had their Customer Service here and it gave employment to THOUSAND of young university guys who spoke good english and knew how to use a computer here. I worked on BetOnSports for about 1 year, then another year in a different sportsbook, and then another. Attrition is high, but they used to pay well. When I was 21 I stopped working in those places and moved to work full time at my university as a professor's assistance and later on as teaching assistance, where I actually teach university level classes (mainly General Physics Lab 1, 2 and 3) for engineering and science students. Enjoyed it, I was very good to the point where I actually was assigned more groups than actually graduated guys. It helped the university: I was reliable, trustworthy and less expensive (I was paid as an undergrad assistant, not as a half time professor). I eventually made it to Coordinator Assistant for labs 1 and 3. By then I was 23/24 and was sharing my time between those clases; an assistance post at the Plasma Research Lab at the Nuclear, Molecular and Atomic Interactions Research Center; my Peruvian girlfriend; my elected position as General Accountant to the Student's Federation of my University; and a shit-load of drinking... So I was tired, exhausted, and decided to make a change after my GF dumped me: quit the Student's Fed, quit the university classes but 2, quit the research center, and find a night shift job as Customer Support for a website that still operates today: https://www.bingohall.ag/(formerly .com), more online gambling. Within 6 months I was Accounting Support; 6 months later, Payout Lead and 6 months more and I was accounting department manager, with 4 accountants under my supervision... they didn't liked being managed by an undergraduated physics student. I left that place in 2010 and moved to HP, where I did 3 years of HP Proliant Servers Support (running MS and Linux and ESX/ESXi) and then moved to my current post as SAP Enablement and Data Manager... EDIT: I'm not sure why I wrote all that but it seemed relevant. I'm only 32 but it seems I've lived a liftime already, can only admire the experience of some people here. I'm happy about it.
  24. I can do both. When you join the World Assembly, you are able to both GIVE and RECEIVED endorsements. Endorsements are what they mean: "an act of giving one's public approval or support to someone or something". In NS, the way it works, is that you can give and receive endorsements to and from other nations within your region who also belong to the World Assembly. They work for a few things: - The nation with the higher number of endorsements in the region is the World Assembly Delegate, and de-factor ruler of the region, with capacity to eject and ban people, modify the region's page and flag and others. - The nation's influence is a mix of both their number of endorsements and the amount of time in the region. The more time or more endorsements, more influence you will have. What is influence? Is sort of a unit of power, I guess. When the Regional Officers and the Delegate eject or ban people, they spend influence, and the amount of influence they spend is related to the amount of influence the nation ejected or banned had. New nations are almost free to expel and ban. - A minimum of endorsements is needed to submit World Assembly and Security Council proposals, should that be your gaming desire.
