thanks for an intelligent post regarding autism. i was really starting to see again why i am more or less done with/. and hardly ever visit. never such a group of self centered keyboard commandos...
Not my company. Every year I get striped of more and more benefits. My insurance premium goes up and it's coverage goes down. Raises seem to get smaller and bonuses are smaller if they happen at all.
Try having a "real" job (ie not tech related)! I work as a car mechanic... we get no respect unless a friends car is acting up, hazardous working environment (chemicals), 1 week vacation (if I stay 15yrs I get 2 weeks!!!), no retirement (401k etc), weak health related benefits (flex), zero paid sick days, 4 paid days off all year (Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving and I think Easter), 1 bereavement day etc etc etc. Quit your bitching, enjoy your comfy chair and go back to work.;)
Considering the low-cost, high-quality talent pool that Bangalore offers, it is unclear why Apple decided to shut shop just over a month after it commenced operations.
The person that wrote this has never dealt with Indian tech support I take it.
All they really did was validate you wanting to leave. Giving 2 weeks notice in writing through the proper channels (as you say you did) is enough. If they are not preofessional enough to deal with it; fine. You did nothing wrong.
my sister and her husband moved from west to east for a company making silly decisions like this. 3 horrible years later... he is working elsewhere (for a much larger company) making a lot more money. they both say that if they could do it again, they wouldn't.
discussion threads like this are why i avoid/. nowadays... a bunch of "purists" bitching about how some plugin they don't like, and probably only ever used back in the pre-1.0 days, is being used at the site in question. at least the brits are willing to put information of this caliber online. i thank them for it, and so should you.
if i could get a 1.5ghz with 64mb VRAM mac mini i would... but not on the chance of 1.42ghz (whoopty-do) with 32mb VRAM (damnit) shipping instead. i never was very good at the casino...
Old ipodders are getting the jitters to replace their 5 and 10 gb models and will probably be happy with these devices are they are used to not having their entire collection on the road with them.
I gotta call BS on this one dude. I have a 10GB iPod and all I can think about it is getting a nice iPod Photo so I can have all my data backed up onto it (my iBook has a 60GB hdd).
*sighs*
I hate being poor at the moment... so many toys I want...:-/
1 motorcycle 1 wallet w/ cash and credit card(s) 1 backpack 2 days worth of clothes 1 pair extra shoes 1 digital camera 1 map of the country time
ride off the middle of nowhere, camp under the stars, snap a few pics, get lost, find yourself and return home when ready. nothinig like a good soul cleansing from time to time.

Considering how cheap you basic Dell box is; I would have to say that Windows is almost free, or at least not worth much.
I am both a Mac user (g3 iBook) and a PC user (dude, I got a Dell).

It is rather weak, but out there.
How many other unknown files ship on an iPod? OS X is not perfect nor inpenetrable...

not everyone wants or has a computer and an internet connection. the portability of cd's is very nice for the average internet challenged consumer.
Just nothing the heat down 4degF made a different in my heating bill (nat. gas) of almost 8%. Not bad. (now set at 64F)
fedora core 4 running on my p3 500mhz with 192mb ram (ibm thinkpad 600x) is much slower (gnome) than win98 was. :/
I just saw the trailer for Evolution; talk about killing the visual artistry of the 1st film. Ouch!
By "round" I suppose you meant spherical?
I go blast some clay pigeons with a 12ga. (and 20ga.) every Christmas week. =)
so explain american movies for the last 20 years or so. i mean come on now, it is just getting ridiculous.

i have been saying it for years. and now, yet another example.
To make a pint of Ben & Jerry's as profitable, they'd have to charge $20 for it. Who's going to pay that?
my ex-girlfriend... one lazy chick she was
look into asia.... china... ;-)
i bought a mac because of os x, not because my ibook has a g3 inside...
Steel crates are all the rage in... well... everywhere but the USA. No fumigation certs to deal with. ;-)
