    I have a guy who can write the hell out of C# and C++ but the only way you get anything out of him is to give me the most detailed SOW you can possibly provide. You try to get him to talk to any stakeholder, process owner or direct management and he's as useless as tits on a bull.

    How would you know if he's lying? I've been asked the same kinds of questions by idiot managers, and the answer is always "No I do not have x years of experience with Y product that just launched"

    Maybe you just don't get that there are seriously ignorant people out there in positions that somehow determine your eligibility for employment. Especially your average HR manager.

    I interviewed for a gig working for an MMO developer, the HR guy spent 45 minutes talking about how "This workplace culture eludes him" and how he has never played computer games or worked for any company in the IT industry. He came to the company from a warehouse management job. Yet the only 2 technical questions he asked me, which I explained easily, he couldn't comprehend.

    My 1 year old Sony digital theater system with Audio/Video recording doesn't care one whit what type of disk you use as long as it has enough storage for the media you are copying/writing. So there has to be devices out there that aren't classified under this title, yet do exactly what this title seems to cover.

    I used to pay electronically, till my apt complex charged me 3 times for 1 month. Now I pay with a prepaid debit that I post money to and use for online transactions. That cut all of the multiple charges per month shit out. Tmobile was doing it to me as well.

    All banks will cash a check that is drawn on one of their accounts. You go in, tell them to cash it, show some ID and you're done. So chances are, if someone locally writes you a check, it's probably drawn on a bank that is near them.

    Yes, but it does continue to set precedence which is what we direly need lots of. Once enough precedence is set, the courts will have more of a foundation to stand on when throwing these bum's cases out the window.

    in a perfect system yes, the only times you truly see this happen is on votes that the people actually make. Amendments and what not. For most of this stuff, it's the elected officials that make the decisions and by the time the decision is made, voting them out does not necessarily fix the problem.

    don't blame the artist, they are getting shafted by the same ass-clowns that are issuing out these notices. The RIAA steals so much money from them it's unbelievable. I just wish that the suit against the Canadian RIAA hadn't been settled and had gone the course. Then, at least, the artists would have had some semblance of hope in seeing some money back from the thieves ill-gotten gains.

    If i'm white and I fire a gay black man for not performing his duties, how the hell am I at fault?

    Hi, middle of the here. I'm not a Teabagger, well, may have done so once or twice, but purely for comedic reasons.... I don't know what kind of crack you're smoking, but you should actually read what the hell was said in the first place. Keeping your shit inline as an employer SHOULD cover your ass.

    The facts are issues of documentation that an employer should keep track of: failure to complete assigned tasks, no call no shows, inappropriate workplace behavior etc. THIS GOES FOR ANY RACE, CREED, RELIGION or SEXUAL PREFERENCE dipshit.
