How about "we would have published on the PSP, but Sony spent so much time dicking around with homebrew devs that they never got around to fixing bugs/adding supporting APIs/etc."
If they're demanding DRM-free games, what do they have to offer in return for this demand being granted? Why should anyone listen to such a demand, let alone consider it?
How about actually buying the game? Life is to short to waste time fighting with nanny software for stuff you already own.
If my employer makes what seems to me to be an improper requirement for employment (such as paying for my own certs), then I'm free to pick up and find greener pastures elsewhere.
And your next job then asks you why you have so many short jobs.
My code does compile and run the first time. It only runs as expected once it's been verified to produce the right output. That often takes as long as the original code.
That's because ball bearings are built for longer life; they tend to be loud and annoying after a short while due to the point contact on the bearings. Sleeve bearings don't last as long, but the contact area is larger, so the noise is lower. When I went looking on the silent pc sites, sleeve bearing fans ruled the roost.
What the hell are you talking about? Womens' brains aren't 10% more social with a large overlap to men, with men being 10% more direct. Men and women are different, they tend towards different goals, different social structures, etc. and this has been demonstrated repeatedly.
Well too bad - the discussion wasn't restricted to physical strength, and shifting the discussion like that is duplicitous: we're talking about gender differences, and physical strength isn't terribly relevant to that in the context of IT.
It appears that, in addition to that mess, the sort of nasty pit you describe actively thwarts getting shit done: even if they did hire one of those people, they'd get fuck all out of it.
And how often is this proven? First order logic works for abstract stuff with absolutes, while the real world is all muddy. Fact of the matter is that finding DNA that matches to someone is, by itself, crap evidence. I think that DNA analysis will suffer quite a bit once the FBI's assertions about uniqueness get thrown out.

You'll never use statistics but you will need to use calculus every day.
Statistics is great for figuring out when you're being lied to, so go ahead and learn it or prepare for a lifetime of being easily manipulated with real-sounding BS.
Ok, in all honesty, IBM won't be worth pissing on in 20 years - they're done. As Billy said, IBM is run by accountants, so don't really expect anything new out of them.
Answer me this: how many people can actually account for their time on a given night? I mean in a way that will stand up in court - if you're out with a small group of people all night, that works, but if you went to a show by yourself or decided to go wander around on the beach, maybe not so much.
Sure, that's right now. It won't last and you know it. The stat I heard from a previous employer was that the median cost to hire a good software dev is around $12k. This means that if you were to hire then as a paid intern for about $4k+2k of benefits, having half come back as employees would cost justify the program relative to the normal process. Of course, the numbers don't quite work out, but the idea is not to make money, but to fill a social obligation - how else do you expect to get skilled workers?
Good for IBM. In 20 years, when they can't find any experienced workers in the US (because they're too cheap to invest in people), I'll gladly piss in their eye.
By the same logic, women deserve to get raped because they wear skimpy clothing.
No, they're fucking stupid to walk down a dark alley in a micromini all alone, just like imposing insane conditions on germany at versailles was. Maybe deserve is the wrong word, but the looming disaster is entirely predictable and avoidable.

I'm surprised this isn't a standard clause in the USA as well, because it solves most of the issues in this area.
It was when I got some tuition reimbursed at my last job. The terms were shorter - 6 months - but an evening MS is way cheaper than an MBA.
If you're having an emergency (like getting cleaned out), maybe you can defer most of your online stuff?

Sue them? And how exactly do you expect to maintain a business relationship?

And when some random article says average, they usually mean mean. It's best to assume it's whatever screws you the most, though.
funny, there's already locate if you want a preindexed list of files on the system. Still, if you want it once, find is great.
Maybe they are going into a better paying industry.

Or maybe they are running away from an industry that considers jokes like that acceptable.
Or maybe they find stripclubs less degrading as a work environment. Also, you don't have to worry about paying back student loans.

So tell us, oh great badger, what your solution would be.

It's a lot easier to check for unpaid workers than make sure that the unpaid workers are really interns.

So it's a no-go on MSSQL for that Microsoft contract your company just got?
Maybe he doesn't work for a whorehouse, er I mean body shop?
And good luck on that no severance pay thing. "I'd fire anyone in my organization who suggested we callously disregard labor laws like that." :)
He's probably in the US, so firing someone on the spot for having a tacky tie is legal.
yeah, everybody knows they call themselves /b/tards
