Does anyone ever read the positive reviews? I know when I am looking into a company on glassdoor, I just skip to the reviews describing the problems people have had.
I try to be thorough too if possible. Another problem though is that the "at a glance" or overall rating gets boosted by gaming the system.
"I am a programmer, it isn't my job to help plug in and setup a printer"
omg you are clueless and clearly a programmer, your hypothetical goes in the wrong direction: as a programmer, it is NOT your job to help plug in and set up a printer, and the hard part as an employer is getting programmers to stop doing shit like that. You are paid far too much for that, AND you're going to deliver your own project late as it is, so please remained focused on your job, and leave printer setup to the people whose job that is, they'll figure it out.
I wish sharing someone's comment from slashdot has the same level of perceived oomph as from Twitter or memes or something. Unfortunately, no. I love this reply though.
I actually have to do this at my current job (first time in about 2 decades) because our department/company is so small. It works out better in the end to teach the non-programmers how to fix printer issues if there's no I.T. department.
Most of the time, the shitty company that treated your former co-worker poorly isn't going to be the same company you're about to decide whether to give notice or ghost.
That might all be anecdotal. I've worked as a contractor at multiple government agencies. If they went.NET, they went C# every time, whether it was before I arrived or when I was assisting in the ASP to ASP.NET "modernization."
It's probably more relevant to do something as simple as an Indeed.com search (not the end all be all, mind you). Straight up VB.NET in most metropolitan areas vs C# in those areas, and you'll get numbers like a 160 count for VB.NET vs. an 1800 count for C#. And if that's the case, the numbers would be an even huger margin for Java or Javascript vs. VB.NET.
"when has an American startup auto company ever succeeded by selling through auto dealers?"
I thought Saturn was doing okay for a while, but looking briefly at wikipedia, I guess as GM took more control, it was doomed.
Not saying it was a good purchase, but it seems like a lot of these things are purchases of tech talent as well as the products and intellectual rights.
They need a followup study. Just 21 people?
How about listening to an audiobook? Does it have the same effect? When I'm bored at work and don't have to worry about distractions to my programming, I listen to audiobooks instead of music.
I recognize that the movie was crafted to be multi-layered, satirical, a critique on imperialism, whatever. And I understand it was different in many ways than the book.
But to be on a list of "best films", shouldn't the movie have to be written with good dialogue and have at least decent acting? Neither of which, the movie even came close in.
This past summer, we bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 specifically for the purpose of communicating across the Atlantic from Ireland/England. The wife took it, it was nice, light, and reliable, and she was able to GTalk with the kids and me (Skype video wasn't available at the time) .
The only issue (not tablet specific) was finding wifi spots in certain semi-rural areas of Ireland.
The day the language died. Didn't the language die when English teachers were incorrectly using your/you're, to/too/two, and its/it's? Oh wait, newspaper editors are making those mistakes too... Oy!
Maybe some people who complain about today's rock and/or metal being not up to their liking haven't discovered www.melodicrock.com. There's enough reviews there to get a lot of you started. They cover more than just "What's Styx up to these days" so don't be fooled if a review or news blurb is of a band during your day that you didn't like. It helped me discover newer bands in my wheel house too. All I can say is, thank goodness people in Europe and Japan kept alive melodic rock and metal so that there are still such things as CDs where all the songs are good. It's absurd to have to buy "import" CDs from bands that originate in the states, but whatever.
I doubt the majority of this stuff will ever be popular again the the U.S., but at least it's not cacophonic metal where guitarists can't play solos, or even more bubbly gummy than 50s bubble gum pop.
Man, I hate it when I want to reply to threads that are at night or during weekends. Since I'm always late to the game and nobody would read my gibberish anyway.
researchers fitted monitors to their computers, workers were found to be viewing e-mails up to 40 times an hour Slackers! Going back and forth among my work, main, and secondary email accounts, my number has got to be close to one per minute.
Of the three current "next gen" consoles, it's kind of ironic that the most popular one with the party gamers is the one that *doesn't* do HD. Considering that the Wii's the one most geared towards groups of people standing in front of a large TV screen.

FAQ
Q) How is the Red Cross responding to J&J's lawsuit?
A) The Red Cross is outraged that J&J would try to restrict how the Red Cross uses its own emblem to achieve its mission. The Red Cross will be aggressively defending its right to use the Red Cross emblem to help prepare families and individuals for life's emergencies.
Q) Why is J&J able to use the Red Cross emblem on products sold in retail stores?
A) The American Red Cross has used the Red Cross emblem since its inception in 1881. J&J started using a red cross symbol as a trademark in 1887. Congress granted the American Red Cross the exclusive right to use the Red Cross emblem in 1905, and at the same time allowed third parties that had used a red cross symbol before 1905 to continue using a red cross symbol for limited purposes. These third-party users are called "grandfathered users" and J&J is one of several grandfathered users.
Q) What is licensing?
A) The American Red Cross licensing program grants partners called "Licensees" the legal right to use certain assets of the American Red Cross--such as its emblem, content and access to human and other resources--to develop and promote products important to the health and safety of the American public. In exchange, the Red Cross receives a fee in the form of royalties, based on a percentage of sales. Since 2004, the Red Cross has worked with several licensing partners to create first aid, preparedness and related products that bear the Red Cross emblem.
Q) Why does the Red Cross sell licensed products in retail stores?
A) Recent research shows that less than 7 percent of the American public has taken the necessary steps to get prepared, and the American Red Cross strongly believes that the most effective way to distribute these emergency preparedness products is through retail channels where Americans regularly shop. This widespread distribution of products is exactly what J&J is seeking to prevent.
Q) How much money does the Red Cross receive from its licensed products?
A) In fiscal year 2006, the Red Cross's revenue from the retail sale of licensed preparedness products was $2 million.
Q) How is the money raised by licensed products used by the Red Cross?
A) The money the Red Cross receives from the sale of these products to consumers is reinvested in its humanitarian programs and services.

Right. Along those lines, probably variety in age too.

Sounds like you should be in the I-270 corridor of Maryland. They can't get enough of your type in the area.

Shhh. Zip it about the U-word place! You know what the first and second rule of it is.

See... further proof that nobody was living on the North American continent until someone(something) migrated here through the Bering Comet.
