Its bad enough that their call center staff cant even pronounce english names correctly, or even spell names correctly "My name is BOB, not BWOB".
When will employers realise that you cannot run a company on cheap incompetent staff, its like running your 747 with 1 crew member and flying on one engine because it can just barely, not because its safe. "Look mom, I saved the company 120m dollars by hiring monkeys, in the first quarter we will project 500m more in profit". Then 18 months later its loosing 200m a month, but the CEO has left with his 8m bonus payment.
If your the mosad and a killer for the israeli secret police, then you can do what you like, brake the law, murder people and flee the country on fake passports and live like 007 but on the bad side.
Yes its true , the mosad has in the past killed innocents in Europe and often get away with it, though sometimes through thoughtlessness get caught but do little time.
For every 2000 people busted, and 50 lawyers getting richer (prix) there are another 20000 who just learn of P2p via news articles and go "screw it, ill try it, my credit card bills are maxed I cant afford to pay $8+parking+popcorn+drinks, so download it away"
How about a $200 box that is a GSM cell plugged into the ethernet network. I can then roam into it, and prevent others to roam. So then I can use my 'cell/network' to route all calls via the net or LLine. How hard could it be to make a 200feet wide area micro cell thats $200?
Greenland melting would only cause 6-7m Antarctica - 76m or something, well damn high any way, anything over 50 will be bad bad bad news for all those expensive cities.
And who knows, maybe the suns output has changed, I mean we are already getting 20% less light because of polution, so with out the pollution ironically it would have been hotter.
They could have put $13billion into Euros 12 months ago, with the dollar dropping 20% they could have made a hell lot more, but its more fun to run a company than watch a spread sheet.
But what else is IBM going to do with $13b? Make an OLED factory? they already have access to large amounts of cash, its not like they CANT FIND $13b, they can.

Foreigners now own more and more of America - - about "$8 trillion of U.S. financial assets, including 13% of all stocks and 24% of corporate bonds", according to Bridgewater Associates. According to the Federal Government Debt Report, they also own 40% of Treasury bonds & bills. Additionally, they own real estate and factories.
Even your own silly US DOLLAR is not owned by the govt, but by the federal reserver PRIVATE CORPORATION which is composed of 12 central banks, mostly foreign.
CHina buys $500billion + in US T bills which really prevents USA from going bonkers bankcrupt, so they are damn well helping out well, so whats the deal? That USA is stuck in a stale mate?
people are only poor because theres TOO MUCH money being absorbed by things like 'property markets' when that money could have been used for everything else like real assets/companies/tools/factories.
So wheres our free electricity? they wont do it, because those companies stocks will fall and lots of people get burned, they could build/install 15-20 X 1kw solar panels in every house. If they had a massive factory LockeedStyle, they could make 50000/week easy, instead of 50000 xboxs weekly. Solar panels compared to new houses cost a pittence. So some one spends 50k on a house extension or pool, but wont even lift $2000 for a few panels to supplement daily power usage? To "its easy to pay for it" attitude is going to backfire once everyone is paying 900 bills a month for every tiny service imaginable. People should get off their ass and do stuff themselves for once not be lazy. The economy isnt #1, life and well being is.
Rush loves money, hes going to die before 2015 any how, so he doesnt give a ratts ass, like many rich americans who study $29 books by other millionairs on who to be rich, all they see is the accumulation of wealth as the meaning of life and the way to achieve that is to crush every opponent there is, use every one you can, profit massively from every sucker you can find.
But the economy is a zero sum game with inflation/bank credit creation the only thing creating real GROWTH.
Maybe we need a society that has no inflation produced by credit growth/bonds etc... but have it 100% tied to population growth, ie . Give out X amount of dollers per person born, and on a monthly basis, kind of like the opposite of taxes, but give it to people out of thin air, not a real account, just like how credit is made from central banks. Ahh the never ending battle between state control/management to total individualism/self determination with zero outside influence. No one will ever win - it must be a yingyang/balance thing and have a bit of both together at the same time mixedup and used in the right situations.
Housing costs what... 250/400k for basic homes... and they cant even afford 20k worth of solar panels? do it for all homes and costs go down, but your local electricity company will be very unhappy at much lower bills and less profits, which means those Enron execs (Bushes best buddies) will get less money, so conflic of interest there.
How about a mobile that can sense your wifi,can connect to your PC and use direct PHONE->SKYPE via the mobile, and not pay a cent!!!!!
The first GENIUS ^H^H^H^H^H manager with a clue that puts this through will have a winner, but we know that cell phone networks like only features for phones that can make money , so the makers wont do it, unless someone makes a wifi+java combo that allow s3rd parties to tap into wifi voip calls.
Thats the stupid thing, 80% of the work is mundane coding/implementing stuff, which doesnt need super iq status, just enough smarts to code as per spec and nicely. The real brains are only needed in the thinktank groups, hiring too many uber egoheaded brainheads is just going to cause more boredem and people leaving if they cant make their own ideas, if any one is that good, would they really work for google? or start their startup?
yeah, they could have just got 10 CS master students and said, you do this system for us over 12 months and we will pay all your fees and give you a phd to go plus a free option for another degree.
Then again, there are older people that are more cluelessly stupid than even 8year olds who play NEOpets and know how to trade/do banking.
There are older people who utterly ripoff young ones that dont know any better, "come work for me $12/hr to make me rich" then fail to pay.
re the 60s, serial murders didnt kill 500000 people, only a tiny amount, you had a higher chance of dieing from a bus hitting you. Cuban crisis , well its just as likely today that someone else will nuke someplace, but again its all a matter of chance, and most likely if something real bad happens, then its a high chance you wont be affected at all. Like 9-11 , yeah real bad, but most people lived, and even more died on freeways (but didnt get any fancy compensation like the others).
Today, yes we are worse off in many ways, too much 'things' to need, communication costs, insurance costs, medical costs. There is more chaos today I think, but that could be just a jaded view though on the surface it looks like it.
Ask for damn more equity in startups, dont let the CEO rip everyone off and get 90% for him self, tell him he is toast and time is money, even 2-3months delay in finding someone can derail his million dollar success, so demand that extra 5% to 10%. No one is worth more than 51% ever!!!! if someone claims to be worth 90%, then tell em "ok do 90% of the work your self scum", and I bet they can't, so play hard ball.
Oh and travel, see the world (at least europe). And if you have rich parents/relatives, then your damn lucky and probably lazy.
When you make your first $100k, buy a CaymanIsland (http://www.caymanco.com/welcome.html) credit card account thats in a tax free zone and hide your money there:-) The govt creates money out of thin air, so they can create more rather than actually steal from you.
yeah but doing that doesnt deserve a $50000 raise, since any 12 year old could easily compute that logic/maths in class.
The amount of maths/logic decision trees that any programmer has to go through daily is 50x more than any CFO/been counter.
A better way is to do this;
A) Company A creates a 50million dollar investment fund, and transfers all employees homeloans to it at a reduced rate with nofees, therefore the employees save, and the company saves and makes a profit too. B) Company A makes its own credit card, again no fees, just lower rates. C) Company A creates a bulk dvd purchase system run by the employees, so all staff can buy dvds at 50% below retail cost.
There are many services that a big corporate can do which costs NOTHING and makes profits but can offer them at below market levels but only to employees. This creates extra savings for employees which then dont need pay rises because the company is helping reduce their costs.
Sure this solution isnt pro capitalism since it reduces costs/expenses and pools resources to save money like a mini commy nation, but who cares. This solution is whats worth a $50000 raise to the CFO, not some grade 6 math and simple simluation experiements in some spread sheet which any moron can do.
I think he meant that the CPI is not >= 4% officially, but in reality its more like 8-12% if you ask the average joe 6 pak on what his expenses are.
Remember, a super average of a massive area is meaningless, its just an average of all combinations which really is no one. So you have have a CPI for joe6pak, a CPI for Mr200k+ manager, and one for unemployed joe1pak.
10 years + experience and good experience too, not just stuffing around, but making real global stuff, and its still hard to get a job. The problem?
1. most jobs are.net/java web front ends to sqlserver back ends, not real high tech C++ stuff 2. the rest are oracle/dba crap 3. and the final is some manager stuff/tech support crapola 4. with 1% perhaps something interesting in C/C++ thats technical 5. with so many sub fields, its difficult to get any where unless you have the exact experience/history, which personaly makes for another bored out of his mind employee, you need someone skilled and smart but not necessarily someone who has done it before so that they arent bored shitless doing the same thing again.
WHY? because 99% of companies dont do much R&D any more, the tax reductions for R&D have dropped. Also most companies would rather just buy something from USA or ASIA rather than do any real work to make it. Very Very lazy businesses here.
Yes Australia is mainly mineral exports, food exports, financial services exports, construction, and administration. Real R&D? well 2% of GDP, most peoples attitudes are "the usa can do it better, why should we bother, its easier just to order it and get a tax expense discount"
Once everything is really really well automated and gui friendly, and super easy configurable, you'll see massive IT unemployed. Thankfully, attacks, spyware/viriss' cause enough problems to keep IT staff busy, but thats just Admin, not development.
Games market is crap too, why ask for degrees when I bet the people that started those companies have none, or had none when they started. So that market is left to just grads starting out or people with 3 years + on their belt. No new commers welcome, unless you know the startup execs personally.
And you wonder why more and more people are slipping into the underground economy of the underworld and untaxed cash world.

I just tried lynx to go to their donation form

So I hope everyone does it and makes BT see 100000x increase in LYNX usage

So everyone, fire up lynx, lets make em look even dumber.

wow thats still alot better than au
Average call centre pay = $32k AU
Avereage software = 45k-65k based on common adds
Those 70-90k ones are rare as astranaut jobs
Though here we get plumbers, cabinet fitters, which after working overtime and extra hours can earn 100k easy. So much for brains=dollars.
