Not finding CmdrTaco postings here just won't be the same (yeah ok that's the point, I guess). Thanks to you and hemos for providing nerd company over the eons, specially during the zillion all night work burnouts. Sirs, I salute you both.
Can it be that while we (the USA) strictly prohibit participation in bribes, pay-offs, and gifts to overseas customers, putting us at a big competitive disadvantage , hanging a security badge on the sale insulates our vendors from further ethical obligation? Is that it?
Don't bother asking regular Cisco employees in silicon valley. In today's employment climate, we certainly cannot expect domestic employees of our multinationals to say anything - they're all afraid of defaulting on their mortgages, at the least.
More like Guilds - and part of the reason they're eating it now is that they've been functioning like a Guild, just like the (sell out) auto and iron worker unions did. As long as their own nests were feathered, they not only didn't care about the other unions, they joined in the Republican decades long project to disenfranchise and undermine them. Where were the pilots when PATCO was trashed? Along with the mechanics, they crossed the lines.
Thanks for relating that. Interesting idea, that even if the jets had been shot down before hitting the WTC towers, we'd have gone through the same kind of things subsequently.
Telecommuting does make the importance of actual management more obvious. When they can no longer rely on the inefficient stroll-around-the-cubes 'management' technique, then the working out of work systems, schedules, and the things that managers really should be doing becomes very, very clear. I've been remote working for over a decade now myself, and I really like how it helps to clarify the bs.
Righty-o. My friend's house burned right down to the ground after a utilities crew dropped a hot wire in the weeds. And you better believe the utility company tried to get out of it.

Abrogating treaties works both ways.
Yes? Are they even still around?
"new kid on the blog" Love it!

rofl wild applause!
This sure looks like the gimzo that Pranav Mistry developed at MIT. Here's a link to the demo of same at TED, last year: http://www.ted.com/talks/pattie_maes_demos_the_sixth_sense.html
Boy howdy. That which is not expressly permitted IS NOT THEREBY FORBIDDEN.

Why the hell is the previous post modded to Flamebait?

Nice list'o'links. Thanks.
I would like to add that Windows Millennium was very much under appreciated! Thank you.
You mean, my detachable Virii?

Yep. Perhaps even (oh, heaven forfend!) publicly administered certs.
Right. And then, later, you Enter to Exit!
Yep, TalkWorks. It was either part of WinFax, or purchased and combined with it. Last I heard both were bought by Symantec, and eventually retired.
There's a bit on TalkWorks here:

690 pages of small print on geology back to almost the beginning. I recommend it highly.
grayware?
Huh. Grayware.. I figured this must be domestically branded software purchased overseas, reimported, and installed domestically.
Yep. It's a business challenge of the best type.

It's not enough that patent trolls are trying to scour up and grab all prior art on Earth?
