In WV they are building a road in the eastern panhandle called Corridor H thru some rugged mountains. Lot's of blasting. Signs telling you to turn off your cell phone while driving thru lest they set of the charges unexpectedly.
Different issues, but still a phone causing a big bang unexpectedly.
you never take personal calls on that phone at work after all
so get a company phone vibrating alert on your for emergencies
Christ. If American companies wanted to get real about productivity they would have a couple of shared and very public workstations for NECESSARY web access... and disable port 80 to **everyone's** desktop.
Cat-5e for phone and computers 14 gauge for stereo coax for tv
every room
The electrician will know the codes and be licensed - you can handle the jacks afterwards.
Worrying about the cost of Cat-5e v Cat-3 for phones is a bit retarded after you've just dropped $250K or so on the place. Plus you may decide to use the phone cable for data one day.
Sounds like this guy bought a home from Ryland or Pulte and if thue this would be the case 9as posted originally).
People who buy such homes and pick out what options they want often call this "having a home built." This is not the case. This house is being built regardless: you are just purchasing it beforehand. A subtle but crucial difference.
However if he was having a custom home built (say on some land he owns) the story is quite different.
In that case:
1) the house is indeed yours before the work is done - it is in your name, you are paying the mortgage, and you have the right to fire the GC at anytime. (Can of worms - a big one - but you can do it.)
2) the GC is paid in draws - what work is done when and by who is decieded beforehand when making the draw schedule. Both GC and homeowner sign off on the draw before the bank releases the funds. If there is a dispute the bank doesn't release the funds until it is resolved end of story.
Well you are right about that - my cvs-centricness pervades all rational thought.
However my post was not a troll (any more than the orignal story is at any rate), and is sound even if the sources aren't in cvs... because when you look at the change logs http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/Change Log-2.6.4 and see BS like "fix build breakage" immediately after the same guy committed something that says "Fix compilation warning in bond_alb.c" well we can see just the type of developer is working on the kernel.
But I guess in Open Source land changes that don't compile are worthy of being committed.
So take that truth and shove straight up your ass.
...the laborers who helped gut it were hispanic. As were the dry wall guys, and the painters. The carpenter was I don't know what - I am guessing Uzebistan (sp).
The electrician was a redneck American (as am I... well WV hillbilly more describes me). The plumber was black with a trace of Nigerian in his voice.
The HVAC guy was from Poland.
My point? Well, IT was full if foreigners before they decided to wholesale ship it offshore... the only difference is that home improvement requires the person to be onsite. I can't think of a way to change this - yet. But then again a month ago I went to Okinowa - my entire hotel room was modular and prefab....
...when we will atleast have a semblance of knowing just how things went?
Slashdot: the favorite board of the Kneejerks. But we already know this based on the professed undying devotion to how perfect Linux is.... nevermind that something as fundemental as setting up a printer is damn near impossible regardless of how "cool" everyone says CUPS is.
Because South Carolina and it's residents contribute to the same tax revenue pool as I do. Hence the money, and the tax revenue that the money generates, doesn't really leave.
Yes I lose my job... and then end up moving to SC if it comes to that all the while enjoying the benefits of being a resident of the USA.
Christ, did you think over this "thought" experiement for even 8 seconds?
Slashdot Mirror
VC++.NET 2003 is $99 - and I recently found a copy for $79.
Not that I think they would have paid (assuming they used that tool) - but it is pretty cheap.

Way to completely miss the point of language independence.
Why someone would be such an ass is a mystery to me.
This, coming from a monumental ass if I do say so myself!

But why inject objectivity and reality into an otherwise excellent discussion?
Should I, Bill Gates:
a) design the software to make me the richest man on earth, or
b) design the software so that a bunch of penguin wankers can down load it for free while I struggle to pay my rent
Hmm...
...many high tech weapons work perfectly.
...not this Real World crap. Or change the name of the channel.
2) let Dish what they want to offer.
Personally I hate it that *I* have to choose from a package from Dish.
...to the one who come up with it.
So it is indeed theft.
When is the last time you repaired your late model car yourself?
So people do, but most do not.

..whether I like it or not, and do it with a smile.
Not because I crave money, but because I have a family to feed.

The Redneck planet!

Believe it or not I actually had a Canadian girlfriend.... no, really I did!
... in the eyes of management who are so rich they don't need to work in the first place.
so they seem to work for me.
... because now it gets lots of free ink.
However, I guess it is a good preemptive move incase something similar but really great comes out.
