Bullshit. If women want to work in the industry, they should have to do the same work as men. Changing the condition of the job so women will do the job is special treatment for women.
If men have to be on-call, so do women, end of discussion.
If you don't want to pay the price, don't do the job.
I saw an article by a woman talking about why women are paid less than men. She figures it is because women go for the quality of life jobs while men go for the money. Women will take lower paying jobs with higher job satisfaction, better hours, etc. while men will kill themselves for the big buck.
No surprise that women are leaving IT when the jobs suck more and more.
Funny, but from what I understand from the IRS most audits are triggered by computer. Being part of the last minute rush doesn't help at all. A few are triggered by strange claims, but even then, those are flagged by computer.
Maybe they should not have waited until the last minute. I finished my taxes and got my refund over a month ago. There is absolutely no excuse for waiting until the last minute to file.
If this passes, I foresee a federal lawsuit claiming Washington state can not make this law as it effects interstate commerce which is the domain of the Federal Government.
(e) Not earlier than July 1, 2008, define the 26 architecture standards for enterprise information technology 27 and develop implementation approaches for statewide migration 28 to those standards.... 31 (13)(10) "Standards" means the use of current, open, *snipped for readablity* 1 nonproprietary, or non-vendor-specific technologies.
I am thinking 282.0041(13) could be changed to say " nonproprietary, and non-vendor-specific technologies." and it would have the same effect as the entire section listed in the article.
People lie, people are stupid, and people think we are stupid.
People will have something break, try to fix it themselves, then call for help, then lie about what they did.
People will do really stupid things then lie about it.
People will do things that obviously void their warranty and then lie about it.
"It was broken before I opened it, so why won't you fix it under the warranty?"
"My baby likes to play with my cell phone, so I let her play with it. It stopped working after she put it in her mouth. You mean that isn't covered under the warranty?!? My husband is a doctor and we are going to sue you!"
"You mean the salesman lied to me? I am going to sue your company. What do you mean I can't sue your company, he was your salesman! What to you mean he doesn't work for your company, he sold me your product!"
I have model X and it won't do this thing I want it to do.
Model X doesn't have that feature. What do you mean it doesn't have that feature? Everything can do that. Only models Y and Z support that. You are LYING! Let me talk to your supervisor!
I am a contractor at a major telecom company. As it happens, my contracting company is an Indian company. Over half the people I work with are Indian.
One of my co-workers is Indian and in India. But, he does nothing because of legal restrictions. He is hardly ever around because he gets so many vacations, holidays, and training days. He can only work a 40 hour week and can not work on the weekends, which is when he is actually needed.
He gets paid a salary to do nothing, my team is down a member, and we three on-shore people are doing the work of 4 ( actually more as we are understaffed ).
Almost all of today's popular items are complex devices, having numerous parts, requiring complex assembly.
One might be able to "print out" a sculpture or a new case, but one will not be able to "print out" a completed iPod. At best, one could print out the parts and have to assemble them.
Will the chimps be forced to live by human law? If a chimp kills another animal, will it be arrested for animal cruelty? If a chimp kills another chimp, will it be murder? How about if a chimp kills a human? How about rape, assault, etc?
For one to have human rights, one has to have human responsiblities.
I work for a major telecom company doing production support for in-house Java and C apps running on various UNIX flavors. My desktop is WinXP with Cygwin. It does me well.
Are you trying to say that you are only a journalist if you have a formal license to be a journalist from the government, like a doctor or lawyer?
No, he is saying if one wants to be a journalist, one needs to follow the rules of journalism, act like a journalist, and earn the respect of other people as a journalist. Having a blog does not make one a journalist and does not entitle one to anything.
If bloggers would actually practice journalism instead of spewing for vile propaganda maybe they would get treated like journalists.
If one wallows in the mud with pigs, one should not complain about being treated like a pig.
If one wallows around with people who put out "Bush is fsking Devil! The Iraq war is the same as the Nazis' war! Bush is a Nazi! All corporations are EVIL! We pwn your data! Companies charge too much for something I want for free! Libs are teh moonbats! Libs eat turds! The Dems are surrender monkeys! Gay Marriage is Teh EVIL! NO, Gay Marriage ROXOR and you are a NAZI! The Bushies are spying on everyone and will track everything everyone does all the time! Death to Israel! Death to America! Death To Muslims! "
Be a reporter, not an op-ed columnist. Put out facts, not opinions. Report both sides of the story, don't just squeal out your personal beliefs.
You talk of censorship. But is it censorship to regulate the purchasing of porn to adults? Should children be able to walk into Joe's Adult Superstore and buy "Anal Masters 6"?
Your post is completely irrelevant to the article because speech is not being regulated. What is being regulated is a technical issue. Specifically, what kind of data is available on what ports of TCP/IP.
Let's remember that the Constitution was written to prevent Federal government from going bonkers and destroying our ability to not just choose for ourselves
This act would actually improve people ability to choose by standardizing where content one might find objectionable is located. It would allow people to do the equivalent of blocking channels on a TV.
It would be better to say "This range of ports shall only contain child friendly content" or in some way set a section of the internet for "families and children". I am all for giving the fundies their own slice of the ports for the content they prefer.

What you have just said and mismanagement are the reasons I am leaving my current job.
I saw an article by a woman talking about why women are paid less than men. She figures it is because women go for the quality of life jobs while men go for the money. Women will take lower paying jobs with higher job satisfaction, better hours, etc. while men will kill themselves for the big buck.
No surprise that women are leaving IT when the jobs suck more and more.
Unless your tax bill is in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, it pays less than $5.00 to keep the money.
Don't spend it in one place, ok?
Funny, but from what I understand from the IRS most audits are triggered by computer. Being part of the last minute rush doesn't help at all. A few are triggered by strange claims, but even then, those are flagged by computer.
Let's start signing up these judges for every kind of spam available.

It may even be OK as is.
So,basically, what you are saying is "People lie, people are stupid, and people think we are stupid."
People will have something break, try to fix it themselves, then call for help, then lie about what they did.
People will do really stupid things then lie about it.
People will do things that obviously void their warranty and then lie about it.
"It was broken before I opened it, so why won't you fix it under the warranty?"

How about large, flying whales?
I am not sure, but I think he might want us to check out his blog.

"Some assembly Required"
Almost all of today's popular items are complex devices, having numerous parts, requiring complex assembly.
One might be able to "print out" a sculpture or a new case, but one will not be able to "print out" a completed iPod. At best, one could print out the parts and have to assemble them.
And then, one has the problem of programming.

I have had OpenOffice crash on my Windows box a large number of times.
One person's experience does not a truth make.
Yeah. I know. I was refuting the GPP contention is all.
It is better than nothing, and it makes the Fundies feel better. That is the best use of it, as far as I am concerned.
The one that really pisses me off is when I search for things like Magic cards or Nintendo games for my nephews and see porn sites in the results.
...."
"Boobs teen sex porn fuck lolita Magic Mario Nintendo
It's like "WTF? and they claim they are trying to AVOID kids?"
I guess that is why we don't have secure HTTP traffic on port 8080.
Oh, wait....

Either way, there is no perfect solution.
Actually, I have. It has happened by two different mechanisms. One is typo-squatting, the other was loaded search results.
Something to remember is that many home users will type something in the URL and hit enter. That can have all kinds of fun effects.
