  1. For those of you interested.. on Telcos Want Big Subsidies, Not Line-Sharing · · Score: 1

    This is the bill the telco's are strongly opposed to, the one we need to pass:

  2. zulpez on Have Modern Gamers Lost the Patience For Puzzles? · · Score: 1

    The last puzzle games I played and enjoyed were 11th Hour and Myst. I can't really think of any good puzzle games that have come out since.

  4. aircards on Comparing 3G Networks · · Score: 1

    In the USA is yankee doodle dandy, but what I'm wondering is which aircard has the best coverage internationally. I have customers who use there aircards overseas, especially in New Zealand which seems to be the biggest trouble area. I have heard using aircards internationally is atrocious (I have not ever left the lower48).

  5. Re:Texas voter here: This is simply untrue. on Clinton Takes Ohio, Texas; McCain Seals The Deal · · Score: 1

    Two words - Baby Sitter. Oh BTW I work full time and managed to stay during the whole Caucus. Seems like the Hilary campaign provides nothing but excuses when things don't go their way.

  6. Re:Don't blame me. . . on Clinton Takes Ohio, Texas; McCain Seals The Deal · · Score: 1

    I live in TX and I wouldn't say that Hilary has won it yet. It's highly likely that Barack will have won the Caucas' meaning he'll be getting more delegates then Billary.

    Save everything on your companies network, keep laptop free of trade secrets and sensitive data, VPN into company network when at destination - problem solved.

  8. Re:Many managers are saddened they actually have t on Young IT Workers Disillusioned, Hard to Retain · · Score: 1

    If we are supposed to be the "face of the company" I don't understand why we shouldn't be taken better care of. My face has dark bags under my eyes from the nights of lost sleep and my family is beginning to wonder why I don't answer their phone calls as frequently. It is sad times when one has to sacrifice being a part of their family because the higher ups in the company like to only work 5-6 hour days forcing the rest of us to work twice as much.

    As a 24 year old who works for an IT Outsourcing company I am here to tell you that it's not simply the "millennials" are demanding too much, the companies out there who I have worked for are proving with out a doubt that there is no real future in those companies as an actual IT worker. This is disconcerting because most of these companies expect you to give your life away for the benefit of the owners, upper management, and their customers. Moral is destroyed when promises made by employers are seldom kept and the expectations to advance in ones career are unclear. What really gets my goat is how glamorous the IT industry is made out to be. When I tell others what I do they tell me how great it is and how rewarding it must be. Waking up in the middle of the night because a server goes down, a VIP is getting an unusual pop-up, and sacrificing having any sort of relationship are not ideal ways to live. Back to the point I was getting at, there is no clear cut way to move up in the IT industry other then lucking out or job hopping as many others have suggested. Sadly, when going from job to job many are finding that they are all the same and the jobs of importance are already clogged up by the seasoned vets who are more interested in deescalating work then actually helping teach the new generation. I have two associate degrees, both in Network related technologies and I know now that these are pretty much useless. I am going back to school, most likely for a business administration degree so I can be the one getting all the benefits, doing half the work by coming in late and leaving early every day, and telling others how they are fucking up.
