Put him in his own cube with his own projects. Half the job, in any job, is being able to interact with others in a productive and professional way. BJs are constitutionally incapable of doing that and eventually cost you in productivity and morale.
In other news, hot-on-the-heels of Google's release of Underwater Street View, Apple has filed a preliminary injunction against USW claiming Google's use of the the terms "Street" and "Ocean" violate 14 of Apple's patents. Among them, Apple cites two in particular: patent 1345-B which covers the use of "Words relating to rectangular shape or design" and patent 3821-F "Color variations of AppleBlue-13 developed by Apple Inc". A preliminary hearing is set for Dec 13th 2012.
so... someone broke into his office just to install Linux on one of the laptops. And they've connected this to "thefts of lawn signs" and "recent mysterious computer shutdown in the middle of the night."..Riiiiight... I can't figure out what they are trying to cover up here, but this has got to be one of the most outlandish excuses I've ever heard.
"Edison did not invent the first electric light bulb, but instead invented the first commercially practical incandescent light.[27] Many earlier inventors had previously devised incandescent lamps, including Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans."
The U.S. ranks 23rd among developed nations in the percentage of students with undergraduate degrees in science or engineering who are employed in related fields
Gee, do you suppose that's somehow related to lost Science and Engineering jobs due to offshoring in the past decade?
And this is why Linux will never be more than just an "alternative" desktop OS.
Things have changed since 1998. There are a ton of moderated Linux forums available these days to help the less experienced. The http://www.stackoverflow.com/ and it's associated channels are a great place to search for, and ask, questions. Chances are, whatever you're struggling with has already been answered there. The moderation/ranking system used keeps the useless garbage cut way down. There's a big enough userbase that questions get answered quickly and accurately. There's no reason to subject yourself to IRC anymore.
No matter what the profession, drama in the workplace, at the level described in TFA, is best reserved for Prime Time TV. It's really annoying to those of us who are actually working.
Disclosure is pointless. Firstly, it doesn't prevent the carrier from installing spyware on your device. Secondly, it's often worded in a way which leaves the customer clueless:
"..In agreeing to these terms, you authorize Sprint to collect the necessary data needed to improve and maintain equipment, networks, and customer service. At no time will Sprint share this information with unaffiliated third-parties, or individuals"
People just "meh" at shit like this and click through it. The lawyers know it too. I say, If you're going to raise hell about CarrierIQ, make a policy that requires the individual to Opt-in.
Gotta love those "peace loving muslims" don't you?
Be careful there. There are plenty of peace loving Muslims who are not batshit crazy. Don't condemn an entire populous because a handful of murders think they are justified through the eyes of their religion. Society gets to be a pretty cold place when you judge the intent of many based on the actions of a few.
If one barrel is 306 pounds and a ton is 2000 pounds then that's 400,000 pounds of oil consumed, or 1324 barrels. In contrast, BP trashed the Gulf with an estimated 5 million barrels.
It's interesting that bacteria are working hard to consume the spilled oil, but hardly a successful method of cleanup.
Face it, if you don't run windows, you'll never, never, never ever have 100% office compatibility. Never. Microsoft wins here as well as being the De-Facto gaming platform. Yeah, yeah I know, Steam is coming to Linux... and Metro is brainded.. we'll see.
Apple has it's own gated-community take on everything from music to desktop. You drink one cup of kool-aid and do everything Apple's way, or leave. You don't need Windows. You don't need office. You don't even need to think for yourself. If you have a problem pay, pay, pay. The Apple store loves you.
Linux sounds great when you first hear about it. You hear about rock solid stability, No Internet Explorer. All the people who you think know more than you are running it. So, you go to buy it, but can't find it. You find out you have to download it. You go to download it and there are 1700+ different options. You ask a question on IRC "which distro should I download" and someone replies "Here!" and you find out about goatse and spend the rest of the weekend trying to wash your eyes out.
Dekstop or ISV, the real issue here is that there isn't a perfect solution. They all have their share of problems.
The global honeybee population demise is linked to a single pesticide not to mention the links to human disease
What's more, when you buy Organic, you are (in most cases) supporting a local farmer in your area rather than Del Monte or Dole or some other mega-corp grower. Indirectly, buying Organic means you are also not supporting the pesticide companies such as Monsanto who are out to destroy family farming.

I think he had a few 'trials', no?
No, they mean the water-boarding kind.
Your move, Apple.

Same stuff in your soda pop. The corn it's from is designed to put on weight. Same for people as it is for cows.
It's just not something you need to worry about.
You're living in the exact blind loyalty dream world that every monopoly hopes people will live in.
You can't legislate respect.
Nor tolerance.

You dropped a few zeros there.
Ugh.. good catch. Much apologies. Funny how a few zeros can do that.

DHS exists because It's a great way to dump US tax dollars into privatized money machines. It's hear to stay, voting or not.

I mean c'mon, I can't imagine there are a lot of big secrets they are trying to protect.
Let's just have an official monopoly on cell phones.
That's precisely why all of this is happening. The outcome of all the litigation will eventually determine who you can legally buy a phone from.
jailed his critics, restricted the press, and rigged the electoral system to guarantee his victory?
Don't get too upset with Putin. That's pretty much par for the course in Democracy too.
We forgot to cluster the webserver
you know, to let them know their network is down.
