Oh it is working very well. Have not you heard Obama last week? They want to proclaim a new feudal model in the digital world, as if we needed music and movies to breath. They want to prevent you for getting anything that does not come directly from hollywood, and god forbids you get it from other sources. They want you not to ditch cable and go only with Internet. And they have very deep pockets, with money suckers, pardon, customers give them to screw us and buy politicians.
Exactly. Internet knows no borders and no politics. It is an outdated model to enforce. For instance, back here they are (re)running in a paid channel TruBlood Season 3 for the nth time. I already saw it maybe 2 or 3 years ago...
I was just reinforcing a point where salaries and consulting gigs have a very different pay base. I have had a consulting firm who did not know I already secured a job, and that competitors where offering me much more for the same gig, offering me 4k for two months for a telecom gig in Timor Leste. I told them they were idiots in their face.
If have got an interesting argument there. Concerning the Portuguese language, it is rather sad Portugal does not invest in the ex-Colonies. Brasil and France have a much stronger presence and are giving far more cultural aid, with a propensity to French overcoming more easily Portuguese. However, I do not believe at all in the dominance of Africa, since corruption has been undermining that corner of the world, and that wont stop ever. If anything, what we are witnessing in Africa is more and more Chinese colonies and interests. A few years ago, they even tried to buy an area in Mozambique up north to build an entire Chinese city. Interestingly enough, some common sense prevailed, and the transaction was not approved at higher instances. They may be corrupt to the core, but after all, are not that stupid.
There is code and code. Often more than not, it is really the specifics of implementing that count (i.e. the code). I remember stumbling upon a integer circle drawing function for the Z80 on a magazine, and while building the code, I got like 4 or 5 sheets of A4 paper. I got so irritated with it I teared the sheets, and sure enough, in one hour, I had a substitute code that was no more than 10-15 lines, and much more efficient. I also remember at work having inherited code that had to read or write data to SQL, instead of using intermediary caches, gods know why. I shaved run times from 50 minutes to 5.
I do not have an idea what business you where running, but there are several points to the question...while you need people with years of background and training to develop the product, often the salespeople only bring bullshit to the equation. So why should they get more money? You do not need experienced people to sell, though that helps. And you ignored on your reply the point of the unit producing the product being a cost centre.
This is simple, they are barriers of entry to the market and should be illegal. Only the big ones have enough traction, time and people, and know how to be basically working for free for the media cartels. The pa & mon ISPs have no chance at that.
it is not only the hassle of moving my ass to the cinema. Is them having the nerve to ram me with more than 1h of publicity when supposedly I am the customer. Is the cleanliness of the environment, or rather the lack of it. Having idiots around eating, drinking and talking. And really, as you said, having the technology at home in a much more friendly environment and on my own schedule.
This is just FUD. Whatever the number of the eyes, they are certainly far more than open source. I have already contributed many bug reports and often fixes, would you care to elaborate how I would do that in a closed source model? Because I am *very* curious.
I also do not get the uk market. It used to be attractive, not anymore. I was a consultant for 5 years, and it is as you say...60K is a good salary for a salaried position. As a consultant I would not charge less than 100 per day, at least and depending on the duration of the gig. I have seen consulting positions for Bristol for 3 months, 400 pounds per day.
Sorry about the double reply, I noticed something in your email, and forgot to include it. About the rehashing of same jobs again and again, keep in mind there have been studies about 40% of the adverts being fake. Some are made up to increase the perceived value of the company in the market or just to dust off their portfolio of candidates just in case.
I am also a sysadmin with some devop background. It would be interesting to know where you are coming from. I am employed, and have been contacted regularly by people both local and abroad outlets. As for the local ones, both in Portugal and Gibraltar, I have had enough. They ask for the moon, are clueless to know what they want, do not offer any specialisation path, and worse, the pay is low, even for the current market. Ireland seems to be an interesting proposition, Germany not so much, Europe of the North has some interesting projects going on, apparently for our mother tongue Brazil too. Australia seems to always have been very backwards in technology no idea why, and the African market for our ex-colonies was very hot ten years ago, but not anymore. Asia seems to have potencial at the moment, but I really do not know the market (my wife is Asian).
You made a rather interesting point on possibly being for housekeeping for the chip. However, think about the math. I give you 128GB in 1000 units instead of 1024, how could it be more? The disk manufacturers have also pulled this trick for ages, however RAM manufacturers when they include parity, do not count it as space.
No, I have not the 8GB, 16GB, whatever GB they are selling. I rather think if those gentlemen want to him, rather than complaining about the new OS taking more memory (stupid), they could complaint about Apple misleading people about 1K = 1000. I certainly feel cheated about my "128" iPhone having only 114GB.
Oddly enough, when I was in mozambique after the end of the civil war, there was not any kind of animal in sight near cities except for bats. I guess they are not that tasty.

Cool, now slashdot runs adverts for the bad guys. Pay us and you will get your shiny files back. Very smart.

I have seen until now is that is in vogue is bullshitting. Stop making up new words to look smart.

Exactly the point. 60k year is not pay for a consulting gig.

Going to movies for social contact seems like a terrible ideia. Better skip it and going directly to the drinks.

I just write pounds whenever I need it...

Kim Jong-un since you have the fame, would you reap it and hack those SOB?
Oddly enough, when I was in mozambique after the end of the civil war, there was not any kind of animal in sight near cities except for bats. I guess they are not that tasty.
Or more probably eating them
The study may have been published now, but the patient zero has been identified 1 or 2 months ago. Journalism at its best.
Boycott all of them...To be honest, IMHO, the worst actors are Sony and Disney, however they are all the same scum and hide behind a MPAA label.
Saying atheists are believers is like saying a homeless has an invisible home.
