This is exactly the reason why things like IM are blocked at firewalls. because someone wants to read their PERSONAL/business email at work, when they should be working. so what if you have lunch breaks when it is your personal time? if your PERSONAL/business email is that important, quit your job and work from home. quit whining and bitching about what your employer LEGITIMATELY blocks.
yes, I am a sys admin and maintain the firewall at work. however, I work for a government regulatory agency with no records subject to a Freedom of Information Act. There is a reason we restrict access through our network and why we lock down Internet access to only those ports and services required.
and before you get your panties in a bunch, No, we do not use IM at our agency since we have no reason to. if there was a valid reason, I would still investigate all security concerns before allowing it to be used, since I don't need any holes in my network.
and if you think you are so hot-shit at security, why don't you try hacking me? give 127.0.0.1 a try, moron....
Bush sees error of his ways, signs Kyoto Treaty!

Baked Alaska

"In an ironic twist, managers of the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline are putting in supports to keep the pipeline from breaking as permafrost thaws."
so, let me guess? now Bush is going to sign off on the Kyoto treaty because global warming has been proven. the only reason he would sign off on it now, rather than earlier, would be to save his oil-buddies asses up there. all that oil splashing on the ground is lost profits, doncha know!
If you don't ask for a raise, you don't get it. When is the last time a company ever offered you a raise with no prodding (other than the usual token raise once per year)? I have had that happen, but it is definitely not the "norm". Ask and ye shall receive!
B.S.! I wrote an email to my boss while waiting for my annual eval. Within 2 days, he had my eval. Not only did I not get a raise that I hinted at needing and believed I had earned "...and would be very appreciative since I believe this company has provided me with the opportunity to learn and move forward [from my email to the boss]", I was informed that I had done nothing to earn it and would actually be getting zero...zip...nada....zilch. When I asked if there was any complaints my job knowledge, customer service work, etc (this was in tech support), he said there were none, I had a problem being a "team player". Well, fuck you very much!
3 months later I was in a MUCH better position doing IT audit/penetration testing, a REAL career in computer security, WITH a 20% PAYRAISE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! with another 5 payraise within 6 months afterward AND no dickhead boss, may he rot in hell at the company which is losing MUCH money!
you must be deaf if you can withstand "daddddeeeeee! when you coming out of there? come ONNNNNN!!!!!" for 15 solid minutes. it used to be the porcelain throne was the only place I got peace and quiet. now I'm seriously thinking of building a sound-proof room, with double doors and acoustic tile, in the basement. let that be my meditation room. who knew I would give up so much when I got married?
there's only 1 problem with your little scenario here. most, if not all stockbrokers, will not short a penny stock. in addition, the stock has to have enough daily trading volume in order for you to make enough money on the difference.
ok, so you made 21 cents/share. how many shares would you have to sell in order to make $10,000? well, obviously, 50,000 shares. however, most penny stocks have a volume of less than 80,000/day. so you are seriously going to tell me that they were moving the market in a hidden fashion where nobody could see it being done? can't be done. that's why it's usually a pump-n-dump scam for penny stocks, not shorting
"Can some American with more than half a brain please point this out to the imbecile US government?"
that's easy to do. however, we're talking about politicians here. by definition (in the U.S. at least) that means 'no brains'.
the American definition of politician
politician = "person who thinks he has the RIGHT to suck at the public tit his whole life while justifying that "I'm just representing my con-stit-chew-ents. I feel their pain when being taxed. after all, I AM a compassionate conservative" "
look at Bush Jr. a COMPLETE failure in business, always gettin' bailed out by daddies oil buddies until they got tired of it and made him invest in the Texas Rangers when it was up for sale. boy howdy! i'd sure like to make $700,000 turn into over $14 million! then he ran for gub'ner and the rest is (shameful) history.
thank god I never voted for that moron. I can hold my head high. can you?
The supply of tech.... Right now it is simply a buyer's market.
1) We can demand experience. We don't have to take the time to train someone and get them up to speed.
2) We don't have to offer the salaries and benefits we did two years ago.
3) You have to be in at the beginning to reap the benefits....best way to secure employment is through personal contact...
I'll vouch for that. If I was hiring, I'd be looking for experience, certs be damned.
let's put it this way. if you even GET a job in the IT industry right now, you'll be damn lucky with all the bloodletting that happened last year. the best thing you can do right now is get an IT job anywhere, doing anything. if your code-fu skills are strong enough, this will appear doing your regular job duties of tech support/sys admin/dba/et cetera. You can then use those skills to leverage your way into a lead position in the department which you can then use to leverage yourself into another department where you really want to be.
besides, starting at ground zero of tech support should teach you some empathy of what techs go thru. thank god I don't do that no more.
with a wife and mortgage, I'm just happy to have a decent paying steady job working for a government IT department. that 's the kind of job you should be looking for, one that pays the bills.
"Cell phone carriers have a valid argument that by tying phones to their service, they can offer more integrated and customer friendly service (sounds familiar?). But that is likely to be
outweighed by the benefits to consumers of giving them phone and number portability between
carriers. The choice between the two is a policy choice, not a legal matter...."
I'm sorry, but that is THE biggest load of horseshit I have ever heard. I have seen cell phones that are identical down to all the features and model #'s. The only difference? One is programmed for one network while the other is programmed for their competitors. How can you justify the statement of "tying phones to service makes it more integrated and customer friendly service"?
And calling most of their customer service friendly? That's like calling tits on a boar hog useful.
I sent Sprint PCS Customer Service three emails asking them "I've been a loyal customer for 4 yrs and need a new phone. What are you going to do to keep me?" Three times they sent a reply back saying "Go into the store and talk to the sales people". Please, I went there once. They had 20 customers and 3 salespeople, one of which was processing payments for customers in line. Why the hell should I even have to go into the store when my issue deals with customer service? When I talked to a re-seller in the mall, they stated that Sprint wouldn't do squat to keep me as a customer, but they were willing to give free phones to new customers.
You want happy customers? Give them the choice to use their own phones AND give them OUTSTANDING Customer Service, not Customer Dis-Service! Barring the current environment, the only way to force those bastards to treat people right, is to give number portability. That is the only thing holding me back right now. I've had my cell# for over 4 yrs and it is tied to me due to the similarity with my house phone. That phone # is my bread-and-butter with my customers. I can't just go and change it.
"As an example. I'm 16 years old, I've played almost every violent computer game since Castle Wolfenstein (Which I played on my Brandnew 386 at the time:-) "

"I also like to do Powerball Wars (using the ghetto.6mm BB berettas from Walmart), its extremly fun, I get to shot my friends, and they shoot back, and it hurts too."
well, bend me over and fuck me with a 10" dildo (since you ain't got nothing else, little boy). it HURTS when you get shot! damn! what will trickle into your retard brain next? Goollllleeeeee! what will he think of next?
you know, there was a president that said it best "There's that reporter, what an asshole!" "Oh yeah, a real big asshole!"
Why don't you just shut your fucking piehole and listen, dipshit? People will respect you more for it when you don't spout off like the retard you so accurately portray yourself as.

whoever mod'd this as Troll should have their modding privileges taken away. it may not have been funny, but Troll? please. especially since somebody else referred to Steve Balmer and wasn't modded as Troll.
you don't have to have a college degree to go in the Nuke program. I should know, I was there (1990), though I already did have a degree. It is a tough program with over a 50% dropout rate. Most of that 50% percent is during the 6-month Nuke school program. You get caught lying, you're gone. You breach ethics, you're gone. You get to many low scores to the point where even if you get perfect scores from there on, you're gone. The final exam is graded 4 (that's right, FOUR) times. The 2nd re-grade catches things like "he made a math err, we'll give it to him". The 3rd re-grade is like "his math was way off but he has the concepts down, we'll give it to him". The 4th re-grade "he had all solid answers but didn't finish the exam in time". That is how tough the program is.
You are not allowed to remove books, notebooks, or folders from the building. All studying is done in the building and you sign in to study. People were doing anywhere from 50-70 hours a week of studying. And that is AFTER being in class all day! It is a damn hard school! Anyone who gets thru that has earned it. And then you still have to go thru nuclear prototype school, where you can STILL fail!
the one problem with the Nuke program is that they do not want you to learn, they want you to memorize the material. If you learn it, you have it memorized. The problem is is that they don't have time for that. The quickest way for them to find if you can hack it AND get you out to the fleet as fast as possible, is to have you memorize it. That was my biggest complaint about the program.
as for being an Eagle Scout, it would help if we had better mentors in my scout troop. there was nobody there ever pushing me to achieve anything so I never got far. maybe earning that may have given me the push later in life. who knows?
1) I don't support governors in cars
2) I don't like the fact that a little black box is narking on me (but I do like the fact that it proves the lie to the otherguy who says "I was obeying the law" when he crashes into me) so I have mixed emotions about it
3) having a driver where he is supposed to be IS an issue. I have a friend who owns a spa business. You can only fit about 6 of those things into an 18-wheeler trailer. the driver kept telling him "i'm in El Paso, TX. i'm leaving tomorrow. (next day) had some mechanical problems, won't be able to leave for another day. (3 days later) I'm in San Antonio now, so I'll be there tomorrow evening. (next day) big wreck on the highway, traffic held up for hours, be there tomorrow morning."
(are you starting to get the drift here?)
no more phone calls for 3 days, my friend needs his product NOW since he is delivering it to customers who have already pre-paid. he calls the company "where's the driver?", (company) "we don't know".
they finally track the truck down.....it's still in El Paso! sitting on the side of the road and the driver is nowhere to be found. my friend found out from the trucking company that apparently this is fairly common (unreliable drivers, that is)
so, having a driver where he is supposed to be is definitely an issue. running my own business where I receive shipments from 18-wheelers, I encounter the same thing but luckily have never had a shipment abandoned on the side of the road.
uhhhh, lessee
1)they DO put governors in cars
2)GMC DID put those little black boxes in some cars a few years back and people got REALLY pissed(not sure if they are still doing it)
3)they DO put GPS on 18-wheelers (trucking companies do) to monitor the drivers to see if they are on time, if they are at where they are supposed to be, comparing time/distance traveled to speed (trucking companies don't need the liabilities of unsafe big-rig drivers)
you don't know how lucky you are. I remember living in Maine years ago (1975-76, to be precise) when my Dad was stationed at Loring A.F.B. Most beautiful country in the world.
Then when I went in the service, I was lucky enough to get stationed at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery in '91-92. Still the most beautiful area in my opinion. I'd trade living in Austin,TX with frigging football fan/morons for the wilds of Bar Harbor anyday!
they got DSL in Vermont? now maybe I can finally convince the wife to move up North where we can have real weather and seasons (and a decent internet connection) instead of being in south Texas all the time.
Though you have a point as to the anonymity of the post office, nobody ever remembers someone dropping off a letter in a big city.
you're wrong, they don't have to remember them because the u.s. post office has cameras inside. remember the girl in Austin, TX who mailed a package to the Gore camp of the Bush strategic campaign materials? they caught her on film.
hell, I think you're all wrong(in respect to Windows that is). you've all missed the obvious one.
what you do is create a second profile. when you reboot the hard drive in a new box after shutting down, you select the second profile so that it will find all the new hardware. the system should work fine. if you start to have problems, you just use your old mobo and other hardware (you DID save it, right?) to get you backup and running.
creating a secondary profile is also what allows you to switch your hard drive between different boxen, like I do all the time. I pull my hard drive out, take it to my buddy's house 100 miles away, stick it in his system and boot, and then show him the slick stuff I got, all without having to backup nothing to Zip or anything else.
"it could've been worse?" hey moron, who says it's over? now Ashcroft and the rest of his pukes will say "hey, you gave me this, you're used to it already, just give me a little more"
-one thing I can GUARANTEE you I will NOT do is get a national ID card. fuckem. won't do it. they can't make me. ("But you need it like a drivers license" "F.u. bitch, I'll drive my vehicle anyway")
-license my weapons? yeah right! I don't think so. licensing my weapons ain't gonna make the world a safer place.
