I received an email a couple of weeks ago detailing how we are going to migrate everything to SAP (so it might be worse, I wouldn't know).
Oh shit, now you're really fucked. I mean barbed-wire-wrapped-baseball-bat-in-the-ass fucked.
I have had more exposure to SAP installs/systems than I ever cared to, and in each and every case the whole thing was a tremendous clusterfuck from start to...well, I would say "finish", but a SAP project is never finished. NEVER. It's never completed and so the money flows steadily out the door like a river...forever.
Run like the wind, brother. Run and don't look back.
It's fascinating how ALL the responses to my post are by anonymous cowards. I think you maggots have proved my point- self-proclaimed Nazis are worthless shitbags who deserve a bullet in the head and nothing more.
Instead of being racist and casting a negative light on all, or excuse me a vast majority of, Indian coders how about you take a step back and think about why that kind of culture is allowed to perpetuate in the first place.
Instead of assuming my comments were driven by racism, how about you step back and think about why you would jump to that conclusion. I would make similar comments about any group of developers that exhibited such traits, and I have indeed seen them across all races and genders.
But to be blunt, based on my experience and what I've personally observed in the last 20+ years or so, many of the Indian coders in the dev teams that I've been a part of are not good coders. It's not confined to any one race or sub-group. IT'S BASED ON WHAT I'VE SEEN, not any nebulous dislike of some group or race or whatever. It may not be politically correct, but it is what I have seen and experienced.
Just stop it, Youtube, stop fucking with our shit in the hopes of squeezing another nickel out of the users somehow.
Youtube has gone to shit with their rules about what you can play and when. It's 2018- we can send a man to the Moon and put metal in a microwave, but I can't play a fucking video with my tablet cover closed?
I assume you mean by "guy" you mean an "Indian guy."
I wish I could disagree, but I can't.
Sadly, the vast majority of Indian coders I've worked with are dreadful. ZERO initiative, sloppy coding, virtually no insight into possible usage issues or corner cases, and their documentation, needless to say, is either nonexistent or completely incomprehensible.
Not all of them, but I'd say 90% of them are as useless as a Reggae band at a Klan rally.
Are you seriously trying to claim that because Andrew Jackson was a shit back in the early 1800s that that somehow absolves Trump of behaving according to the law?
The claim (by Donald Trump and others) is that Hillary Clinton approved a deal giving a Russian company named "Rosatom" 20 percent of our uranium.
But that's not true. The Clinton State Department had no power to veto or approve the Rosatom transaction, AKA "Uranium One". It could do neither. Here’s how it does work.
Uranium One is the name of a South Africa-based mining company.
Back in 2007 it merged with "Urasia Energy" based in Canada. And in 2010 the mining arm of the Russian nuclear agency Rosatom, bought controlling interest in the company. Among other places, that mining company had operations in Wyoming that amounted to what the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions or the NRC said was at the time was about 20% uranium production capacity in the U.S.
By law, when a foreign company wants to buy ANYTHING with potential national security implications, an interagency committee of the federal government must approve it. The committee was given a broad mandate under President Reagan to advise the president on foreign investment transactions.
That committee is called CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States). It includes nine department heads. The Secretary of the Treasury is the chair person. The rest are the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, Commerce, Defense, State and Energy, plus the Office of U.S. Trade Representative, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy. That’s CFIUS. The nine department heads all approved the sale of Uranium One.
It was unanimous - not a Hillary Clinton approval.
Also, the State Department wasn't even represented by Hillary Clinton at CIFUS. The Assistant Secretary of State, Jose Fernando, represented the State Department on CFIUS, not Hillary Clinton. And Jose Fernando stated that Clinton never intervened.
Further, neither Secretary Clinton nor the committee as a whole could stop any deal of this kind, even if they wanted to.
The committee members evaluate the sale of anything potentially related to national security.
By law, if just one member objects, the president and only the president can veto such a transaction. No committee member of the nine objected.
The whole "Uranium One" accusation is predicated on the charge that "Secretary Clinton approved the sale". She did not, and more to the point, she couldn't because the as Secretary of State, she didn't have the power to do that.
This whole "Clinton gave away our uranium" thing is just plain bullshit.
Go ahead, think whatever you like. Don't take my word for it. These are the facts and you can verify all of them by spending a minute or two on Google.
Yes, it's a piece of shit, but look how shiny it is!
Yeah, sorry but no way would buy one of these. It has several fatal flaws (weight, price, built-in malware, etc) but the real killer for me is the fact that it's a Microsoft product. That means it comes with a whole host of unwanted 'features', starting with the OS.
Looks like it would make an awesome cutting board, though.
Lol, same here. Yes, I'm an old guy, happily married, and I shudder at the thought of going back into the dating pool these days. I'd fuckin' hate it and I'd probably just not participate.
Dating seems much, much shallower and more commoditized now, but that may just be my perspective.
The enormous expansion in potential mates brought about by apps like Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, etc has actually worked against the people that use them- they're buried in way, way too many choices.
The mechanics of using the app wipes away the perceived "value" of a person...because there are another 500 or 1000 or 50,000 possible partners just a swipe away.
For example, he or she seems perfect but doesn't message you back in 5 seconds? Hi ho, discard them like a used tissue and you're off to click on the next one.
Dating has been reduced to the level of a crappy video game. It seems very sad to me.
I find this whole thing to be very sad and disheartening. If I wasn't already happily married I'd probably stay the hell away from online dating, since 99% seems to be bogus.
Paid shills wasting your time by dangling a possible relationship in front of you for weeks or months? Sad and hurtful. Death to them for the misery they cause.
Same here...currently using a Galaxy S5 Active. It does everything I need (and a lot of stuff I don't need). It was $199 on Amazon, has a replaceable battery ($15) and a headphone jack. Decent cases for it are in the $7 or $8 dollar range, unlike $35+ for an iPhone 6/7.
I don't see any reason to buy a more expensive phone.
Anyone who assisted Janssen and Pharmacyclics in jacking up the price should be exterminated. Marketers, executive staff, etc etc., they should all be executed for their inimical, profit-driven actions.

And that's exactly what should happen to Nazis. It should be open season on them all year long with no bag limit.

This was not a "bug", this was just craptastic coding by some jackass developer.
You're welcome.

Yes. Try to keep up.

show me *one* digital source device with any of the sex appeal of a Nakamichi Dragon...
You've apparently confused "sex appeal" with "being nerd-shunned by women".

Well said, I feel the same way. My feelings toward 99.99999% of all social media can be summed up as, "No thank you."
