such new technology concepts.... that will make the boy i have hold my glasses in front of my eyes entirely redundant..... why the savings on that alone would be worth the price...even at apple prices
I have about half a dozen (more than half) of my team in India. 1 is absolutely useless, 1 is useless but it showing signs of wanting to learn, 3 do the minimum required of them and the other one is spot on.
I recently had to redo the work the useless one did. They spent 3 weeks on an application extension that just didn't work, which we found out the day before they promised the client they could have it to test. Needless to say I had to pull an all nighter so we didn't lose even more respect from the customer.
We've been forced to offshore much of our teams work from the UK to India, and as a result our name is now mud. Its now so bad that people no longer record issues for us to fix through fear it gets given to someone in India.
I've worked with teams in India since the turn of the century, its always done to reduce cost. I can't see how that even adds up. Unless you get someone who is actually really good, you often end up with people who do only as they are told. There seems to be little to no creativity, so anything out of the ordinary causes a meltdown. I'm not saying there aren't good people out there, thats not the case, its just that companies who offshore are in a race to the bottom and don't want to pay for the good ones.
I've found now that the only way to make sure my team actually understand what they are being asked is to finish all my emails to them with "unless you ask any questions, I will assume you understand this"....Its honestly like working with a preschool sometimes.
just finished watching it, about an hour ago and its not half bad as per usual theres the bit after the headline stars credits and the bit right at the very end of the credits
well i hope they fix their mail filters first....no matter how many ways i tell gmail amazon isn't spam...thats where it ends up...even mail from the wife does that...which she isn't pleased about
because google auto complete is a good way to find out actual facts.....
how about just coming up with a reasonable rebuttal to his proposal instead of a "first" flame?
i couldn't give a flying monkeys what people think of him, he is very over excitable but slamming an idea because of some psychotic hatred you seem to have about a guy you have never met and has done nothing but propose a potentially useful idea is a bit...well... childish
hang on....if its illegal speech....don't you expect it to be censored? and offensive speech is illegal in the UK, who decides if its offensive....a jury...
more outstanding work from the bbc tech idiot team

"When we started out it was $1337 which if you write it down spells out 'lite' which is hacker speak for elite. Since then we've increased the top prize to 3133.70 which spells 'elite,'" explained Rukowski.
They probably are including the cost of hardware, support and services such as bill payment in the total, not just the setup cost Without a breakdown of what that cost is for, this is all meaningless

I would have thought increasing the supply would have the effect of making people want more and thus increasing demand for the real thing....

I've only worked in open offices, only top level management get offices, ordinary managers sit with the other cattle
i think this is just an american issue.....the rest of the world seems to cope
....news for nerds, stuff that matters....
i thought the whole point of news was its newness
the wikipedia on this is much more informative though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
how did this story even get accepted?
"news for nerds" Cowboy Neil would never have let this post get up there....
now if it were
"35% of American Adults Have Debt 'In Collections' and an army of robo debt collectors are hunting them down"
I could see that
sigh

according to that site....his major sin is not being part of the "scene"
...which he did point out when he was explaining his prism theory
Its not the first time Microsoft chose a name for its games console that someone else already had.
They did it way back when with the original XBox http://slashdot.org/story/01/06/18/1331240/microsoft-gets-xbox-name
Apple did it with the iPad and the iPhone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_iPhone
...think you mean spelling nazi
for context....
the guy the joke is about has just been charged with the abduction and murder of a 5 year old girl
its criminal because theres a law saying you can't do what he did
he was charged and confessed to the crime
think that pretty much wraps up how its criminal
yes its an offence
sending malicious communications is a legal matter and has been for a very long time
he committed a criminal offence, just because you don't think he did.... doesn't mean he didn't
ignorance of the law is not a defence
hang on....if its illegal speech....don't you expect it to be censored?
and offensive speech is illegal in the UK, who decides if its offensive....a jury...
honestly their research knows no bounds
They probably are including the cost of hardware, support and services such as bill payment in the total, not just the setup cost
Without a breakdown of what that cost is for, this is all meaningless
so what they're saying is....
we don't want to let you have an 18+ rating at all and we're waiting for the results we want
why do governments seem surprised when they get results they don't want when trying force unpopular actions?
