    Linux was the first Unix like OS that I could download for my PC for free that just worked. "Just working" is a rare quality of software.

    Not all Netflix content is available in all markets. There is a workaround though: Bittorrent.

  3. Re:State employees on Open Salaries: the Good, the Bad and the Awkward (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Er, no. I don't care what the execs get paid when it comes to NEGOTIATING MY SALARY. I know they are making much much more than me. That doesn't mean I care about it. Jesus. I negotiate my salary independently of whatever everyone else is making.

    Well said. You don't even have to be indispensable (no one is). But you have to have value to the company that is higher then the compensation. Companies WILL compensate you based on your value if you ask. Too many people don't even ask.

    Clearly I don't. My point is it doesn't matter to me what peon A or B is getting paid. I am only interested in what I am getting paid so don't talk to me about "averages" (which doesn't include executive compensation). Meaningless. I am sure the executives ARE doing things that aren't my job. I don't see your point.

    I doubt the lawsuit had anything to do with asking for a raise. Such drama queens here...

    No, chances are they were going to lay you off anyway. That has nothing to do with asking for a higher salary. Silliness.

    Yes, I was one too at a University once and my salary was public information. Not sure if every state does that.

    Also, they are paying 70k+ for a job with the title of Twitter Hero. And the company looks like it generates social media spam messages. It is amazing a company can make so much money doing something completely useless.

    You would be surprised. Just ask. The worst thing that ever happened to me when I asked for more money was "no". Don't be so scared. I guarentee the execs are negotiating every year their compensation aggressively.

  12. State employees on Open Salaries: the Good, the Bad and the Awkward (yahoo.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Personally, I am in the private sector, but I don't care what others are getting paid. Usually a company will trot out the line: "well you are making more than the average so you didn't get much of a salary bump this year". I tell them I don't care what the average is, that is someone elses problem. And we are all making peanuts compared to the executives, so who cares what the "average" for the company is. Obviously "average" doesn't apply to C level.

    Let me guess: you are working for the government so the taxpayers are paying you. Well guess what: the rest of us need to work in order to generate enough tax revenue so you can get your 38 hour week.

    Not in this case you can't. For this particular update it needs to go through the BIOS due to the components involved.

    Intel needs to push the microcode update through the BIOS. You can't do it via a OS update. So hopefully your motherboard manufacturer picks up on this.

    All processors have bugs. Some are fixed and some are not. You can obtain errata sheets from the manufacturers. At least this one is easily fixable.
