He right. I did the slave hours until I noticed that guys working 8-5 got as much love as I got. I finally said "screw it" and stood up to them. It didn't cost me anything. Now I work 7-5 and that's it. I can get it done so they can just relax.

The best method I have found is to blow air on the heat sink from outside the box while sucking that same air out of the box as quickly as possible. That requires a tight seal on the box(and fans) and some quiet fans doing the blowing and sucking. Hmmm...Sounds more like a brothel than a PC case.
CPU fans tend to be the loudest but experimenting with cones over the fans can quiet them somewhat. But you have to keep air moving around in the box. If you have it done right, you can thump the box and dust will blow out of the outtake fan.
A bunch of people paid millions to make an establishment mouthpiece to celebrate the Clinton years. It was born to lose. It was cross between the Washington Post and the National Enquirer. What as the point? How much do you need to spend just to nod when Clinton says "I didn't have whoopy with that nekkid girl right thar".
They went from being Clinton cheerleaders to Bush boobirds. Oh, there's a novel idea. Who would have thought of that?

He looked pretty and knew how to smile at the right people. He was at the office late and on weekends doing nothing but being there. He was a "fluffy". All fluff and no substance. A management plush toy.
When we got called in for problems, he would insist on coming in and patting our hands while we worked. Boy howdy, that was sure helpful. But he could always say he was there.
Programming skills and management skills are mutually-exclusive. I've always found project managers to be hired as programmers who were later found to be lousy programmers. I remember working with one guy who was hired because of a great resume. His first words when he came in the door were "I'm really not technical". He became a project manager because, although he wasn't technical, he gave great face.
A project manager is basically a eunuch acting as a catcher in a shitball game.
These internet parlors are rooms with lots of people and computers. Imagine a hole-in-the-wall pub with cheap drinks operating without a license. We called those bars "drink and pray's" because you drank cheap beer and prayed the building didn't catch fire. These internet parlors are the same type of thing. Being illegal meant they keep semi-hidden which generally means a lack of safety features.
The fact they could be closed down so quickly means they operated with the government turning a blind eye. I'm sure officials were NOT receiving bribes to ignore them. That never happens.
You spend millions to come up with a new technology to thwart people who can bust it in about two days for free. Meanwhile, you find your largely untested scheme causes Macs to freak and die. Then you end up in court in a class action suit.
The best way to learn is to have someone dump a PHP system on you before they leave. You learn quickly when people start hauling out promises that were never delivered or scream about devastating problems they ignored a month ago.
You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy. From this day on, your loyalty will always be in question.
Bull. I suppose companies cancel layoffs because they value loyalty. In fact, accepting the counter shows you are loyal because you are staying with the company.
But I never accept counters. If I leave, it is rarely over money. More money won't fix the problems in a bad situation.
It'll be forever before we have such a lovely thing in the US, with our collective allergy to mass transit...
We don't even carpool. I can't see how mass transit will ever take hold outside crowded urban areas. Offer tax incentives for mass transit and more people will do it. If a round-trip ticket to DC was $20, I might consider it.
If you can't code, get a piece of paper that says you can.
For some reason, the only "certified" people I know are incompetent. I figured they needed a piece of paper to impress someone because they lack the skills necessary to beef up the resume.
Rather like the programmer we hired who suddenly blurted that he really wasn't "technical". Holy smokes!! What good is THAT!? We made him a Project Manager which is basically like playing catcher behind the plate at a Shitball game.

I had a friend who joined AOL and called the next day to cancel his account. They put the screws to him and he got a lower monhtly rate.
I asked him "Why did you want to quit right after joining?" and he said "I didn't. I wanted to see if I could get a lower rate".

China doesn't pay for software. For all intents and purposes, MS has done the same thing. They just don't know it.
I work for the state. It's a lot of work but state workers get a LOT of time off. I generally accumulate more leave than I can use. I'm looking at 4 weeks of unused leave this year.
Instead of going off-site, try and recruit currently working programmers to chew up their leave at YOUR office. You generally only need warm bodies in copious amounts at certain phases of the cycle. You can hire three or four warm bodies to hammer code for 60-70 hours a week for a few weeks and complete much of the base code. Your in-house staff should be able to do the rest.
During live coverage of a Scud attack, one of the Patriots veered sharply to the left and hit an insurance office. The cause was said to be an error due to a time leak. The longer the Patriots were "online", the more leakage occured.
He's my Congressman but I never voted for him. He's OK. Very pro-gun and good on internet issues. He was asked to lead the Clinton defense in the Senate and shot it down because he had to do his laundry. That said a lot about the guy.
I would vote for him if he didn't CREAM his opponents every year. Running against this guy is an invitation to lose.

Its called "bait and switch" and that is illegal
Not really. Bait and Switch is when a company advertises a product they don't have and then switch the consumer to another product. Your example was more like false advertising.
This was most likely a mistake since it didn't sound like they tried to pawn another product on anyone.
I don't know what I would do without the ability to make up my own child porn. I was practically suffocating under the weight of oppression before the Supreme Court saved from being crushed. Lady Liberty has been saved from the dustbin once again.
