An example of that was one of the Enron guys that had some sort of clearance from a previous job and cultivated a cloak and dagger aura with wild rumours of him doing special ops stuff part time (I forget his name but it was in the books about that utterly fucked company). He would vanish for days and questioned he would tell his bosses it was "sensitive" - probably literally because he was eventually seen in strip clubs on such occasions:)
It's one of many MS Windows products that ask NTP servers for the time. If they go out of business just use another, which may not be quite as good but will be better than the built in MS thing that seems to deliver strange results several times per year.
Another thing, the Zune with the spectacular leap year bug that meant it would run 365 days a year and not run at all on the last day of a leap year unless the user changed the date. It only had a clock because of some braindead DRM bullshit of having an expiry time on music files. Such a scheme was an afterthought so a clock was needed and put on as an afterthought and not properly tested. Apart from that it didn't need to know what day or even year it was.
Are you deliberately attempting to be stupid? Please read the above post and try again. It's about your attitude and not where you harvest your distractions that do not actually address the issue from.
Engineering officer working with nuclear systems sounds equivalent to me - so why the petty attempts at bullying me into changing a perfectly valid description into something you demand?
I take it again that you don't work in a field where facts sometimes disagree like the hard sciences, engineering
So now the little boy, in mind if not in body, is calling me a liar? I have been a professional engineer since the early 1990s and was teaching engineering students for a few years about the time slashdot started before going back into the resources industry. If you had applied yourself better in high school you may have had the qualifications to be one of my students instead of being a non-engineer trying to tell me what engineering is:)
Just about everybody said that's what he was doing for a living because that's a perfectly good description of an engineering officer that deals with a nuclear reactor. The problem lies on your mysterious unwillingness to accept such a valid description. Why do you not accept it? What is there in your background that makes you be so vocal about it? Why such a waste of time with the attempted bullying to "punish" me for daring to express it? Was it to get me angry over something so utterly trivial? Is that why you jumped on my post about some idiot trying to "correct" a perfectly good description presumably because of political tribalism bullshit where nothing positive can be said about the other tribe?
Yes "not being seen as providing all info after dismissal resulted in jail". He's just one and there will be others where the "he's an ex-con and deserves jail anyway" attitude seen on this site will not apply. If it can happen to him it can happen to others who may have passwords that have been otherwise lost, or like in the case of Childs, where incredibly poor management wished to make an example of someone to scare the others.
My point is you can and it has probably about the same chance of being either attended to or ignored as with Uber. Do you really think a service that joyfully extends a middle finger to laws and regulations in a lot of places is waiting on your every word? I suspect an inconvenient bad review is going to frequently get filed in the care-factor zero basket alongside the complaints with local government.
"Do you have any evidence to support your assertion" sounded extremely "pissy" to me so I replied in kind to what appeared to be a pretended stupidity or at the very least someone well out of their depth yet giving a lecture. If you don't want to get a reaction like that then try not using phrases such as "Not true at all" about things that you do not know whether they are true or not.
Your idea that you can "own" special manufactured "facts" deserves a challenge to start with - let alone your mindless distracting shit without even attempting to address that it was a job description. Nothing you have posted has anything at all to do with what the Navy called his job.
IT WAS HIS JOB DESCRIPTION - you have failed to address that issue and are instead zipping around the tangents that do not matter. Why? Are you paid for the word for political propaganda - or do you call it "social media work" these days?
Search And Rescue teams should carry "Stingray" mobile cell towers with them to locate missing persons in the wilderness. Any phone in range would try to connect with them.
Didn't work in San Francisco so best to not try that against an employer with their own police force - not being seen as providing all info after dismissal resulted in jail.
It does seem unenforcible but it's still an excuse to harass you by lawyer until you do what they say or serve as an example to others. It's the sort of thing that attracts fines to companies that try such things in other countries. In this case there is likely to be zero consequences for the pricks that are trying to impose this.
Yet people think Uber will do the same and are not considered total idiots:) Reality is probably somewhere in the middle. A friend who was a cabbie was informed a few times by management that there were complaints about him and some he worked with had trouble getting shifts due to a large number of complaints.
I don't think you are HornWumpus and I seem to remember some posts from you about Feds getting up to some things that the constitution is not supposed to allow.
Evidence? A friend who did it for years. I don't care if you believe me or not because you've shown you do not know enough about the topic to be worth listening to.
Yes - you jumped on to call me a liar and then assert a different version of reality to the one that exists based upon twisting the definition of some words out of shape when the context was completely and utterly obvious from the comment and then the quote later. Then you've laid on the petty bullying bullshit in the hope of tormenting some poor kid with low self esteem into believing some sort of trivial fantasy is real- what an utter piece of shit you are! I can take that shit, but you appear to be looking for a victim who cannot.
I suggest you consider how many software types on this site call themselves "engineer" without a degree with that name on it and then revise your words.
Perhaps what the controversy is about is really one of desktop vs server
I thought that was sorted out with Win2k, WinXP and Mac OS X? A server OS (WinNT or *nix) turned out to be far better for the desktop than desktop only shit like WinME.
Slashdot Mirror
Where I am there are several cab companies so reputation does matter. It appears your "mileage may vary".

And/or get their time from a few sources.

The Uber reviews that Uber wishes us to read are right there for you to read. They don't get nothing for the fortune they spend on PR.
Actually I do. However who are you to make such pronouncements and tell the Navy what they should be doing?
Yes "not being seen as providing all info after dismissal resulted in jail".

That's not what Stingrays are for.
Crikey!
Too soon?

I've been here for years. It's not a fucking high school debating site even if that is what you want it to be.
Your wordgame required ignoring that it was a job title and a perfectly valid description for the purpose of my comparison.
Thus somewhat tangential to reality as we both know.
I don't think you are HornWumpus and I seem to remember some posts from you about Feds getting up to some things that the constitution is not supposed to allow.
