I could not agree more. If they stopped pulling in the actors that think they require 20 million per movie, and bring somebody in and pay them 250k for a movie (I would be thrilled as hell personally if I worked for one year and made that), then the budgets would drop way down. Seriously big movie industry, stop throwing money around and, gasp, for once, act like a business. I hate the way big business conducts itself, but if the movie industry did this, their profits would shoot through the roof. Sure, Will Smith, Nick Cage, Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis, and those guys would be out on the streets since apparently they can't handle anything less than 20 million, we get the same movie, but with a new face. It would be nice, as we would associate with the character more than the actor. I would rather not know who in the hell the actor is, because I will associate the actor to that movie and not their role in Die Hard and then when this movie is not as good, compare it to Die Hard.
I told you not to hit the ESC key and you hit it anyway, so of course you are losing all of your progress. I even put in the document, "Do not hit ESC, you will lose all your progress". You hit is anyway. I told you not to do it, so stop trying to push it on me. It is not my fault you hit ESC
It is the consumer/user error. I do not like this new step they think is helping, but at least people besides us computer nerds are finally starting to fess up to the fact that most of the world sucks on computers
That is because she was a crappy hacker. She needed the help of ZEROCOOL a.k.a. Crash Override a.k.a. Dade Murphy. Don't forget about Razor and Blade, they are elite.
Based on the fact that their demands seem to deal solely with the R&D department, yes. Summer interns, taking phone calls, something small time. Their demands simply do not encompass enough to run a company as big as Nokia. Their plans only include the R&D department.
That is assuming alot. For entry level, yes. For higher positions, it is too much of a risk to bring a college kid in. These kids are trying to push their way into being the Board of Directors. Do you know how much money a director at a major company makes? Once they get a taste of that cash, not much will change. Also, what managerial skills do these kids have, let alone upper management skills? Instead of pulling in a college kid, you can outsource for even cheaper. It is business. This will not shake much. The CEO will not step down. The Board of Directors will not walk away. Any big time investor will see this as kids complaining on the internet. The only cover R&D in their business plan. If they are now the majority of the Board of Directors, they will need to all handle their departments as well. None of that is covered here. That will be a huge thing that will make investors laugh at this.
That would be like me making a blog post saying that I want to be the CEO of Microsoft, and that the current one should step down, and then only talk about the X-Box 360 platform. There is much more to Microsoft than that.
When they update their business plan to cover more than R&D and them all becoming the majority of the Board of Directors, more people will listen. Until then, they should really take a few business courses to find out how a huge business makes money. Bringing in kids with no experience as directors and the only business plan they thought out was for R&D. R&D is a very small piece of most companies. If this worked, I would seriously put money down that the company would last 2 to 3 years max before it files for bankruptcy and went under. Those kids need to learn that there is more to a company than the 1 small piece they pay attention to
Aggressively recruit young software talent from top universities. Nokia Recruiting to actively visit top universities worldwide to screen and and invite top students for interviews in Nokia R&D locations. Establish a credible and rewarding technical career progression path in Nokia (to avoid the best talent leaving the company or becoming management overhead). Offer internationally competitive salaries to new talent (if necessary, significantly above local market salaries). Establish Nokia as a company where the best and the brightest want to work.
Yeah, keep dreaming kid. I tried to get a job at Google, Microsoft, and other big companies right out of the gate and that did not happen. Do you honestly think it will happen, ever? I wish the world worked that way, but it doesn't. As a big company, do you think they would rather hire some kid right out of the gate that has no experience in cell phone programming/Symbian, or a person that has been doing it for 5 years? Be realistic with some of this.
This sounds like some college kids making a letter to say that they would want to do a takeover of the company (TFA
If you elect us to a majority in the Nokia Board of Directors we will take the following concrete actions:
).
I came to the college kids conclusion from the fact that anybody in the industry would not say that they would pull in college kids right out of the gate without experience. That is a huge risk.
Seriously, what they want to do is take-over, fire everybody, stop all out sourcing, and bring in college kids. That sentence summarizes the article quite nicely. Unless they had some weight as share-holders, this is just something posted on/. that will either get laughed at or never see the light of day at anybody who has weight in Nokia.
Sorry to reply to myself, but I thought of another thing. As Jim Cramer has vouched for in his interview done by Jon Stewart about Mad Money, they really are just faces that repeat what the people cutting checks tell them to say.
It is simpler than that. Look at where he works, Fox News. Fox News has been trying to bash Google for awhile (Google the results for verification on that). He is just some monkey boy repeating what the people cutting the paychecks tell him to say.
Well, there is no way it would get a greenlight if they used it for entertainment purposes. They had to make it for educational purposes. I guess the closes thing for teaching with this would be those subjects
It sounds like anytime you want something, you run to upper management. I guess you will be a manager firing people in no time with that kind of attitude. Good job. You are successfully not seen as much of an IT person, but a corporate person that pushes people around under him/beside him by getting in with upper management. I would not consider your story as much of an IT story as much as a corporate "push your weight around" story. Sure, it happened in the IT department, but it could possibly happen in any department.
Well sometimes one manager leaves and a new one comes in. It happened to me. I am 28, and this guy was 29, and he never listened to what anybody told him. I think proper communication is key. This guy would not talk to his employees about a problem. He would flat-out give them a citation (or write-up) without any warning. Look, if we mess up and know we mess up, that is one thing, but if we have no idea we mess up, maybe the manager should talk to us instead of just throwing write-ups around
If they don't have a working model, then they don't really have it outside of a piece of paper, do they? When it comes to codecs, use it or lose it. Sure they can write something up, so they should. If all you have is a piece of paper saying you own something, but you don't have it, well that is pretty dumb if you ask me. You don't truly own it since you don't have it. You say that you do so that you can sue if anybody really makes it. That needs to be stopped. These are to the point where companies are owning ideas. That is why we have not seen many super innovative thing in the software market. Sure, there are some incredible ones out there that are new, do not get me wrong, but there could be so many more if these companies did not "buy ideas".
I am a web developer by day, and am a software developer by night. I make software so that I can sell it. One of my biggest worries is that I will make a really great piece of software, start selling it, then some big company filled with lawyers starts suing me because it run in Windows, and according to some messed up, obscure patent, I can't do that. I understand that they would not touch me right now since, let's face it, none of you have heard of me (as with the rest of the world). I am not banking hardcore. It is possible that one single program I write will though. That is a very high possibility. I try to program safe and not go too insane with the software I make and sell. If I go insane and make something incredible, these sleazy, douchbag lawyers will want a piece of my pie even though they had nothing to do with it, so they sue me. You should not be allowed to simply buy up a patent. You should be required to have a working model of what the patent is for. If you have a software patent for software that does not exist and you have no proof it exists, why are you allowed to own it? You have nothing to do with the software outside of a small piece of paper saying it. You have no programmers on payroll. You have no engineers on payroll. You are not paying or contracting anybody to make these innovations, you simply own them to say you do. I think it should be revamped to make these people show proof of concept at the very minimum in order to own a patent. Unfortunately, for people like me who make just as much selling software on the side as I do at my normal job (and it is not a small amount, it is just not big either), it is only a matter of time before the "I can retire now" software gets sold off, and then I get sued for some software patent from a company that has nothing to do with software outside of having a piece of paper saying they can. Proof of concept, or you lose it.
If these patent trolls started losing patents for no proof of concept, that would up the innovation then and there as other big companies would be bringing in people to make a proof of concept so they could own the patent. A 2 for 1 deal and it is super simple. Innovation gets sparked, and patent trolls get smacked in the face. And all we do is force the patent trolls to show proof of concept of every single patent they own.
Now that WikiLeaks has competition, it would make sense to try and stop that competition. When you have a site like OpenLeaks that is all about anonymously leaking information, trying to say that they are not trusted with that would possibly hurt them. I think it is good there are multiple sources doing this. I don't see what WikiLeaks problem is with it. If they are truly in this to spread information to the masses, then the more sites that do it, the easier it will be for the information to get released.
Hehehe, save face? You posted up a crappy joke that you could not think of yourself. Only I read it. I thought it was stupid, and since I thought it was stupid, that makes me retarded? Maybe next time you should think of your own humor or post something better. No go to your room. You are grounded young man. I warned you about your misbehaving. No television or video games for a week. If you do all of your chores, I might let you still go to the sleep-over with your friends.
You are just pissed because you posted British humor and the only person who was nice enough to read it thinks British humor is crappy. Face it, nobody but me and you are reading this deep into this. If you want to score some extra mod points there, maybe next time try to post something that is a little cooler than british humor, since what you posted sucks.

But if they went PG-13, there would have been no big blue glowing weenis? Come on, that was in like half of the movie.
Maybe a giant blue glowing peenster will help out?

I was under the impression that the comics had him wearing a speedo instead of his peenster blowing in the wind.
