When your workforce is so unstable that you might be crushed at any moment by a strike, you hide behind layers of bureaucracy. The system turns to chaos.
Yeah, those Chinese are smug right now but wait until they face their first strike with unionized workers asking for hardwood chopsticks and extra lead in their toothpaste.
Razor products are just shitty. I've purchased only one item from them
I guess you were filling the RMA form for your mouse instead of going to school the day they taught statistical inference. Also maybe instead of getting a Razer mouse you actually got a "Razor" mouse which may be a chinese knockoff, that would explain the low quality.
What you need is to work out a good taxonomy, and that can be done easily with a whiteboard. Once everyone is clear on the classification and processes, then you can decide if "Bob's system" is the right implementation or not.
Technology can be an enabler for business (or non-profit) but selecting the tool should be the last step in any IT project, not the first one (unless you believe in SAP but then it's a whole different problem).
From a quick count, 8 posters made the same joke (many after you), and this represents roughly 5% of the comments at the moment of counting. This should not come as a surprise in a world where more tweets and facebook status are posted than read, yet I can't help but feel disappointed.
You did not really ruin my day however, because when I called my voodoo priest to put a curse on you he told me that his daughter is single again (the unpleasant boyfriend was mysteriously stoned to death while alone in a stalled elevator) so I'm taking her out tonight and I'm definitely gonna tap me some of that black magic. Meanwhile since I noticed that other people made the same joke after you I altered the curse and made it a wildcard, which means you will only get a fraction of the misery unleashed by the death of a small goat. Pinga!
I hope this will be a learning experience for you. Also please note that wussiness (i.e.: giving an explanation instead of quietly accepting a blame from a stranger about posting a joke someone already posted on Slashdot) is one of the least attractive attitudes one can exhibit, and it is made even worse by a fake apology. As for posting a true apology, it's a good idea only for females as studies have shown that it makes men look weak.
11 is getting crowded with 11/11, 9/11 and 7/11. I suggest that the next important event or big convenience store chain use another common denominator.
And everybody else figured out that you don't read the other comments or you would have seen that a bunch of people made the same joke already. You must be one of those write-only readers.
Forget preCheck or not preCheck, the real question is to know if there is a code or keyword that can be printed on the ticket to prevent TSA agents from stealing iPads and money from the luggage or from the scanner basket.
Thinking of that, maybe the TSA is actually doing a good job: I'm not afraid of hijackers anymore, I'm afraid of getting robbed by the TSA Fingermen.
Skeuomorphic is not eye-candy, it's an obsolete approach that was never pretty to start with. Not sure if the colored squares in Metro or the 2-color palette in Office 2013 and VS 2012 are the answer but at least it does not look like korean cars fake wood panels.
Yes, because youtube is a certified truth holder! everything on youtube is true!
I don't know which one is more credible: 1) the grainy, poorly edited video taped from a Eastern European news broadcast that shows that the watch has been stolen 2) the "unbiased evidence" from NBC assisted by the White House people that shows that the watch has not been stolen
Since the same administration had evidence of WMDs in Iraq, which was relayed by NBC as well as other "credible" medias, I'm still on the fence.
This video was even on the same damned page on Youtube labeled "President Bush's watch NOT stolen".
Great achievement, you discovered how to use related videos in Youtube! Now if you can tone down on the insults and do a little more thinking instead, you will possibly find out what was meant by my first comment, and that would probably bring us all back to the fact that anything that came after the said comment could have been avoided if you had done the thinking part immediately.
Gwad, what fucking morons post here sometimes.
I have to agree with you on that one [*].
[*] See, that's how adults tell to someone what they think about him without using a foul language. Geez, it's definitely a great learning experience for you today!
At my company we're building our application delivery model to work from anywhere on any device. You could run on a tablet, phone, computer running any OS. Thanks to Citrix.
Is it in production? If not, your company is in that interesting situation of building today products according to yesterday's vision of tomorrow.
For years analysts have scared the good IT folks with their prediction of BYOD. But the reality is that BYOD does not take off. It's in the "trend that never happened" category, along with VDI and generalized telecommute.
If Apple had any long-term vision, instead of raping its existing customer base with new adapters for an existing product line they would pony up the pocket change needed to buy RIM at the moment and they would get in the enterprise world by the front door, because the number of companies that move (and stick) to BYOD instead of having a standard device (or series of devices) is a drop in the bucket.
Anyways giving any kind of value to predictions from some dude at Salesforces.com is like asking people at Nokia where the mobile industry is going.
Let's not forget that the reason these people steal phones is because there's a market - plenty of other people happy to get a phone cheap off craigslist.
They don't just sell stolen phones on Craigslist: I paid $35 for an iPhone that came with lots of music and cool pictures and the seller said it was not stolen. It was a real bargain because I was able to trade some of the pictures for a discount membership on nakedgirlfriend.com and I also used the music to prepare a nice mixtape for my neighbor's quinceañera.
Not only off-topic, you are also bad at trolling. Also I wonder how "families" can understand technology as a group; how do you aggregate individual expertise? Is the family understanding based on the highest, lowest, average or median understanding of individuals? And does "family" apply only to parents and children living under the same roof, or only to those sharing a computer? You need to provide more details about your deep analysis of how Linux solves the problem of choosing a free antivirus.
Slashdot Mirror
It was a well-known fact that Democrats are sore losers, now we discover they are also sore winners. Plus they don't got a sense of humor.
Irony is hard to detect over the interwebs.
So I'm going to play it on the safe side and say: "Fuck the Chinese AND the Far East."
Interwebs are indeed tricky, I was sure this was a thread about assisted suicide. Please also note that America IS China's Far East.
If this is über-sarcasm, kudos. Otherwise I think Fouad could teach you a few things.
Unions are parasites that ruined American labor.

Things are going really wrong since Obama got reelected. Also now he can't blame the previous administration anymore!
Basically the mouse is so hypersensitive with insane DPI that you have to run their software to mod it down.
Based on my experience, a few beers and half an Ambien also works.

If you're going to pick that kind of nit, then it was encrypted.
read the article: the bird died in the chimney, there was no crypt involved.

Never under estimate the value of eye candy.

Sounds like a win win for everybody, especially people who never understood what Keynesian Economics actually is.
A "win win for everybody" is an exponential win except for people who never understood what "win win" means.

Wonder how long that would last if you stole a politicians phone?
If a politician has his phone stolen, the phone has never existed. It's called the Bush Watch Principle.

I know that one: mix brown rice, lentils, onions, garlic, yams, plantains, green peas and jamaican jerk flavor until it becomes a vegetable stew.
You must be one of those persons who read tomorrow's comic on their dilbert calendar.
