We use Jira at work as well. However, my company likes to switch at least once a year and doesn't provide any training on the new product. We have used in order e-mail, SharePoint, Bugzilla, Net Office, and now Jira. The QA people use Jira 8 hours a day and the look of shock on their faces was priceless when I told them that I don't have Jira up constantly in my browser just watching for work to come in. I have 16 hours a day of work to do without looking at Jira. I have it set up to send me tasks when they come in, and e-mail is how I truly organize my own tasks. If I don't get an e-mail I don't work on it. At the moment, I get about 20 Jira tasks per day, most of which would take about an hour to fix. I have a backlog of 70 Jira tasks. A few weeks ago, I gave up trying to keep up and just started shunting all of my Jira tasks to an e-mail folder called "Pending Tasks" where it sits with 3 year old Netoffice tasks (I never actually was told what my login for Netoffice was) and 4 year old Bugzilla tasks that I still haven't gotten to. I refuse to work more than 16 hours a day, and the company is getting slammed by work but won't hire any more people, so most of those tasks just sit there gathering dust, and I spend all my time just pissing on the hottest fires.
The Cuban government granted ordinary citizens the right to buy cellphones just last year; they are used mostly for texting, because a 15-minute phone conversation would eat up a day's wages.
Ironically, in order to get the same information as a 15 minute phone conversation takes 2 hours when texting, and eats up 3 days wages.
Well, that's the point. At my current salary, I had disposable income. This was about 4 years ago. The cars were not NEW cars. They were both about 20 years old, but they were NICE old cars. One had been $65k brand new, and the other about $30k brand new. However, due to the inflation which the government says we are not having, I no longer have disposable income, despite making the same salary, and now I have to sell off what I do have in order to make ends meet.
And we've had deflation since March.
Lies, lies and more lies. My salary remains the same, my standard of living has gone down, I spend no money on luxuries, yet I am increasingly having trouble making ends meet. Why? Because the cost of things that you have to have or have to pay: basic necessities like food, utilities, insurance and gas and taxes keeps going up by 10-20% per year. Yet the government says we are having deflation. I detect the odor of feces of a bovine variety.
This year, I had to sell two cars. Okay, maybe that flies in the face of the luxury items I previously mentioned, but I purchased those cars outright with cash while making the same salary I am right now, yet somehow with supposedly no inflation, now I have to sell them just to get by.
But whatever funds were used to purchase Imeem don't just get to sit in the pocket of the owners of the company. All of that money is supposed to be used to pay down whatever debts there may be. I'm not sure where the musicians sit in the rank of debts to pay down, but hopefully they rank higher than the shareholders, which as someone pointed out below, rank pretty much dead last.
Just how do you plan on handling the overpopulation of Earth?
Back to the subject at hand... we could move everyone on Earth to California, and then every single human being would have 650 Square feet of space to call their own.
Well, if you just target the big screen TVs, it still unfairly targets the poor, because the big screen TV that they have represents a larger portion of their utility costs.
Well, people aren't very likely to stop going to work just because gas went up. You still have to go to work, and employers are not willing (for the most part) to allow telecommuting. In fact, I know of one that banned telecommuting during the peak of the gas prices. However, a lot of people go to sleep leaving their TV on, wander off for an hour while leaving it on, or leave it on while away to scare away burglars, and I could imagine that some of this behavior would stop.
Well maybe I did it wrong. I typed Java Virtual Machine Download into the search box and hit enter. It wasn't really that no results came up. It just didn't do anything at all. I tried clicking on the little search with bing button too and nothing happened. So then I type google into the url bar and searched with google.
If there is something more you have to do besides typing what you want to search for and then hitting enter or clicking the submit button, then I guess their interface needs work.
I only tried it once, because it came up as the default search on IE on the remote computer on which I was installing java virtual machine. I typed in Java virtual machine download, and true to their word, Bing did not bring me back thousands of vaguely related hits. Instead it brought me back nothing. Absolutely nothing. So, go to google website, type in my keywords, and click on the first link which came up, which was Sun's JVM download site.
Why replace something that works with something that doesn't?
get them all macs.
That seems like a great solution. After all, I know next to nothing about Macs, therefore when their Macs have problems they'll have to go to someone else to deal with it.
It now appears that the collider is hindered from an initial firing by a baguette, dropped by a passing bird: ...at an improbability level of 2 to the power of 5,086,362,826 to 1 against.
As originally touted, thin client is almost non-existent. Supposedly, you didn't even need a disk drive, it would just boot right off the network. A low-load OS would allow you to use almost all of your memory for your application. Instead, we have Windows based "dumb terminals" with 120 GB hard drives and 4 GB of memory, 2 GB of which is required by the OS.
Not only that, but they won't give you a driver's license unless you let them scan your thumbprint, which has absolutely nothing to do with driving, and everything to do with them butting into your business.
The company I work for also required a fingerprint scan and when I asked them how they were going to insure that my prints wouldn't end up in some government database somewhere, they said it was almost certain that they would.
Man, now you've made up my mind what I want playing from my electric car. The Windows error "thunk" noise, with lots of bass. That should send 'em all running.
But when you hear that, almost silent, click the door of a new car makes as it closes you get the feeling that it is a new car, and even a good car.
I was told that people consider the almost silent click of a door to be the sound of a weak door, and so sound engineers worked on a way for even small light doors to heavy a good healthy "chunk" when you close them.
They may not be able to figure out how to put a fartcan muffler on it, but they'll darn sure figure out how to put a 2000 watt stereo in it. No problem hearing that coming down the road. Another benefit, is that with the neon and the stereo and the DVD and all the other crap in there, the batteries won't last long enough for it to run into you.
pretty much EVERY other industry in the world would like their products advertised for free, and if someone did that for them they certainly wouldn't sue over it.
Well, they would if you didn't license it. For example, you may notice that a Coca-Cola sweatshirt costs more than a blank sweatshirt, even though you are advertising their product for them for free. In fact, the reason that the Coca-cola sweatshirt costs more is because the manufacturer has to pay licensing fees to be allowed to print Coca-Cola on the shirt. If they did not pay the licensing fee, they would indeed get sued.
In Belgium I must go to a doctor to get a notice I am ill.
I am sure that is true at various other places around the world. It is true at my company as well. Fortunately for me they 1) don't enforce it and 2) being sick is no excuse to stop working (to my company), so it doesn't count as a sick day anyway.
I know the last thing I want to do when I am feeling sick and miserable is to get into a 2 ton vehicle and drive to the doctor. I'm sure the public would also appreciate me to stay off the road in that condition. The only time in the last 10 years that I have gone to the doctor for other than a checkup, I had some nasty stuff that pretty much had my throat closed off. I couldn't sleep because the phlegm would get in my throat and I would wake up unable to breath. I had to stay sitting upright. I honestly thought that I was going to die from whatever it was. So I called my doctor. She couldn't see me for two days. I somehow survived the two days, by sitting upright the whole time, and she did a swab for Strepp (negative) and wrote me a prescription for some pills, which I was unable to swallow due to having my throat stopped up with phlegm. I had to crush them and swallow them with water, which I could also barely swallow. The pills did nothing but aid the pharmaceutical economy.
What finally broke it up, I believe, was a combination of Mucinex and Ibuprofen. Within two hours of taking these two, the phlegm was loosening and the soreness and swelling was gone.
If we are a part of nature then it appears that the higher order life form you are, the more inhumane you are. Snakes, alligators and crocs don't play with their food. They just kill it as quickly as possible and eat it. If they don't intend to eat something, they don't provoke it, they just ignore or steer clear of it. Felines and bears, on the other hand, will sometimes torment their prey for hours after being sure they have crippled it to where it can't get away.
How about the even more simple explanation of just being distracted by the beautiful woman and imagining her naked with her legs wrapped around you is taking up all of your resources?
Well, I guess that would be the problem then. Perhaps if the men actually concentrated on having a conversation with the lady instead of trying to imagine them naked, then they would actual increase their chances of seeing her naked. I mean, come on, there is plenty of opportunity for imagining her naked later when she's not around. Plus then you don't have to worry about embarassing yourself by not being able to hold a conversation.
Can we now see the correlation between a woman's breast size and a man's I.Q.?
I guess big breasts are all the rage, but frankly, I don't see the need for anything bigger than a B. I guess evolution has led us to believe that a woman with larger breasts is more capable of feeding babies, but with our modern diets, that is not really an issue, and since many bottle feed anyway, it is even less. Sure they're fun to play with, but I don't really want a woman with too much breast.

Besides only one of them could get PIC time ;-).
I don't know about that. Does having your head up your ass count as a "view limiting device"?
Not only that, but they won't give you a driver's license unless you let them scan your thumbprint, which has absolutely nothing to do with driving, and everything to do with them butting into your business.

You can't fool me. I know what kind of technology the government has. Every time you take a sextant reading, they can tell exactly where you are.
