I pay for cable to watch on my TV, which is where I watch television anyhow. On the other hand, with this service I'd be paying to listen to music on my computer which is not where I listen to it. I listen to music on my stereo system, or in my car, or on my portable when I go for a walk. I'm not about to pay money for a service that makes me listen to music in a way that is inconvenient to my life.
Good Luck to all the folks who were laid off and are going to receive "career transistion services and support."
I was one of Wotc's laid off employees and they never provided any career transition services and support even though I received a letter from the company stating I would. Unfortunately, it was a big lie.
I've seen co-workers reach thresholds where there can no longer take on new work for sake of maintaining existing code.
Do these programmers actually NOT take on additional work? In my experience, the current job is always put on the backburner when the job with the most revenue associated with it, needs to be maintained.
...but has there been any organizational research done in the area of managing this problem? While I code for a living, my degree is in business, and this was a question dodged in all of my Management of Information Systems and Project Management courses.
Probably because there is no real answer. It all depends on complexity of the end product and how much money said product generates directly or indirectly.
This is fine but please lock yourself in a room for life and interact wwith no one. This is the only way to gaurantee that you will never harm anyone by anything you do.
We were told pretty much this as well. Although I was in at 6:30AM and left at 4PM, I was also told that enough hours were not being dedicated. So I cut back on lunch and stuff. When teh lay offs came. I was in that group. A guy who had to ask what a varible was ( yeah he was a programmer too) worked 8Am to 8PM almost consistently (due to his not understanding, oh say WinRunner) and he's still got a job.
I am realizing it's not what you know, it's how many hours you work and how much you make. Perhaps I should have worked 12 hour days and been palced on suspension twice and kept my salary at what it was when I was hired.
but in the end I blame the government and it's shitty PPS regs.
Slashdot Mirror
Is this on Windows or Linux?
I open up more than 7 tabs in Windows and I get out of resources.
I was just getting into streaming radio when it was hut down. I heard plenty of songs on KPIG that I then bought on CD. Oh well.
Doesn't that cost money?
You say here: The card doesn't have information about you.
Okay fine but then here you say:
The government knows that you have voted (it is required) once. (see above: ID-reg)
If the government knows you voted I'd bet they also know who you voted for.
Why should I join? Seriously? What have they done lately?
Didn't ebay buy Paypal?
the state-owned telecom If I staretd a free ISP and the gov't subsidized me, yeah I'd be making a profit as well.
not yet....but if they make money I am sure that a small transistor radio type device will be next.
I'd get XM but I somewhat doubt that they'd play what I want as well. And if they did, I'm sure it's just like my DISH music channels....censored.
That would be something I'd shell out money for.
Then XM or Sirius should appeal to you.
Welcome to the reality of being laid off...

I'd say it's nigh impossible....
good luck getting a house.
Fanning?
I hear he's working at Manpower filing documents for some law firm.
he's been writing taht way for years. Way before l33t speak came to be.
what ruined it for me? The fake story of rose and what's his name. It would have been a great movie if an actual passenger's story was told.
That one of the secret commands isn't:
sucky sucky
or prepare for the inevitable "I've changed honey and I need a divorce" taht will be coming.

the source! they wanna ban the source......I'm surprised the editors ehre didn't put that FUD in the posting.
Well, I guess you're fucked. Since the developer has no real skills and needs to use terms like "know it all"
