  1. Re:How to deal with workplace issues on Dealing w/ Relocation Package Bait and Switch? · · Score: 1

    Steal every red Swingline you can get your hands on.

  2. Recruiting on Dealing w/ Relocation Package Bait and Switch? · · Score: 1

    I worked recruiting for a while back in the lste 80's. Could not deal with the deceit and misrepresentation. I am not at all surprised at your experience. If a recruiter's lips were moving, he was probably lying. If the job was worth a crap, the company would probably not need a recruiter.

  3. Re:It still is pretty kewl on It Does Little and Not Very Well · · Score: 3, Funny

    Thank you. And I hope you have a long and prosperous career with Nokia.

  4. Re:What about Security? on Beginning Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 1

    Given time, and in the unlikely event Linux ever reaches desktops in great numbers, Linux will be compromised regarding security as much or more than Windows has.

  5. Not so sure... on Computer Science as a Major and as a Career · · Score: 1

    The enormous trade deficit and decline in manufacturing points to a differing trend. Articles such as the one cited are often published by IBM, Microsoft, and the like. Note they themselves benefit from such articles, possible results being an increase of engineering talent in the marketplace. The law of supply-and-demand being what it is, said talent would also be cheaper.

  6. Simple solution. on Overwhelming Bureaucracy in the IT Department? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Simply break the machine in question. Be sure to inform the boss of the unfortunate situation. Not only will you get a day of light duty, but the problem in question will be IT's priority number one.

    Ah, velly good.

  8. Linux for the Masses on Why Do People Switch To Linux? · · Score: 1

    Being something of a nerd, but nowhere the COMPLETE nerd others may be, having no interest in programming, I have found Linux to be an interesting toy. Eventually, Linux broke and took out my entire dual-boot hard drive. I reinstalled everything. Now, I'd only install it on a separate drive. Never could get my wi-fi card installed (I know - don't use one). The average user cannot reprogram his computer to fix some programmer's omissions, doesn't want to -- or need to. That's what Windows is for.
