  1. Re:That's it, i'm giving back my geek card on Who is Winning the Web Talent War · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how you read that tech is superior to marketing or anything else. You have not explained how someone should be sales peon I or sales peon II or sales peon MCXIIVIM for doing the same thing over and over again. I pointed out techies have an opportunity for advancement because they are promoted to do different things on new projects.

    Perhaps you need to take a deep breath and re-read what I wrote.

    Only if you're buying it from a 3rd party/insurance company. If Amazon is charging *YOU* $5k bond, you have to put up all $5k with Amazon. Unless you buy a 3rd party bond. But, remember what you just said about good credit record? That means, if you're using a stolen credit card, you probably won't get it. Or, you may, in the first few cases, until the insurance/bond companies figure it out.

    Not sure why you get modded up. Does it _really_ matter to you whether you are sales peon I or sales peon II or sales peon XVIIVMC?

    In a sales department, there will only be so many territorial managers. There will only be so many sales directors.

    What kind of promotions did you have in mind?

    The reason the tech people can get more "promotions" is that they have a lot more projects, and these projects open up fresh lines for others. I'm sure if they open up GoogleMoonbase, there will be lots of sales promotions too.

    Color me someone who never got the "Oooo, I just got promoted for doing the same job over and over again".

    First, you have to define customer. Do you think the masses of sheep they call customer is actually the customer they have in mind? Or do you think it's things like riaa/mpaa/etc that are actually the "real" customers?

    Linux torrents are what keeps me awake all night long, compulsively checking every few minutes to make sure it's still downloading, and how long more to go. Of course, I make sure I seed too, after I'm done. And thank god there's so many Linux distros, so I can download a fresh new different one everynight! Oh oh, here comes another one.

    And that is my exact problem with the fucking hypocrites. We, who only believe in Jesus Christ, are putting forward "something" that claims that there is a higher entity, but we will not call him Jesus Christ. In any other context, a discussion of a "higher" being will always be about Jesus Christ. But in this one case, we will not claim that higher being is Jesus, but that he is a "higher being".

    What fucking hypocrisy.
