you don't realize that theft is a matter of CRIMINAL RECORDS which you can obtain via a background check?
A company putting claims of stuff you stole on a credit report is bullshit - how do you know it's even true? It's a CLAIM, it's not truth, it's not a conviction in a court of law. Any company that puts these things on a credit report is full of shit - if you defrauded a company then take them to court. Chicken shits libel people via credit reports and then use million dollar attorneys to dare them to sue. Honorable people take it before a criminal court judge.
I run a data center for a financial services corporation and I probably manage more people and money than you^squared, and I run a tight ship - apparently, you do not.
What you left out of all that was right after we beat the Nazi's, we spent 40 years playing "duck and cover" because testosterone-poisoned men had their fingers on the nuclear button.
Now it's biological weapons.
The world you want to go back to is full of horribly imbalanced concepts of "manliness". Feel free to chase the good old days, Biff, but I'm betting on society marching on without you. I'll give you one thing - I am concerned about marching too far away from your kind. The Eloi effect is just as bad as the nuclear annihilation effect.
higher testosterone levels, going by your admission, also led to people dying. I was witness to a kid being bullied and knocked down in a school fight and he cracked his head on the concrete ground. He spent days in the hospital and came back to school with his head all mummified. Others have died in that situation. The lawsuits that come of that are spectacular - and in case you're grumbling about lawyers right about now, well now, someone has to pay those medical bills, and it might as well be the testosterone-poisoned bully who, in this case, had knocked the other kid down. Of course, you'd say the kid who got knocked down deserved it because he was weak, or that his head injury is his problem, and no one else's. That's fine and well - he'd typically come back with a knife, a bat or even a gun, and even the score. See: Columbine. Inner city schools are plagued with that behavior. That's why the so-called "pussification" is going on.
When you take this he-man testosterone rah rah rah bullshit to the leaders-of-our-nation level, you get the threat of nuclear war. Or Bush. Of course you would say nuclear war is so 1960s. Tell that to the people who lived back then. Also do consider moving out of New York, and soon - that's target numeral uno for some terrorist with a suitcase nuke. Some testosterone poisoned man is absolutely positively going to try to blow that city up over a *certain* religious dispute we're all familiar with.
So what'll it be? Pussification, or skyrocketing crime and/or mass annihilation?
Republican Ron Paul voted against this bill. He was the ONLY Republican to vote against it.
Ron Paul is the kind of honorable Libertarian who, though I disagree with him on many issues, I'd want to stay in office. When the Left takes over we'll need him as a counterweight.
I am fully confident that plenty of people will laugh at this new tactic, ignore the GOW trailer, and go on with their lives. Who cares if ALL their trailers have to be paid for? I can use one of my free rental coupons at Blockbuster and play the game when it comes out, and see if it sucks; if not, I'll buy it. Who needs the trailer?
I avoid games that REQUIRE a Gold account to play, and if I need something via Xbox Live, I get live points cards for that. Total anonymity, and no need to pay monthly charges for a Gold account. I'm not into online play so I'm utterly untouchable on that front even if they make online play a pay-per issue. I use my PC to play online. Or I'll get the PS3 for next-gen online action.
I don't know if avoiding it will make it go away, but it makes me immune to it, and I can get around it.
Cisco offshores a lot of production over to China. This recently bit them in the butt when a company named Huawei stole their software and Cisco tried to sue them in China, but the Chinese Government, which backs Huawei, shut that lawsuit down.
I wouldn't be surprised if Cisco's current counterfeiting woes came from some other offshore producer that stole other facets of their IP.
I have little sympathy for Cisco; they think American workers are too expensive, and that American labor rules are too tough. Well then, let them go to China and get everything that comes along with their cheap labor. Including counterfeiters...
And for your information, this reporter's personal information was gleaned by fraud. If I know your name & city I can buy your personal information and impersonate you in 2 days flat. I can just put your info into ussearch.com's search bar and pay a few bucks and awayyyyyyyyyy we go!
If you start your own company you stand to be undermined by lower paid independent contractors, or corporations run by lower paid managers and CEOs.
Every single last person working for IT's corporate America today - from the programmer to the CEO - can be outsourced and replaced by lower paid counterparts.
Every single last person.
Then America will no longer have an IT workforce and our skillset will descend into 3rd world status.
People in the 3rd world do not and never will buy anything from the United States.
What they buy is US stuff made in factories abroad.
That means no matter how much East India's or Africa's income rises, it will never create a rise in any jobs in the US - not until our wages are rock bottom - in which case even US citizens will be unable to buy much.
I for one do not support making everyone else rich while my country's working class withers at the vine of globalism.
Lots of applicants are like me; if I see a requirement for 5 years of Cell programming experience by 2006, I'm just not even going to waste my time. (Not that we ask for that, but still!)
Your post is well said, though; I'd like to see an in-house application form online which will tell the applicant what we want, and then give them a battery of staff-written questions that will challenge them to show what they really know. Each staff member would add two questions a week to the rotation.
All "official" KDE apps get restructured to be command line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI) front ends to shared object libraries. In every KDE app you can find an entry in the "about" function that shows you how the CLI would do various tasks, including the last task you did. You can even make it optional as a compile-time option in source code. (Power users would rather not have that function bloat up their code, no doubt.)
In a flash, any GUI using novice with a hunger to know more about Linux, can look right there and see how it's done.
In no time you'll have tons of people speeding up their KDE by doing everything on the command line and perhaps even using less memory (as far as CLI vs GUI memory usage is concerned).
That's why I made our company post resume format requirements in our job listings. We also warn the applicant that we'll be calling in 2nd interviewees to prove their knowledge in person.
The number of incoming resume's shrank by 83% and now we mostly have qualified applicants. The problem now is choosing which one has the coolest sounding Mumbai or Hyberadad address.

American software companies are the ones doing the offshoring.
who provide the safe ship and all that.
We make this country, and the CEOs are just parasites who tell us what to do and often get it wrong.
America doesn't need CEOs, and most certainly we do not need corporate personhood.
Your post reads like a line straight out of "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe does Talladega Nights"...
Strong men have been obviously despised enough that they're being pushed aside by history.
As for women... thanks for the misogyny. They've turned into cowards and children, eh? I bet you definitely don't get laid.
I love watching guys like that talk their big game.
You hardly ever see them showing up to do anything that actually counts. Except, of course, getting your change wrong at the gas station.

and not a son.

If someone attacks her, she can expect society to defend her pronto.
People like you REALLY make me glad I had a daughter.
And my point about Littleton/Columbine is, the mean streets of urban America actually came to the quiet streets of Colorado, for a day.

I bet they're buying more ICs because they're declaring an inflated defect rate.
It's the easiest way to cover their tracks.

before getting a job in the tech industry, you should consider learning Chinese and Hindi first.
:)
Either you'll be learning it to get in, or you'll be learning it to speak to your future boss.
Have a nice day.

We were looking for WMD's, dude.
No, wait, we were looking for people with Al Qaeda connections.
Er, ok, that was disproven... ok we're democratizing them! They owe us!
