what is this bullshit? im the nice guy (ass kisser) for the execs, when the execs are happy, everyone is happy? What is this, astroturfing? who are you really and whos watching you
you are probably the guy everyone else hates. or something definately not... normal
It still doesnt make sense to me. A corporation is not a sentient being, it cannot make decisions, it can't go to prison for its actions. Can a corporation also bear arms? The people running the corporations have their own rights, these are not good enough?
if you really want people to feel you are doing something revolutionary, you need to come up with something a little better. Perhaps something along the lines of getting into some sort of pod with inertial dampeners, you climb on it and whoosh, you are flung to your destination from some sort of lacrosse net. Ok, maybe that wasnt such a hot idea
Oh well there are always those wonderful space-aged tubes we seem to be so fond of... as long as we don't dump on them, of course.
I played SWG from launch (Late June 2003) until September 2004. The game was great first 2 months,
game play wise... but it was ridiculously buggy. After more then a year, the game had some things going for it, but the F you attitude of SOE to its player base rubs on ya. Instead of developing new content, they kept wasting time tweaking (nerfing to shit) what the currently had.
Yeah... I had a jedi knight actually, because I used to play from work and shit....
the best part of the whole game was trading my character for 1/2 lb of doobage.
not sure if this crappy because of the 16 kbps quality or the fact that the interviewer sounds like mushmouth from the Fat Albert cartoon after doing a gram of cocaine.
This is about all I would need to make it worth having for me.
This way I can go where I please and still be able to do what I needed to do.
Well, maybe Im just looking for a way to justify going outside or away fromthe office on those nice days, but since they froze my salary, throw m a bone for god sake!
basically what i do is close almost all communication off from my india counterparts.
I do not give them information that i have had to learn and acquire on my own. Things that are not in books, things that are not taught. Let them prove their own worth by developing their own methods.
The result: India gets the ball, they are at a loss and fumble, eventually they (the CIO and CEO) call me, and I get the job done.
I refuse to train my potential replacement. I have been confronted a few times so far on my unwillingless to help, and Ive come right out and said, "why should I?"
It is a dangerous position I keep, because I know if they could replace me, they would if they could, but my knowledge is locked inside my own head.
These are my designs, my creations, and I intend to keep it that way.
I know they are actively trying to replace me, but so far they have been unable. I alone hold the key. If they feel like redisigning the system I have built from the ground up, more power to them, but at least I know they will have to hire someone from this neck of the woods to do it.
You almost had a point. Though I would have to call your bluff on the computer game thing.
Then again, what constitutes a computer game these days.. a disk you buy and install or does a game of Slingo count.
You would think if that were true there would be a hell of a lot of Barbie games out there. Not to totally stereotype female players into goodie goodie roles as far as game play, but lets face it, its rare to see a female in any game commercial, unless its a CGI of a female, usually large of breast and light of clothing.
Lets see some numbers, being an engineer, thats what I like to use.

was watching kim fields boobs get amazingly huge over the years...
I would also like to thank 80s tv for being so bad, because if it wasnt, I wouldnt have the total disregard for tv that i have today.
well do be honest we had a good team of 5, we designed telecom hotels for major GSP
We all worked hard did our part and reaped the rewards
now we are a staff of 10 (5 indiands aded to the payroll) + 2 are owners...
and while 80% of the time they can follow step by step instructions (that we had to write for them) , the other 20 where circumstances need adjusting, they either cant do it, or do it incorrectly, usually causing more work.
to be honest a lot of time and aggravation would saved if they just stayed home and collected a paycheck. We are now hiring 3 more indians, to route email and one to do shipping.
yep... and they are talking about getting more.
this hiring of friends is killing the company, and it killed the indian government, its one of the most corrupt governments in the world, and you can do a search for cnn on that. I alos believed a discovery channel special or some channel not too long ago.
and to be honest, our american workforce is not much different, you still have hiring or frends, nepotism, and etc... and indeed our government. and our software
The whole thing is actually depressing on both sides
I used to work in a lean mean team... and it kicked ass, now i gotta deal with bullshit and extra work.. Im angry, and its natural to get angry at the people who cause you grief...
and they all have the same last name (apparently from southern india)
Man, sewerage is bad enough...
Whats leftover from the waste? Super waste? and maybe you could do something with that... and then have super duper waste? So that eventually a leak in the pipes can wipe out half the city? Does this mean we will have to equip each house with high powered turd cannons to shoot last nights dinner into the sun?
You also have to remember that games often are modeled after real life...
If video games were around in the 1800's (humor me), no one probably even considered a racing game with cars, or power boats etc etc.
Just like now we probably cant really imagine racing using spaceships, perhaps using the gravitation forces of celestial bodies.
What about a game where you travel through time to alter different events between periods to stop (or cause) certain other actions...
There is no limit to the imagination, regardless of the media its applied to.
Copycats and rehashes are just copouts for those whose imagination has run dry.
America was built on its own foundations, not by undercutting England. Then again it was not possible back then.
How did we do it? We created our own markets, our own success stories. We invented.
India is leeching off of our innovations, our brainworks.
Create your own , then sell it to the rest of the world.. thats how america got to where it is today.
While that was an interesting sidestep, I at least mention that the people i was referring to was "the people i encountered", while your comment makes a rather ignorant and broad generalization backed up by... absolutely nothing
I suppose you have met and encountered 90% of the American workforce?
Lots of great things come from places other then the US... Japan and Germany for example. Regardless if you like them or not, you cannot deny those facts.
So.... show me some facts please and maybe you wont be met with so much hostilities.

Can someone please explain to me why corporations have the same constitutional rights as citizens do?

all i have to say is it takes serious balls to even put a story with a link to an MS site on slashdot.
