  6. Re:They're full of crap on Remote Management and User Consequences? · · Score: 1

    We had that setup, with some wacky ass login script that would pull the smbios info from the machine and if it wasn't in the asset register then bye bye ip address...
    That worked great for them until we changed the smbios of all the systems we wanted on the network to old systems that had never been removed from the asset register... =D
    But then again our IT people are smart. They left a voice message on my cell phone when I logged a call about my cell phone being faulty.

    a) e.g. The reinstitution of the English literacy test as a way of discouraging immigrants from certain countries.

    This test is used as a way to ensure migrants have an understanding of the english language which will allow them to function effectively in an english speaking society. Without speaking a word of english it becomes very hard to do basic things, buy groceries, count out our currency, and anything else that involves speaking or listening.

  16. Re:As an Australian immigrant.. on Australian IT Workers Concerned About Migrants · · Score: 1

    It wasn't until the 70's that even eastern Europeans were able to immigrate here, and only recently has it been easier for Asians. No.. I don't think it's about Australians getting their jobs stolen.. I think it's more likely xenophobia.

    What the hell kind of tripe is this? That's pure and utter bs. Asian people have been immigrating here for decades, ala "Vietnamatta".

    1. MFC and HTML? WTF? What does that even mean? How are MFC and HTML integrated at all?
    Dear Employee,
    You will know that MFC and HTML form part of our synergy of vertically integrated products, allowing a shorter development timeframe, an empowering, scalable and future-proof across multiple client-based platforms.
    This is just the tip of the iceberg in our results driven proactive marketing plan.
    We're really pushing the envelope here, and it seems you are out of the loop. We really need you to ramp up your knowledge base, to facilitate the kind of leverage we need to monetize our best of breed product.
    If you review our vision statement, you will see that we are aiming to be the client-based, goal-setting, bleeding edge, result-driven leader in the information superhighway of the future.
    Please keep this in mind.
