You know...whenever they get some hair brained idea, all they need to do is leak it, then watch slashdot to see if they're going to have a leg to stand on with it....
Couldn't they authenticate the first time, then just tic off the amount until the end of the month and charge you per that amount? (if any) Seems that even a weekly draw would be better than every single time....
"I never graduated college, but still clawed my way through the industry by saying "I can do it" to virtually everyone who asked a skill of me."
A comma after the word "saying" would be correct.
By the way, there is no such word as prenegotiated. And "job hopping" is hyphenated.
*sigh* Rejecting their counteroffer strokes your ego and makes YOU feel tougher. Get over yourself. There are legitimate reasons for a counteroffer. And what the hell do I care how a company feels if I don't want to work for them anymore? This isn't Sega Bass Fishing..... "oooh...there goes another one...damn..."
P.S. Maybe if you just post all of your achievements and certifications in your journal we can look at them there so you don't have to put them in every post.....We really are thrilled that you set up 50 NT servers by hand, rather than the old method, by foot.....
Even as a "Semi"-Anti-Microsoft, I looked at that and was like "Ok, can we troll a little bit more? It's not like....well....errr"
Yeah, I guess it has happened before. I think the only way we benefit is if as a group they set down lines that can't be crossed. That is a significant number of companies and that does hold some punching power even against Microsoft if they don't comply.
I'm really not sure what you're talking about or what it has to do with poaching, but you really ought to look up "Amature guided torpedo" in google.... lets just hope that's not what you're talking about....heh
Yeah, I wish I'd have known this before we moved in a month ago. They can't even setup our modem to give us more than one IP. Same questions, over, and over, and over... "Well, let's just try releasing the ip address just in case..ok?" "?...I oughta..." After 2 weeks of only one IP we gave up and ordered DSL and it'll be turned on tomorrow. You'd think that they would KNOW that we have this problem still and call us back to help us. (we called no less than 12 times over 3 days...) Several times the "fixes" would take 24 hours to go through the system??? (hence the "they should have called us back...") Channels are ok. Movie channels aren't all that. I can't wait to move out of here in 11 months and setup the satellite dish again....(for tv that is...)
A perfect example of this is when you first play a game and stumble across a baddie. Your imagination of what this thing is going to do to you is usually 500 times worse than what he actually does to you.
"there aren't many open-source 3-D game out there"
You are right, but as with Ogre and Crystalspace, both are just coming around and getting to their version one. I think once these get around a little bit and more engines start popping up that people don't have to pay a license for, or code their own whole engine, we'll start seeing more open source games.
*shrug*
Italy's money isn't going to Portugal, so that's a moot point yes? Italy's money goes to Italy, so then we find the best way to spend it there....yes?
Apparently not....my apologies... somehow my view of the situation was that you were responding to the original comment about the dumping of bodies of the bridge. Sorry about that man.....
*takes another sip of Spaten*
: )?
Heh...thanks for the tip on the sig.. ; )
Point taken. I've been all over northern Italy, Rome and Naples and have only been to Sicily maybe twice, but it sounds right. I'm not sure I quite meant that there was no way that they were worse off. The point I was trying to make is that even on the mainland poverty situations are bad and that if it's even the same on Sicily, then I'm not sure the money shouldn't be spent another way....
I'm going to go out on a limb here...and I can hear it cracking. A racial stereotype is supposed to be against a whole race, yes? If we are selecting the Sicilians, they aren't really their own race.. and I can take it from the joke (or not) that by dumping bodies, that one would ASSUME that we're discussing the sicilian mafia (is this not obvious to everyone else??) since it's always been the premier mafia in the world. (or at least the most well known, yes?) So, what are we looking at now? Sicilians in the mafia...(no, they're NOT their own race...) and an inference (yes, an obvious one) that the most well known mafia in the world might use it to dump bodies off of. Now how does that become a racial stereotype? How is something even stereotypical when it's something that you normally do? What, if they bury a body occassionally it becomes a stereotype because they don't dump EVERY body off the bridge?
"As long as people talk this bad of Italy"
It's considered a joke, and not without merit. Having grown up in Naples and seen the Comorra first hand, I can't see any reason why someone would not comment/joke about the crime rate. We had a hit in our back yard for crying out loud. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE Italy, but I am not going to call it something it's not. "See Naples and Die" was created back in the 60's and still stands today.
I don't know. I lived on the mainland for years and we were told not to drink the well water because of arsenic. Now we were around Naples, but this situation wasn't just in our location. Remember here that there are other Italian islands as well. I don't think that Sicily is any worse off than anyone else, and maybe not any worse off than anyone on the mainland. I'd have to think that the money could be better spent 1000 different ways, although it would be pretty cool to have a bridge over the gap.
If the mere threat of an accident stopped an Italian from driving the way they do, then the world would collapse on itself. Remember that they drive the same way on the Amalfi coast as well. (think of all the cliffs in the james bond movies) The bridge is nothing.....

You look worse once they find out that you knew but didn't tell anyone...

"This statement cannot be overstated enough."
Which one? You mean, "Very carefully posting AC"?
"I never graduated college, but still clawed my way through the industry by saying "I can do it" to virtually everyone who asked a skill of me."

Maybe we could get the best technical support team from all the 200 companies to answer the phone!!

Yeah, that's great until someone misses a deadline and you get fired for it.... While that's great for BOFH, it's hardly practical....
I think you're going to starve. I've yet to hear of a mobile phone running IIS. Good luck with the food thing...
I'm really not sure what you're talking about or what it has to do with poaching, but you really ought to look up "Amature guided torpedo" in google.... lets just hope that's not what you're talking about....heh
Why do I just have this odd feeling that there aren't a whole lot of poachers that hack?

Ahhh... I see now. I haven't been there since the European Union... Thanks for clearing it up.

*sihg* ; P
I think this just clears up the fact that any kind of bridge between two Italian regions probably isn't a good idea... ; )
"Sorry, 4.9 million is small, especially compared to a country." See, it's funny cause it's not a country...

See...this would be all fine as long as he kept the password locked away in his will so that in the event of his death.... you get the picture...
