Let's hear it!

Fuck you all. When I become rich and famous, making a couple thousand dollars an hour, I'm going to spit in your faces. Motherfuckers.

Anyway, I have about ~$700 in cash, with another paycheck/tips coming up for the next two weeks. Now I need to spend it.

Majority of good-paying jobs don't pay by the hour.

Well when I am making multi-millions, it'll account to about a couple thousand dollars an hour. If not, I'll settle for a billion a month ala M$. ;)

You're dodging the point!  Quik's right.  Jobs that pay that kind of money have variable pay rates depending on the progress and state of the company you're working for (or own).

Hmm, depends what you consider "big money."  I have friends who make ~$250/hour on an hourly salary.

:o

Yeah, that's definitely 'big money,' but I think we were talking more in the millions/year range.

It's funny, I know enough that I could probably make $50/hour+ doing rentacoder projects, but I'm too lazy and it wouldn't be a stable payrate.

Uhh, fifty dollars an hour? You could be making $100,000 a year, and you're too lazy?

I see the problem with this statement. You couldn't make fifty dollars an hour if you sucked dick alongside the project.

Here is where I call bullshit on your statement, and for the following reasons:

You barely know enough Java to write well-coded projects worth the $50/hr.
Nobody wants projects in VB 6.0 anymore, it's called .NET.
None of your other languages are worth even mentioning here.
Rent-a-coder projects aren't standard at $50/hr. If you can find ten worth $50 an hour that are for VB6, DO IT YOU LAZY BAG OF ASS. It's not that it's not a stable payrate, but the project payrates vary (it'll be a stable payrate, just not at $50/hr, or anything close to that).

Hell, I don't think even I could make $50/hr writing projects. I don't think I am worthy of $50/hr. Hell, the last thing I wrote (a Perl script I am still developing, will try to finish tonight) is so sloppy I don't think I would even take payment for it. It gets the job done, but it's awfully written and not worth any amount of money. Sure, my time is valuable, but my time well-spent is what earns money.

God, it seems like I am doing nothing but attacking you. :\

[deadly7]

Well, Perl is very sloppy. :P

[Newby]

Perl can be written very well, I'm just not very good at writing it well.

And if I make everything 'strict', I'll just basically be re-writing the entire project. Though, at that point I would charge for the end result. :)

I wanna bone a waitress where I work. She's cute and seems to like me, but knows I'm jailbait. :(

Fuck being 16. Seriously. It limits your choice in women so much. :(

[deadly7]

If she seems to like you, she won't care.
