>>>where you're on the clock, have to leave for lunch at exactly 12, have to be back from lunch at exactly 1 or else you get in trouble, etc.
I've worked off-and-on for the defense industry since 96, and it is NOTHING like that. You can start at 6 am or 10am. You can eat lunch whenever you feel like it. Some place let you wear jeans all week.... and other places work a 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off. Some don't care if you work 10 hours a day and take every Friday. And, per government regulation, you're required to get paid if you exceed 45 hours. No worries about the company forcing you to work 55 hours but only get paid 40.
Way to spread a bunch of FUD about the defense industry which you CLEARLY know nothing about.
>>>this particular one has work that's due before they can get through the process
This job has been open for 6 months. It has zero progress. If you had hired a Non-cleared person with all the skills, he'd already be halfway through the process. And he wouldn't just be sitting around..... an Interim Clearance would be granted which allows the person do other work while he's waiting for the Top Secret to come through. So your project would have some progress, instead of zero.
Maybe you should apply the Google model where 25% of the worker's day can be used for experimenting. Except in your case, you would be training him to do the other roles.
Engineers don't just magically come out of college with "strong network security + network operations + minor software development" in their heads. Most of them learn it on the job. So hire someone with 1 of the 3, and then let him or her learn the other two as they go. (That's what engineering college is all about..... how to learn new skills on demand.)
And of course clearances are hard to get since 9/11. I used to have a secret-level one but it expired. That means I could not apply for your job even though I held a clearance in the past, and my background is spotless. If you need a clearance, apply for one for your new employee as he's learning about networking.
But of course you won't listen, being an HR person. Everyone I knew who eventually became HR persons were partiers in college. They don't know crap.
I don't buy that. I think it comes down to $$$. Same reason Jobs put Apple factories overseas to save ~$25 per iPod.
If the hidden-camera videos on youtube are accurate, the companies DON'T want to find U.S. workers, but instead collect resumes (per requirements of U.S. law) simply to throw them in the trash afterwards. Their real mission is to claim "we can't find any locals" to the Congress, so they can apply for temporary visas to import cheaper workers from overseas.
So I'm not allowed to post a video about the Chinese Communists and how much they suck, if we follow your interpretation. (Because it disparages a group.) This is how we lose our freedoms..... by not being able to share our opinion that we think same-sex marriage should not be allowed. While other videos in support of same-sex marriage is allowed to stand. This is how we have our mouths muzzles like dogs, instead of being freemen.
I sent the girl a twitter message, telling her to just keep re-uploading the video. If Google is truly a "do no evil" company then they will stop censoring Chrsitians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, et cetera.
>>> I fully support her right to do that, but I will not force youtube to carry material they do not want to.
Me neither. But since they took hers down, but none of the others, that implies they WANT to carry the videos calling this teen a "whore" and "asshole" and "I'm gonna come kill you". What kind of corporation is Google running through youtube???
It appears "do no evil" became "do evil" through letting people post death threats on their site.
>>>You just say that nonsense about the scanners because they offend your delicate psuedo-libertarian sensibilities.
No I say that "nonsense" because Xray machines do malfunction from time-to-time, and have been known to irradiate patients with deadly levels. That is why regulations have been passed to inspect Xray machines every few months, to insure they are still working properly & outputting safe levels rather than deadly levels. (Meanwhile the TSA machines are never inspected. They could be emitting cancer-causing levels and no one would know.)
Oh and thanks for the -1 downmod anon. coward. I assume you used your actual logged-in ID to do that.
If a law says, "Promotion of fire fighters shall be determined based on the outcome of written examinations," and the judge named Sotomayor then turns-round and cancels the promotion of those men who legally-passed the exam, the judge is NOT enforcing the law. Or interpreting the law as written. They are arbitrarily acting with no reason or rationality, except their own desires to make law from the bench.
Scalia may very well be an asshole, but at least he reads and judges based upon what law the Congress passed. Sotomayor does not. She admitted it during her testimony.
Constitutionalist. Almost everyone is familiar with Thomas Jefferson's "Separation of church and state," which is used by the Supreme Court to forbid praying in schools, but few know this quote: "On every question of construction let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
Jefferson was our second most intelligent president (estimated IQ of 160). We should listen to him.
I also like this one. People are aware of the checks-and-balances between the 3 branches, but forget that that People's State legislatures are ALSO a check against central government: "...when all government... in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the centre of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."
According to USA Today, NY Times, and other papers that performed independent ballot counts (using multiple methods), it would not have mattered if the SCOTUS had allowed Florida to continue counting. Bush beat Gore by ~1000 votes, mainly because of the western republican counties. Therefore Bush would have had FL's electoral votes and won.
>>>Scalia is an asshole
That may be but he has consistently applied the laws as written. (Unlike that other justice: Sotomayor who ignores that law & makes random decisions based on her beliefs.) If you don't like the laws don't blame the judges who merely enforce them. Blame the Congress for producing bad law.
9 999 999 999 999 999 I have no idea what number that is. What comes after trillions? Anyway that's 10,000 trillion people that can be identified with this system..... more than the total number of humans that have ever lived on earth. More than the 40 billion that lived on Asimov's metal world/capital planet called Trantor. (Or when Lucas ripped it off: Coruscant.)
Samt thing happened on 9/11 where the government claimed the air was safe to breathe, but then people started getting sick, so the government had to admit it lied. What use is having regulation if the politicians or bureaucrats simply ignore them (or lie)? Regulations don't work because the regulators aren't doing the job
I've never found actual porn, but I've seen a lot of nudity slip past youtube (exposed breasts mostly). They rely on the users to flag these videos, else they usually don't, so the videos continue to sit there.
I'd like to find out how much radiation they are putting-out, before stepping through, to make sure they are not malfunctioning & emitting killer levels.
In the meantime I'll just avoid them and go through the breast/penis/pussy grope. 1 minute of embarassment is preferable to developing a slow death through cancer.
>>>Or we could just euthanize anyone with a $ in their name and anyone stupid enough to interview them.
You must be one of those who posted "I gonna kill you!" death threats against the 16 year old girl, just because she's a christian. Typical liberal or democrat..... they are filled with more hate than the Republidicks.
It isn't hate speech. It's the girl sharing her OPINION on same-sex marriage, and backing-it-up with a citation from a 4000 year old book (Leviticus if I recall correctly). - Or - have we taken-away that right to share our opinions? Is that now verboten, simply because we don't like the opinion? And how does that justify youtube leaving up the death threat videos targeted at this young woman? Those should be pulled too.
>>>There was a recent Supreme court case that made this legal.
Which one? I find it hard to believe. During the Paypal case, the U.S. judge crossed-out most of the EULA saying customers can not sign-away legally protected rights..... such as the right to sue a company for stealing money (that's what Paypal was guilty of).
>>>I want to see the MPAA and RIAA clamp down on everything we do online..... until the average person realizes what utter bullshit it is and demands that lawmakers end this bullshit >>> That's how I feel about President Obama. I hope he wins reelection.
You can't flag copyright material. I've tried..... and youtube responds by saying Only certified copyright holders (record and movie companies I guess) can flag videos for copyright infringement.
>>> they can train their employees to delete what they find unacceptable.
Like how they removed a 16-year-old teen's video as "hate speech" because she read her Bible's passages about same-sex marriage being forbidden. (Meanwhile they left-up all the other reply videos that called her a "whore" or "asshole" or even included death threats.) Yep. Youtube certainly can screen content in order to defend their right to use videos to attack a teen girl.
>>>Copyright infringement is always supposed to be decided by the courts
That's how it works NOW. If you uploaded an interview with Ke$ha, and she files a DMCA takedown notice, and you respond with "Put it back up; I did not infringe anything", your video will be restored..... Kesha can now choose to sue you in court. Whereupon you get to decide to defend yourself with a fair use argument. (Alterntiavely Kesha could just drop the claim, and your video stays up.)
Slashdot Mirror
>>>because RIAA/MPAA fought so hard for this law, YouTube needs to cover its arse by actually following the letter of the law.
There is nothing in the law that says only RIAA/MPAA can file DMCA notices (or flag videos). Anybody can file a DMCA notice.
>>>>your video will be restored
>>
>>After a two-week statutory waiting period.
Did you just make that up? I've seen videos pulled-down by DMCA notices, and then restored in mere hours.
>>>where you're on the clock, have to leave for lunch at exactly 12, have to be back from lunch at exactly 1 or else you get in trouble, etc.
