To me a professional is one who has opinions but works with them at work and understands why people use each one. 10 years ago slashdot was filled with angry college kids who used Windows 98 which bluescreened like a mofo if you install/uninstall apps frequently who have no real world experience rail about Windows and quote their CS professors on how great Unix is. Today these schools have macs, Windows is better, and these same schools teach CS for Windows and Unix or just Windows. Not this PC is for toys and real work is the mainframe or Solaris OS etc that was taught.
There were many who are so radically anti corporate that they would flame redhat users for using non free drivers. Things are much more grown up here
Not true. Go look at your internet options and you will see different zones for intranet and internet? For one, IE only runs signed activeX controls on the internet, and by default will put a nag are you you want to run X, unless its disabled by default.
IE 9 blocks access to bad domains and scripts that reference them as well. Go google the study finding IE the most secure browser from 2 or 3 months ago. These blacklists are updated regularly. As an add on you can download additional lists too from the addon website to block ads as well kind of like ad-blocker. I believe VBscript is disabled by default too in IE 9 on the internet.
Most users have an admin account because software still requires it. Most do not know how to disable UAC, but with ASLR, full DEP, and other security improvements even running as admin is a BIG improvement over XP anyday.
Stock price has everything to do with where it is going, not how stable or how profitable it is.
The goal of any corporation is to raise its stock price. Not make money.... the exception is a private corporation.
Since companies do not pay dividends the people who own the stocks do not make a single cent on the stock they purchase. So if it stays stagnant they make no money. Now if the stock price keeps going up and it keeps growing they can now make money to sell it to the next guy and so on and so on.
If you make profitablity but do not have the right accounting magic ratios that are used to value its share price then there is something wrong with the company as the CEO is ignoring his fidiciary duty to the shareholders.
10 years ago you would be modded down faster than goatse.
5 years maybe too. Most of the anti capitalist pro gnu and linux zealots have faded since the early years as this place turns more I.T. professional oriented
Windows 7 is great. I just hit the Windows key and type the file or program I want. It is nice if you forget the name of the file but remember something like sales figures for 2009 and it will display them for you. I go nuts on XP and feel crippled without it. I never go into the program menu at all.
I did not like the libraries feature at first and grown to like. On my desktop I have an admin account called God and the other one is my limited user account. I can just use public documents to share files back and forth. On my laptop with Windows 7 I can view them with homegroup too.
The libraries thing is for sharing very easily and it is nice. Windows 7 is a decent OS actually and a real upgrade from XP for those who get frustrated it is not identical to XP and feel XP is fine even though it is approaching 11 years old.
A hint... if you are in the hospital with high blood pressure and a possible heart attack then QUIT. So what if they find cost savings. Is it worth your health and to your family if you fall over dead?
Become a consultant and work on better terms that are yours and chill. It doesn't matter how much money you make if you are alone in a big house with no wife or if you fall over dead and never spend a cent of your hard earned cash. I am just saying.
It is the same as selling your BMW for a beater to raise cash to pay off credit cards and working a 2nd job and selling your large home for a more modest one etc.
After you survive the sting you can then save again and be rich. However spending on a credit only makes you appear richer and this is what Europe and the US is doing right now.
The problem is the US will go bankrupt by 2020. It is not sustainable and China and the creditors will take over the country like they did in Greece and force the US to sell its assets. If not then sanctions would cripple this nation even more. It will get that bad and I am not paranoid. It is simple mathmatics.
The short term benefits are 2 fold 1. The extra cash will not just sit there. It will go to the banks which in return will look for other ways to spend and invest it. With the US no longer selling treasury bonds maybe just maybe they will make loans for business lines of credit to hire people. 2. When you take a loan out or when an employer signs your paycheck you both compete with the federal government. Who will win? The US of course as treasury bonds are a safer bet. Employers NEVER use profit to pay its employees. Its just lines of credit if you take any finance 101 course in college.
Of course a recession will be the immediate result but the government will no longer have to print money to counter deflation like it is now. We are in a depression hidden by the printing of money. This is not sustainable at all.
Clinton did this and it created the 1990s boom. During the S&L scandal businesses could not get loans to keep people employed and expand as they couldn't compete with the government. With the cash infusion and no longer safe treasuries as plentiful more was loaned out again. See how that works?
It is akin to buying a house. You can owe 3 to 4 years of salary to pay it back. The problem is you keep borrowing more and more and never ever make a payment. That is where the US is right now and Greece. Why did Greece collapse? Easy it couldn't pay the bare minimum interest let alone its principal.
Go Google Wienmar Germany? They printed off their own money just like the US is and hyperinflation hit and people would actually skip work because the price of milk would rise by the end of the afternoon and people burned money because it was cheaper than firewood and a worthless currency it was. Hitler came into power as a result.
The only reason we do not have hyperinflation right now is that we are in a depression with a strong pull towards deflation which will cure our economic problems. So Bernanke prints more money to artificially inflate it. Meanwhile only the rich are getting the money and we are seeing food and gas prices double yet are wages are going down. Let everything go down in price to reflect our lower status and pay back our debt. Then it will come back the natural way.
The bankers created this mess. When a recession or depression hits the employers take advantage by cutting off their workface and lowering wages. Why pay $60,000 a year when someone is willing to do it for $35,00 a year?
That is not management. That is economics and if every company does it including your competitors you need to do it too to lower your prices. In a recession prices go down and we enter deflation. It is happening in Europe right now and it did in 2009 and 2010 in the US. I have a right to be mad as I had no control over that yet I am the one fucked over.
But debt is the cause. Trading debt inflates the value of your assets. Why is debt an asset anyway? The average debt is 4 banks/investment firms long which means the asset is inflated 4x as actual income in the accounting spreadsheets!
Yes the banks are broke. They owe trillions and like 4x our GDP according to one lady who used to work for BOA. Every night they move the money into one account for a few milliseconds and they have $52 trillion in debt they count as assets. A little PS... the whole US GDP is only $13 trillion.
It is a nightmare and yes they need more capital. I have the indentured servant mentality because I am one as I owe student loans like millions of people and need to work for free for the next 4 to 5 years before I can start my life. 1/13 of the US GDP is stuck in just student loans! See the problem why no one is buying?
Used cars where I am at are exploding in value and even shitty cars with no A/C, 139k miles, no shocks are doubling in value as people can't afford new cars. That is a bad sign. Used computers too are going for alot as well.
So yes it is scary and a reset might be needed. Unfortunately the reset would be a great depression to wipe out all the debt and crazy derivatives.
Hey I have bills to pay and a responsibility with my friends shunning me as a loser because I have been out of work for so long.
I am just saying it like it is and it does piss me off. I worked 2 jobs before trying to support my exwife and I was the most miserable I ever was in my life. But that is part of being a grown up.
Some money is better than no money right? If I do not bend over somone else will. I turned down many jobs today where they wanted me to work at a call center for $11 an hour and harass people into buying insurance or a logistical contract. But I looked around and people were JUMPING for these jobs. People mostly older and married which means they had kids who were hungry:-(
When you have 3 to 4 applicants per job yes you do have to bend over. In 1999 there were 2 jobs per applicant and you could play each other to find out who would pay you more and had the best benefits etc. Now the employers have the ball and want to take a ride. As the economy improves in the next 4 years the ball will come back to an ballance with the assumption that Europe does not collapse and US debt does not go out of control. The banks are the ones causing this as everything is frozen without cheap lines of credit for businesses to pay its employees.
I heard this spiel a million times today at a job fair. No I will not do a $45,000 a year job for $25,000 as that wont even cover my rent and car payments let alone food and student loans. If you go too low you get bad quality workers who are desperate or people will realize they can get more on unemployment.
Theoretical example. Lets say you work for a whole 2 years with 0 vacation days then announce a much needed 2 week vacation.
The bean counters notice that your department ran fine without you and they saved $5000!
Now why should your employer keep you? If the place did not fall apart then it is overstaffed and your boss can get a promotion for increasing productivity and lowering costs. Since 2008 efficiency experts came in and people are used to them now. Restructure. Now you have to show why you need to keep your job rather than on what you do.
How can you take vacation in an environment like this?
Neutron, you just described every single employer I ever had. If you do not do it they will find someone else who will. That is how business is run and firing bad apples is very cost effective. Yes it costs money to retrain a replacement, but statistics also show that productivity for a group actually goes up if you fire a bad team member. That is a negative ROI as everyone else is not correcting someone elses mistakes. Bosses do seem to remember that more than the other ones. Maybe its an American thing?
The problem is when you make guaranteed working conditions this forces employers to lay off even more US workers and invest in these 3rd world countries where they do not have to deal with that BS. Make them not do that? THen they will be Swiss companies WAHOO TAX WRITE OFF too!
If you turn on the radio or read news forums all the business owners keep saying government is oppresive getting on their banks more and more and how radically socialist Obama is and so on. They saw the light in China and LIKE IT and are shocked that they can't do the same things here.
There is no other solution other than worker harder and lower are salaries to be more competitive. Eventually an equilibillium will be reached. Remember high gas prices too and logistical nightmares add costs that accountants oversee that make local production cheaper. We do not have to work as cheap but the cat is out of the bag.
I am just saying it like it is. When there is growth and less risk with greater access to capital wages will return higher again and employees can demand better working conditions too.
Look at China? People at Foxconn today threatened mass suicide if they did not provide better working conditions at a plant that makes Microsoft's Xbox controllers.
They work 16 hours a day and children are included in the work force. Many are beatened and locked in and can never leave. This is normal life in China and they would love to work just 10 hours a day like in the US. Sure the US is not like France, but is HELL of a lot better than Pakistan, China, or Vietnam. Hell these people walk 3 hours a day to work for just $.80 an hour! They feel they are the lucky ones too.
Also look at France right now? If you are under 30 it is very hard to find work. No one wants to hire them. Can't fire them, have to pay them not to work aka vacation, and many multinational corporations just move to Switzerland where the folks are not lazy and work hard. My brother works for FedEX and they just built a totally unmanned (close to it) in Denmark with robots. They tried to hire local people but they all wanted vacations and protections from being fired etc.
Americans are more attractive to employers for these reasons even if they are very expensive. With a global economy you will find someone always willing to work harder for less. France is reforming now with a large angry populace but this maybe the new thing for the next 50 years or so until India and China get used to vacations and higher standards of living. Until the meantime back to the old way of working 1800s style 12 hours a day 6 days a week.
Yeah they offer it then write you up when you use it or give you 4 hours of work to do a day and virtual meetings to attend to while you are on vacation. Lol
One former employer did just that. They would threaten to terminate you if you took off again regardless that it was advertised. Worse they are paid vacations too after a year. This means you work 5 days for free or else you are fired unless it was a very good reason. That was a shitty employer. Their argument was due to the economy you may not go on vacation and can be replaced easily.
This has everything to do with the governments living beyond their means. Where did that money come from? From us and the banks. With high debt they stopped lending which caused businesses to stop or retract spending and investment. This in return laid off workers who then cut back and could not pay back their loans. Because they could not pay back their loans the banks responding by cutting again until a complete meltdown in 2008.
As a result 20 million Americans who had these 40,000 a year jobs 10 years ago are working at Walmart going further and further down the hole each month in debt and would be happy to do your job for 30%, be abused with a smile, never take off, etc. They wont he lotto and do not care they are underpaid.
Now you Mr. AC are at the mercy of the boss or you will be the one at Walmart next unless you are very highly skilled far beyond the general public. If the banks collapse in Europe people's retirements, 401ks, life savings, and employers line of credit to pay their wages all vanish out of thin air. Try 20 million more layoffs in 6 months! Very scary indeed
You can hate Ron Paul all you want and think he is a far right wing radical (he is), but he is right!
Seriously, the government, consumers, and banks have lived beyond their means. The only growth is consumption caused by yet more debt. Student loans are too high due to the government handing them out like candy enslaving the students in debt when they are done, which in return causes higher demand for employers to request degreed candidates and so on.
The best solution is to go into a depression, raise taxes high, cut spending, sell off Alaska and most of the US assets, cut military pay, for a decade or so. No one but Paul would have the balls for such a radical solution but it is no different htan anyone one of use with a family with LOTS of debt, loss of income, and risk of beig foreclosed or repoed. If you do not lower your lifestyle, sell your shit, and work 2 jobs for several years the bank will do all that for you on their terms rather than yours.
Ron Paul is honest and gives answers no one wants to hear.
Everyone was excited about how the economy is screaming and moving forward with 3x more postings than last year!... the jobs were all insurance selling door to door, hotel maids, cocktail waitressing, etc. This was a professional job fair too and only one of the 40 employers had anything over 30k a year!
In that environment would you want to risk your job? Hell no! If I were making 50k a year I would feel fucking rich and be greatful to work 12 hours a day. In that environment where these poor saps would do anything to take your job to feed your kids you have to suck it up. This isn't 1999 anymore.
I remember 12 years ago when I was young, that many people called in sick once a month or took a vacation Friday etc. These folks got laid off in 2001 as soon as the shit hit hte fan. Until the economy improves and there are more jobs than applicants this will continue. In addition with Europe at risk of going into a full great depression if the banking system collapses I would say there is considerable risk right now. Even if the US economy is adding more low wage jobs now than before this will sharply reverse if citigroup, chase, and BOA all go out of business once every bank in Europe also collapses too. It is very serious until governments learn to live within their means.
Where are the file shield and behavior settings in MSE? They are not there. The file is compared after it is written and yes, after it is executed. Sure it had some nice success rates that were near the top last spring. It is down a little bit, but MSE does a great job removing them.
Just from what I hear and what I see. Heuristics and behavior based settings prevent something from being executed and that is why Kaspersky and Avast are great products. Kaspersky is even more heavy duty but slows down systems too much in my opinion.

So Unix has ASLR, DEP, compiler exception handling bounds checking?
VMS is the only other OS that has DEP support fully. XP has partial support by SP 2.
Checklist wise Windows is the most secure kernel

He is incorrect. We arent borrowing from ourselves. We are borrowing agaisnt the bank and some peoples 401ks. We owe to the very few
Sounds like you make decent money.
A hint ... if you are in the hospital with high blood pressure and a possible heart attack then QUIT. So what if they find cost savings. Is it worth your health and to your family if you fall over dead?
Become a consultant and work on better terms that are yours and chill. It doesn't matter how much money you make if you are alone in a big house with no wife or if you fall over dead and never spend a cent of your hard earned cash. I am just saying.

It is not just willing to promote.
Theoretical example. Lets say you work for a whole 2 years with 0 vacation days then announce a much needed 2 week vacation.
The bean counters notice that your department ran fine without you and they saved $5000!
Now why should your employer keep you? If the place did not fall apart then it is overstaffed and your boss can get a promotion for increasing productivity and lowering costs. Since 2008 efficiency experts came in and people are used to them now. Restructure. Now you have to show why you need to keep your job rather than on what you do.
How can you take vacation in an environment like this?
Neutron, you just described every single employer I ever had. If you do not do it they will find someone else who will. That is how business is run and firing bad apples is very cost effective. Yes it costs money to retrain a replacement, but statistics also show that productivity for a group actually goes up if you fire a bad team member. That is a negative ROI as everyone else is not correcting someone elses mistakes. Bosses do seem to remember that more than the other ones. Maybe its an American thing?

The best solution is to go into a depression, raise taxes high, cut spending, sell off Alaska and most of the US assets, cut military pay, for a decade or so. No one but Paul would have the balls for such a radical solution but it is no different htan anyone one of use with a family with LOTS of debt, loss of income, and risk of beig foreclosed or repoed. If you do not lower your lifestyle, sell your shit, and work 2 jobs for several years the bank will do all that for you on their terms rather than yours.
Ron Paul is honest and gives answers no one wants to hear.
Everyone was excited about how the economy is screaming and moving forward with 3x more postings than last year! ... the jobs were all insurance selling door to door, hotel maids, cocktail waitressing, etc. This was a professional job fair too and only one of the 40 employers had anything over 30k a year!
In that environment would you want to risk your job? Hell no! If I were making 50k a year I would feel fucking rich and be greatful to work 12 hours a day. In that environment where these poor saps would do anything to take your job to feed your kids you have to suck it up. This isn't 1999 anymore.
I remember 12 years ago when I was young, that many people called in sick once a month or took a vacation Friday etc. These folks got laid off in 2001 as soon as the shit hit hte fan. Until the economy improves and there are more jobs than applicants this will continue. In addition with Europe at risk of going into a full great depression if the banking system collapses I would say there is considerable risk right now. Even if the US economy is adding more low wage jobs now than before this will sharply reverse if citigroup, chase, and BOA all go out of business once every bank in Europe also collapses too. It is very serious until governments learn to live within their means.
Where are the file shield and behavior settings in MSE? They are not there. The file is compared after it is written and yes, after it is executed. Sure it had some nice success rates that were near the top last spring. It is down a little bit, but MSE does a great job removing them.
Just from what I hear and what I see. Heuristics and behavior based settings prevent something from being executed and that is why Kaspersky and Avast are great products. Kaspersky is even more heavy duty but slows down systems too much in my opinion.
