Outsourcing will never be the same again. HP workers have been on strike against pay cuts last week; no doubt management will try and screw them further to pay for this debacle.
Let me give you a little fucking hint, when the company you work for, losses a 200M lawsuit, because you were a fuck up... a pay cut should be the least of your worries.
Where the fuck did this ridiculous sense of entitlement come from? What the hell is wrong with people now days? You don't exactly get raises when you screw up, ESPECIALLY when you end up costing millions to the company. The only time you get pay increases in this situation is when you're a US CEO of a massive company and cost millions of people pain and suffering, THEN you get a bonus.
Not really. pwn2own requires private exploits that no one knows about, with Windows every known exploit is used as soon as possible. The last winner set on his hack for a year. He didn't find a new one, he just sat on it so he'd have it handy.
That sort of contest doesn't indicate security in general, unless you're so retarded you think that because an OS didn't get bothered with during the contest that it must therefore be secure.
And never once in 10 years have I had a reason to delete a single call from my call log. Perhaps the reason that the feature doesn't exist is because no one of any importance gives a shit? You're asking for a feature with almost 0 usefulness unless you're trying to hide something from someone close to you to perpetuate some lie you've told. In which case, you could just delete the entire call log.
Honestly I don't know how anyone can use their iPhone without jailbreaking it, unless they're not really using it as a smartphone so they're not installing applications, using data, etc.
I can only assume you mean that because you can't delete a single entry in the call log that you think the phone is unusable, since you most certainly can install applications and use data from multiple networks or local storage.
If a phone isn't useful to you because you can't delete a single entry from the call log, I'm sorry for you as your life must be very very sad, I truly and sincerely suggest you seek counseling, what you have is very unhealthy.
How about you don't jail break it if you're a 'fucking moron'? Or in your case, just don't buy one cause you can't understand the basic premise behind both of those statements.
It isn't open and requires jailbreaking to prevent 'fucking morons' from causing problems.
So a 'fucking moron' who doesn't know what they hell he/she is doing shouldn't jailbreak it, and those are the people who get exploited, which are the people 'who shouldn't jailbreak it'
This is the problem with todays hacks. Hackers forgot the point. Now days its all about getting popular, not really street cred, like it used to be. Now they make a freaking GUI app to do all the work, which instantly cuts out the check that prevents 'fucking morons' from damaging their phones because now any 'fucking moron' can do it without any knowledge about WHAT they are actually doing. They then proceed to go to a freshly installed app, click the 'install all' button basically because they think that their Ubuntu desktop machine made them a leet hax0rs who knows everything about computing.
No, people don't talk about jailbreaking other things because its a term specific to the iPhone. Partly because very few people care about other devices in this way, but I've certainly hacked the firmware on my WinMo phones to do other things the carrier didn't want me to do, I know of people who've hacked Nokia smartphones for various purposes.
More important however, is that your 5800 has never had a virus... You know why? The number of them in use is so small that NO ONE gives a shit about it. No one ever hacked any of my old cell phones either, because they weren't the fastest growing device on the market, nor did they have anything a hacker could do to them.
Take any of your statements without any knowledge about the subject matter and they make sense, but as soon as you have even the slightest clue about the subject manner your post quickly looks like something submitted by a 'fucking moron' who just happens to own a 5800 and thinks they know wtf they are talking about.
You realize all it takes to get a PhD is to know the right people and to be someones bitch for a few years, right? PhD's are basically career college students who couldn't actually get a job when they got out so they do everything they can to stay in. Some get out, get a job and go back to do their PhD because they can't handle working in the real world.
Don't act like PhDs mean shit, I know a PhD student in ENGLISH with who doesn't know the difference between things like 'cause' and 'prevent'.
The idea that a PhD means something was lost, probably before I was born, now its just something you pay for by doing the research work for someone else and only getting partial credit (if you're lucky)
There are plenty of people with 10 years of C# experience, just because you don't doesn't mean its impossible.
It was released to the public in 2001 and announced internal and worked on by several people well before that.
If you'd made this statement five years ago, you'd have some weight to it, but now it just makes it clear that you're harping on a statement that is no longer true.
When the world reaches population levels like it is today, you must face reality... people ARE DISPOSABLE PARTS.
You can act all cocky and pretend you can call the shots all day long, but you really can't. The only time you have that ability is when you work for idiots, in which case you aren't safe because its unlikely your division/department/company will survive long anyway with idiots managing it.
You can be 'highly skilled' and there are 10 more skilled/qualified people sitting at the door willing to do your job for less the instant you get out of your seat for coffee.
I'm amazed you didn't get modded into oblivion. Most of slashdot still has this silly notion that they are somehow special and unique because they work with computers.
I've been saying for years that we're nothing more than over paid mechanics and janitors anyway.
The real irony of that statement is that most of slashdot doesn't code, they depend on someone else to write the code and give them a patch for no reason other than they should.
Further, BackupPC will automatically email the user saying "It's been n days since your last backup..." and bug them for you. Of course, you can't turn that off without disabling it for the many people who have requested that feature.:)
Yes you can, BackupPC supports per PC overrides, its great software.
Heh, in most states they don't need to provide proof of the reasons they cite for denying you UI payouts, its quite easy for an employer to screw you over actually.
You've certainly done something that is a fireable offense. Its kind of like pissing off the cop that pulls you over, even if you didn't do anything wrong, they can find SOMETHING you did to get you if they want to.
Nothing you posted anywhere in your previously retarded post proved your point, and no, you weren't doing anything before I was in highschool, and you are indeed still an idiot, even if you think your screensaver was special.
It wasn't, and you certainly weren't the first to copy the matrix for a screen saver.
And I'll continue to skim and troll till the cows come home Mr Anonymous Coward. I've got perfect karma, yet you won't bother to login to post, obviously I'm the one with the problem.
Next time you should threaten to come beat me up or something, they'd be cute.
Most people speak louder because they can't hear the person talking on the other end, not because of their ambient noise directly or the fact that the person isn't there.
They can't hear the person on the other end, so they instinctually speak louder thinking they it needs to be done so the other person can hear them.
I hear this, but unless you're sitting right next to someone I can't see how you can really even see it. If its laying in the lap of the guy in front of you, you'd have to be 2.5m tall before you could see it.
A few seats down your row and its going to be out of your field of vision if you're watching the movie anyway.
Yes, but lets face facts, with the situation you describe.
First off, its true, thats pretty much a good description of a symptom of the problem.
But...
In reality, the driver CAN and SHOULD know to focus on his environment first and phone call second. He should know to ignore the phone call and focus on the situation when the need arises. If the driver is incapable of doing this simple thing, they shouldn't have a radio or a passenger either, or better translated, they shouldn't be driving.
Of course, in America, we're never actually going to require that people know how to drive so the next best thing is to just ban cell phones while driving because the drivers are mostly too stupid to do both.
The problem is that stupid drivers are still stupid drivers, and while banning cell phones while driving helps mitigate the problem, its not an actual solution to the problem. Of course, something is better than nothing, so I'm all for banning them.
(although modifying the email protocol to allow authentication of the sender's address would be a big help.)
Already done, its called SPF, Sender Policy Framework. Using existing infrastructure (DNS) and requires only minor modifications to most mail servers and is available for every mail server that matters to anyone but some douche bags running something completely custom.
Now if you could make a significant portion of the Internet switch to only accepting mail from SPF validated domains, then you'd have a major step in the right direction, but good luck pulling it off.
SPF is already a great deterrent for certain backscatter spams, but its not widely enough implemented to be truly useful.
Note: Spammers were the first in line to implement SPF when it came out, so they could avoid getting killed by servers which required it to get through in the first place. It does stop botnets pretty quickly though, but only if those sender addresses are from domains that support SPF. You can't really block non-SPF domains at this point as you'd end up blocking too many lazy sites, including some of the big boys.
Yes, some portions of OS X are derived from OSS. The GNU userland that almost no mac users use, and portions of the extremely heavily modified userland and base libraries and a few services such as printing.
The majority of OSX is not derived from OSS, contrary to what you'd like to think, the parts that are have had massive changes to bring them to what they are.
Its rather silly to make such retardedly out of context comments considering that the OSS you speak of is almost all a rip off of someone elses idea. They aren't really using unique OSS software with one exception I can think of, so pretending that Apple is standing on the shoulders of OSS is retarded unless you want to claim that OSS Unix like OSes are standing on the shoulders of Bell labs.
Slashdot Mirror
You realize that we're adults and that you're retarded use of ascii isn't required since no one cares if you say 'fuck' right?
As for their employees, it sounds like they fucked up enough on their own and are too stupid to get a job anywhere else.
Its funny that you talk about 'screwing over the employees' when ... well, they just lost the company 200m
Let me give you a little fucking hint, when the company you work for, losses a 200M lawsuit, because you were a fuck up ... a pay cut should be the least of your worries.

You could have just said 'I work for Oracle', its not like anyone else would admit to that setup.

I cheat.
My addon is not on the mozilla website, and specifies its max version as 10.*.
Firefox doesn't bitch about anything when a new version comes out.
There are solutions to retarded developers within Mozilla today just like there were 10 years ago with Netscape.
Okay, I'll bother to respond this time.
Nothing you posted anywhere in your previously retarded post proved your point, and no, you weren't doing anything before I was in highschool, and you are indeed still an idiot, even if you think your screensaver was special.

Only because no one writes down as the cause of an accident things like:
'jamming out to the radio'
'not paying attention to the road because I was looking at the girl walking down the side of the road'
'talking to my passenger'
and a handful of other things that are really the same problem just different manifestations.
The problem being the driver shouldn't be driving because they can't prioritize the situation and they stop focusing on driving.
Yes, but lets face facts, with the situation you describe.

First sign a developer is shitty ...
He/She starts talking about 'which development model is better' and starts naming them.
Its the developer with the issue in your case, not the model.
There are multiple, yes, we know, and they suck compared to what the iPhone offers by most peoples version of the story.
You know, those OSS phones are just taking over the world aren't they.
Yes, some portions of OS X are derived from OSS. The GNU userland that almost no mac users use, and portions of the extremely heavily modified userland and base libraries and a few services such as printing.
The majority of OSX is not derived from OSS, contrary to what you'd like to think, the parts that are have had massive changes to bring them to what they are.

So because someone appreciates a product produced by that hive mind ... they also must be of the hive mind? What a retarded statement.
It is possible to appreciate the work of someone/some company that doesn't think exactly like you, at least for us normal people.
A) there would be no reason to tell her anything
B) Unless they are breaching their contract, the 5 year deal isn't over yet so this is all just bullshit.
