I didn't think not authenticating with FB was enough. That is, even if I don't stay logged into Facebook, they can still query my cookie(s) and correlate it with my FB identity, right?
My sister works for a bank, and attended a vendor presentation about software that monitors IVR calls. They found that they got good results when listening for two keys phrases before transferring people directly to a Retention Specialist operator: "ridiculous" and "bullshit."
Naturally, I now answer "agent" to every prompt and then switch to "this is ridiculous bullshit" after a couple of tries.
There are a lot of casinos in the area; perhaps they drew upon the local expertise (for which read "hired away") to get the skills they need. Just a guess.
Don't know your blood type? If you're reasonably healthy then go donate blood, and it will be automatically serotyped -- along with tests for a ton of other things. Also, free juice & cookies (and Guinness, at least when I donated in London twenty years ago!).

Especially if they come from Stone Hill. It's a pretty enough campus -- the Sheep Meadow is especially nice -- but I didn't realize they were producing corporate titans out there in Easton, Mass.
My former neighbor Rob is an engineer working on LED commercial fixtures for Philips and this is their main problem: if they make a good product, it eventually kills their market!
"Voluntary, compensated and not a long-term thing" you say? So, then, not like this guy whose blog as a Katrina-stranded sysadmin was so absorbing...but possibly required reading for.uk admins who might get this gig.

Well, there is one other reason: a school can pick a better product but then BB buys the competition. Ask everyone who selected Angel over Blackboard.:7(
Hah, we're cleverer than you would imagine, here in Little Rhodey! Why do you think they're pushing for a runway expansion at the airport, Mister Smarty Pants?
The game's own rules say not to bury a cache. The web page where you add a cache to the database also reminds you that you are to have obtained sufficient permissions to hide the cache, though it's clear that many hiders never do so.
How about for the Mac Book I use at work, but where I use my own Apple ID? I think corporate Macs would *have* to have some non-AppStore method for getting Lion.
It was written, "Maintaining an farm of mail servers for what is a relatively low volume of correspondence doesn't make much sense. "
Allow me to offer a new alternative: search your corporate soul and decide whether the email you're sending is really that important.
I got one of these notices from my CC company, and it made me really mad when I thought about how I have *never* received an email from them that wasn't an attempt to sell a balance transfer or other undesired service. Ugh.
The IT staff at B.C. (disclosure: my alma mater) is very clueful. For example, I was up there two weeks ago for a regional higher-ed event called Security Camp that they hosted, and their speaker was as current and savvy as the other speakers (who included a Senior Auditor from UMass, a guy from Harvard, and someone from Children's Hospital).
I have no doubt that they redacted the page because, as was pointed out, the language was awkward -- and not because they "got caught" doing something.
The "Exalogic Elastic Compute Cloud" sounds more like something from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to me. Is that how he defeats the Vermicious Knids in the second book?
As an English major at Boston College I had to buy the professor's book on poetry. (As if I couldn't find classic poems in English elsewhere?) He was a fixture on campus, but I found him a bit of a blowhard.
It was a required course, too, so there was no way you were going to escape buying it: Ha-Ha:7(

Best Slashdot comment I've read in weeks; I shed real tears of laughter.
How about a locking room where people can put their bicycles if they either ride to work, or want to ride at lunch (and leave their bike overnight).

Too bad there's no "+1, Infuriating But True" rating that I could have used my Mod Points on.

So tell me, what's the Cockney rhyming slang for "Enhance...enhance...enhance..."?

Well, I didn't get a new number, but my wife got a pretty convincing phish about ten days ago. *sigh* Citi, I hates you.

OK, that hurt.

"It's an ad!"
Longer version: the author describes a problem and then -- wonder of wonders! -- is selling something.

As a Minnesotan I used to take some joy in making fun of Canadians, but I have to apologize here & now, and tell you how much that impresses me.

(Cue raucous applause, pounding on tables, wolf whistles, and shouts of "bravo!" and "huzzah!")
Even more to the point: those Cape Codders let the big Deer Island sewage digesters go up within sight of downtown Boston, but not a few lovely windmills? What hypocrites.

Say, there's wind turbines there, too!
