Sure. MAYBE these people CAN do what they went to school for, but taking such jobs right out of the gate tells me and others that you are incapable.
I have mod points right now and there is no option that even comes close to this post. You're comment is ricocheting around in my head and I can't stop it. All I can hope for is you're a member of MENSA, are actually superior to me and I am blind to your intellect. Man that is one He11 of an assumption.
Funny thing- I thought I read yesterday that Sony said they can't improve on Blu-Ray. They can, and have, increased the storage; but they can't improve the format because they can't make a shorter laser(?)
Wow, although I can not argue against your opinion, I can say this. People have lost the ability to be people. I have seen the local gendarme from my community imbibing a few towns away. That way they are not seen by the citizenry. Not very fair for someone who can screw your life for a while. The point is this- IF you are driving ok, regardless of your physical or mental state you should not be arrested. I can make some wicked arguments about traffic laws, but that's not what I want to do. I am tired of the damnation I hear towards people who go to a bar, have a few drinks in a responsible manner and then drive home. The same people who damn others are guilty of other offenses- we all are. Let he who has not sinned...
I got pulled over once half tanked, but, was close to home and the cop let me drive home warning I'd go to jail if he saw me out again that night, man, you'd not see THAT happen again these days
And well you shouldn't! You endangered everybody you encountered on the road that night. In my opinion, the cop was irresponsible to let you go. If getting pulled over for DWI vas a virtual guarantee of a visit to jail (assuming that you actually fail the test, of course) then maybe fewer people would be so casual about operating complicated and deadly machinery while under the influence of mind-numbing drugs.
Remember that the next time you work a really long shift and drive home or when talking on your cell phone when driving. Which is worse, an accident caused by someone too tired to drive, or under the influence? For that matter, should people who drive recklessly and kill someone be executed on the spot. Does that sound fair? The DUI laws here are based on an arbitrary number..08 may be drunk for one but not another. It should be based on your motor skills- because that's what really matters when driving.
Um, the reason you pay more for health insurance, doctor's bills, etc. is more than what you simply state. Every one in this country knows how poorly handled our health care and legal systems are. And MY RIGHTS do not stop at your wallet. That way of thinking is not acceptable. Using that logic I could limit a lot of people's rights. Using that logic, let's not let anybody who isn't skinny eat fried foods. Heck, if your IQ is lower than 130- you don't get to drive a car because you are going to have a wreck and make my insurance rates increase. Is your IQ higher than 130? -If no, don't drive because you are going to impact my wallet because you are not smart enough to not have a wreck. And yes, I know IQ's don't play a role in traffic accidents (well at least in most cases;).
Get off of your high horse and let people be people.
At the risk of driving my Karma even further South, did you even think about what you wrote? How many people with sensitive data to protect will move towards SaaS? If they have my data, they better not move that direction! Can you cite examples of the World moving to SaaS? I want to avoid the companies you cite.
Just my.02, I think you will see the re-emergence of in-house development when companies are forced to provide/house their data on "public" servers.
but since the casino programs/sets the odds for their slot machines, I feel they should eat their loss. They have no regard for their patrons when they screw their machines down. Also, as previously eluded to, anyone who mentally counts cards- IS NOT CHEATING!!! How the hell can anybody be considered a cheater for being observant? Same as the guys who learned how to get dice to roll in their favor repeatedly. If they did not modify the dice- how can they be cheating?
I am a Verizon customer (forced). I live in an area that got stuck with them after the merger/takeover/purchase with GTE. Service in the rural areas sucks because they do not consider rural areas profitable. I can not get DSL where I live because they won't let any other vendors in to their CLECs. And no, they are not going to upgrade our cable plants for hDSL or even give us fiber for FTTP for that matter. Charter is our main broadband choice. Verizon offers wireless service, but let's face it, it is less than optimal when leeching large files.;)
Where to start? Ok... For the SMACKTARDS in the group who paint with a really big brush and come out against corporal punishment... SHUT THE FUCK UP and have some kids of your own. Then, while they are growing, don't you dare discipline them once. That way, when they come into the real world, those of us that still have manners can kick the shit out of them for you when they exhibit their greedy and completely selfish ways. The piece of shit parents who can't say "No" and have no involvement in their child's lives and have been cranking out these whiny little bastards should have to pay all the dues for what their darling little brats have done and will do in the future. Thank you for fucking up this world and giving birth to future politicians and corporate executives.
You ashholes that don't have kids have no rights coming in to a board and stumping about minor corrective discipline when you don't have a clue about the subject! But wait, this is Slashdot... nevermind:(
Read Hunt's book and check out the audio taped confession mentioned earlier. Then do some looking into LBJ's political past (stolen ballot boxes,etc.). Then open your eyes...
Because they use their power abusively. As far as sales figures go... If I buy a pc from Dell that gets credited to Vista. Don't forget, Dell actually brought XP back out as an alternative for people who did not want Microsoft's newest crippleware.
You sir must, be own a business and think you are a fair individual. Without knowing you I can't say for sure. But I will tell you this, there are plenty of abusive employers out there and they have more rights than they deserve. So for our (employees) sake, shut up.
I beg to differ- the reason to test patches is not just for apps but also for the operating system. Case in point I offer the fiasco that came from MS04-016 (I'm pulling from memory here). That patch zombied a lot of machines.
You are a narrow-minded son of a bitch. In light of all of the coincidences that have been brought to light, you have the balls to call some one a fucktard. Why don't you start some background searches yourself. As much as it would hurt you to watch "Loose Change" or one of the other pseudo-documentaries out there, there are some valid things to look for. One of them being PNAC. BTW, Cheney and Rumsfeld were charter members of PNAC. Start there, then try realizing that less than two hours after 9/11 happened, Rumsfeld called for the invasion of Iraq. Wow! Al Qaeda hits the WTC and now we go into Iraq? You better wake up and start YOUR research fucktard. You might find some old plans out there for going to war with Cuba by doing some terrorist activities in Miami and blaming it on the Cubans. Maybe you can look at a map and plot where we have troops and see what country they surround. Then maybe you will see what ALL of this is really about.
Don't forget jackass- this is the same govt that denies Area 51 exists and people dying from handling hazmats there can't file for claims because the govt says that place doesn't exist.
DHS about as clueless and irresponsible as govt agencies get. They can't be trusted to safeguard their own data and are now asking for the keys to the root DNS servers. Why don't we just give them to Iran, China and Russia up front so we don't waste our time feeling like we are MORE secure. And no, I'm not trolling or laying flame bait. I know some people.;)
"Remember that businesses don't exist to serve the customer, only the owners/shareholders. It's the way it works".
Well Einstein, thank you for enlightening the masses. You must have gone to bidness skewl or sumting. 'Cuz that's the kind of BULLSHIT they teach there. Since when is it acceptable to change the terms of an agreement? My creditors don't give a rat's ass if I want to change the terms of an agreement. I have to live with their agreements or face legal action.
"There is NO FREE LUNCH!" You obviously have never worked for or around the government or even better- been a CEO of a company. We're talking smorgasboard here buddy.
Corporations are a parasite feeding off of their hosts (oops I mean customers).
The people lost the game when corporations were given more rights than people. I am perpetually amazed at the "evil" corporations inflict on society and by the number of business school grads who reply with your above statement. Get a fucking clue and open your eyes!
Come back next week and I'll post my manifesto;)

From what i understand, in Illinois it is illegal to film or record police activities.

leave it to slashdot to beat a guy up for doing something cool and sharing it with everybody
