Since that is an approach almost universally rejected by said "company or governing body" in recent history, I assume the context of the article is "what to do after the most responsible approach fails because said company or governing body is actually completely irresponsible."
I don't think they're upset about being woken up by it as much as they're upset it cost 25 million dollars and had a less positive net effect than your average chain letter.
A Verizon cellphone in the room at the time did, however and it was slightly less useful than getting no message at all. My tax dollars at work, woo-hoo!
(No seriously, if you were in any way responsible for lobbying for, voting for, or implementing any part of this useless piece of dog shit I could beat with a 50 line perl script and a 10-year old email server you can seriously GO FUCK YOURSELF.)
You might be surprised... see, if they're hiring H1B workers, it means they're implicitly claiming (under the laws that allow H1B work visas so you can hire foreigners in the first place) that NO SUITABLE TALENT could feasibly be found state-side. If it can be proven however that they regularly pass over US citizens for the sole reason that H1B workers are the more cost effective option, they're probably going to be facing heavy fines at the very least. Its quite possible they will be in a lot of trouble and the court case will precipitate the type of more heavy restrictions on granting of H1B visas in the first place.
Yea, my sentiments exactly. This guy is at best completely, totally naive. But I don't need to point out that due to the absurdity and inaccuracy of his arguments its far more likely to be worse than that, nor do I need to point out in what ways.
I don't know if this is true, but I get a LOT of spam from legit Yahoo servers, some of it occasionally from accounts of people I know who can't seem to keep their password secret, so that does lend a lot of credibility to this. I actually get quite a lot of spam (usually ~300 items per day to my main account alone) and with the exception of only Yahoo, HSBC and DNB, all of the rest has plainly come from spoofed/forged email servers.
Well, think of it this way. *I* personally have absolutely no vested interest in increasing the frequency with which your own business's in-house hardware infrastructure suffers failures. Google on the other hand...
While that *may* be true for some hardware (and I only say "may" because Google claims it is true, though I'm fairly certain they have fundamental flaws in their accounting of this) I can personally verify that *temperature change* in the form of increases in temperature, even within the stated hardware specifications has a *HUGE* impact on longevity of most consumer-grade hardware.
The point is that they are almost always the first and only person to get yelled at when something goes out, but the circumstances for this are almost always also completely out of their control.
Then its likely that your project either doesn't have nearly enough exposure, or this feedback is largely legitimate and you should figure out what is fundamentally offensive about your software to these people. It could benefit your skill and perspective significantly, down the road, even if you never actually come to agree with the detractors completely.

No, when I do this you mod it motherfucking informative not "interesting."
Nice tightly packed grouping of lies there. Either your employers have REALLY pulled the wool over your eyes, or else that is your job.

Relax, buddy. He's being sarcastic. I'm sure the documents will be all over the internet soon whether they block them or not.

Poul-Henning Kamp, you're the newest addition to our list. Congratulations!
Then opennebula may be more useful to you, if only in that its designed to be easily extendable in that manner.
just sayin... you could simply use a more secure pdf reader.

My kingdom for some mod points for this guy...
I'm good at Sim City. Obviously they hired the wrong guy for the job.
No amount of sane, productive, alternate solution propositions will get these assholes to treat you like a human being.
I would still rather have two 1600x1200 displays.
Today I learned about Atlassian, a company whose software I will never use.

On the bright side, robots don't hurl themselves off the roof of your factory.
... yet.
Popularity of performers also not directly proportional to talent.

Actually the job of the sysadmins is to keep the production systems live and productive. I think you're confusing sysadmins with the helpdesk.
What if it was 95% negative? 98%? 99%? 100%?
