    Or use an Arduino. Toooootally fake.

    Cyanogenmod it.

  6. Re:Fuck Security on Android 5.0 Makes SD Cards Great Again · · Score: 1

    There's a reason Google stopped including SD slots in flagship devices.

    To force users onto Google Drive and cut them off from their data when in remote locations.

    Stop buying subsidized phones. Get off the lame contract bandwagon and take care of your own hardware. I know for certain my unlocked phone is getting an update soon and I won't have to deal with any Verizon BS.

  8. Re:My take... on Tech Recruiters Defend 'Blacklists,' Lack of Feedback, Screening Techniques · · Score: 1

    More experienced prospectives get handed off to the more established recruiters.

    That sort of thing really irritates me. It's like working with a car dealer who has no authority to do anything without going back to talk to his manager.

    The H1B problem is largely a West coast issue. Move out of that cesspool and you'll find greener pastures.

  10. Re:Who pays for TSB investigation on Some Virgin Galactic Customers Demand Money Back · · Score: 1

    Your argument is about class envy

    It's about the wealthy getting disproportional benefits and services from a government they've co-opted for their own benefit.

    SS2 is just a toy for the rich who want to play with hopping around the planet. Virgin is shifting part of its R&D costs to taxpayers who will never be able to use it by making bogus claims about pioneering a new field in commercial aviation. If there were a real market for mass high speed travel we would have a profitable successor to the Concorde.

    The problem is that SS2 is just a playtoy for the rich. Should we also fund investigations into deaths caused by America's Cup boats?

    make up for it with a shorter work week

    Good luck with that. At least it beats the company I interviewed who wouldn't pay a cent more than $75K while expecting a minimum of 45 hours a week from their slaves.

  13. Re:I have experienced this first hand on The Great IT Hiring He-Said / She-Said · · Score: 1

    I cringe at the lack of entry level postings I see these days. I suspect the only way to get a foot in the door with a fresh degree is to work the job fairs and bypass the online recruiter crap.

  14. Re:Dice could fix it on Tech Recruiters Defend 'Blacklists,' Lack of Feedback, Screening Techniques · · Score: 2

    Have you seen how little "market share" Dice gets? Indeed has swamped them by providing direct links to all the businesses fed up with going through Monster. Dice has never been a major player.

  15. Re:They're scared. on Tech Recruiters Defend 'Blacklists,' Lack of Feedback, Screening Techniques · · Score: 1

    I once told a company I knew was heavily dependent on employees with security clearances that I wasn't going to apply for one. The job posting made no mention of them at all. I was assured that wasn't an issue (required by law) and I would still be interviewed. Then mysteriously, a few days later, the interview had to be canceled and I never heard back.

  16. Re:Hiring managers perspective on The Great IT Hiring He-Said / She-Said · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Also, you can't hire people with too much self-esteem. People with self-esteem are always asking if they can be managers and constantly leaving you just because someone offered them more money.

    Not necessarily. A smart manager grooms his own replacement. If his superiors are confident someone can slip into his place, a promotion is more likely. I've had people ask about my management aspirations in an obvious tell that they are looking for that person.

  17. Re:It's Quite a Lot of Fuckery To Be Sure on The Great IT Hiring He-Said / She-Said · · Score: 1

    It'd be funny if this entire process goes full circle and we end up with job postings in classified sections of local papers.

    I do see postings every once in a while with a mailing address as the only point of contact.

  18. Re:Let me speak for every one here on The Great IT Hiring He-Said / She-Said · · Score: 2

    There is no HR any more. That's part of the problem. My first job came from a corporate HR employee who found me online and contacted me directly. Now all the dedicated HR roles are gone with the necessary administrative bits delegated to former secretaries. All the searching for new candidates is outsourced to the idiot recruiters who act like over judgemental gatekeepers to inflate their own sense of value.

    I don't pick up my Android phone or tablet and think "boy, if it only had this feature that iOS has, it would be a complete device".

    Whenever I use an iOS app I always wonder how do I go back to the previous screen.

    No. But the scale of the abuse going on at the ITT techs and Phoneix U's completely dwarfs that of the "non-profit" schools.

    They already have an effective way to block Vimeo downloads. None of the in-browser extensions work. It's only a matter of time before that spreads to all of YT.

  25. Re:pay money for youtube? on YouTube Considering an Ad-Free, Subscription-Based Version · · Score: 1

    Doesn't happen with ABP. What is somewhat disturbing is the visible flaws in ABP these days where you get a momentary load of an ad video that is "broken" before switching to the real one. That never used to happen.
