We grow up in neighborhoods with other people like us, go to schools with kids like us, who have parents that make about the same amount of money as our parents.
We have similar political leanings, drive similar cars, eat similar food.
- Online banking - ATM access - Point of sale transactions - Brokerage Transactions
etc, etc.
My strategy has always been to spread my risk - make all point of sale transactions with a publically exposed credit card, which I pay off monthly from a completely separate checking account, which is totally divorced from my investment accounts. Each account is at a different bank, which i use different logins and passwords for.
If any one is compromised, I have at least a marginal degree of separation from all the others.

I work in a related industry, and when we were working with these guys, this always stood out to me as somewhat funny. Actual verbage on the template letter is as follows:
Dear :
The records for Medicare incorrectly show you as deceased.
If you have not already done so, please go to your local Social Security Office and ask them to correct your records. After you do this, please send us written proof at . When we receive this proof, we will tell Medicare to correct their records.
In the meantime, you should keep using network pharmacies to fill your prescriptions. If you use an out-of-network pharmacy, except in an emergency, may not pay for your prescriptions.
If you have any questions, please contact customer service at . TTY/TDD users should call .
You're like all the developers I work with in cube land. Sometimes the truth we can implement in the real world is not the same truth that exists in your mind.
This is *ok*. It doesn't mean we have failed. It just means we are making progress.
And progress is good, no?
Having only managed people for a couple years now, my advice would be:
1. Listen to your employees 2. Shut up and listen to your employees more 3. Don't be afraid of confrontation, but do be willing to accept that sometimes the 'right' answer isn't necessarily the 'best' answer.
If the individual developers have agreed to the terms and conditions of participation, and said terms and conditions were clearly stated, what's all the rucus about?
I'm failing to see how this is newsworthy....
I say well done.
I too finished at UVa with a double major in Physics and Environmental Science. It took me 3 years, however I did have time to sample some of the other, uh, benefits and activities present in C'ville.
If you get in a car with a drunk driver, knowing that the consequence is death, are you stupid?
No! You are very, very, very, very stupid.
Do you deserve what you get?
No, you don't deserve it. But on the other hand, you shouldn't be surprised either.
I find this comment highly ironic considering your sig links to 'Loose Change'. Have you actually watched it?
Is your link a joke? Calling it a documentary is like calling wikipedia the be all, end all, for accuracy.
I've only worked in corporate America for 3 years now, but I see a couple trends:
1. There are 3 basic types of IT:
- Production Support - the folks who run the systems from a day to day standpoint
- Admins - the folks who keep the systems running on a slightly longer time frame than day to day
- Developers - ie programmers who write the code to do the above two functions
Prod support and admin functions can be outsourced relatively easily. Dev functions often require a good deal of business knowledge.
What pisses me off are the developers who on the one hand complain about management's shortcomings, yet when backed into a corner play the whole 'well, that's not what the spec says' card. Lame if you ask me. You may be intelligent, but intelligence is rarely the limiting factor in corporate america (by, 'rarely' i mean never. if you think otherwise, typically that implies you are probably arrogant.)
hmmm, interesting. I honestly don't know. How does that play into copyright laws? If you perform a song, do you own the rights to that specific performance?
Do others know more? Never thought of that spin to the legality of e-tree......
I have been listening to this guy's work for a while now: http://www.hypnotyza.com/radio/ [hypnotyza.com] I'm not affiliated with the site at all, just stumbled across it while reading a message board. He's a DJ who mixes live to hardrive and puts up the shows (about an hour long) as mp3's. Interesting stuff.

I don't know where you get your information, but most of the people I know who have been arrested for drug offenses in Florida, either received simple citations or misdemeanors. You either have to have intent to distribute or a SHITLOAD of drugs to face felony charges in Florida, or most states for that matter. Shit, if you get caught on federal property with marijuana, it's a federal misdemeanor until the weight reaches about 5 pounds I believe, at which point federal prosecutors have the option to pursue felony charges.
I agree that laws banning felons to vote have been taken a bit too far, but don't try to scare people with false information.

But in real life too!

I'm noticing a pattern here...
As a manager, I can tell you its this sort of short-sightedness that will buy you a one way ticket to the street.
1 month to launch? Sure, no problem, we'll give you a 10k per year raise.
And then we'll show you the exit a week or two after launch.
You think you're irreplaceable?
I think every time I post a new position I get 100 candidates more qualified than your dumbass.
MOD PARENT UP!
Maybe not the best for desktop use, I prefer the Eames while surfing on the laptop:

It would depend on the type of business, no?
- Online banking
- ATM access
- Point of sale transactions
- Brokerage Transactions
etc, etc.

For all us Vonage subscribers, what VOIP company should we think about switching to if Vonage goes under?
Picked up a couple bottles of Veuve Clicquot for $33 each this morning...

This is similar to the assumption that if your DNA is present at a crimescene, you must by default be guilty.
