  1. Stop asking questions on Ask Slashdot: Why Did You Quit Your Last Job? · · Score: 1

    company was bought out and I had to personally take the computer equipment from about 2000 "Laid Off" employees. Then when I requesting details on completing tasks in the new companies systems on our slack channels, my supervisor got a call, telling me to stop asking questions, because it was making the IT management look bad for not having any knowledge articles or written down policies. I found a new position making a little bit more and made sure my last day was the week before they started moving 1500 people to the new building

  3. $8/hr employee is interviewed about technology. on AppleCare Reps Told To Skirt Malware Questions · · Score: 1

    If you took it to an Apple store they would help. AppleCare "technicians", generally speaking, are Tier I support. Mac Genii are considered tiers II and III. There's a whole lot of stuff AppleCare techs aren't given permission to do, that a Mac Genius will. Not to mention, I'm sure any reputable Apple authorized service provider would be more than willing to help and put it on Apple's dime. I've personally never drank anyone's Kool-Aid, I prefer Macs for home (for simplicity and ease of use), and was a Mac Genius for about 3 1/2 years. I now support about 1000 Windows 7 machines, and a couple dozen windows 2008 servers. They're all infernal machines to me :). The truth is there have been virii for Macs for a long time. One of the big reasons people don't get infected is, you have to authenticate for there very installation. If you're typing your password in to install a package, and don't know what it is, that's the problem, not the operating system.

  4. every cell phone ever on iPhone's Liquid Sensors Can Be Triggered By Wintertime Use · · Score: 1

    so, i haven't noticed a comment stating that every cell phone you've ever owned probably had the same sensor inside. The triggering of that sensor voided it's warranty as well.

  5. Yay openoffice on Is it Time for Open Office? · · Score: 1

    for the past year or so, everytime one of our salemen's outlook does something retarted, I replace it with thunderbird, and install openoffice. We are a large format digital printing company and occasionally we have people sending us their images as an office doc. Not really that big of a deal to print to a pdf in M$ office, but it's much easier for our technically disinclined salemen to click on export. I have actually installed 2007 on my computer to play, and had the salesmen and our boss come give it a try, and let them make their own decision, all around they wanted openoffice instead.

  6. I grew up on these things on Mold-a-Rama Machines Still Alive and Kicking · · Score: 1

    I remember when I was a youngin' going to the MOSI in chicago and getting, a submarine, and a tractor, and abe lincolns head, and i don't remember the other one :), but I loved watching the machine inject the goo and plop, out comes a buring hot plastic toy for fun to be had by all. In January my girlfriend and I went to the MOSI for my first time since those tike years, the machines were still their, in almost exactly the same spots (i had muscle memory of their exact locations :)), and once again I got all of them, and it was just as much fun, and they burnt my hands just as much as when I was a child :). ..
