You need to research the term anti-Semitism. It has nothing to do with people being "Semitic" or otherwise.
The argument you raise has been promulgated mainly by Arabs, to dismiss ugly Arab anti-Semitism on the basis that they are Semites and therefore couldn't possibly be anti-Semitic, despite being the biggest Jew-murderers since WWII.
It's a stupid argument, which regrettably seems to be gaining traction with stupid people.
That an anonymous coward will write-off another person's opinion, simply because they may be Jewish, is rather strange. Until you realize that the anonymous coward is an anti-Semite.
Up next: Anonymous coward insists some of his best friends are Jewish. Film at eleven.
What it isn't, is a "religious search engine" as the article infers.
It's a jokey website which is little more than a custom Google search. It isn't some kind of Jewish approved alternative to Google, probably because Jews aren't really that easy to offend. Want to draw a cartoon of Moses? Go for it!
Okay, but chair, monitor, keyboard and mouse can already be adjusted for minimal outlay. The desk seems over the top. I am a big guy and I've never sat at an adjustable desk in my life. Somehow I've managed?
The important information is already displayed on screen.
I was discussing delvisional's idea with the team. We already have a news ticker and 'message of the day' type scroller planned. Someone suggested a scrolling Twitter feed, for 'motivational messages' from friends, family etc.
I suspect it will last five seconds, but it could be fun.
I guess you'll have the first operations center in the history of mankind run that way. For a big splash of cold water in the face ask your sales and marketing people what they're thinking and then tell your boss you're making all the decisions from the point of view of a cost center (you guys) as opposed to revenue generation (sales)
You're about to shit bricks, but I *am* sales and marketing.
In relation to individuality etc. it's not a big issue as the operators are hot-desking anyway.
Ewww, yuck. That usually means packing them in like sardines and creating a nice loud impossible to concentrate environment. Also people coughing all over the keyboards and mice and getting each other sick. Yuck, just yuck. Talk about making the employees feel bad by lowering their status, everyone from the janitor up "has their own place" but only your employees are lowly enough to have to hot desk. Yuck, just yuck. Trust a guy who has worked in operations centers for a couple decades, you're making a huge mistake there.
Most of them will effectively be call-centre operators and it is largely drone work. Whilst I agree with you in principle, we don't have the space to have desks being unused 2/3rds of the time. Might be a different story for higher species.
Please, at least from a lice standpoint, don't make them share cordless phone headsets.
Oh don't worry. I was thinking of making them share in-ear earpieces:-)
Seriously, I'm a hygiene freak and you took the words right out of my mouth. Also rather unhygienic.
Hey, I'm all for having a nice work environment and an area to relax. However I can safely say that anyone bringing a deep fryer or an ice cream maker from home into work, will be taking all of their belongings home at the end of the day. Know what I'm saying?
Whatever gives you the idea that we plan to build and never develop thereafter?
Hate to break it to you, but technology is continually advancing. You're getting all excited about HD or megapixel video. A few years ago, it was analytics. A few years before that, digital video recorders replaced tape. Whatever technology you deploy is obsolete almost immediately. That's why good security is about more than simply installing flashy boxes. It's a process.
In any case, there's not a single camera system in the mainstream, HD or otherwise, which can't be defeated by.....a Hat and sunglasses. It's only a single link in the chain.

Not computer related, but similar.
A friend of mine carried a pager years ago. I wrote a script to send a message to his pager every morning at 3am, saying "Low Battery".
It looks like you're writing a joke.
Would you like help?

Ever noticed how anti-Semitism and illiteracy go hand in hand?
It's as though you need to be a fucking moron, to hate Jews with any credibility.
Every single thing about "dogzdik's" post (even his username) screams DUMB.
It's a Zionist plot I tell you!
Translation: I hate and loathe the world's only Jewish state and everybody in it. But I'm not an anti-Semite. Some of my best frirends are Jewish!
You sir, are a walking cliche for Jew-haters. Can't you at least be honest about it?

Was that a capital letter after a comma?
Pedantry fail.
South Africa has the highest homicide rate in the world.
It's good to know that the police are concentrating on fast driving.
No doubt an increasingly broke and hopeless government has learned how to make more money. Err... I mean, save lives.
...Has been revoked.
What's the bet that none of those reviews begin with "Me and my girlfriend watched this together..."
Find a web filtering appliance and reverse the polarity.
Mmmm..... Knitting Erotica...

Whiteboards never fail
I've got a Sharpie that says they do.
We've built a couple of internal parking spots for precisely that reason.
Also, the boss gets the second best parking spot. The best spot is signposted "Reserved for Employee of the Month".

Also, we only ever hire attractive staff.
Where do I send my resume?
Let's start with your measurements.

Sure. How much would you like for that bit of pre-sales expertise?
