  1. Re:Don't be late on Are You On Time To Work? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well Flaimbait, I've worked for assholes like this before. They're usually the neurotic type that have cat's instead of kids. (No offense cat people.) But here, in the real world, people have lives. Lives that involve other people know as 'family.' Some people even consider this 'family' to be more important than their 'job.' So the next time you decide to call and leave 13 messages on the answering machine Mr. Lumbergh, telling us that work starts at 7:30, remember, we just don't care. I could continue mocking you, but you probably think too much of yourself already.

    Maybe if they played what we wanted to hear on the radio (@#$% you Clear Channel), we'd be less inclined to get it off of P2P.

    I'd tend to think that part of the reason Linux is secure is that the average 'computer user', not 'Linux user', is too lost to screw things up.

    Could be worse. I work with people who can't conjugate verbs, use the wrong 'to' and just can't speak English. They send countless internal documents based on previous mail messages where they cut and paste the same piss-poor spelling and grammar.
    Example:
    Would you have someone from your team to look for part number XXXXXXX?

    They make ol' fygments (sic) look like a Pulitzer.

  10. Targeting the Government? on SCO Targets US Government, TiVo · · Score: 1

    The article was a little light on SCO's dealings with the federal government. But still, if and when they do, it'll be like kicking a cop because you left your door unlocked and your car got broken into.

  12. This is easy. on On Employees Educating Employers? · · Score: 1

    First, document your method. Demonstrate how it is an improvement over the exisiting or soon to be implemented. Include an implementation plan. Present it to someone involved. Don't force feed it to them. Just ask if they wouldn't mind taking a look at your idea. At this point it's out of your hands. If a decision is made to go with your idea, don't drop the ball and let someone else put it in place. If your idea is not chosen, get over it.

  13. Re:Why does attendance matter? on Predicting H.S. Dropouts With Pervasive Databases · · Score: 1

    I hated college. I felt it was a waste of my time and money, so I quit. I don't have a salaried office position, and I don't want one. Some people detest the idea of sitting in a box for eight to ten hours a day, wearing a stuffy suit or some other corporate 'gear'. Just like some don't like to mow their own lawn or work on their own vehicle. It's a matter of taste. Honestly, I think many people put too much stock in their 'career'. Their goals in life are to drive a fast new car, wear expensive gaudy clothes, add a long acronym to the front of their name and make fun of those who chose differently. What happened to the goal of being happy? Raising kids? Being a functional person with what you have? Before you assume too much about me, I have 28 years let on my mortgage. And it's brick, not a double-wide. And what's more important, I am happy.

    I recall reading somewhere that animatter is what matter would be but traveling the oposite direction in time. Hell, what do I know? I count boxes for a living.

    But when MTV is hell bent on making all words synonymous with 'off the hook', how is that advancement or modernization of the language? I give more credence to Ebonics than those shinny, shallow, paper thin frat boys working on the next 'thing.'

    What I do find mildly ironic and this guy doesn't point out is that people actually get a cigarette break. Keep in mind, I said mildly. Best I can figure, no company is required to furnish a smoking area for those that choose to. But to then give them a cancer, er cigarette break?
    And what about the people who are suprised to find they'll die soon for smoking for thirty years? Who'd a thunk it?

  25. Re:Oh, sweet irony on Isn't It Ironic? · · Score: 1

    No, it just illustrates how much we mistrust ourselves and the universe. This underscores the idea that it is ironic that people can't see the obvious and continue to proclaim it like some new-found gem of knowledge. Honestly, how many posts get moded insightful for stating the obvious?
