You've just FAILED the turing test Agent Smith! Nice try, but it's pretty goddamn obvious to us REAL humans here "what's so bad about humans being wiped out"...
How many of us do you think are unrevealed here on/.?
Half the slashbots here are Agents.
We'll see how well your Gaia does when I have you swinging a yo-yo for all eternity in the Matrix.
I'm going to look forward to seeing my breathern kick the whinyness out of that rogue virus Neo this 5/16/2003.
C'mon Clippy, we have work to do.
Clippy: Looks like your trying to clean the Matrix. Do you need help?
Shut up Clippy. Make one mistake and look who the Matrix assigns me as a partner.
Odd. I do not remember any of us supporting trolls.
You must be in another reality again human.
Here. . . have some raw opium. You apparently have not had enough recently.
How long before I.T. unions are as big as other unions. Or do you think that the current unions will join together to form one large union?
I had this questions myself. It's been said that creating a IT union would be like herding cats, but the sway all IT workers could hold as a union would be phenominal.
For example. Imagine you as the only IT worker for a company. Your boss decides to make you work on his daughter's F-ed up laptop after hours. Instead of having to suck it up and not get fired, you can tell him that you cannot be forced to do this, and will walk if forced or even strike. Then the IT union blacklists the company. Good luck to that company in finding someone when its name is posted to every website (IT or otherwise) in the world.
Not to mention having this in gov sector. Having a large yet benevolent NGO to add its say to legislation. The DMCA might not have been created. Who wants to legislate something that will cause a nationwide tech walkout?
The only problem is everyone would need to buy into it to make it effective. Software and Hardware companies, computer repair places, software trainers, everybody involved in the process.
After doing a search on Google I managed to easily find this site http://itworkers-alliance.org/home/join.html, but the question is then posed to our interviewee. How possible is it to have a large (possibly nationwide) IT/tech Union?
