Those programmers with 10 years experience moved on (or became too sick to work due to no healthcare). You get the guys they dragged in off of the street yesterday.
If you REALLY want to save some cash, outsource the CEO. He's the single most expensive human resource and there's plenty of qualified European CEOs used to working for 1/10th of what an American costs.
I agree with you on the 2-3 year job hopping. I had a job where I made virtually the same for 3.5 years and then switched and instantly gained 20%+ on my salary and then did it again after a year for another 20%+.
Now I am at 1.6 years on my current job and already looking for the next one. It is the way to move up and make way more money than to stick around and hope to impress your employer.
a) they're scared they won't make it out of the room, though if the board organized they would probably be able to overpower him with only minor casualties.
b) his net worth of 15.2billion (not sure how much is ms stock) they could be scared of what happens afterward.
c) the ms board is as out of touch with the market as ballmer is, and don't think something is wrong.
It is simple, bolt down all the chairs in the room. Problem solved, and now fire him.
If this was in a comic universe, that'd be the obvious outcome: Bio-tinkerer dad is working on a treatment, long-delayed by red tape, protesters and activists attacking his lab for the use of animal testing. When his daughter's heart starts to fail he becomes desperate to cure her before she dies. Short on time tests his prototype serum on the closest biological relative to hand - himself. The treatment grants him the opposite of her symptoms: Great strength and incredible powers of regeneration. As he rushes to hospital he arrives at her room moments after she dies, syringe in hand. Quickly prosecuted for his unauthorised genetic experimentation and unlicensed human testing, he escapes to become BioDad: Doctor on the run, medical consultant for the villain population, stealing supplies as he goes for his last desire: To exact revenge upon those who slowed down the march of science, and cost his daughter her life.
Marriage gives you certain benefits - taxes, insurance rates, access rights, etc - that no other 'grouping' does.
You're never going to get government out of all of the things that marriage gives benefits to.
Rights are given by the government. If marriage gives you extra rights, then the government says what those are.
I am just curious, could same argument be made for having polygamy? I mean what is the difference between TWO people in marriage compared to THREE or more? What difference is there to have more than TWO people in same marriage?
There is no real reason why Google can't do all of these things. Their core market is information. Gathering information. Processing information. Sorting and utilising information.
Once you're good at this, it isn't hard to expand into various uses for that information.
And with the recent NSA scandal, I think they are providing enough enterprise features... even if it is to a couple of 3 letter acronym organizations...
I think this is clearly a sign that the old "Big Box" stores of the 90s and 00s are on the way out. Best Buy is slowly realizing that they'll never be able to compete with Amazon on price, and they don't want to serve as Amazon's showroom, where customers check out the products and head online to actually buy it. But they realize this trend, and how Apple can have a showroom in their Apple stores, and not care if someone ultimately buys it in the Apple store or on Apple.com (or even an Apple product in Best Buy) -- Apple gets paid either way. So by teaming with Microsoft to get them to put a store inside their store, they get to charge them rent, and Microsoft gets paid whether the customer buys the Microsoft product in the store or later on online. I'd almost expect Best Buy to do this with other companies, like having a Sony Store inside, which would ultimately effectively make Best Buy a "mini-mall" of electronics instead of a stand-alone store competing against amazon and walmart (two companies that are difficult to compete against). Microsoft could be a guinea pig here.
That is an interesting concept. I like where this may go.
All I seem to find on this PS4 DRM, is vague hints that it is better... Where are the specifics? Xbox said it will need to phone home every 24 hours, Sony? Who knows. How hard is it to give us details that we can come after them when the whole hype of DRM is over?
And $100 cheaper? How much will the Eye cost if one wants it?
To me it seems they have the same exact price point and NO details on how their DRM will work, none.
In this age of information, it ticks me off when they purposefully withhold this kind of stuff.
I can really see how this could easily take place. And I am sure this is not the only or last introduction to this type of exploit, I am sure many other devices will have more and more similar and greater capability.
Over the 1.5 years working here and using the restroom, I estimate, that 3 out of 4 (75%) do not wash hands when using the urinals... and 1 out of 4 (25%) after taking a dump...
I work at a very well known non-profit in Seattle...
So I learned not to ever shake hands with anyone here... its just gross...
Logic fail. Justin Bieber has millions of fans too. I guess that makes him a fantastic musician. Additionally, by the same logic, that makes Windows a superior desktop OS to any of the Linux distros.
Imagine: British-American, Spanish-American... etc... for people that can be traced way back to the colonies...
My personal opinion is: If you are born in America (USA) you are an American. If you moved here then you can be whatever you like. Otherwise it is just confusing and really not serving any purpose.
Sources for your claims would be nice, unless this is an opinion then who cares.
It is not a very Republican thing to do, something is fishy about this whole thing... Republicans are typically seen as in favor of less regulation and less government interaction. This tesla dealer thing on the other hand goes against that core belief.
But then who can really trust a politician to do what is right for the majority instead of pandering to people/companies/associations that put them and keep them in office...
I recently reinstalled Windows on 3 computers from scratch. I had to manually install the sound drivers, the Ethernet drivers, the Graphics drivers. I had to install from the original OS service pack 2 disks, then due to some Windows weirdness, I had to get Service Pack 3 on.iso to finish that.
What version of Windows was this? Could it be that it is old version (like XP)? Could it be that during your Linux install you used current version of that time and therefore had less issues?
Meaning, when I install Windows 7/8 today, I get all my drivers working at first install. Unlike Current version of Ubuntu that does not support my WiFi device...

I could not agree more on this!
Is anybody happy with using sharepoint?
I am pretty happy about it. Works great if you have competent administrators and good solid infrastructure.
Actually, the Russians can make quality products, provided they are paid what they are owed and on time.
I bet there was some "extra payment" that was not paid... and whoops, you know things happen...

here are some possibilities:

I am sure it was lost in translation... :)

That is pretty sweet, looking for the movie...

...less money left over for food, which means less obesity!...
Obama's new healthcare plan!
I have been on it and did not even know it! Awesome!
I am surprised the NSA has not outsourced USA snooping on private citizens to India, perhaps soon enough or next budget cut...

Make a time machine, and go back to the 80's.
and join Microsoft...

They need to do this at my work restrooms...

Why is information like this on computers that are connected to the internet?
So that it can be leaked, justifying the costly production of a whole new generation of warmachines.
Or to have a reason to bring democracy to China...
Logic fail.

lol, but Windows is prefered choice for Desktop.
That is exactly how I feel about it, this would change our world just like many inventions have in just the last 100-150 years...

Thank goodness someone took the time to read the article and make some sense here. Numbers can always be twisted to whatever agenda you want.
Have no mod points, you would get one.

What kind of setup do you use? I am interested in that kind of low price setup...
