SDET is Software Development Engineers in Test. The actual position I accepted is for testing the Xbox kernel, Drivers, and API.

I met some guy from the Silverlight team who did a pretty bleh presentation. Silverlight looks kinda cool, his presentation did not.

Long story short, I got an IE7 waterbottle. I think i win!

I think he should pitch the idea of opening talks between Microsoft and Lucasarts for JK : DF2 as a cheap multiplayer download on xbox Live. (Some of those other old Lucasart's titles might be a good additional as well...)
My favorite JKDF2 h4x:
EAH XMAS v2
MANIPULATOR GUN
EAH SMOOTH SNIPER

You can tell your boss from me that as an iFanBoy that it pains me that my XBox 360 is so good.

Happygrats!

First I need to get one myself... Last console I ever bought was an NES.

Better yet, convince LucasArts to make next-gen remakes of the DF series. <_< >_>

OK, I doubt that will ever happen.

I wouldn't dream of pushing JK:DF2 for the Xbox... I just wouldn't be the same without the modding capacity...

I propose that we ban any further mention of JK on this board.
