I can look at a web page in as many tiny slices as I care to take. Watching a show doesn't work as well when you do that. Also, I am on lunch right now....but that doesn't matter. I am not trying to turn this into a working class hero debate....I am just saying that people saying that they use their personal phone for things that are beneficial to the company are either in the minority, or lying.
An aside...I think this watching TV or movies while at work thing is a good test for how old you are. Over a certain age (that I am over) and it just really, really bothers you. If you were reading a book or a webpage it would bother me a lot less. Perhaps it is a get off my lawn thing...but it is just incredibly disrespectful IMO.
I asked the same question to my general all around fix-anything Great uncle (he was also a great uncle) once. He told me that the 2X4 or 4X4 measurements were what it measured when it was originally milled. That after drying out some more before it got to you, it shrunk from that.
I don't know if it's actually true, but he knew a lot about stuff like that. He was a millwright by trade.
Anyway, I don't know if they sell exact (some MM)X(some other MM) boards in Europe...that would probably shoot some holes in my uncles statement.
In your case, that is a fact. For most other cases....let me stand up and look around...yeah, at least half of my co-workers are half-assed surreptitiously watching TV on their personal phones.
There are, without a doubt, legitimate reasons to have your personal phone at work. But the vast majority of people are going to abuse it.
If he had modded it down, it would have removed it when he posted. Maybe find out how it works before trolling people. And your fellow AC said it better above....don't take it so personally...it could have been anyone with mod points.
yeah, on the slim chance that anyone is thinking of taking the GP's advice....it absolutely will not work. The only way I would trust to beat a urine test is to not give them your urine. Which is possible if it is a private sector test and you are clever. Is not as easy for the military ones (some poor bastard has to stand there and watch you piss from my understanding.)
Do you believe in "patriotic" buying? I suspect a lot of people do, as evidenced by the PS3's advantage in Japan and the 360's in the US (while Europe remains a dead heat).
While I have no doubt that it matters to a significant percentage of Japanese gamers that the PS3 is made by a Japanese company...I don't believe for a second that any significant percentage of Americans give a damn that MS is an American company and got their Xbox because of that. Most likely IMO? Someone wanted to play some flavor of Halo because their buddies all played it...then, that was the console that they had, and there was no reason to get another one.
I understand your point, and I don't get angry about this...but I have told IT ppl and non-IT ppl I work with this before as a polite FYI....It can't take you much more than 5 seconds to type "one sec".
I am going to ignore all the straw men you set up there. Nobody wants another war in Korea. China is is the best position to end this nonsense without anyone dying.
Hah. I love the phrase "so-and-so is really good with excel". How in the fuck can you not be good with excel? If you can't get it to do what you want by figuring it out or just googling it....you probably don't really need it anyway.
Ah well, I guess the stupid people need things to do at work also.
If you ever wonder why the burger-flipper behind the counter at McDonalds sneezed in your burger, this is also why.
In the foodservice industry in the US, they probably don't get any paid time off at all (unless things have changed since 25 years ago when I was in it). So, their options are to call in and not be paid, incur the wrath of their manager (do it too many times and you will either be fired or won't get any hours), or just suck it up and go in.
I ride a bicycle to work year round in the midwest. There are only a few days a year where I just can't ride in (and it isn't from the temp, it's from ice). I will be 40 soon and also never get sick.
I have zero science behind it. But I firmly believe, as you do, that regular fresh air...even if it gets cold in the winter where you are....is a big part of not getting sick. It isn't that it gets cold that makes you sick...it's that it gets cold and you stop going outside for any length of time. (This is all just my opinion).
I can work from home mostly but don't as much as I could for this very reason. I don't get as much done as I do when I go to the office. Not condemning working from home, I am just not very good at it.
They stand to make way more money just churning out cookie cutter console versions than they do putting the dev time into an uber high end engine that only $1500 PC's can run.
I have the same i7 dual HD5870's machine I built over 2 years ago...and I don't think I am going to need to upgrade until the next gen consoles come out....and maybe not even then:(

They remove anything that can identify you before they share it. The aggregate is what everyone wants to see. That is how they would get around anything short of being expressly forbidden to do anything at all with the data.

Half pints are 200ml. Still not half, but closer. Fifths are actually pretty close (enough for drunks) to being 1/5 of a gallon.
No, not at all.

If less than 10% of your co-workers do NOT have desks, then most of them do have desks.
"The line that leans to the left"
or,
"The line that leans to the right"
I find that casual computer users have issues with either one. Why would anyone you were supporting need to "understand the difference" beyond that?
If he had modded it down, it would have removed it when he posted. Maybe find out how it works before trolling people. And your fellow AC said it better above....don't take it so personally...it could have been anyone with mod points.
I thought the same thing too. That is a really good episode.
I never signed anything like that either...but more or less this same thing bit me in the ass once. Cost me what would have been a pretty sweet gig.
The problem is that GM probably did sign something that said they wouldn't poach HP's employees.
me too.
it would be after the first couple.
Khan!

or should I say "think that they will require".

If they'd bought an iPad they'd be having a better quality of life.
I have an iPad 3 and I can tell you that being able to read webpages whilst shitting has really improved all other aspects of my life.
