Funny thing, I was going to remove an app I installed yesterday and saw new.net was loaded on my machine. Never even knew it was there. Sneaky little bastards. I even ran adaware yesterday and it did not pick it up.
exactly. What kind of person would send our military into battle with nothing but the best? Each time there is a conflict must the President meet with his peepz and strategize which weapons they were going to take into battle? Dude, you are all tards if you think otherwise.
Think about this...... Let's say there is a draft again and you are one of the unfortunate ones that is drafted. Would you want the military to send you into battle with a *BFG* or a slingshot and some pebbles? For me I would want at least 2 *BFG's*.
dude you're a tard. It is spelled missile.

An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile.

I just installed v. 9.0 of AOL just to get their agreement. Below you will find the agreement in its entirety. One thing to note..... I do not see anywhere they inform the user they have the ability to modify their os settings other than the base install. Happy Reading.

How is this a troll post? Is it not true? I applaud AOL as I do M$ for their ability to rule most of the market. Think about all the tards that currently think AOL is the best thing that has happened to the internet. Or do they believe that AOL is the internet....? We recently switched our travlers from them over to Earthlink and I think it is the best thing I could have done. I am a firm believer that AOL sucks and should be put out of its misery.! Nuf said
I have to agree to both sides. It was a huge headache when I had to reload last years Turbo Tax 2 times on a computer my boss had at home. Each time I had to contact technical support and get a new activation key. There were several calls put into them, several of the support reps had no idea what I was talking about. The horrible part was that damn case # expired shortly after which caused to me have to call them again and start over. Oooooh, so pissed me off because I could not make it to his house nor did he actually do it himself. Back to calling them again. I have already decided to have someone do mine this year (due to complications). We'll see where they are next year to determine whether or not I will use their software.
Originally we setup a system where users would have to fill out a support request form and drop it in a box for us. This became cumbersome for us because we were constantly having to check and users were having to wait. In the end, I removed the SOP we had in place for requesting support. I would prefer they all submit their requests in the same manner (via email). We do not have a person here that can field calls all day. We also run a pretty cool program called Assett Navigator by Alloy Software (alloy-software.com). It is one of the few reasonably priced solutions that will manage the entire enterprise. It was pretty painless to roll out and their inventory module is pretty cool. They also have a web interface for the roaming IT person where he can check his to-do list. Being that it runs on Access or SQL, you could write a few scripts that would give the users the ability to submit their own support calls. The manager or someone else could easily route calls between techs. Additionally, techs can escalate calls to other techs if needed.
My ideal solution is an automated one. The last thing I want to do is answer calls all day from my users.
I understand what you are saying too. I do have a mono phone that I use for talking & text messages. The nice thing about text messages is that it can be delivered late, not phone calls. How can you depend on a system that is not dependable? I expect that all my calls are going to come through to me not too look down at my phone and see 1 missed call when it did not ring. Could it be the phone? Probably, my problem is not only with missed calls but dropped calls. I can also understand each cell site can have X amount of people and if I am transferring sites and it happens to be full, tough I get dropped.
Yeah cool, bring additional features, fix what you have first and then add on. Otherwise you are going to end up Windows XP, an OS that is nearly 2+ gb to install where most of the code is patches to existing problems.
"Just because we can do something doesn't mean we have to do it," Galvin told an audience of thousands of wireless executives on Monday during his keynote address at the CTIA Wireless 2003 spring convention.
Galvin's comments run counter to what other CEOs had to say in their keynotes. Instead of stressing the voice call, most wireless companies are using the show to introduce even more complex data services such as behind-the-firewall access for mobile workers, or the ability to tap into wireless "hot spots" for high-speed Web connections, as Verizon Wireless announced Monday.
I must say that I agree with Galvin in that they need to improve upon their current service before throwing in additional features. In a way this seems to be a little like M$. Let's throw out a whole bunch of new things and fix it later. I prefer they fix what they have and make it bullet proof and then add new *stuff*. By no means am I endorsing Motorola, I do not follow them at all but I have to agree with him on this topic.
In the end we did not even need it. Spent about 2-3 weeks restoring the mail server to various points and filtering and printing emails. The emails were evidence enough. Shortly after this, we put a 5 day deletion retention on our mail server so we at least have 5 backups of any email.
A few years ago we had an employee high up in our organization that found himself in a bit of a pickle. After about a month, he resigned from the company. When he returned his laptop, we realized he had fdisk'd his computer. He did not bother to setup the new partition either. We do know there was important data on the machine but it was not worth us sending it out for examination. It is to my knowledge that we most likely could have retrieved the data a lot easier because he did not write to the disk after he f'd it all up.
Sometimes you cannot help it. The person traveled all the time and kept some of his information on the laptop. Because of legal liability, I cannot really go into details about what we needed to get and why.
What I meant to say is this..... If it turns out the execs at SCO knew their claim was fradulent and persisted to throw out false releases & lawsuits then dumped their stock because of the inflated stock price, yes, this would be a problem. I don't see how the SEC would not get involved at that point. Regardless of what my prior post states, this is basically what I meant to say. Believe me, it is nice to cash out stock options especially when you are locked in a closed period. I know first hand how bad it sucks to sit with vested stock and watch the price climb through the roof and not be able to do anything about it.
What I would be interested is seeing another round of them dumping stock. How is this not flagging anything with the SEC? It seems a bit strange to me. From what I could tell after the last "big" news, executives started dumping stock. Hmmmm, let's see how we can pin this on George Bush like we are the rest of the scandals that are hitting corporate america these days.
I too have a friend that is a recruiter. She swears by the company and their practices. They are around for the long haul. The only bad thing is they are geared towards executive placement.
Personally I am tired of getting the phone calls here at the office from the head hunters. They are filth and so are their picthes. The funny thing is that they all use the same damn line.
Hello, I am John Doe from mycompanysucksnuts and I have a lady named Jane coming out of anothercompany as a nameyourjobhere making XX amount of money. Can you use someone like her?
Where the hell did they get these lines? Then when you ask them to remove you from their call list and they don't listen, gets me all steamed. One company that comes to mind is MacArthur & Associates out of Newport Beach. I think after the fifth or sixth time I asked them to remove me they finally did. However, it took me speaking with their managers and ripping them a new one in order for it to happen. Bastards, I can't stand them. I would probably use my friend though if I ever get to an executive level.
In addition to my post above, how many different ways do I need to say no in order for them to believe me?
No
No thanks
Not interested
I'm broke
NOOOOOO
Fuck Off
WTF
Piss Off
Dumb Shit, I said no
I should not have to say no more than once, they are not my children.
I personally fail to see how it is some great inconvenience to have telemarketers calling you every so often
The problem is simply that I do not want their calls. How about this, next time they call your house, ask them for their home phone number. I bet they won't give it to you. If you cannot call them at home, why can they call you? A few years ago I went to New Jersey to visit my family. While staying with my Aunt, I answered a call at her house. It was a person from the Police Association crap. He said his deal and I kindly told him I was from California. Apparently that was not a problem and persisted to get my money. I then told him I could not donate money and that I had just finished with school and had lots of bills and could not afford it. His response took me by surprise, he said "We have a plan for people like you", what the hell is that supposed to mean? WTF!!! Because I just got out of school and I am broke and up to my ears in debt and you have a plan for me!? How about my shoe up your cornhole? I have nothing but bad feelings for those companies. Do I want to see all those people lose their job, no I don't. I don't ever want to be in that position myself, just don't call my friggin house.

I use Mapquest because it is quick. However, it did give me bad directions once. I was going for an interview with Quiksilver.

I agree, however budgets are meager and most people will not take an unpaid internship. Already looked into it.

I do believe in California potato guns are illegal which would most likely rule this the same.
ok, their practices suck, their infrastructure rocks. I meant for registration of TLDs, not for dns.
Basically anyone but verisign.
