  8. Re:DON'T POST GMAIL INVITES YOU MORON!!! on IT (And Other) Salaries On The Rise In The U.S. · · Score: 1

    I assume you were intending the irony when you posted the email addresses to /. - are you just pi$$ed because you weren't quick enough...?
    I'm not sure what kind of "business" you meant as I gave the invites away because I didn't need them....
    As you are an AC I guess I can't hand out one of the seven or so invites that I got today....

  9. Re:Alignment with European salaries? on IT (And Other) Salaries On The Rise In The U.S. · · Score: 1

    OK, I live in Oxfordshire and outside of London that's probably one of the more expensive places to live, but compared to the US it's ridiculous. Just generally speaking, when we arrived gas prices were up to 4 times more expensive; clothing and food (apart from Pot Noodles) were similarly comparible. The tax here is crippling.
    The cost of living in the UK is the main reason for me returning to the US next year.

  10. Alignment with European salaries? on IT (And Other) Salaries On The Rise In The U.S. · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I moved back to England in 2000, I negotiated with my company for a US-level salary, and when I arrived, found that most of my colleagues were paid quite a lot less than me. Is it still the case that European salaries are significantly lower than US salaries, regardless of the economic condition over the last few years?

    BTW, some invites for anybody who cares....

    You can't. I just said that's pretty much the only way they are caught.

  20. Re:Critical Services Should Use Hardened Systems on Sasser Worm Takes Down UK's Coastguard · · Score: 1

    How do you actually catch the original author of a worm? Most authors of this sort of crap are glory seekers and stupidly leave some reference in the code, or just brag about it on IRC.

    Ehrm, I was born in 63. Apart from making me a dodgy old bastard, as I am not dead yet (don;t think so last time I checked) that must make me zero years old. Course the alternatlve view point is my parents started their project, and nine months later there I was.
