Seriously. I think troubleshooting and fire-fighting IT problems is a lot more fun challenging than creating the problems with his poorly written code.
I don't know I had a whole long tirade planned for this article. I've been outsouced or wrong-sourced so many times it's not funny. I've probably trained 20 replacements. One time they replaced me with 6 people (5 of them H1Bs and one Leader from the US). After 3 months they hired me back. Other times they just suffered on until someone else took up the work.
The way I look at it, if you CAN'T find people here capable of doing the work, then you should be able to go outside the US to find someone who can. The problem is, these companies aren't looking for people who CAN do the job here. They don't even look here, they go straight to the H1B market. They don't want to pay IT people what's they are worth.
Two additional points...
H1B is a fancy way of saying "Indentured Servant", I don't know all the rules but I have had good friends who tried to move or get paid what they were worth, but the contract house they worked for could hold that H1B up and threaten them with going home if they asked for any more money.
Did anyone realize that most "Executive Support" is done by Non-H1B workers? Everywhere I've worked if the executives (and sometimes everyone in accounting) have their own support group they are all from the US. Just saying... How come they get to have the expensive people come plug their new monitors in when their more important than the core business (building cars/airplanes/medical devices).
This sucks, I became a ranter..
Claymores (landmines) don't need to be present. If you have to, you could fill them with paintballs. Get an alert that someone is in the area of your door and if they take anything with them trigger the device remotely. (obviously, I don't condone anyone actually do this, but I shouldn't have to say that)
I mean except all normal Americans. We will either end up with a Douche or the Turd Sandwich. Both are dirty lying greedy spotlight whores. Hillary is Stalin and Trump is Hitler. One's in the pocket of the Russians and the other is Owned by the Chinese.
The American people can get nothing good out of this train-wreck of an election. I feel sorry for us all.
I had to laugh, actually out loud.... when reading "a U.S. cyberattack targeting Russia's election process" Russia's election process is even more predetermined that the US. In the US it's not "obvious" voter fraud, just a bunch of "Community Organizers" (occasionally from Chicago or maybe Kenya) who get a lot of votes from people who may or may not be dead. Bussed around by people who may be handing out food or money for expenses to "help: them vote. From my understanding in Russia many elections are 100% of votes cast go the same candidates that are government approved.
In the US, many elections are determined way ahead of time by the people with all the money and power. I wouldn't be really surprised if the Demi-crooks and Republi-creeps didn't have it all set out before the election is held.
I will still vote for a 3rd party candidate and so will most of the people I know. Especially in this election where both of the major party candidates are total crap. We have the choice between a Douche and a Turd Sandwich (Yes, a South Park reference)...
So, Trump is controlled by Russia, Hillary is controlled by China... By control I mean funded by. How come the US populace hasn't decided to elect anyone else?
Who puts real information about yourself in your yahoo profile. I found the picture of some guy on the internet. The dates are all made up. I mean the only dumber thing is putting real information on that face-palm site.
We still have several F1's in several states, we could reproduce the parts with little effort (would have to be made overseas because US has no large scale manufacturing left). I think the real hard part would be putting them together so they work in a complete system.
AT&T makes me pay for a phone line to my home that I don't use. It gets tons of political calls, I plan on forwarding that number to the FTCs main switchboard and see if they notice. If that doesn't work I'm going to start forwarding it to some other politician until they get the point.
If I wanted to hear from Trump or Clinton or any other robocaller, I would call them. They don't need to call me. Robocalling is pointless and just makes me hate them both even more.
I would bet that both sides were rigged (probably by the same people).
If Trump is "Hitler", does that make Hillary "Joseph Stalin"? Which would make Bernie "Vladimir Lenin"...
So all that money Bullhorn (hillary) took from the Chinese is OK, but for a "Super-HAC" of hackers to divulge illegal activity in the DNC is seen as seen as more "meddling in American politics".
I wonder where some of you Snowden lovers sit with this? Is this whistle-blowing or hacking?
There is now "News" here and it's not anything real geeks want to hear or know about. This presidential race is a Douche Vs. A Turnd Sandwich. Both candidates are almost equally awful and devoid of any real understanding of any of the issues that face real people.
I usually give a couple weeks notice, I've occasionally gotten counter-offers but never accepted. When asked I have given feedback.
For a couple of companies where I truly loved working for I gave them as much notice as possible and turned over 100% of what I knew. I couldn't give them my experience but I did give them knowledge. At one company I was contracting for, by doing this I amazed my boss at how much information I had collected over the years. She did try to arrange my employment either as a direct hire or another contract house (with the company absorbing the penalty) but neither could come close to match the learning opportunity that I was being given. If either of those places had an opening that would support what I need to make I would go back in a hearbeat, and I know they would love to have me.
I do love the company that I work for now (I might be a contractor but the company I am at now treats us as employees).

Didn't anyone hear about this before? http://www.spreadingsantorum.c... If you know how it works of course you can "manipulate" it. How is this news?

What else do you call them? That's what they are...

You took the words right out of my post. :-)
Is this really a shock? Seriously, is this cause or effect? Did they have low blood flow before using?
I love this response!!

+1 for each thing above that I did not know..
I say we dust off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I wish I had mod points for you.

That's it
The story reminds me of Laurel and Hardy's exploding cigar gag (Great Guns 1941). Someone should put them up on Youtube so we can all watch.
