Last week, one of the VP's was chewing my ass because some code that was moved into production 3 hours after its creation wasn't 100% correct. I stuck up for myself and said, "this is the very first initial version, it's not going to be perfect".
After the VP left, my boss assured me that the VP "is on our side". Oh, and he called me to come into work although I had Strepp throat.
Project Managers, support your people. You don't have to risk your jobs, but try to keep reason in the decision making process.
In addition to this, if they've brought you on via a temp agency or similar, they could be paying a commission ranging from 15-50% on top of your salary.
Everybody knows that Atlantis exists in another galaxy and was recently found by a multi-national Stargate team who found that much of the city was still operational and solar powered.
I think they even started making a documentary series about this.
Well, what do you know? All of the postmark deadlines are past... the most recent was 4 days ago. Therefore, my original point stands. Providing information to people overseas is no longer relevant because their ballots should already be in transit.
Next, the specific point I was challenging was: Granted, it's primarily Republicans that are fighting to ensure that not all the votes counted, as they did in 2000 when they argued before the Supreme Court that racially marginalized populations don't deserve to have their votes counted (being too brown, and all), but it's not at all inconceivable that someone overseas might not know how to vote and might need to find out how to vote.
Your story does not address this. It states merely that the Democratic party requested and received permission to ONLY recount votes in certain areas.
And in order to *RECOUNT* something, it must be COUNTED in the first place.
Now, do you have any sources to prove the original accusation?
In a time where 537 votes makes ALL the difference, the ten-thousand plus Americans overseas certainly do not consider themselves a statistically negligible group. Your feelings may vary.
The absentee ballot deadline is long past.

Do you have a source for this? Perhaps where people filed suit against Florida (or anyone else) in 2000 to describe how their votes were not counted?
Thanks, I think this would be helpful for all of us.
Because if you can label them something bad (racist, homophobe, zealot, nutball, nazi, commie, etc), then you can promptly dismiss their argument without addressing it.
At Microcenter last Friday (10/15), I picked up an 802.11a/b/g router with a 4-port switch built in and a 802.11g usb keyfob for $137... or $107 after rebates.
If this cost is split with a roommate/suitemate or two, this is not bad at all.
And is specifies them as "campus owned" computers...
At some schools - like my alma mater Rose-Hulman - all of the students are required to buy laptops, so the "school owned" computer to student ratio is incredibly low.
Of course, freshmen there have been required to buy laptops since 1995.
I'm a contributor to dotproject and this request has been made before. It has been ranked lower priority since it normally is something that doesn't directly fall in line with project management.
This is nothing new.... it's called the Audio Visual Prototyping Project and I worked on it from July '01 until March '03.
Yes, EVERYTHING was going to go online and copyrighted stuff was limited to those who were physically present in the library. They public stuff - like Thomas Edison's first motion pictures - are already online through the American Memory project.
They are people selected or appointed to serve in a purely non-governmental role to represent a particular group.
By this logic, all of the protesters who went to NYC on behalf of all the anti-Bush and/or pro-Kerry organizations should have their personal information shared too. I don't think either side should have that info made public.
The delegates and users of protest warriors are not public figures.
There were numerous reports from NYC of delegates to the RNC being accosted. There are many reports of campaign headquarters being shot at, ransacked and stormed in the past few days. I would say that this information was posted with the explicit purpose of targetting those people.
If these were Communists, people would be screaming about "black listing".
That's right. A web-publisher can put any conditions he/she wants on viewing the content in the question. You can be asked to pay money, watch an advert, or use certain software.
Yep, my bank used to purposely stop people from logging in if they weren't using the specific version of IE. I sent them a few notes expressing my "disappointment that your organization is unconcerned about the security of my financial information" and "dissappointment that your organization insists on using a web browser that has been recommended to avoid by CERT, DHS, etc".
That got their attention... and they still have a little notice page for non-IE browsers, but they let us in and everything works.

I've done exactly this... I have Mantis, dotProject, SugarCRM, and a few other things running internally that no one even wonders where they are.
And all the while, they're running on a little box under my desk.
And Mantis will run on an IIS box once you put php on it and have a mysql database somewhere.
The funny thing is that Tenet was put in place by Clinton and was a hold over..
that should have been fired on 9-12-2001.
My boss is doing exactly this right now.

That's additional leverage for you.

I did the reverse on yesterday's Atlantis posting:

Good call.
I can't wait until some compromise comes along and then uses this search tool to *make sure* it finds the right files to send to 3rd parties...
This sounds like your emphacising the strengths of an open market-based system.
I'm glad someone besides me has taken some basic econ....

Duh.
Don't you know that the UK, China, France, Cuba, Afghanistan, and every other country in the world should be able to vote for in the POTUS election?

Isn't that what you say to Narl in Baldur's Gate?
Walmart has so much purchasing power with wholesalers that this current story is just everyday business.
It makes business sense to treat your high-volume repeat customers well... who would you want to please more?
The guy who pays 1% of your paycheck or the guy who pays 20% of your paycheck?

They also published the personal information of the delegates which included home addresses, phone numbers, and places of work.
There were also numerous hacks around that time (protestwarrior for one) in which personal information was posted on Indymedia sites.
When anti-abortion groups post this information on doctors who perform abortions, it is considered a threat. Why is this any different?
I work for the first 3.5 months of each year essentially without pay due to withholdings...
Now the fun thing to point out is that the payment of such taxes MUST be voluntary otherwise Amendment XIII applies.
And if it's voluntary...
Better yet, let's close down everything that is not explicitly covered by the Constitution.
We'd probably cut the budget by 50% in 1 year's time.
