  1. Re:What an incredible gaffe on Firefox 2.0 Password Manager Bug Exposes Passwords · · Score: 1
    Absolutely, because the folks at bugzilla so want to show that IE6/7 are better browsers then MSIE.

    Did you even look at the source?

    I do not for a second believe that £200 is conservative. That about $495 AUD. Given that Independent schools (and probably state schools) pay around $180 AUD or about £72 for Office and a new licence for Vista Business edition. Coming to about £3,600,000.
    Which is still a Shiite load.
    But the Money the Gates Foundation is channeling into health is going to countries that do not have a well established Health Service, almost like - you going to hate this....., like Robin Hood.

    If I was a mechanic - working in a large car repairer shop, is it my responsibility or my bosses to make sure that I am kept up with the latest brake technology? Don't the manufactures provide free courses on how to best repair their vehicles (particularly for dealer repair shops).
    It is interesting that when your customer is external to the company, there always seems to be a financial incentive for the company to keep it's workers skills up to date. Where you only provide to internal customers, that incentive seems to be lost. In house IT is almost invariably the ones who let their (workers) skills fall behind.

  11. Re:Then why can't I find a friggin job?!!?! on IT Worker Shortages Everywhere · · Score: 1
    Me, I'm somewhere outside of both of those. I have a degree, 19+ years experience, and no one to hire me. My mistake was joining the big new project, new language and infrastructure, only to be cut so the project could be outsourced. Now with 18 months experience in a (now dead) language - and 18 months away from "recent" experience in popular language (which had just evolved (yes VB).

    How easy it is to land on scrap heap.

    So I started my own, yet to be successful, IT company. The biggest downside is years of development before the product is ready to be put into market place. So no income. So now I do TS.

    What you have said (quoted) makes sense. Perhaps we should be thinking along the lines of: Given the cyclic nature of solar radiation, it is apparent that the effect of mankind (CO2 production) can be greatly magnified during these solar hot cycles.
    Therefor we must avoid a situation where continued emissions lock in the solar heat for a period much longer than would naturally occur.

    Have you ever considered moving away from the mainstream corporate radio stations. There is a lot of local/independent radio stations that play ... well ... music. I just tuned in to a local Rythm and Jazz station, playing the Red Hot Peppers (no not the California obsessed band), Ella Fiztgerald with Count Basie and many others. Point is that is just an example to show that not all that is on the radio is Back Street Boys and Justin Timberlake. (btw check out the new Australian movie "Boytown".)

    It might be that the 95% is used to condition your brain to mathematical thinking. In as much as you do not realize you are using it, but it is being used.
