Halo 2 is a fucking joke online. Bungie has turned into a bunch of lame jackasses. The game has pulled in over $300,000,000 now and they can hardly be bothered to give us any updates on the tons of stuff that need to be fixed. All the cheats and exploits? Don't worry about it. New levels. Don't worry about it. Red team winning when it's a tie. Don't worry about it.

Great guys! Thanks a bunch. Now, what's being done about all the cheating online and all the other bugs? Oh, great, I get to read about Clan PMS!
And don't get me started on the single player. What a crock. Barely any earth levels? Check. Playing as some other stupid character? Check. A fucking stupid ending? Check.
And FFS, why does bungie.net have to suck so much in Firefox?
It is the French national holiday like the 4th of July is the US national holiday. From the about.com link: Bastille Day was declared the French national holiday on 6 July 1880, on Benjamin Raspail's recommendation, when the new Republic was firmly entrenched. Bastille Day has such a strong signification for the French because the holiday symbolizes the birth of the Republic. As in the US, where the signing of the Declaration of Independence signaled the start of the American Revolution, in France the storming of the Bastille began the Great Revolution. In both countries, the national holiday thus symbolizes the beginning of a new form of government.
That weird box sitting on your desk is called a "printer". Some of these "printers" can even print "pictures".
Now look at a UPC. It's made up of black lines (the numbers are just for show) which is about the easiest thing to print in the world. Now, look in your desk drawer for "Glue".
I think you can figure it out from there. If not, this topic has been covered ad-nasuem in 2600 for about the past 10 years (or longer?). Hell, skip the computer. You can make them with a black pen if you're bored. I've done so and tested them out when I worked in retail. It's really not that tough.
You're exactly right. You know why this type of thing is needed? Two reasons. 1. They have a very real need to track their trucks and packages. 2. Employees like to slack off. We all do it, and the majority of us all do it more when we're on the road.
Notice who posted this? Michael of course. Another big business is bad, poor little employees. Oh, and lets look to the our uncorrupt and pure friends at the Teamsters union for comfort and help.
Why shouldn't a company be able to know where their truck and equipment and products are?
Like another poster said, it's not as if they're tracking their employees when they're at home.
Much like gas prices. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. (down now - I thought the Saudis were supposed to drive gas prices down before the election for their friend Bushitler, not after... strange)
You would troll me? As one does with a trolling motor? Or would you mod me "Troll"?
What is ignorant about what I said? They chopped off plenty of heads during their revolutionary period of bloodlust. Good for them. They went a little overboard, but oh well.
I know the name for the day is "Bastille Day". But, personally, I prefer "Le Chop off the Fucking Heads Day".

No, it'll be cool, because it won't fully support the .DOC, .XLS, .PPT, or .MDB formats.
Worthless functionality for a slightly lower price. Oh boy!
They reported that on Dec 29th.

And the costs of visiting each (if you are in Germany) are exactly the same!
Or not.
Yes, I enjoy blindly bashing idiots. It's fun.
erhhh.. Pre-Communist Art of the 16th Century

Oh wow! A quote! AMAZING!
I love people who think they can quote old dead people and BAM! they think they're making some amazing point.
"You're a fucking idiot." - Me
If it wasnt for France and their CIA organization would would have been attack twice in the last 3 years
Thanks for your clear and concise contribution. Oh, and yes, France "secretly kick(s) ass". Whatever...
You might want to read up on the holiday.

But I'm the fuckwit. Thanks, sport!
at least most slashdotters have jobs and have taken classes other than Art History 212 - Pre-Communist Art of the 1600th Century
Are you new to computers?

Send a supe on road with them. Beats the heck out of a GPS for improving performance.
When the supervisor is there. Overall the GPS system is the most cost-efficient method.
$15 an hour * 100,000 truck drivers = $1.5 million an hour
/year = $3,120,000,000
$1.5 million an hour * 40 hours / week * 52 weeks
A little bit more than the money they pay their execs.

More importantly... what's with the [ and ] being used to designate a quote? That really sucks.
correction:
"American goods cheaper abroad, foreign goods cheaper in America." ->
"American goods cheaper abroad, foreign goods more expensive in America."
It's called a cycle.
Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down.
Much like gas prices. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. (down now - I thought the Saudis were supposed to drive gas prices down before the election for their friend Bushitler, not after... strange)
I replied to a guy who said "you mean Y65K?"
Not the guy who correctly stated "Y32K"

dude... 2004 called, they want their joke back...
Oh wait - it's still December. Oh well, carry on.
yeah, we should have just chopped off everyone's heads - that's a much better style of revolution in my opinion!
Think about that every time you celebrate "Le Chop off the Fucking Heads Day" or whatever it is that you celebrate to commerate that period of time.
RTFA
It was a signed integer. The problem occured at 2^15 (32768) (although the article reported it as 32,000)
sheesh... get over yourself and get back in the kitchen! And keep your f'en kids out of my yard!
If you get offended that easily you should get off the internet, lock the front door to your house, go in a closet, close the door, and sit silently.
Smart ass: there are more costs than just an employee's salary
Think of the software, hardware, lab space, insurance, electricity, etc etc etc that is needed for ~320 people.
