Sodas, pop, 'Coke' are dirt cheap when bought in bulk.. how else can fast food places give free refills and cheap buckets of the stuff.
I think perks like that really do help company morale. My current employer has a Keurig in the kitchen at every office and stocks up on a variety of k-cups. Those who like coffee (the majority) love it. I dig the hot chocolate myself.
It's one of the cheapest ways to boost morale and give employees something they can use while at work.
Actually, we have one. It is our first gaming console..
We waiting until our kids were old enough to handle the responsibility. My son plays Lego Star Wars games as much as we allow it, my daughter plays her Hello Kitty game and we all like to play Just Dance 4 (also a good way for sedentary types to get up and burn some calories).
I guess that's how they make their Foursquare check-ins and Facebook status updates?

We're ticked off at the way you've treated California and we've decided we're leaving.
We intend to form our own country and we're taking the other Blue States with us.
In case you aren't aware that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast.
We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly:
You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.
We get stem cell research and the best beaches.
We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay.
We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand.
We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.
We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.
We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs.
You get Alabama.
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states
pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.
Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro choice and anti war and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home.
We wish you success in Iraq and hope that the WMDs turn up but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.
With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90% of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the US low sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven
Sister schools plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.
With the Red States you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush
Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.
38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.
We're taking the good pot too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico.
Actually, the H-1B excuse is bogus. I was able to recently talk to the head of HR at the company I work for. I discussed H-1B visas with them and was surprised when I was told that actually H-1B visa workers are expensive to setup and a ton of paperwork headaches. We were looking for a few database people to fill some positions and the HR person told me they turned down a high percentage of applicants because they were H-1B's.
Now maybe for a company like Microsoft it's not a problem.. they have money and lawyers to handle the paperwork. But for a company that doesn't have buckets of money and a legal department that can crush a small country it's not really an option. As for the off shoring of development.. from my experience that doesn't always go so well, guarantee or not.
Good advice, sad that you have to go to this amount of effort for a smart phone or tablet.. You would think devices like these should be by default set in the most secure configuration requiring the end user to open them up as they find it necessary.
Yep, a country that is so Catholic that prayers are broadcast in malls and yet people still have superstitions about witches and curses...
Yes the Philippines is definitely a very backward country where you can spend $20 to have your way with a 'spinner' while watching people walk to mass outside your window...
Because no one has a truly secure solution that won't be hacked by a 12 year old exposing all of your 'secure' accounts in one step.
Right now, as long as you don't use the same login and password for every online account you only suffer minor losses if one account get's hacked.
With a single sign on you just reduced their work load to one effort.
I suppose that technique would boil down to basically use the grammar most likely used by the persona you are targeting much like in advertising. So if you are targeting people less educated or computer savvy, then use poor grammar and misspell words.
That's exactly what I was referring to: links that are masked/hidden. And on a browser for a tablet, which has no gesture to show the target URL in a status bar, pretty much all links are masked/hidden.
Again, when someone is purposefully trying to deceive you it comes down to: Person A sent me a link, do I trust them? or I'm on Website X do I trust their content?
Microsoft at least seems to think "as good as your last update" is good enough, seeing how strongly Windows Security Center recommends installing a real-time antivirus.
I don't have any Microsoft products in my home.
For a short time, until other subscribers to your filter click "Report this site" enough.
True and then when my business dries up, someone buys the domain and starts a site about Puppies and Kittens and has to fight to get the site white-listed. We will all have to see unpleasant things in our lifetimes, shit happens. We just have to learn how to deal with it. I don't like seeing Michelle Bachman or Mitt Romney, but I deal with it when CNN puts them front and center on their homepage. In the end people need to learn how to talk to their children about what is out there and we all need to be just a little less sensitive.
Everyone cries about every little thing that they find the least bit objectionable. I don't like pickups with plastic testicles hanging from them, but that doesn't mean I call the cops. Religious groups cry about things that are offensive to them because of their beliefs.. well, many things religious offend me. But they aren't going to stop believing or practicing their religion because I don't like it. So I don't think we should have to bend to their wills either. If you can't take living somewhere where there are people who don't believe as you do, then move to where people believe as you do.
What method of "NOT GOING" did you have in mind? If you mean just not keying in the URLs of objectionable sites, what should you do if someone cites a document in support of his argument, but when you click the link to view the document, it ends up being a shock site?
Exactly, don't type it in, don't search for it on Google, don't click on a link going there (assuming the link is not masked/hidden). As far as Shock Sites.. well, for adults.. I hope you can handle that moment of discomfort and for children you could be filtering as I said above. But filters are like virus definitions.. only as good as your last update. If I name a porn site 'Puppiesandkittens.com' and don't use any 'bad words' in the content I'm pretty sure it will defeat the filters.
For my kids I don't filter the web, I limit the time they spend on it, but not where they go. If they go somewhere they shouldn't I say something to them about it as a responsible parent. I know that is alien to a good portion of the population today, but I would TALK to my kids about it. The other solution to kids going where they "shouldn't" on the net.. the computer is located in the living room where everyone is, not in their rooms. IF they ever get a computer of their own that is in their own rooms, it will because they have proven themselves to be responsible enough to deserve it.
Religious groups can go and fuck themselves, I've had enough of superstitious groups trying to change the world to their liking, really it's too much. if some idiot needs to censor what he sees, install dans guardian or similar. geeze, leave the net alone
I wish I had mod points, I'd mod you insightful with all of them. I'm not a UK citizen, but I think if I were.. I'd want the option to filter content based on my own beliefs and opinions by NOT GOING to the sites that I find objectionable. It's kind of like TV or Radio.. you don't like it? find it offensive? Do watch/listen or go there.
As far as filtering for kids.. well basic porn filters for schools and then filter to your own preference at home. Not that Johnny or Jane shouldn't be able to research porn at school for valid reasons.. but we don't want Johnny viewing porn at school, school can be embarrassing enough for guys without having porn crank up the blood flow.
And on top of all that.. Religious groups can go fuck themselves, instead of the rest of the world for once.
Funny because on all online forms I am Bill Gates or Steve Jobs and I always live on Elm Street, 1 Infinity Loop or some other nonsense like that.
Oh and I'm 122 years old, go big.. be an outlier.
What no Guantanamo Bay for him?

Oh wait.. this is an open source community that understood what his intentions where and didn't have a knee jerk reaction.
What I guess intelligence trumps mass panic and ignorance.
Yep true, so we use the phrase on Gov't that they like to throw at us.
"If you have nothing to hide, then you'll have no problem with us taking a look." (paraphrased)
the election board had the common sense to ask for this publicly and not cross their fingers and hope no one did this when they used it for real.
More gov't entities should open up to testing like this.
Ramen! I'm no Mr. Awesome, but 20 years has not done many much good. Some are just plain sad, FB lets you see that from a distance before you have to deal with it in your face in a very public social gathering.

I think it's only 5 days a week now, apparently the rank and file tea baggers didn't like paying their party dues.. so they had to cut back.
Exactly what I thought when I first heard about it.
If you bitch and moan non-stop about taxes and not wanting to pay taxes, I think that would make you a demographic of interest in the eyes of the IRS.

nothing wrong with being batshit crazy.. nope not at all.
My iPhone 4s is running great on iOS 6.. and I've had NO issues with the Maps app.
I think a better analogy would be McDonalds.. Billions served.. but what was the quality of the food served? I always prefer quality of quantity.
