Don't you kind of expect that there's going to be some of that on a US-based site with a largely US-based membership? Don't be like my countrymen who travel abroad and complain that nobody speaks English.
No vaccine is 100% effective, so some people who are vaccinated will catch the disease. Since the vast majority of people are vaccinated, it's no surprise that most of the victims were vaccinated.
The boss sees you with a smartphone, he assumes you're always on duty. Because he can. Because YOU can.
Well, you could:
(1) Not give your boss the number. Grapple the expectation head-on. (2) Give your boss the number with the caveat that at some places the reception really sucks. "Gee, boss, sorry I missed your call. I must have been in a dead spot!" (3) Get a Google Voice number, and give that to your boss. It's up to you whether or not you forward it to your phone.
It sounds like a deal you shouldn't pass up. And I admire your loyalty. Your new employer will appreciate your loyalty, too, when you explain to them how you still need to help your old company out.
I am sure they would accommodate your working with your old employer until they can get on their feet once again. Perhaps telecommute some, or work at the old job a few days a week.
If they had objections to that, I would question wanting to work for them...
I wish I had mod points so I could rate this Funny.
On the off chance that you are serious, I suspect that the fraction of employers who would welcome such an arrangement is very low, especially if it were an open-ended arrangement. I imagine everybody would be much more comfortable if you start the new job later, and give extended notice at the old job.

On topic, I LOVE Star Wars. I even loved the prequel trilogy, except for Jar-Jar.
I also loved Scalzi's article, and the article in Cracked about the blunders (like, why didn't the Death Star just blow up Yavin and let the blast wave take care of the rebel base on its moon?) Folks need to be lightening up.
So while they say that charging is ok, the whole point of the license is to make the code so open that it's impossible proprietarize it enough to make any money from it.
No, the point is to make it so the people who sent in the patches that you accepted will know that you will not lock their contributions up behind a proprietary wall.
If you do want to so lock up the code, maybe you should either (1) refuse patches or (2) negotiate with the contributors so that you have the right to do that. You're going to have to do that with a BSD license anyway, and you are therefore no worse off.
What's up with all the sheeple standing around watching? It's shameful that such a large crowd was too timid to stop the police from doing something so obviously wrong. What exactly would it take to get the crowd to intervene?
I'm sure that if they knew some jackass who wasn't even there would be calling them "sheeple," they'd have jumped the cops right there and then! What's a few 9mm slugs compared to the sting of being labeled "sheeple" on Slashdot?
I just wish "Progressives' had the balls to quit hiding behind language tricks and just start stamping "politically incorrect" on sites they disapprove of. If they REALLY had stones they would brand em "Crimethinkers".
I dunno, I think "dumbasses" works just fine! Except for Little Green Footballs, VDARE, Michelle Malkin, and Free Republic, which need the label "major-league dumbasses."
So, unless someone toes a liberal party line their opinion has no value?
Works for me!
I kid, I kid...
Seriously, though, if WorldNutDaily said that the sun was up, I'd look to make sure. Occasionally they make sense, but usually they're just a cog in the conservative culture of complaint.
The result is that the "max bid" system doesn't perform as it was intended, but it was a good idea.
This assumes that the point of the bidding system is not to sell an item at the highest possible price it can fetch. I don't think this is a good assumption.
If that employee was George from Seinfeld, controlled the world markets, and had just had a fight with his boss it might even be true. But really that person is moving, or found a better job, or has some totally non-hateful reason for leaving and planned to use the two weeks to wrap up their work, whose worst crime will be extra networking time with co-workers. Or, if they are malicious, they've likely got an IQ over 7 and they'll have already done whatever they were going to do.
Think of it this way:
If your live-in lover cleans out your bank account and then dumps you, all your friends are going to say something like "sucks, dude, tough break."
If the lover dumps you, and then two weeks later still has access to the bank account and cleans you out, your friends are going to say something like "you idiot, what were you thinking?"
Now replace "live-in lover" with "employee," "friends" with "boss," and "what were you thinking" with "you're fired."
Bought a Casio camera from them in '01. It arrived without the IBM Microdrive that was supposed to come with it, and when I got in touch with them, they sent me a replacement, hassle-free.
But then again any compiler that requires me to signify the end of a logic statement or code block with "end" or a curly brace or anything of that sort I find to be brain dead.
See, now, I was just thinking the same about languages that care how much whitespace is at the start of a line.
Does anyone know the benefits of using RoR as opposed to say...PHP...or Chilisoft ASP?
Yes. Rails does a huge amount of stuff for you that you would have to do on your own with ASP or PHP. You can do a hell of a lot of stuff without ever, ever writing the equivalent of rs.MoveNext().
But it is unethical to post such a link under your own username rather than anonymous... this way, it's kinda karma whoring, which is probably why the moderator modded you down.
What has Slashdot come to, when people will try to whore Karma by actually, you know, posting something useful?
Why didn't they wait 1 more day for the 1.0 final?
Because then it'll be three days before the release of BitMangler 2.0 final, which is just two days before the release of DiskTwaddler 1.0 (after three years in the.9 series, finally.) And then, of course, since you've already pushed back the release, you might as well wait another week for the release of PornoBot 3.5, which adds voice commands as demanded in thousands of one-handed e-mail messages.
There's also the fact that while I have no doubt Firefox will make its date, surprises do have a tendency to cluster around software releases. Best not to make someone else's nasty surprise yours.

Yeah, 'cuz nobody would expect that from PETA.

Likewise. Just bite the bullet and point your MXs at Google. You'll be glad you did.

If the business can get by fine without the employee, you might be better off letting them go home after they give their notice.
After all, as the commenter upthread implied, even honest and competent employees can get injured on-the-job and file a workman's compensation claim.

When people instigate, it encourages others to do the same, and the situation can get out of control quickly.
