first, a disclaimer: i work at my local circuit city, and yes i do actually know a few things so dont throw me in the bin with that nimrod that cant remember when the next 2pac album is supposed to come out or with the blond chick trying to sell you $50 monster cables for your $79 dvd player just becuase they told her to.
the fact of the matter is this: Each position in the company (at least salesstaff related position) has a begining hourly rate and a "cap" on how much you can get paid. what corporate did is they scoured teh databases & found everyone that was making $0.51 OVER the hourly wage cap, and fired them. plain and simple,
they chalk it up to saving the company money, this year they claim it will save them $20 million, next year it will be around $30 million. 4 or so years ago they stopped commision sales. why? the top sellers were making more money than the manager & the managers bitched (while depositing their bonus check for making budget, that only managers get, not sales staff.)
One thing that pisses me off is that we lost 5 guys in our store that is already short staffed, one of whom was John J. someone who has worked at the store for over 6 years in the TV department, and Tim V. who was a a warehouse guy for over 6.
John consistantly made budget, getting the attachments & extended service plans almost all the time (dude, the service plan is worth it on a projection tv, those bulbs COST!)
it just pisses me off to so many degrees you cant tell. the REASON John was making over 51Cents over the wage cap for his sales position is BECAUSE he was there when they stopped paying commision, and he was such a good saleman that they ended up matching his average bi-weekly commisions to his new only-hourly check, not to mention the 6-month performance reviews in which you can get up to a $0.50 raise (most get like a quarter or 15 cent.)
what they shoulda done is fire the fucking managers that gave them the raises that broke the hourly wage cap in the first place, since they are complaining about them getting paid to much to be the most experienced sales people there.
so i say fuck ccity as a company because they are shady when it comes to the employees, they want to fire the best people they have just because they make too much? then why the FUCK did you give them the raise in the first palce?!?! the idea is to clear out the highest paid, replace them with ignorant people that the rest of the already short handed sales staff have to train, not to mention all the up-and-coming customer service issues due to newbies promising one thing and only being able to actually do half of it.
i would fucking quit right now if i diddnt have a newborn & the fact that im leaving for the navy in a couple months anyways.
P.S. if any of you higher ups read this & can figure out who i am: go ahead, fire me, i'll burn the damn building down just for principal. lets see how much money that'll save ya when $1mil+ of merch goes up in flames... im not called violent.ed for nuffin y'know
YES if it comes to having to deal with low level instructions when it comes to real-time computing it is good to know. I personally beleive that the latest generation, 5 yrs and younger, will be studying such things as AJAX's grandchildren, that when it comes to actually creating a NEW system, if they do not have plug & play, if they dont have a clue how the hardware actually talks to the processor, then they just wont know wtf to do.
Sure, if you want to work with operating systems or things like games where performance is critical, then knowing assembly will make you a better developer even if you don't end up using it.
So that explains why Vista home Premium runs like crap on a 1.6GHz core 2 duo. (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5200, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950)
Flame Retardant Notice: Current Lead PC Tech at my local CCity, MSCE, CCNA, A+, no i dont know assembly, or even Fortran, but c'mon! (specs taken from Toshiba Satellite A135-S4467, which i work with daily) I like Toshiba A Lot, but 1GB of ram and decent specs for a consumer grade PC and its STILL SLOW!?!?! Give me XP with good antispyware any day, not like im going to see a linux installation come across my desk from the hands of the type of people that buy a emachine instead of building their own.
I hate to reply to myself, but i had another thought: What about all that vendor provided Trial/Annoyance ware? Why not include a TRIAL version of windows! lets say... 90 Days worth! Why Not? I mean Microsoft is so kind to give out 60 day trial versions of Office! Something as fundamental and usefull as a trial of Windows should be included shouldnt it?
If Microsoft Office has to be paid for seperatley, why isn't Microsoft Windows treated the same way? If i want Office on my PC past a trial period (depending on the vendor of course) why the hell dont i have to deal with a trial version of Windows? If i WANT WINDOWS THAT DAMN MUCH why cant i be bugged about REGISTERING FOR $99?!?! Screw "Validating" that its "Genuine", why not just make the people that want it pay for it after-the-fact?
if you think about it, it wouldnt make good busniess sense to MS, it would actually put in people's faces that "Hey if i wan to continue to use WindowsXP/Vista, i have to open my pocket book AGAIN and pay ANOTHER $100 (a lot of people do see past the whole $99.99 crap, i work at circuitcity, i KNOW this, and for those that dont: ITS STILL ANOTHER $99!)
If they were given the choice to either pay another $99 for Windows during/at the end of their "Trial Period" they MIGHT just start looking into OTHER (not neccesarily FREE) operating systems.
Either way, it would satisfy the EU and M$ wouldnt have to hear all the bitching about a M$ Tax anymore. Its not a TAX if you CHOOSE to pay it.
You miss where the argument is going. It is not that they dont NEED an OS like a BigMac needs a container & a bag for neccesary sanitary purposes & transportation to a designated consumption location, and they are not pushing for Linux to be pre-installed as a secondary option. It is the fact that we are FORCE FED a proprietary peice of software & Forced to PAY for it if we wish to even purchase, much less USE, their product.
That is basically the point. Why be forced to pay the good ol' Microsoft Tax just to decline the EULA (given the fact that you even boot the damn thing up) and never use the software?
Oh BTW, the version of windows that HP (and many other companies) bundles with their desktops CAN ONLY BE INSTALLED/USED on HP SYSTEMS! So forget about saying "Oh i wont use windows, so therefore my licence key is still valid for someone else's (non HP) system, lets go sell my key on EBAY FOR $50! WHy Not?? I Paid for it! I can SELL IT!"
* Maybe i want to tinker with trying to run MacOSX built for a PowerPC on my new Core2Duo, as futile as it may be, I WONT USE F!@#$%& WINDOWS!
I will burn a karma point or two just to compliment your post.
Thank You. You just expressed the exact mentality behind the 2nd ammendment. If they want to take our guns away by vetoing or altering any part of the 2nd ammendment as it is understood, and has been understood for hundreds of years, then we have every right, nay, the DUTY to forcefully remove such tyrants/traitors from office. By forcefully I do not neccesarily mean by the usage of firepower, but if the failure of our existing legal avenues of recourse results to that, then so be it. . .... BUT, lets wait a few days so my application to buy a rifle from Wal-Mart gets approved before the war starts please.
The problem with the "plaintiff pays" model is that even with entirely legitimate complaints, hardly anyone would be able to risk suing a company with deep pockets.
If the marked comma is separating two complete but related sentences, replace the comma with a semicolon. If the second half of your sentence begins with "then," add "and" before "then." In this case, use a comma to separate the two groups of words.
Just as an aside, you might also want to consider that your complaints about "illiterate people from the streets" would carry more weight if you used complete sentences, correct punctuation, and proper capitalization.
I for one do NOT welcome my vote altering diebold overlords.
if i could i would demand that my vote be on paper and paper only. Altho after watching this flic^H^H^H^HFine piece of cinematography, i seriously doubt that would even make a difference.
If "the masses" hate CLI, why do they use Google? That involves formulating queries, typing them in. Why didn't they prefer the old Yahoo Directory way of picking from a menu of choices?
Because Google is an intuitive interface, you go to google.com and you are presented with a logo & a text box begging to be filled with what you are looking for.
For example: If i am looking for a way to make pipe bomb (no i am NOT a terrorist, i just want this comment to show up somewhere in a CIA/FBI/NSA database) and the 3rd and 4th paragraph of the 2nd link (a wikipedia article is the 1st link, thank you wikipedia) read as followed:
Get a section of metal water pipe, about 1/2 inch around and 6 inches long.
Get two metal caps that are sized to fit that pipe. These are easily
acquired in most hardware stores. For a larger pipe bomb, try old
compressed gas cylinders, or propane cylinders. The idea is to get a
nice secure rigid container.
Drill a hole, about 1/16 inch in diameter, in the center of the pipe.
Eventually, this is where the fuse will go. For now, put some tape
over that hole so that your chemicals don't leak out.
THAT is why people who are not use to a CLI like Google. As for the Yahoo *click*and*click*and*click*and*click*and*click*and *click* interface lost. too much clicking and not a singled-out site about exactly what you were looking for.
hear hear! burn karma or not but THIS HAS GOT TO BE the MOST important post in this entire thread! MOD UP or be innacuratley voted out of having mod points for the next 4 years.
One of the reasons i didn't use my mod points this last time around was because i haven't seen a post quite as intelligent as this one. You, my friend, have earned my own personal +5 ThatsWhatLifeWasLike_AndShouldBeNow
I still have friends that work at Dominos/Pizza Hut just so they can get a check and bring home free food (if you call pizza real food, then you must still be in college) just because of the fact that if you mention something like a five cheese ziti (thank you olive garden) they go "wtf is that?"
When you can actually make Lasagne from scratch (Stoufers is great, but not like Grand'ma use to make) or hell even a decent vegtable soup... practically anything more than boiling noodles & adding sauce, or putting 2 or 3 things between a couple slices of bread, then you can say you can at least COOK SOMETHING. and no my friends, putting a ham in the oven with a honey mustard glaze then slapping it between some bread is NOT cooking, even if you at least dont burn the ham.
won't try to define cooking, just go to your grandma's house for a family dinner. THAT is cooking (as long as your grandma dosnt order takeout and say it's hers).
Some of the best moments of my life came from around a dining room table, even the first time i ever saw that lil bird that tips over to "take a drink" every few seconds (the one with the red fluid in it.. if you know what its called i'll go out & buy one). Your Children NEED that kind of memory, a home cooked meal with the family is one of the MOST IMPORTANT memories any child can have.
Dinner is the great equalizer as far as im concerned. Three people (mom, dad, son/daughter) sitting together, sharing grace, then doing one of the most basic thing, eating food, and sharing open thoughts between eachother can be just as bonding as playing catch in your back yard or.. yeah i just thought of this: Tea Time! with your young daughter, the ladies have it right so young, Tea Time, a time for drinking (eating) is just such a basic joyfull time for a young lady, it just simply implies a time of conversation. a time of bonding. things that many people today take so much for granted it's sickening.
Legalize marijuana and watch that number drop sharply.
Actually put people to death that are on death row and that number will drop even sharper. (at least the ones that we KNOW did it, not just the ones where there was even still questionable evidence)
Using execution figures from Amnesty International here's the story:
1. USA - 300 million people - 60 executions per year = 20 per 100 million
2. Vietnam - 80 million people - 60 executions per year = 75 per 100 million people
3. Iran - 70 million people - 160 executions per year = 230 per 100 million people
4. China - 1.3 billion people - 3,500 executions per year = 270 per 100 million
5. Saudi Arabia - 25 million people - 80 executions per year = 320 per 100 million
6. Singapore - 4 million people - 30 executions per year = 750 per 100 million people
China sentenced at least 3,152 people to death and executed more than 1,876 during 1997, Amnesty International said today as it released its annual death penalty log. ( People's Republic of China: the death penalty in 1997 AI Index: ASA 17/28/98; Death Penalty log: January to December 1997 AI Index ASA 17/32/98 )
. (from amnesty international)
In China - the country that accounts for around 80% of all executions - a person can be sentenced and executed for as many as 68 crimes, including non-violent crimes such as tax fraud, embezzlement and drug offences. 1,770 executions were reportedly carried out in China during 2005. However, a Chinese legal expert was recently quoted as stating the true figure for executions is more like 8,000. There were 60 executions in the USA. (from amnesty international)
So yeah, we have more people in jail than a lot of people, expecially China, because we actually give them a chance to live in jail.
Exactly, let's insert naked pictures into Jack's press release & then sue him for publishing pornographic material that is freely available to children without any safeguards, cause thats exactly what hes to tiffed about. Someone else changed the skins around so boobies could be seen.
Altho it is not a true word. try this on google: define:relatedley (notice the extra e at the end)
This is the result I got:

No definitions were found for relatedley.
As far as i know, "Relatedly" is not part of our current english dictionary (as far as google & Mirriam Webster is concerned) but take a look at the newest entries to our local linguistics that just might become so commonplace it WILL be a valid play during your local scrabble game... you might find them a h00t:):
multislacking (verb) : To do more than one thing that does not require much thought or energy at one time.
Kim was multislacking because she was eating chips, watching TV, and playing a game on her laptop computer all at the same time.
You need to infer that you, as the geek of the family, will also spread the word to entirely avoid purchasing D-Link products in the future to all those who ask advice on network hardware.

Circuit City, will be directing as many people as I can away from D-Link related gear to put in my own lil 2cents. As for this poor guys strife... EFF!!

Besides, even if the phone makers add such a feature, how much will the phone corp. charge you to use it;)
(of course, that may also be related to the fact that Courier does a lot more than just deliver mail.)
