I just got turned down from a job failing a background check. It turns out I worked for a project with CompuCom 6 years ago but totally forget another headhunter brought me in. So the name of the 2 contracting companies got reversed... and I was off by 2 months since it was awhile back.
The employer assumed I lied for 2 years on 2 different occasions. It pissed me off as when I got the offer before it was rescinded I turned down 2 other employers and waiting for over a month.
To make matters worse I just turned 40 and now am denied unemployment benefits because I turned down work!... blowing off some steam here.
HR needs to realize people are not perfect and not to assume anyone over 30, who has a medical bankruptcy or delinquency (I was injured at work in a previous job and it's still on my credit report), a mom who God forbid wants to take care of her new kid until preschool, or someone who once had a DUI after a New Years Eve party are not unemployable losers.
I wish I got into the software development side of things as employers don't care about these things for the listed stuff above. But for system administration and support work you can be kicked out of your field for any of the offenses above.
This is just another way to weed people out. What companies fail to realize is employment is a two way street. If you demand everyone sit around and beg to be hired and wait for 40 days for an answer and be treated like this then do not surprised if we turn down the job offers and work for someone else. I have learned a few lessons in this and one of them is if I ever owned a company or were a manager I may hire people with... gasp... gaps on their resume if it is a good reason (jail obviously not) as I would have tremendous negotiating power over and can get someone grateful to have a job and has years of experience all thanks to how they are treated by the bigger companies who demand perfection.
Any competent CEO would accept the US deal and keep it secret as to still sell overseas. After all they don't know anything about it... wink.
If they refused the same paranoid governments such as Russia still wouldn't do business with you anyway. Might as well sign a pact with the devil if you want to keep your job by the mercy of Wall Street.
Remember when Cisco got excited and BEGGED and BRIBED to be able to work on the great firewall of China???!! Ethics take a back seat to money everytime.
MY guess is if Cisco refused China would find a smaller CHinese company or Avaya (owner of Nortel) would sign up for it and now this smaller company would be a large Cisco competitor. We can't let that happen now could we?
I don't believe Apple lies like their g3 cube was a supercomputer.
iPhones are crippled for peasants and are not real computers. I do not want a glued in DRM black box and prefer to use my own phone. I am sure this chip is quite faster or similar
Unfortunately, the homebuilt Asus sabertooth system I assembled uses Intel ME due to Raid I need for running Hyper-V and VMWare Workstation Vms.
I use Intel RST for storage which uses the IME for my fakeRaid. I am hooked on it so to speak. Also Wake on LAN and certain UEFI functions that need to work when you disable BIOS emulation( CSM ) for fast booting need that horrible Intel ME/Minix to run properly.
So even on PC's some of it's functionality is used. AMD has zonetrust. My hunch is maybe something in the EFI firmware spec requires a ring -2 (under -1 VM and 0 for ring 0 kernel in linux speak) it to run. I do know my board I can set my UEFI without a CPU!
This is a mess. For customers such as hospitals or banks having this is unacceptable and should be banned by insurance companies. Maybe an open source equivalent or a ISO or IEEE standard for UEFI should take the role of IntelME and AMD zonetrust and the ARM equivalents where the user can set this shit up and then install an operating system on top? Or maybe an OEM can have one pre-setup like a template where business customers and geeks can with a spec change if we desire to do so?
IntelME came up as an wake up on lan on steroids but grown into a a monster like SystemD at the hardware level which is a no no.
We also ruined alot of farmhand and candle makers and box creator jobs too back in the 19th century.
But as someone unemployed competing agaisn't Indians currently for jobs that adjusted for inflation pay less than what I was worth 17 years ago it is discouraging. My country the US is so far far right that any income redistribution is considered communism and is vehemently opposed as entitlement snow flakes to do just that.
What are people supposed to do to have a secure average life?
I loved Star Trek TNG as a kid. People loved to work for the purpose. No poverty. No one needed money. People worked out of pleasure. We resolved the past injustices and devoted ourselves to the good of others and to scientific progression. I wonder if this will be a reality or will the critics say we end up as Russia and Venezuela as people will only benefit others out of greed?
I wish we had a solution? Or will Chinese and Indian labor eventually become as expensive as American desperate labor just like Japanese used to be considered cheap 30 years ago and things will be more balanced to western economies?
Apparently your tax cuts and Hillary emails were more important than the freedom of your countrymen.
You didn't do research at all on his party or his views. Of course he is going to put in cronys and foxes to watch the henhouse. Every Republican since Reagan hates government and supports big business and doesn't believe in regulation as freedom == communism for some reason. Now we will end up like Portugal and have to pay addons for websites and services you use in addition to your cable bill.
You all get what you voted for. For the rest of who didn't vote for him a big FU and I hope your job and life is impacted hard by this so you can see what he/his party stands for rather than good soundbites on FoxNews.
Nothing will clue people into what NN means faster than seeing that split pricing model for Social, Video, Email, etc.
You mean the same people who happily welcomed DRM phones like IOS and appstores and paying for $3.mid ringtones before the smartphone revolution? They had more rights on their pcs and didn't care about freedom. It was shiny.
They will continue to buy them thinking it's an extra service and watch TV at home and not care as always.
Most of your examples are disingenous: they rely on the fact that at some point someone accepted a 'solution' or a product that runs only on a windows or a specific sub-product for it (like IE6). When a vendor comes to me with a 'solution' like this, I laugh him out of the room. Either it runs everywhere or it's open-source and I can work on it to make it so. I agree that being a small shop doesn't always work (but there's ccompetition), but having tens of thousands of PC can force vendors to CHANGE.
How cool you are the CIO who can accept or deny purchases. Where I am from I am told to support this or YOU"RE FIRED and replaced with an Indian who will. I don't get to chose.
It may suck to be me, but that is reality. Infact, the vendors such as Oracle take lunches and golf trips to non technical people to sign off on such shitware. After the game of golf the CIO is handed a contract with an IE 7 product and told to make it happen. He then calls my boss to implement and then he calls me to support it and make it happen.
There is a reason Salespeople are the most compensated in every department. They get shit done and they do this behind techies backs.
But you haven't mentioned the non technical semi dicks who have their fancy MBAs who LOVE to sit in meetings all day pretending to work. That is the free/busy invite skype meeting thingies in Outlook. You take that away then their pcs are useless. You can't say no to these folks.
THe vendors you talk about do not answer to geeks. They answer to the MBA holders and bosses. Our job is to make their lives easier.
Can it do all of the Excel functions? Can the I.T. department managing 3,000 PCs with some off, some on, some in different configurations on Active Directory?
It's basically irrelevant from the very moment the Windows is caught with sending your precious data to Redmond and then to all 3-letter agencies that exist. And now we (I work in some Russian defense-related institution that should not be mentioned by name) have only 2 variants: Either conserve the Windows XP environment forever or use LibreOffice.
First off the EULA is mentioning sending data to Bing via cortana or searches as well as doing telemetry. Second, the enterprise version of Windows 10 has it disabled by default. LibreOffice is a no go as it doesn't do free/busy calandar functions for the executives for meetings that they waste time in all day which is a must have for their jobs.
Russia may have a right to be wary of American companies due to the poor relations both of our countries share and the NSA overstepping it's boundaries. The US is banning Kaspersky too. But outside of it many people are dependent on functions and abilities of proprietary software and features of Office.
We need to do less with HASTE! As long as we do nothing about it the free market will work out a solution and we can avoid communism and loose our freedoms and end up like Cuba if we investigtate.
Nothing close approaches Active Directory, Group Policy, ADFS shares, PERIOD in the I.T. management roles that PHBs love. THis of course does not even go into the application compatibility problem too for non Windows operating systems in the workplace.
I can do remote software installs, get reports, if some PCs are off they will install the updates when turned on, do custom lockdowns for HIPPA and PCI (credit card info), Add legacy websites that only work in ancient IE to zones across hundreds of PCs so they just work, update certificates for shitty intranet apps, etc. Nothing comes close in Linux.
Also ACL access control lists were added secondary in Unix and were not built in by default. You can't fine control or set delegated groups like you can with Windows and Windows Shares. You can for example not give full domain access rights to the desktop support teams but can give delegated rights like local admin to troubleshoot users for example. You can give the HR manager some rights to manage confidential data, but not make her a full admin.
Linux is far inferior as a desktop OS in almost every way. Things break, codecs are not installed by default, when Xorg uipdates video drivers sometimes break, etc. I read a comment here about someone who had some firepro GPUs for a large TV in a front reception area. After so many issues he bought Windows and the system just works.
You can go back to 1997 all you want or revel in your shell script Unix admin knowledge, but in the real world IT since 2002 needed to do more with less and managers no longer respect IT since they outsourced many functions. They want 3,000 PCS fixed NOW! You can't do that with any other operating system. Examples are vendors changing their certificates or IE requirements. You need to create a group policy ASAP and deply it with Active Directory to change TLS settings and turning off compatibility mode company wide.
Also good luck with the suits in management who DEMAND their Free/Busy scheduling in Outlook for meeting invites. If your platform can't do this it is unusable as they sit in meetings all day.
Linux apps that are closed source have trouble running in newer distros while Windows runs legacy stuff. That is a fact as Windows uses shared libraries and different.dlls with smart linking. Times have changed.
Even then. There is still after 20 years no opensource solution for Outlook/Exchange. PHBs want meeting invites. They also want to see free/busy on all the recipients for their day.
I supposed in the last 4 years Office 365 has enabled some of the functionality on the web version now for Linux users, but it highlights in business there is no solutions.
MS may have made crappy OSes in the past, but their business software is certainly top of the line with Outlook and Excel. Before anyone goes on how Calc is good enough I have to say it is not for EVERY scenario. Even a city organization has financial anaylsts gurus and statisticians. These guys use add ons for Excel and proprietary software. Some who do not use advanced macros that LibreCalc can't do.
R and Python is now just started to hit some of these but these guys are not professional programmers. They knew macros and mathematics. Linux has no solution for these 2 scenarios.
But are they? When support for XP finished I switched over the living room to CentOS with gnome 2. Mrs Hog, not the most tech savvy person on the planet, didn't notice the difference.
That's cute. You are browsing the web just like I am on Ubuntu right now.
I decided drunk last night to give Linux a shot again on my PC as a native OS and not a VM. I plan to do fedora Mate 27 next.
Now, for the non-nerds can your Linux install (outside of your living room TV in the workplace) do Free/Busy on Exchange/Outlook for the PHBs? Can they schedule Skype meetings in Evolution or Thunderbird? Can they run SAP? How about the senior directors run WebEX for those in the federal German Government? Can Linux run ancient IE 6 and 7 sites written last decade before web standards took off? Can the smartcam just work for the above scenarios?
Can LibreCalc run the megaStat add-on for Excel? Can it do all of the Excel functions? Can the I.T. department managing 3,000 PCs with some off, some on, some in different configurations on Active Directory? Can the I.T. department create a Group Policy to lock down some clients with sensitive information? Can NFS support ACL (access control lists) with nested groups easily for permissions? Can the I.T. department automate a MASS installation whether computers are on or off?
Yes, what I wrote sounds like dauntte's inferno for nerds reading this who get to be sys admins and programmers at.coms. But, in my world doing corporate I.T. my job depends on these things and it is the real world. Management NEEDS THESE DONE. They do not care if I have 2,000 PCs when they get a certificate error in a browser due to a critical website being upgraded. It needs to be fixed NOW!
Linux doesn't cut it and I would be fired if I installed it. If all you do is browse the web and use NetFlix then a tablet or Roku is the best fit. An enterprise environment is a different beast and is underestimated how complex it is.
The professionalism here on slashdot is outstanding! On this date 11/16/2017 I shall always remember where and when I first heard this vital life changing news of a train departing 20 seconds early in my memories.
not because I'm a bully, but because they're dumb as a fucking rock and the only way they finally get the point to stop asking the same GD questions is if I growl at them.
I don't mind the first question. Second time I'll tell you to write this down. Third time I'll tell you to refer to your notes and anytime after that, I'll probably yell at you for being stupid.
So I'll quit being mean to them when you quit hiring idiots.
I did that once after being verbally abused for an hour.
HR kept the abuser and let me go for yelling to teach the other employees a lesson on proper behavior. I am still suffering to this day from the damage of the reputation done.
The problem too is many poorly run HR departments consider YOU the problem as well. There would be no paperwork if you and Jack couldn't get along right?
It reminds me of school as children. If you stand up for yourself the principle nails your ass too for defending yourselves. After all you started it right?
Also it sends a scary message to the rest of the employees not to cause trouble or end up like this guy over there etc. Yes, this happened to me at a previous job when I had to defend myself and confront a bully. I was let go as well.

No kidding.

And companies don't need a court order to ignore them.
You know the federal government has tens of millions of seat licenses of sales to keep your share prices high.
It would be a shame if something happened to that deal?
Erlang man is what all the cool kids use now PYSCHO BITCH
Woosh
Let's ignore software distribution, access rights to your own computer (if this is a school or work PC), phones, tablets, other platforms, etc.
If C++ was all in why don't we see these win32 apps on Linux or MacOSX if it was so easy and portable?
Unfortunately, the homebuilt Asus sabertooth system I assembled uses Intel ME due to Raid I need for running Hyper-V and VMWare Workstation Vms.

Gamers Nexus and linusctech tips on YouTube showed otherwise. The fastest Vega64 can't even beat the 1070 on some titles?! Destiny 2 was one example

Who cares as AMD is for peasants. Real gamers only buy Nvidia as games are optimized only for that GPU. Vega is terrible compared to the 1080TI
Does it account for the spike in sudden infant death syndrome in the areas of Japan after 2011?
Can it do all of the Excel functions? Can the I.T. department managing 3,000 PCs with some off, some on, some in different configurations on Active Directory?

I bet you wouldn't have typed this if you bought in cheap at $6000 :-)
I raved about how great the London Underground is to my wife's cousin when I was there, and she laughed at me.
"Go to Berlin" she said, "that's a really great train service, cheap fast and clean".
Japan's must be really awesome if it's better than that.
Ah just like in America where people praise the New York subway system for it's cleanliness and lack of tardiness my dear sir.
