I know you prefer the 'obedience' of the h1b indentured servant worker. they are generally younger, they are willing to do anything that they are told and they are under constant fear of being deported. they are the perfect little worker-bee who won't question you and will lick your boots nice and clean, as needed.
lets all call a spade a spade, shall we? we know why the older worker is being pushed out.
let me school you on *reading* since you are having trouble even logging in...
if you want to read between the lines, read this:
"dear management: your request to work yet another weekend for YOUR company is being declined. your lack of want, in hiring the proper amount of staff to get the job done is NOT my problem and I'm not willing to give up time from my life, weekend after weekend just so that your bonus check can be even bigger"
signed,
guy who's old enough to see thru mgmt's BS. your 'emergency' is not MY emergency. its not my company; you guys made that abundantly clear over the last few decades.
think long and hard about it. while you dance today, tomorrow will be different.
and that thought actually gives me delight. the SOB bastards that are fucking me and my kind over right now; they'll soon experience it and while I won't be there to laugh, I'll laugh now in advance.
but the place where it needs to be discussed - the national stage of public opinion, perhaps prompted by news coverage (crickets chirping sound heard) - it is NOT discussed. its swept under the rug.
I'm in the bay area, I'm over 50 and I've been a sw/hw guy since my teens. I'm currently out of work, looking, and its been dead for months, for me, so far. this is typical and usual, sad to say, and I have a little more time left before I'm empty and near bankruptcy again. yet again. I don't know if I'll ever see reliable employment in tech ever again.
I have tons of experience and a great resume. but I'm older, white, male, independant and aware of management's BS; and I guess ALL of that is out of favor for hiring prospects.
I really wish this was made more visible to non-geeks. taking to geeks is not useful, about this, as we all know about it already.
so, whatever we want to do, I'm all for it. chaos, anarchy, I don't give a fuck anymore.
its clear as day; the legal system is useless for regular people and its gamed by those in power. and yes, the kkk has power, oddly enough. in some dank southern towns, they have scary amounts of power. and did the legal system do anything? of course not; in some towns, the legal system is overlapped by kkk membership!
no, the legal system has failed us. it would be great if it still worked, but clearly its broken and the repairman has been outsourced, so he's nowhere to be found...
intelligent design is about an infintely wise and powerful god.
look at our universe. you see this as a result of a strong, powerful, intelligent and caring being?
by all accounts, our creator failed ethics, had a grade-school level understanding of math and suffered bipolar tendancies. when you think of it that way, what we have here makes perfect sense.
we simply didn't get one of the good gods to create us. we got a bully or smart alec.
Why would living in a simulation make life any more pointless than it is now ?
as long as there's central air, good healthcare and tasty bacon, I could care less. and yes, you need the 2nd because of the 3rd, I fully realize that.
the best I could say about our 'god' is, that he's a bit of an underachiever and likely a B- student. I suspect he left out a few 10k pullups and some.1uF bypasses. this would explain the instability that we're seeing in this reality.
will there be any reasonable return on this 'investment' ? of course not! everyone who cares will be dumping this model of phone as soon as they possibly can.
nice that our fbi ASSHOLES waste money on ego bullshit. really nice.
power positions attract the wrong people and to get INTO a power position means you have to be the lowest of the low. and then, once you get into power, you end up even worse and more corrupted then when you first entered office.
the system encourages this, too. honest won't get you elected. and those elected have fully given up on trying to make things better for the little people. they now see office as a way to line their pockets and do as much damage at they can, then it will be someone else's problem.
other than bernie, I can't think of a single politician who has been even partially honest and trustworthy in the last 30 years.
they are all bad. I don't trust a single one of them. like salesman, if their lips move, they are lying.
sad to have to say this, but this is the bed we made;(
in fact, recent usb chipsets have broken usb audio on both linux and win7 (all that I have that I can test with). uac2 audio is very broken in many usb/audio dongles and it seems to be the chipset that is bad since both win7 and all linux flavors have stutter/jitter issues that make it unusable for 24/96 audio (even 16/44 stutters).
go to a usb2 chipset from 3 years ago or more, works fine for all dongles and all os's.
wonder what intel did to break audio. I have to use older systems for my audio playback, now.
yup - the governments have all played that card too many times, they have cried 'wolf!' and now we are totally desensitized to it.
I could care less about 'terrorism' or 'child porn' or anything else they want to make me feel AFRAID about. if the government wants it, its bad. that's how many of us feel, now. we have extreme distrust in anything the government says. they have ruined their rep beyond repair, world-wide (not a US problem but a human problem).
I truly cannot tell who the bad guys are, anymore. but likely, if someone is 'here to help' they are likely a bad guy. my, now things have flipped on us!
Cookies have many important uses; most of them perfectly legitimate with no privacy ramifications.
care to offer any proof for this asertion?
my experience - and likely that of EVERYONE ELSE - is that most cookes ARE there for tracking. did you ever look at them? ever see the 3rd party sites that store shit on your browser?
webmasters are out of control. they essentially report to the marketing dept, these days (unofficially, but the marketing guys run the show, which is why the web is in the ruined state it is, now).
pops, mouse-overs, model dialogs, all kinds of evil shit by these assholes and their minions. if I go to a popular website (which I rarely do) and see the adblock or noscript list of 'do you want to ok any of these?' the list is huge! more crap than content! this is what we now have. a web full of bullshit and junk for the 'regular people' and only the edge sites that are not mainstream can be viewed by those who have locked down their browsers and don't let them run rogue code from any old website.
so often, I'll go to a site, see a blank page, know that I was just saved a whole shitload of crap being thrown at me, I control-w it and move on to something else. fuck them and their javascript and cookie crap.
the web has, for the most part, turned as bad as television. both are sickening to view, when it comes to the mainstream sites.
again, its all the marketing and advertising pukes that have ruined a good thing. its always the case with those assholes, too. they can't leave good things alone.
Everybody tracks though.... essentially.... every major company has reasons to; it's not a privacy issue; it's to the users' benefit, and should not be impeded by the government.
here's some advice for you: DIE IN A FIRE, ASSHOLE
can't tell if you are serious or trolling, or maybe even a paid shill.
but to come here and support spying - get the fuck out! just leave. your bootlicking views are not wanted here.
I hate 'webmasters' and how they think their job is to pull a fast one over the users.
ever look at yahoo's javascript, for example? its done on purpose to stop you from making meaningful global filters for adblock, etc.
the term 'webmaster' has devolved into something not worthy of respect (not sure it ever was, but now that web means 'content management engines' and not just content) and tricky ways to fuck you, the visitor, over, I am all for anything that makes THEIR lives harder and more painful.
see, they have become as slimey as salespeople and marketers. all people that are worthy of scorn and distrust.
they want to cry to me that they 'cant write web code' unless they force cookies and other stateful info on you?
fire them all and start all over again. 'nuke them from orbit' so to speak. the whole web thing is broken at this point and needs a complete redo anyway.
I was always curious; for those that are *sure* they picked the right religion, how CAN you be so sure?
its not hard to pick the right temperature that water freezes or boils. we all agree on that, at least for a C or F or K scale.
but there are no guidelines in picking a religion. in fact, they are all different, all say different things, all are *sure* they have special magic info that others do not, and yet they don't allow updates or revisions (clearly, a bad sign) and they offer no proof other than 'we said so!'.
so, how can a thinking person be very religious? I can understand being unsure and maybe covering all bases 'just in case' but how can someone be VERY religious?
does the fact that there are 100 other religions in the world not bother you and give you pause to think that they are ALL products of man, intended to control and to some degree, organize mankind into collective groups?
if someone told me they had to wake up every day, jump up and down 20 times before leaving their house, I'd think they were insane. arbitrary rules that don't make a bit of sense.
this will solve itself in the next 5 or 10 years, at most. I know of only 1 person that actually HAS cable for tv use. everyone else is ip-only and downloads content or get it some other way. no one but one guy has catv (I needed something 'taped' on a very rare occasion and really had to beat the bushes to find someone who still did have cable tv).
everyone young that I know, downloads (you know what I mean).
watching tv - with commercial - on their time or even using their recorder? nah, we've given that up. horse left the barn years ago.
no one cares anymore but very old people and they are dying off.

see my point?
If "the cloud" meant that costumers pay less, Intel wouldn't be switching to it.
ah! so that's why my last Intel sales rep's email started out with "trick or treat!". now I get it.
or maybe '...and, whitey's on the moon'.
it even fits the angst, too.
