Problem with cashing in the hours is the Government sucker punches you with taxes. They think of it as a bonus and they can't have people getting free money after all ("rich" people do things like that, I consider it blood money and shouldn't be taxed at all). For me it came to a little over a 50% tax.
I switched to Lexmark after I got mad at a HP all in one. Turned out the Lexmark was even worse. I went back to a different model HP all in one and it's still running today, years later.
During the time I had the Lexmark, I experienced bad support as well. My in-laws had a Lexmark printer. It wasn't long before I had to replace it, with an HP. HP has a little gold mine there as long as they can keep the accountants away from that part of the business.
Great idea it seemed at first. WWII docs to me are like a dime a dozen, however if I see one on it might catch my attention enough to actually watch it.
I have netflix and fire stick. Just not clicking. Maybe I'm simply getting too old for TV, though I can't believe I'm actually thinking that. Seems mostly like a time wasting system to me.
What utter nonsense. With all the resources, money google has? I hope they realize this is like pissing in the wind. Now it's all over them. The Judge should have a field day with them.
Everyone knows it's BS.If a woman believes they are not paid the same amount, there was a law passed in the 1930s, yes, 1930s and updated in the 1960s about equal pay. They can sue, and win. This is simply a way to make division where there is none.
This is such a terrible idea. It will give people a way out, to do nothing. They are scared to take a chance on anything. So they do nothing. If they have no choice, they take that chance and some of them become CEOs of big companies. I talked to a black man yesterday. He was thinking about flipping some houses. Went to Trump university. I flip houses. He has everything he needs, but the courage to actually do it. It's just like the Rich Dad program. You can fail out of that program too. It's a lot of hard work. You don't get anything for free in this world, well except if we have UBI. Where we steal from other people to give money to the hostile dependents of the world. What's a hostile dependent? Easy, those people that will throw up all kinds of road blocks so they don't have to do something. I've heard all of these - too tired, too sick, I can't get there, I'm black, I'm too fat. None of which was a real reason in that case. They ALWAYS have an excuse to not do something. If you push them, they often get nasty. Tough nuggies, I've worked with a broken back and other real problems. More pain than I knew I could feel. I got my job done.
The money isn't free. Someone will have to pay for that program. If Zuck can figure a way to pay for it without us paying for it, fine. He needs to realize that he's feeding someone fish instead of teaching them how to fish. This is a very old lesson. Learned thousands of years ago. They had lazy people back then too. They teach this and other real life lessons in something called a church.
Or bring the American cards up to European standards. They could have done that with the last switchout. In fact they *COULD* have made it more secure than the European standard. But no. Too hard or some such bullshit excuse.
Probably take them 20 years to decide to upgrade again unless there's a really big problem.
Android pay, apple pay - I was using that. In the case of Android they changed something so it didn't work anymore. So I had to get a new version of their pay, which doesn't want to work with the terminals anymore. It works, if you're patient. Apple has been spotty. Some places it just works, others it works sometimes. It's such a pain that I simply still use the credit card. I'm out of there sooner.
Well, that's a captain obvious moment if I ever saw one. Nothing since he's been over seas. I think I would have fired them after the first few days, it was that obvious to me.
They need to start charging people. Law enforcement knows how to do it. So called shake the tree. Then put them in jail. They'll have to wait at least 8 years, maybe more before a Democrat can get back in to release them and other criminals and terrorists.
Not just there, however. There is a big leak in the CIA, and clearly FBI. Someone way high in the FBI to have access to Comey's memo. Unless the memo bit was just utter bullshit, which I suspect it was. Beyond yellow journalism. The press is into political war. Just like a petulant child.
So which part of the 20th century? On air where you have 3-5 channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox)? or later where we had around 100 channels and still nothing to watch?
Channels are good for themes. Such as discovery, or history. Even then they get caught up in crap, like the whole nothing but naked shows.
Getting away from that, how would you ever find something interesting? Like breaking bad, through the wormhole, etc.
40 hour week, I know they're being very generous. I manage a whole bunch of practitioners. I make them give me a weekly report. I found that it's a lot closer to 50% of their time, if not more.
There are all kinds of time wasting problems. Users that change something and it can't possibly be something to do with what they just changed. Has to be the firewall or security. Then there is the "I read where microsoft is vulnerable to ______________. " They will want a report on progress and such. Good example is Poodle, the recent wannacry. All kinds of useless meetings on this. The actual problem was simple to fix and was fixed quickly. We were having meetings on Poodle 6 months later talking about it. Why? Dumb people again.
All kinds of useless paperwork. Some people think paperwork makes them more secure. Government is famous for this. What a waste of time. On the other hand, I know a lot of people simply wouldn't do security on Windows machines because it would break them. No amount of paperwork seemed to make them actually do their jobs.
Someone with 3 years or less of Cobol experience is someone that knows just enough to screw the code up good. They'd be better transliterating it into Perl. It'll probably run just fine for the next 50 years or so.
Sure. It's a business. They invested the time to make a virus that works, why not try to make as much money off it as they can. I'm surprised they haven't re-launched it. New kill switch.
They were too cocky. Wannacry? Just begs for clickbait. Everyone wanted to see if there was any carnage. Should have named it Sugarpops or FreeHealthCare, nobody would have looked then.
Couldn't agree more. I see a lot of agencies doing this. One agency just spent a whole bunch of money to buy a bunch of appliance. Then was upset when she realized they all had to be secure and compliant with Federal regulations. We're talking probably a dozen or so physical machines. In the past machines like that were usually $30K a pop, and that was 20 years ago. I bet these were more like $50K pop and all to give an API that probably nobody will use. Seems to be the latest fad, just like Google boxes were years ago. I see them in the back hallways a lot lately, ready to be sent out for surplus.
Why is this even up for discussion? I know from personal experience in Cancer that in the 1980s it was a mis-mash of science. If you had lung cancer in 1985 the conventional wisdom was to write out your will today because it's not going to be very long. Today people walk around and can live for decades with lung cancer. Of course it depends on which type. However today there is a whole protocol around it. Doesn't matter if you go to the Mayo clinic, John Hopkins or Nowhere's ville Montana. They do the same tests, send them to the same places and the treatment is all the same. I've seen it over and over again across the country. And this is Cancer.
So how come with antibiotics, why is this so hard? All they have to do is publish the wisdom of when to use them and when not to. Patient insists on something - Tough. We also need a campaign in schools and in the public to get people to take their medicine as directed and not stop because they feel better. I run into people all the time that stop because they feel better and they don't want to "get hooked", or take drugs needlessly... and some other excuses.
That's not how it works. When "the government" decides how to restrict thing, it's not a democracy, republic, anything like that. It's an un-elected regulator. He wants to make "the right decision." That means - do you *NEED* an 800 HP car? Of course not. How about a 500 HP car? Of course not. He could decide 300 HP is all the power you'll ever need. End of story, that's it. Even then, that could be for say high end models. For the typical family sedan, all you *Need* is 80 HP.
Prove the first one? Ok, not hard to find. There's a search engine for that called Google. He's referring to the now thoroughly discredited inconvenient truth film. That really was a load of bullshit.
Just admit you've believed the lies from the left. No shame in it because they've spent billions to make people believe it. There is shame if you don't realize you're wrong and still believe it. Read where Eric Holder let him off the hook like Democrats always do for each other. Even if they get put in jail, they let them out in droves when they get control of the White House. Even convicted terrorists that killed people.
I think if we could just stop fighting ourselves we would have owned the desktop years ago. KDE, Gnome... and so on and so forth. Windows - well you have just Windows. Don't like it? Tough. With Linux if you don't like it? Make yet another distro.

Thanks for the thought.
Sounds like we have a new Howard Hughes. All he needs to be is crazy as well and become a recluse.
Always thought the Amiga was a zombie. Itttttt's baaaaack! (Show girl turning her head completely around)

It would be really cool if this took energy away from you such that you burn fat.

Nah, That's so 2016. Just as the Chinese. Just send 'em $5 and they'll pop it right in the mail to you.

And a comment from someone really clueless. On so many levels.

You missed the point. LInux didn't have the security bug in the first place.
