Yeah, it's a damn shame, though. Too bad slashdot doesn't have a mode to show the replies before the original messages. Maybe it could put the article text at the bottom of the page.:-)
Face it though, it happens.:-) Might as well put the sig there too instead of accumulating them in a heap at the bottom.

Don't forget the original kitchen sink. Too bad that it probably won't make it into Mozilla as an about: option.
As a result of this action, they have reduced the integrity of their certificates (yes, that means diluting TRUST, which is the foundation of PKI) by making the revocation lists unavailable.
I didn't realize there was any trust left in Verisign after the stunt they pulled with Sitefinder.
After working on a bunch of NT servers all day I needed to make a quick change to our company's primary file server which ran Linux. After I logged out I hit control-alt-del and the machine started shutting down. About 30 seconds later the helpdesk switchboard lit up like a christmas tree. After working on the NT machines all day I didn't even think before I hit the keys. I guess I thought I was going to lock the screen or something. 15 minutes later I had the linux boxes configured to write to a log file when ctrl-alt-del was hit rather than rebooting. Lesson learned.
They didn't, and we argued and argued, and then were shown the NDA which clearly stated that if they aren't happy with it, we can go shove it up our arses.... I just stood up and walked right out of the office while an exec was explaining this. I couldn't believe it.
So, you read the contract and had a lawyer review it before you signed it, right? If so you knew the stated terms and can't act like you're surprised by them later. If not then you get what you deserve. Never sign anything without reading it and understanding it first.
So, I was correct in pointing out the divergence between the article's acual content and what it appeared to be.
You were correct in misinterpreting what the subject matter of the article would be about before you read it. You then went ahead and commented on your misinterpretation that had nothing to do with the original post or the poster's predicament. In fact you said:
You are not a casualty of off-shore outsourcing. You are a casualty of the battle between consultants and in-house IT expertise.
Telling the poster what he already knew and had already informed everyone of in his original post.
For what it's worth, my original question was rethorical. But if you'd like to answer it, it'd be curious what you have to say about it. You mention off-shore outsourcing then never touch on it again in your message. What, if anything, did you have to say about off-shore outsoucing?
The headline "replaced by outsourcing", combined with the mention of working from home for less pay, (which seems to have nothing at all to do with his actual situation) suggest that he is talking about the highly media-visible problem of offshore outsourcing.
Yet if one takes a minute to RTFA they see that it has nothing to off-shore outsourcing. Also, the part about working from home was part of Cliff's "commentary" not part of the original poster's message.
What it suggests from glancing at the article is different from what it actually is saying when you read it.
As much as I would like to see O/S everywhere in the world, I think that what Iraq needs before anything else at the moment is a stable government.
And what do you think this new government will be using for communications, record keeping, etc? Clay tablets and sticks? The new government will need phones, offices, and computers. Now is a perfect time for knowledgable Iraqi's to help show their new government ways in which they can be self-sufficient. Yes they need a stable government but there's a whole support infrastructure behind making that happen. If some people in Iraq can assist by contributing their time and knowledge then where's the harm in that?
I'm still waiting on that new super Amiga that all the Amiga faithful tell me is right around the corner. They claim it will revolutionize the computing industry. [rolls eyes]
And just who do you imagine I was patronizing with my comment?
Yes, thoughout history there have been people or organizations who sponsor the work of creative individuals. But to imply that their goal is to sell images is a bit much. While there might be some artists that create solely for the benefit of money they are for the most part in the minority. As I mentioned before, most artists create for the joy that their work brings them. They'd continue to create whether they get paid to do it or not.

Thankfully, that's the worst I've done so far.
They're just showing the same attention to detail that they give all of their software.
I'm actually refering to this 2.0.x.
Thank goodness I'm still running 2.0.x!

Let us know who the company is that said you were a risk.
Does this mean the American military will go after the spammers for theft of service?
