Actually, already got a response from my e-mail to him. He is staying with the Byetta, at least for now.
How about that folks? Response to an e-mail to not only a doctor, but a specialist, and the response lists the time as exactly 30 minutes after sending the original e-mail. That ought to be worth a/. story on it's own!
Hey, what do you know? My doctor is smart enough to recognize that past injuries preclude that in my case. But then *YOU* are smarter than my doctor and I put together, I guess. Jackass.
As a Byetta patient, I would love to switch to this new CLASS of drug. It is the first of the new class in ORAL drugs. As you may be aware, Byetta is not an ORAL drug, but is administered by needle (twice per day as well!).
The other big problem is storage of Byetta. Constant refridgeration in a small range (36-46 degrees f) is a royal pain. This is a pill, so room temperature is great!
Also this drug does not seem to have as many side effects as Byetta. Thou the one good side effect of Byetta is missing, weight loss.
After seeing this article and reading the actual article (I know, that's against/. rules, but this is important dammit!), I e-mailed a link to my Endocrinologist for evauluation.
Every position requires a degree. No positions even mention certs.
I have no certs, nor am I interested in them. I have 2 degrees, a BSCS and an MBA.
The only guy around here who had a bunch of certs also had a degree, and ended up on Dateline. Now he is waiting for his court case to come up, and he doesn't work here anymore.
In the summer of 2000, I did a short stint at the Sprint campus (KC), working in their DP.
One Monday, I was brought a problem to work on. Apparently, this one discount program could not handle duplicate records, and they wanted me to handle the program change to do it. Evan gave me a sample data file to use.
Cool, so I made the change, then after testing the sample file, went back to the manager and asked for a larger test file (the one I was given had 3 records in it, two of which were the dups). Didn't I understand? That was the production file! And the discount program was to last for the rest of the year, and they didn't really expect anymore records in the file to show up. They spent a week of my time just to handle three records! (Most of that time was spent writing the doc for the code review at the end of the week.)
I got out of there fast, and wasn't surprised when they laid off 2000 from their IT campus a year later.
This rumor has been around for years about this idea for a film, and has been explicitly DEBUNKED as being the plot of the next film. So quit rehashing this garbage.
And I saw that BEFORE I posted. And I knew of Carley from BEFORE HP, where she helped me out of a job, along with thousands of others.
But I don't worry about it, I have Karma to burn, and lately I have found that moderation has been being handled by a bunch of MORONS. I have been marking a *LOT* of bad meta moderation.
True, but the first rule is that it works (and all the stuff I donate does) and ask before you donate it. Heck, the last one that went to a school was a 33 mhz 486 over 6 years ago.
The one I donated this year was a 120 mhz laptop that went to a relative that is using it at college.
It all comes down to finding the right home for each machine.
Funny, I recycle all my old computers. If nobody else will take them, the public schools will, and give me a reciept for a tax writeoff while I am at it.
It is really simple. If you have to hire more DBA's because you pushed developer work onto them, or you pushed mroe work onto the DBAs because of poor development practices, then you are paying higher costs. Each DBA gets paid more than each developer, ditto for tech support people.
That is my point. We are trying out agile development here, and because of it, the developers are causing the DBA group to do multiples of the work they used to do. So far only one test project, but it is enough to see what is going on.
That and this type of programming has gone round before, and will go round again. There is no "new" methodolgy under the sun. If you have really good developers, than anything will work. If not, nothing does. There, a new methodology.
Oh, and Drucker is not part of it, since Quality is what is lacking in the first place.
Really, I agree with another poster. I average less than 1 per week. We have our regularly scheduled team metting, but that isn't even actually held every week. And we tend to talk more about other people's problems then ours, since we are a DBA/Tech support team.
Switching teams? Right, and that makes agile development work. Sure. Of course, I have found out that what agile deveolpment REALLY does is push MORE work onto your DBA and tech support teams, in order to "reduce" the work of the development teams. The net tradeoff is a negative sum, as tech support and DBA teams are more expensive then developers.
Don't tell people what to work on? And exactly how does that finish projects, ever?
And that would get you fired if you worked for me. And the original poster is no better.
You can not presume to know what I need on MY machine, since MY loadout is geared to me. And there is nothing wrong with passing along a machine and LEAVING it running Win 98SE or something like that, as long as it was legal in the first place.
The bottom line is that you need to leave well enough alone, as there is software out there that will ONLY run on Windows and can not be replaced. And I run several such programs on a regular basis. And several of these programs will not even run under Windows emulation, because they depend on timing thru secondary devices.
>Actually, that part's pretty easy. The burden of legal proof is a little lower of a bar than the proof to ideologues and an uninformed public. That global temperatures over the past two centuries exhibit and upwards trend is pretty much proven. That atmospheric CO2 levels are tightly correlated to global temperature is pretty much proven. A mechanism to explain this is proven. That we have more C02 in the atmosphere than at any time in the past 800,000 years is pretty much proven.
Nope, not even the legal deifinition has been proved and even the "upward trend" has only been "proven" with false statistical methods.
that global warming actually exists. Which has not been done yet (Definitely not to the legal level of proof).
Then you have to prove that the automakers are deliberatley causing Global Warming.
In a rational court, this suit would get laughed out in less than a minute.
And exactly who is going to pay for this suit if it does go thru? Why you and me buying our cars! Yeah, thanks Lockyear, drive up new car prices and tax us that way.
You are right as far as you go. With larger companies, you need multiple copies of each. One shop I was in had 1 Prod environment, 5 QA environments, and a seperate test environment on each developers PC.
Another had 1 P, 2 QA and 2 Test.
My current company has 2 Prod (one is a daily clone for reporting from ), 1 QA and 2 test. And QA and test may have duplicate tables at any time of the normal tables, due to special testing.
Now if you will excuse me, The space manager just mounted that new pack for me, I have to go lay down a temp table in both test and QA, (3.2 GB each).

This jerk has no clue about the real causes and just wants to blame the people that suffer from a disease for the disease itself.
It isn't funny, and is very indicative of a class of people in this world. We generally refer to them as "jackasses".
And no, it isn't funny either.

Since most of the filtering is done on the recieving side anyway. Now end users on the other hand will see a big uptick in spam.
I just don't want to see a precident set by the court.
The law was added at the state level in some states. An example is Vermont.
And it is needed in more states.

So, as far as we are concerned ---> Certs = loser
YMMV.

True, but the first rule is that it works (and all the stuff I donate does) and ask before you donate it. Heck, the last one that went to a school was a 33 mhz 486 over 6 years ago.

I'm talking like your MVS tech programmers, and CICS tech programmers, not the help desk. The help desk is basically worthless to help anyone anyway.

Not even 50% of "climate scienctists" agree with global warming. Wake up and smell the coffee man.

Actually, pretty dang good these days, since they program the dang things from the phone directory, not form random chance.
