Wow, I envy your contract. And yes, I still agree with you and go beyond to say that you were right in what you did now that you mentioned 'long conversations' I believe you tried to take the high road. I apologize if I had misunderstood you or in any way implied that you would behave this way all the time.
Though I still think that quitting/getting fired still come to the same conclusion: you have to look for another job. Sure it looks better for your new employer but in the end you still have to look for it.
Well, to put it simply you are not very smart. Obviously in your contract it states that every code (or anything for that matter) that you created in the company was IP for the company but nothing prevented you from taking the idea to a next level say have the process well defined and work with the community to develop it. Maybe discuss more the benefits, that you were already doing the same with other tools and that maybe, just maybe, that could make the company have a better image in front of the community
I belive we must stand for what we believe when what's being asked from us goes against it or to harm it but as far as I can tell you just acted like a snotty kid who had his precious toy taken away. Congratulations on losing a job based on that.
All of the series is very good. I still need to buy me a copy of IV but I've played since all the madness that was II up to III Third Stike and then the Zero series - which btw is very interesting from a story perspective until Zero 3 - and I still find that the Zero series is better. Though the SFIIHDREMIXOMGBBQ is VERY nice:)
I'd love to see Capcom vs SNK2 into PSN/Live for that matter. An agreement with SNK and them bring SNK vs Capcom Chaos too. Aw fuck it, bring me Guilty Gear XX (the last one whatever name it is now...)
Oh well, that was childish really and I apologize for the ad hominen attack. Though, where you work does not mean anything as I work for the #2 and still have the same problems as you. Might notice though that the problem with your statements is that you stereotype everyone from 3rd-world countries while saying your country (US then) holds the best knowledge.
Again, you're only being a douche spouting stereotypes like that. I could name a few of the programmers from US that I hold some code-from-hell in one of the MVS apps I support (don't even get me started on Access 97). But also, I can name a fer programmers that are absolutely good when I work with them. I agree that there are a LOT of bad people in 3rd-world country, but again, there are a lot in 1st-world too.
No, you're basically being a douche and trying to prove your point through meaningless articles. If you ever worked with people from other countries from serious companies you'd see that these people are not trained according to their culture but to the company's culture.
Approval from management or confrontation is just a discussion with management and that obviously happens everywhere. It might be different in the 1st-world (I haven't assumed YET you're from US) where people tend to think that what's good about them should be mentioned, which I think is a good practice.
If you want to talk about culture, what should I say to the more than 20 different persons I talked through last year from all parts of the 1st-world that didn't know that in Brazil, we speak portuguese and NOT spanish? Even better, what should I do about all the other co-workers from the 3rd-world who even took initiative to learn a few words in portuguese to exchange greetings and promote better relationship?
Actually, don't say anything. I know from your culture that the workplace is not a place to estabilish relationships, and maybe that's why everybody else in the world has the idea that all of them are workaholics. A shame really.
...which is get a bunch of third-world programmers in a room and churn out very lackluster code...
You're right. We 3rd-world programmers suck. We tend to use something awful (C/C++/Java) and not the awesome technology in which the legacy code I received from my company, written in the 1st-world. The greatness that Microsoft Access 97 is.
Don't be a douche. There are as many awful 3rd-world programmers as there are in the 1st-world.
If you read my whole comment and tried to understand you'd see why I mentioned that. I'll be a nice guy and explain for other intelligence-impaired people: I mentioned so that anyone would not get the idea that I was just bashing on Linux for being a OSX/Windows user.
That is, unfortunately, the common answer when someone mentions anything of distro bubbles: "There are alternatives!". You know, this has got to stop at some point. Noone asked if there's another distro, the OP only mentioned that Ubuntu 8.10 is slower than previous versions. And he's right to complain if he was used to have a good performance on it. Hell, even I had better experiences with Windows XP than Ubuntu 8.04 in apparent performance.
Don't get me wrong though, I've used Linux from 1999 until July this year when I finally gave up and bought myself a Macbook after a simple udev security update fucked up my whole system. I still think it's a powerful platform but still has ways to go - both internally and the mentality of the users/admins/devs.
Well, not exactly "not polite" but interesting anyways you can read here in portuguese. Google should translate that in a good way anyways but I'll try to do a free (as in beer) translation for anyone interested if I can't find any.

AFAIK, in a BSD license you can do a lot of things with the code but you still must license it under the same copyright/restrictions conditions you've had the code to start with - someone might point to the right direction here. Apple didn't change the license, they can close it down and sell it. Though, you can download it (google darwin source).
Power users generally tend to adapt themselves to whatever tool they're given to work with. If you need the tool to adapt to you it means that you're a power user of that tool, not a power user. Besides, if you're that annoyed about using your mouse, why not use a non-wysiwyg editor?
Not to mention that you could try to stick to the previous version of MS Office. Unless this is in your working place where you don't have the power to decide that.
I though no one would mention Jean Charles de Menezes case in all this. Which I hope someday they may charge the stupid officers who shot before asking.
But a number of important things stay the same. For example, in any document-based application, Alt,F,S and Ctrl-S both give you Save. Always. Everywhere. Noooooops. Surely you just used this software from MS in English right? In the brazilian version of MS Office up to 2003 - haven't bothered with 2007 yet - if you type Ctrl+S, you get underlined text (Underline in the portuguese version is Sublinhado). And guess what is the shortcut in notepad for saving? That's right, it's Ctrl+S! So there goes your "Always. Everywhere".
Arch is definitely the way to go for you that don't want to run anything you don't need but don't want to end up losing a lot of hours just to set up your box.
To me, the best part of Arch is the KISS principle. It won't assume you need dozens of services running at your first install. Actually, even if you install a service, it won't put in your startup automatically - YOU will have to say you want that starting up. It's a very solid and multi-purpose distro with a good and responsive community. Yeah I babbled like a fanboy, I know, but I really liked the improvement in my laptop/desktop management I had when I moved from Debian to Arch.
Also, I know this is not your case but for anyone else that might read this, but Arch is _not_ for a new user. Don't bother. You will find extremely annoying when you find out that just to setup hibernation/suspend you need to create hooks in the kernel - yeah.

... but I only had RFC 1149 implemented at the time :(
Or, as I like to say, my current job supporting 5 stupid access database shit. It could be worse sure. My colleague supports over 40...

Wow! I've just felt like this comic. Weird.
/. delightful though. And yes, I was trying to be sarcastic.

I wish I could mod you up. You, sir, have obviously stated some very crucial information regarding how fanboyism works. Congratulations!
I though no one would mention Jean Charles de Menezes case in all this. Which I hope someday they may charge the stupid officers who shot before asking.

That's fmt=42. You can also try fmt=69 for the Porntube version of the video. The only problem is that it always add scenes from the 2 girls 1 cup.
