Raymond Chen? Is that you? Because, all software has bugs, but WE CAN EXPLAIN WINDOWZE BUGZ explanation point.
Disclaimer, I have not even tried Win10. But WTF is this?
Bios is from 1981 and has many limitations
Oh, so not Raymond Chen. My bad. Microsoft does not make your BIOS, and most BIOS implementations are more recent than 1991. Oh, that was only 24 years ago, I meant 1981. I remember getting an AMD XP 1800+ system, and the BIOS was far more recent than 1981. It had unbelievable shit that 1981 would be embarrassed to admit. Like boot to CD, so I could install Windows 2000. A custom disk, thanks to Norton Ghost. Without some of the inherent problems. But I digress.
The only 2 things I give Windows 7 credit for today in 2015 is it is rock stable and has a more consistent prettier UI
Isn't that what people want? If not, please let us know what people want. I want rock stable, and I don't want a shitty tablet experience on my desktop.
How do you know if you have a valid reason until your compy is bricked?
The people who can't be bothered should apply almost every patch immediately, but there are plenty of patches that Microsoft has released that immediately brick the computer. XP's "Operating System Not Found" due to not flushing the HDD cache is among the best, but there are more.
I have had a valid reason since "Operating System Not Found", and everyone running Windows has as well.
I'm talking about ignorant users, who are about 99+% of the user base. Sysadmins excluded you say, but who are the primary posters on those threads where something has gone wrong and the solution is to uninstall KBXXXXXX? Oh, maybe sysadmins. Because that's the population who notices a pattern in 10 or 100 or 100k installs going badly.
As many idiots as there are posting here, I just want to state for the record that I less than three your post. "a bit of paperwork... hire a CPA" sounds like a lot of time to me.
Oh, you forsaw and forreplied to my reply with the old "classic high deductible catastrophic policy" crap? Do you realize how much of my paycheck goes to insurance? Do you know how much of my employer's contribution goes towards insurance?
You probably don't. But you probably get paid for it. If you don't know, you really should find out. And if you aren't paid for it, you really should re-negotiate.
I don't care how much it costs. I care whether you get paid above rate to compensate for your employer not contributing. Because that's life for a 1099.
Insurance you don't use means that you have not factored the future into account. I do wish you that healthy life you are imagining, but it probably won't happen. Just statistics. I had a $128k med insurance bill, and I paid less than $2k out of pocket. I didn't need insurance before that, but I did need it at that time. Or maybe you and your wife make bank and can afford that.
I was asymptomatic prior to incurring that bill. Maybe you are asymptomatic as well.
"contractors most certainly do not simply take vacation when they want. "
You don't just say "This week is off limits, I have something scheduled?" Assuming that's well ahead of time, of course, not the day before a week off. I work with 1099s who do exactly that. You can't just decide Monday morning that you're going to take a week off, but you can schedule it at your own pleasure, which if we translate, means whenever you want. If you have a contract that specifies otherwise, you are sucking the syphilitic cock of an unholy form of government.
I *EARN* vacation every paycheck. My vacation time on my pay stub goes up every time I get paid, and I'm a normal non-1099 salaried person. It didn't start at 40 or 80 or 120 or whatever, it started at 0 and I earn more every week. I have worked for companies where I get the agreed upon amount on 1 January, but it is not a legal requirement.
I work with a 1099 who earns more than me, in take home pay. That covers the cost of a paid vacation, insurance, and other things. Taking vacation for a week means not having a paycheck to cover that week, but that should have been factored in during salary negotiations.
I'm not sure if you are a 1099, a disgruntled 1099, or completely ignorant. I'm not a 1099, but I can assure you that there was no troll, unless it was you. And you will have to forgive me for responding to you, except that trolls don't do that, so ignore that I did if you are actually a troll. As you probably will regardless, based on your comments.
Yes, this. The part I found the most disturbing was:
"Maybe since we in the IT industry tend to be well paid, nobody should care, and there's no reason complain."
Me too. Grammar is important.
Also, we in the IT industry tend to be underpaid unless we actually land a job offer. Getting a retention raise or accepting is irrelevant, it's the fact that we can be misclassified in our job title and vastly underpaid.
Wait, "misclassified" sounds familiar. Should I care?
OP is not asking "What are my options to stop it?" - that should be directed to the lawyer he has already retained. Asking that here will get the response "Ask a lawyer".
OP is asking what we think. I think I'm going to have a really nice shit in a few hours after what I just ate. I also think I don't understand
"These contractors are expected to be on site full-time, are not allowed to use their own hardware or software, and are managed alongside, and perform substantially the same work as other, regular employees."
I get "none of the benefits or protections of regular employees", but they are usually paid more to compensate (as in we pay you the money we would pay towards insurance and other costs you pay for yourself). But I don't know what state is involved, so I can't define "Misclassification" and neither can the rest of us.
I think I'm going to die in 35 years of natural causes, and I have a coworker who is cute but I would not want to date him/her. I think a lot of things. I could go on for hours, and it would be relevant because the scope of the question has not been restricted enough.
Comparing a pre robotic world to a post robotic one?
I understand your point generally, and agree. But, even if we take every hour spent doing work, and replace it with an hour, or more, programming or repairing robots, some people will be out of work due to lack of trainability. There will be no job they can do. Because they are on the wrong side of the bell curve.
The summary said entry level and some mid level jobs are being replaced, and mid and upper have more work. So how do I bypass a low or entry level job and get to the expanding workload?
The stats show we are replacing workers with robot managers. That's obvious just in the summary.
Where do these people find a job?
I'm all for the robotic economy, but this horseshit is self serving, myopic tripe. I would argue that your dregs don't have a place in the robotic economy, but these stats argue it for me.
The difference is the conclusion. Apparently It's not going to cause problems, but it very fucking well will. Either we kill them before age 10, or we commit to supporting them with welfare. No argument about net hours will get the stupid hired.
I sound demeaning, but you can replace everything with P.C. versions in your head. Anti tax, anti welfare people are going to cause the same problems as pro slavery, pro segregation, anti women voting, and anti gay marriage have caused, all added and then multiplied. Poverty, and related problems, on an unreal scale.
Are you saying that "systemd" means many different things?
Because that seems to be its first problem, and one that should be easy to correct in the next month or so. A minor change will bring on a publicity firestorm, so do it right the first time.
Putting the onus on people who read the same word in multiple contexts to learn more, seems like too much to expect at this point. It's obviously not working, and there are more reasons, but that seems to be a sticking point.
Overloading can be confusing. We know this from C++, and lots of other places, but apparently haven't learned it. Or rather, I have, but lots of people haven't. Q.E.D.
We can trust Wikipedia, the Encyclopedia that Any Dumbass Can Edit, or we can have yet another Ask Linus where 100 idiots ask whether telling a fucking idiot she/he's a fucking idiot is wrong and a nincompoop of tards try to get Linus on record as saying whatever they like or don't.
I'm picking on you, Brave Named One, because picking on AC is just too easy. AC who claims to be native and quotes EN Wikipedia is just, I don't know, a bulging fuckhat full of cumdumpster food. You, on the other hand, have a complete lack of relevant credentials to be ridiculed. So here we find ourselves.
I love to give open source a hard time, because most of its advocates (who are generally not contributors, but rather evangelists) are blind to the bad sides.
But, pretty much anything Linux is rock-solid and quite user friendly since my brother sent me a CD in 1997 or so. If I didn't have a penchant for certain aspects of Windows, and a strong muscle memory for short-cuts (which I realize can be customized, but I also made a previous point), I would have no reason to use anything other than Linux.
And I say that knowing that there are problems with some major Desktop Environments and some minor annoyances with other window managers.
I have several Live CDs available in case I need to resolve a Windows issue. And it works, every time.
I have experience since 2002 with 4 different Fortune 150 or less businesses, and not once seen anything like this.
I *have* seen people saying "I'm too busy" and working exactly 40 hours, but you can't justify hiring more people when you are getting 90% of the work done in 40 hours. Maybe if you have more than 10 people to cover a single role, but even large companies tend towards smaller teams, perhaps with more managers than are necessary. So you generally don't have enough work to justify a new hire.
I also know people who worked at other Fortune 500 or less companies, at least 10 with enough detail to be sure that they have not seen anything like what you describe.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I do think you're in the wrong job market if you think this is bullshit.
Someone else delivers more value or growth, that's a problem with either your skill set or their desire to burn out. And I would not want to hire someone who looks like they will be a burnout in 5 years.
Go job hunting now, and get out of whatever network you are in, because you sound trapped by your own ignorance.
Before some armchair asshat brands you as bipolar, consider that depression is a natural result of effectively burning out the anxiety receptors/generators.
Too much stress, and you either lack the stress hormone generation, or you are desensitized to its effects.
Untreated anxiety results in depression. For some, that means a trip to the doc for some meds. For others, it means time to do something exciting, like start a new company.
Serial startups may be self medication. It may seem like you are coping well, but it may be a coping mechanism to make up for things you are missing.
At some point, and it may not be you in particular, but many in the same position will have something give out. Physical or mental health or something else, it doesn't matter. Basically anyone living in a first world country (by any definition) already has an abnormal life, and living on the edge is really just taking an extra chance. I suspect there is no real "issue" here other than people deciding that "toughing it out" is somehow "being true to yourself". The normal stressors of modern living plus the added stress of putting your life on the line, basically, eventually put people like you at higher risk.
If you wear sun screen, watch your diet, or in any fashion try to look after your physical body, but neglect your mental health, it seems you are willing to accept an abnormal life as normal, when it's not. To individuals, yes, but to humans in general not in any sense normal.
It is caused by poorly written programs that run as admin and write to the registry each time they run. So you run the app 200 days a year and it creates 200 forks of the registry that need to launch in parallel at startup:-)
I'm concerned about your mental health. This doesn't make any sense, doesn't map to any files on my drive, nor any performance traces, nor really anything in the real world. Seek help.
"IT is there to help people do whatever it is you do, not the other way around."
That's how you see it, not how IT, nor Management, nor lots of other orgs see it. WMIPRSRV and SCCM kick off a 5 o'clock because that's "close of business". It makes getting out of the office late difficult because:
1) WMIPRSRV and SCCM use a lot of disk I/O 2) Windows NT kernel sucks at heavy I/O 3) I'm trying to finish something quickly when the computer is slower than normal 4) It is close of business, and you should have finished what you were doing
#1 is a design decision. #2 is architectural. #3 is situational. #4 is management deciding when business hours are, and IT deciding that "after business hours" is when heavy I/O operations should run, especially if they have to have staff present "just in case" and would prefer not to have staff later than necessary.
IT's support role is just, in other words, a small part of the decision chain.
Oh, that's right up the "entitled bitch" category.
Investors can buy into an IPO, supporting a business, or they can by shares on the secondary market, call themselves "investors" or "contributors to the GDP", and be worth exactly what I crapped into the toilet.
Investing money in a business is a dead end, given the highs of the market. Some bubble is about to burst, and you have to be lucky or an insider to profit.
Did you ever study History, specifically the Renaissance period? Because Patreon is exactly that, but distributed so that numerous non-rich people can support a worthy artist.
I guess you're just an ignorant idiot. Many work their asses off to suck money from the economy for the benefit of no one. Investors occasionally invest in an IPO, but more frequently engage in after-market trading, which benefits no one but either the IPO investors, or themselves, or most likely both.
Surely you know how an IPO, stock market, and investments in general work?
"In the 5-4 ruling, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority with the four liberal justices. Each of the four conservative justices wrote their own dissent"
"But in a 5-4 ruling, the court held that the 14th Amendment requires states to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples and to recognize such marriages performed in other states. "
That's never happened before. Please, elucidate. Partisan? I read the dissenting opinions, and the joinings. Have you? Have you thought about what you read?
"Particularly I'm wondering if he has any interest in Rust or Go, since they are actually targeting themselves at lower levels."
Context is a thing, and it should be understood. Having Rust or Go as an option in a distro is completely go-ahead (not for me, but for distro maintainers).
I understood the "lower levels" aspect to apply to 1) Linus as a programmer 2) Linus as a kernel maintainer 3) lower levels as kind of a thing where performance, binary compatibility perchance, and 3) fuck you
Goddammit you ignorant retard, didn't you read my entire post before replying? Of course not, because this is DashSlot where retards convene.
Because the very next sentence was "Oh, guess not." It was sarcasm. I'm sure you can find a translation of what that word means in your native language, but it means you didn't understand me at all, and if you had read further, you might have understood, unless you were a FUCKING RETARDED PIECE OF SHIT,
Or maybe you just overlooked something, which I have done, and will not fault you for. But mostly the above, unless you are a decent person, and then I hope you learned something.
So... at some point we won't understand that newspeak is newspeak?
Look, most of these idiots on DashSlot can't comprehend that the first two words of their post have already been addressed by the first two words of The Fucking Article. First hit will be "Supreme Commander" but you will find more if you look at my posts.
Do you think there will be no platform to object to Newspeak? Do you think Dice will just shut down this quasi-profitable cesspool? Okay, the last one is basically a business plan, but the first question is in play.
Still, we must âoetrust, but verify.â We need to ensure that Charter will not lose its way after taking over Time Warner and becoming four times larger. Thatâ(TM)s where merger commitments come in. In its legal application filed today with the FCC, Charter makes its case that the merger will benefit the public, and offers several legally enforceable commitments.
Do you take drugs that are illegal in a lot of countries?
In fact, in the end, I personally wrote the commitments. For the first time, Iâ(TM)d like to lay out what those commitments are and why I think they is so strong... Charter is accepting almost all of the orderâ"the bright line rules and interconnection mandates. (We will get to the âoegeneral conduct rule,â where Charter is accepting a variation.)
Go argue about the variation, but your tin foil hat wearing ass is going to have to actually read The Fucking Article and post something legitimate in response. Otherwise, you deserve to be modded to oblivion and shot in the tits and/or balls. I'm guessing tits. But be specific, or fuck off back to Retardistan.

I'm sure you can find a translation of what that word means in your native language, but it means you didn't understand me at all, and if you had read further, you might have understood, unless you were a FUCKING RETARDED PIECE OF SHIT,

Go argue about the variation, but your tin foil hat wearing ass is going to have to actually read The Fucking Article and post something legitimate in response.

You seem to have accidentally hit the "coming across as a bit " key on your keyboard, the "-y" key, and the " in this story" key.
Your keyboard looks mighty strange from over here.
