IBM is currently doing an assessment of our company and giving recommendations of what we should change, keep etc.. They have told us we should have at a minimum %40 of development in house (go up from %20) and %60 offshore (down from %80) but ideally it should be 50/50. Hmm sounds like they need to take their own advice and change themselves internally to 50/50 at the ideal....
When I worked at Cabela's, the IS/IT team I was on got a new manager, the first thing he did was call us all into his office and say "Your job here is to make me look good!". It all went down hill from there! This guy went out of his way to screw over his own people for his own gain - in fact he would work in conjunction with another manager in IS/IT to screw his people over. He would act like he wanted to be your best friend and then stab you in the back as soon as he saw an opening. One of the people on his team was working on their bachelor's degree. This guy actually offered to let him "borrow" any of the papers he wrote for his degree to use. Thankfully that individual was smart enough to know A) that was plagiarism B) The manager would "out him" and screw him over quickly - and the individual nicely told him "no thanks". Our team had a higher turnover rate than the Call Center - which is an amazing feat in itself. When I left all that was left were the H1B's and a couple "old timers" with the company. All the -real- talent left and went onto bigger and better things - including myself.
Have a couple of drinks and get a good buzz (not drunk), and all brain lock goes away! When at home I code at my best with a good buzz - one highball glass of Crown Royal with ice always does the trick! Who needs pot or LSD - legal stuff works great.
Voted about 7pm. I didn't vote for ANY democrats of republicans. Voted for libertarians if available. If only democrat and/or republican as choices I used the "write in" and put in things like "Bozo the clown" "Mr. Ed" etc.. No I didn't wast my vote - I'm one of the 46%!.
Infowars.com and prisonplanet.com have been writing articles about this VERY thing for years folks. Took the stupid mainstream media outlets long enough to admit it!! Why do you think police departments are moving to take your DNA at every turn, why do you think the push for sending in your DNA for genetic testing, for Genetic genealogy etc.... Of course they are gathering up as much DNA as they can - then they can create DNA specific bio weapons to "kill you".
what you have to say - but I'll fight to the death for your RIGHT to say it. The 1st Amendment specifically says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
" or abridging the freedom of speech"
Tell me WHERE it says what is or is not FREE SPEECH! Sorry but if I want to say death to all radical musleums I can (I bet the republicans will love this) - my FIRST AMENDMENT rights guarantee i.t I can say Allah is a homosexual child molester too! (it may not be politically correct but so what - I can still say it!) If the UN and the radical musleums don't like it they can go FUCK THEMSELVES - see how I have the freedom to say that too!
Sorry but as soon as you take away one persons right to free speech - it becomes a slippery slope to take away EVERYONE'S right to free speech. We must remember in the United States we have FREE SPEECH - those radical islamic countries do not - that is their problem not ours. If they want free speech let them fight for it! How many countries don't because they are controlled by communistic dictators, or radical nut jobs.
Gee it is now common knowledge that the U.S. LET Pearl Harbor happen... Thank you Dusko Popov for exposing that in your book "Spy Counter Spy". And more and more proof is coming out about how 9/11 was also a false flag, just like the Gulf of Tolkien, lets not forget Oklahoma City, just like the nasty things outlined in "Operation Northwoods" - no tinfoil hat needed here - the facts are all out in the open and available for all to read. If this happens - we will know the government did it... Heck remember when they said "what we need is another pearl harbor event..." - hmmm what happened - OH YEAH 9/11! Now they are saying it again - keep your eyes open - they are about to do something really nasty to you - AGAIN!
I've stuck with V3.6.x. I don't like the UI of the 4.x and newer versions and I don't like the route mozilla is going. If there was another browser that supported all the developer plugins FF has I would be dumping FF. Time to get the source for FF3.6 and modify it to tell sites it's the newer version even if it isn't. Mozilla's "rapid" outdating is just a little much. Newer isn't always better.... I don't want to go back to IE!
Everyone here knows Microsoft is notorious for POOR security. Only allowing 16 character passwords now is not a surprise to me. But I couldn't believe how insecure they really could get until I started working on a project with my company to integrate Microsoft's Dynamic CRM (in the cloud) to a new application we are building. I was APPALLED to learn the ONLY way Microsoft will let you do "secure" web service calls from CRM is using HTTP Basic Auth (over HTTPS if you wish - oh gee how nice of them). They are even unable to do WSSecurity - in fact they don't support it. Gee how many people here couldn't rip apart Basic Auth and get the username/password? I'm sure very few couldn't. Now if you host Microsoft's CRM "in house" you can do more to secure your web service calls - but host it in the cloud and your screwed!
quit watching their shows, quit buying the DVD's, Blu-Ray's, quit going to their movies.l The ONLY thing the copyright holders/media companies understand is $$$$$$$. I disconnected my cable TV with Charter years ago. I have only gone to ONE movie in the theaters in the last 5 years (and that was only for an outing with friends). I haven't purchased a CD/DVD in years, I have refused to upgrade to Blu-Ray - unnecessary. All the DVD's I do own are good enough. I don't need to see the inside of a persons sweat glad on their face. If I want to listen to a CD or watch a DVD I go to my local Library - they have quite a large enough collection. Besides just about all the new music sounds like cr@p, the new movies are either poor remakes or are just plain cr@ppy movies. I only watch a little TV and that comes in over their air. The big media companies only understand $$$$ - take that away from them and what do they have? If enough people just stopped buying what they are selling you could send them into a tailspin. Of course they would just blame it on piracy again. But if no one even pirated their stuff what kind of argument would they have then?
Now that's a good thought. I'll present that idea to my manager and try that route. If you have a seasoned developer - if they know a couple languages - they can learn another....
This has been going on since the early 90's. I remember a guy from the local labor department telling me about this. He even showed me the EXACT job adds that were posted that were SPECIFICALLY for "disqualifying" American IT folks. He told me they will post the job requirement based on a SPECIFIC H1-B's resume, skills, experience etc... almost guaranteeing they won't find a comparable American worker. IF an American DOES apply they find something else to disqualify them for. It's all a scam to drive down wages and sell out this country...
There are shortages in some areas of the country. For instance in Wisconsin there is a severe shortage of skilled Java developers. I know my company has been looking for 3-4 senior level Java developers and that is just the start. We have had to resort to interviewing people who are right out of college and having to accept it will take them 1-2 years to get "up to speed". I know a couple people we interviewed claimed to have all kinds of Java experience on their resume, but when interviewed they knew about as much as the kids right out of college or less. Right now we are having to use about 75 developers across 3 continents for a huge project we are working on. Why all over the globe. Simple we truly can't find skilled Java developers in the state. We are looking outside the state - but the company won't pay for relocation so that hurts trying to get people in from other states but many won't come to Wisconsin, or won't come if there is no relocation involved. I think if unemployed IT folks -REALLY- want a job - they need to start looking in places they may not have thought about before. Also make big pushes for telecommuting. I know our CIO came to the realization that telecommuting for some positions in IT is doable. So they are working out how they will handle it. They realize that not -all- developers -have- to be "on site". Heck they are using folks in India - so that proves it.
What a piece of cr@pola! All I can say is I HATE Office 2010 - I hate that god awful ribbon bar. I can't find ANYTHING with it. Outlook (in the cloud) is like a Yo-Yo - It's up, it's down, it's up, it's down. And MS Lync - please! It's just a rolled over version of MS Communicator.
China takes a flying F@#$ off a cliff. isn't this the pot calling the kettle black! We should tell China to go to hell. We should put tariffs in place for any and ALL goods coming FROM China into the U.S.. That might level the playing field with their blatant currency manipulations.
I was in a very similar situation - I was BORED with coding - I was stuck in a hole where I wasn't allowed to get out of it. The management sucked big green monkey nuts, the company made your life more and more of a hell. So I said "screw you" - didn't take me long to find another job. And I ENJOY coding again. The company is great - they treat the employees very well, they don't shove you in a hole to rot. Just beef up your resume, send it out - and get the hell out of where your at. Just remember "Something else is always something better".
Is he "radical" and "crazy" because he wants the government to ABIDE by our Constitution? If that is "radical" and "crazy" - then I'm just as "radical" and "crazy". I take the Constitution and Bill of Rights VERY seriously! OUR government does not they piss all over it at every chance they get. And that goes for BOTH parties - Democrat AND Republican! It obvious that our politicians and even some "crazies" in the media think the Constitution is a joke.
"The constitution is just a goddamn peace of paper!" – G.W. Bush
"I don't care about the Constitution!" - Bill O'Reilly, November 17, 2009
Both these "crazy" people should just get up and leave the country if they don't like it - and so should anyone else that doesn't like it. They can go to a more suitable place then - say like North Korea, or China or Venezuala.
"This story is a growing concern for Apple, particularly now that Senator Al Franken (PDF) and Rep. Ed Markey (PDF) have both written letters to Steve Jobs demanding details about the location tracking."
These senators are even STUPIDER than I thought. Congress mandated this kind of stuff in the Telecommunications Act of 1996! Who the hell are they kidding! They OBVIOUSLY didn't read the law they passed - not unusual for are brain dead congress people!
EVERYONE should read the Grace Commission report - the Government PUBLICLY ADMITTED that 100% of income tax collected goes to paying the INTEREST on the national debt! Them now trying to tell us anything is is pure BS lies - surprise the government lying to us YET again.

Except that Gardisil is KILLING girls that take it. In fact Australia BANNED the drug after it killed more than 30 girls in a short period of time. Kind of like Bayer getting caught shipping AIDS infected Factor VIII to Africa. These drug companies are part of a EUGENICS operation. They working with some top elites want to KILL YOU and your families! They want to get the world population down to 500 million or less. Heck go read the Georgia Guide Stones to see that.
