This 'rick has found a tech support stooge, you. He has some descent social skills and knows that if you think he's a friend or likable he will get what he wants without having to pay for it.
Not necessarily what I think, just one way of looking at the relationship.
someone who was unfortunate enough to be brought up by asshole parents who instilled trust and obedience so strongly he didn't think to question their bullshit lies.
I've known enough disgruntled former LLNL, LANL, and NASA employees to know there's no freakn' consipracy. (People from Apollo to the Shuttle). If you had any idea what the turn over rate was for NASA and USA you wouldn't be surprised either. Some of these people made postal workers look happy.
This guy is just gearing up to sell a book and do the talkshow circuit, he's in it for the $.
People need to get their physics from sites other than the ones catalogued on crank.net.
In internation phone call spying operation worked really well didn't it?
Af for the S.C. conspriacy, if you met somebody who was 16 who still believed in SC this person had other issues. For the most part it really works well on people less than 10 years old.
In general when people refer to Microsoft Certs they're refering to MCSE and MCP. I don't know any MCSDs either.
You say you want to get out of QA? You can probably find a job in fast food and get promoted to assistant manager quickly. You don't have to persue MS credentials.
But if you want to stay in IT, what do you want to do? Pick something. If you just want to get out of QA you're going to be stuck there for a very long time. But if you pick something your hopes are much better, getting certified is something will help too. Somebody might not want to pay you for that, but it can still help you get out of QA.
Here's another hint, if you do get an MCSE, get it early in your career, many people will look at when you get that MCSE and start counting experience from there. No lie. If they know you're an MCSE they ask: "When did you get the MCSE?" Not "How long has you been doing this?"
Just imagine how many jobs Bill G. has created with his "High Quality", "User Friendly", "Secure" software like the Windows series of Operating Systems.
Boycott Miro on Amazon.
Post negative ratings, and make sure everybody knows that the people who own the rights to Miro's works don't deserve one dime.
The toy isn't going to hurt productivity. The people who are going to use it do do some thing useful are going to do something useful. They ones in meetings who use them to im each other are going to be doodling on their notepads rather than working anyway.
I you voted, you probably voted of Inhofe as well.
The DO sucks. I lived in OK long enough to know; more than 20 years. Gaylord used it to further his personal, conservative agenda, any news contradicting that was stuffed. On top of that the DO is about as Christian as Pat Robertson and 700 Club.
You should read the DO's coverage of an event, then read the WSJ's coverage of the same event. The DO is pretty much nothing but editorial's disguised as journalism.
I am a foster parent with currently 3 foster children in my home and I have only one thing to say to you. If you pity the children here, be a MAN and open your home to allow some of these children you say you pity into your life. Show them what a DAD should be! Ya I thought so... Any male with functioning equipment can become a Father; it takes a MAN to be a DAD! These children are in very good homes.../blockquote>
I suggest you re-read the first part and ask yourself what kind of an opinion does this leave, one that will convince people that people in small towns in OK create nurturing environments for foster kids or it something that they wear on their sleave ance and that they're going to turn the children into more self-rightous, bible thumping, shitkickers.
there are a few problems in every area of life (i.e. City government) which are the ones that make the news. No I do not go to church w/e with this guy, nor do I know where or IF he does go. Unfortunately you are most likely correct however, in stating that he will likely not lose his job, but incompetence, on this level, should be rewarded by exactly that. Make no mistake however that this one individual represents in any fashion the rest of the community.
First every city is fucked in the way of politics. Tuttle is no different from Tulsa, OKC, Glennpool, Atoka, or Pryor. I heard a wedding sermon in Pryor that consisted of "Woman obey they husband", and set it was a seron, and yes it was a wedding. And they all claimed to be good people.
Second you don't get anyplace in small town politics without knowing and fitting in with the right people. (The same can be said of national politics, but I've only had direct expierence with Inhofe). You can bet the guy fits in quite well with the city council and/or mayors office depending on how the city is chartered. He's probably also related to somebody in town with influence as well, maybe just inlaws. (At one time it also helped to have been be one of Gaylord's cronies, I don't know anything about Gaylord II.) But I suggest you do some digging, you'll probably find out that he's just another small town cronie. The only advantage a big city has is you're less likely to have to deal directly with the cronies and their kin and there's more diversity.
Tuttle is a town located about 20min from downtown Oklahoma City. Most of the people living out here work in Oklahoma City.
Same with Glenpool and Tulsa, some of the nastiest shit-kickers I've ever met, the popular and rich ones were the nastiest. And they all said pretty much the same thing you just did with exactly the same attitude. There were a few good people too, I hope they moved.
I may sound cynical and bitter, but that's only because I've known too many people in places like that.
You must go to the same or similar church, or not be very close to them.
I lived in a small town in OK; briefly. I pity the children in the foster homes there.
I have my doubts as to whether or not he will be fired, depends on who he know, goes to church with, and how good a friends he is with the mayor. He'll probably just get a repremand, and off with saying "good people make mistakes, and the issue was resolved".
Taylor is a city official in a small town in OK. In general these people are hateful SOBs to anybody who isn't like him, you know like doesn't go to his Church, isn't one of th boys etc. They can be very polite to people who are just passing throuh, but never mistake that for being good people, to know them is to dispise them.
Few folks remember the electrical problems Jags had before the Ford acquisition. We had a family friend with one who carried a fire extinguisher 'just in case'.
You friend was no fool. I know of a brand new TR7 that burned up because of bad electrics.

I gave up cafeine for more than 2 months.
It had no effect other than having to thing about what I could drink rather than what I wanted to drink.
A very cynical way of looking at things:
This 'rick has found a tech support stooge, you. He has some descent social skills and knows that if you think he's a friend or likable he will get what he wants without having to pay for it.
Not necessarily what I think, just one way of looking at the relationship.
And there are the issues I mentioned...
I've known enough disgruntled former LLNL, LANL, and NASA employees to know there's no freakn' consipracy. (People from Apollo to the Shuttle). If you had any idea what the turn over rate was for NASA and USA you wouldn't be surprised either. Some of these people made postal workers look happy.

Humor is lost on some people...
Just remember evertime you watch a DVD that counts as a $3 loss because they didn't get any PPV revenue from it.
Don't arrest the Illegals crossing the border, tranq them then tag them with permanant RFID implants. Preferably in the form of a suppository.
Equip the police with scanners and a list of IDs. Then all they have to do is scan the illegals, and fine the employers. It will pay for itself.

Fujisawa says: "Time to buy stock; since we know how often Dvorak is right".

If you're looking for a list of movies that were worse, just have a look at what the Academy nominated last year.

DUDE!

It certainly wouldn't be blocked by the US Administration, they might even give BG a grant to help out.
How about Free as in "Free Crack"?

I simply backed up my opinion with reference.
In 1999 the Columbia Journalism Review published an article citing the Daily Oklahoman as being the worse newspaper in america. I doubt Gaylord II has improved it much.

Ever see what happens to a car engine when the fan breaks loose while the car is running @ 70 MPH?
You friend was no fool. I know of a brand new TR7 that burned up because of bad electrics.
Yeah old joke...
