  1. Re:I fix code written by offshore Indian developer on Dirty Duty On the Front Lines of IT · · Score: 1

    So while they're still with the company, they can talk about all these great "initiatives" they've started,

    You are talking about an increase in Power Word ( or more accurately, brown matter ) density within Curriculum Vitae space. The problem is that past a certain density, Curriculum Vitae space can collapse in on itself. Then you have brown matter entering the accretion disk.

    e.g. "Facilitated & enhanced a balanced, agile solution in a collaborated, multi-national project that simplified and incorporated a streamlined production model transforming & modernizing the development process... ( this section omitted to avoid critical mass ) ...increasing & improving communication between departments while aligning the developer & marketing goals netting an increase in quarterly projections."

    If he does, he should upload it to Wikileaks...

    I say that in jest but thinking about it more, it would be a very good litmus test for the statement "He is not politically motivated. He is more concerned with truth and the quest for it."

    The relevance of religious artifacts such as the dead sea scrolls is pretty obvious.

    Only in hindsight. Before their significance was discovered, they were hung on a tent poles and occasionally taken out to show people.

    My point is that you shouldn't hang this specific discovery on a tent pole.

    Assuming you're one of the parties this is of interest to, let me ask this: of what significance is this find, outside of anthropological circles? Unless it leads us to the missing link, what effect does this knowledge have on the world? What does it change? I suspect that may have been more of what GP's point was.

    Okay, who forgot to shut the door? Looks like a bean counter looking for ROI found their way in.

    When two Bedouin boys stumbled upon some old papers in a cave at Qumran, I will bet money that they no idea of the significance of their find either.

    Eventually I get to the real problem. The drone who sold me the upgrade had marked my account for termination instead of upgrade. Sadly, I'm not kidding.

    Maybe said drone is also a customer and their conscience stepped in?

    Firefox + NoScript + Adblock Plus alone does alright for me. NoScript has options to block embedded content under options so adding FlashBlocker is a little redundant for my taste.

    Remember AC, it was you who pointed out that the obvious needed to be pointed out.

  18. Re:Just complaining on Technical Objections To the Ogg Container Format · · Score: 1

    So you needed the caveat "Hes right, unless hes lying" brought to your attention? You somehow could not figure this out all by yourself?

  19. Re:Just complaining on Technical Objections To the Ogg Container Format · · Score: 1

    I pity the AC who needs blatantly obvious caveats like "If he lied about the details of the Ogg format, then his conclusions are invalid" pointed out to them.

  20. Re:Just complaining on Technical Objections To the Ogg Container Format · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    My contention is this:

    If he lied about the details of the Ogg format, then his conclusions are invalid (ex falso quodlibet).

    The point you make here is obvious but from an apparent position of authority you emphasized this and bring it to my attention. From that, I inferred that you may have some doubts about the details presented.

    I have not verified the format does what he says it does

    In actuality, you don't know and haven't bothered.

    Sincerely, Thanks for providing the logic analysis but I think it would be foolish of me to draw a conclusion from only half the answer.

    You didn't have to state that, we can infer it from the rest of your comment.

    Are you kidding? There is no way in hell I'm leaving to chance that someone will infer from a post genuine ignorance on a subject and a desire to actually learn something from a troll on slashdot.

    Thanks for the schoolin'

    Thats not what he said. He said Hes right, unless hes lying.

    Is it your contention that TFA is lying?

    My contention is that by including the disclaimers and specifically pointing out that TFA could by lying, and making this point twice to emphasizing it, he's asking me as the reader to seriously to consider that possibility and in the end, he's done as much to remove his support of TFA as he did to support it.

    Okay, I admit I am not very savvy on this technicalities of this discussion. I'm interested and trying to understand but this post confuses the hell out of me.

    And he's right. Unless the technical details of Ogg are not as he represented them

    He's right. unless he's wrong.

    I've not looked at Ogg in detail, but I have written multimedia apps and his complaints are right on the mark.

    I've not looked into the detail but the complaints about them are correct ( how do you know? You admit that he could be wrong and have not verified the data )

    Even if most of them are untrue, the point about timestamps would have been a show stopper.

    Even if he's lied his ass off, I'll still believe him on this point.

    Just seems to me you started typing before you decided to believe the article yourself Raven.
