  1. Born since the last spring ? on DoJ search requests: Yahoo, AOL, MSN said "Yes" · · Score: 1

    This must be some kind of plot set up by some kind of Power because it sounds so ridiculeous, seriously, who needs all that data to know what you can know by just typing the requests your-self. Must be set up by the same people who like having a date stamp on your printers or magnetic code on your money(ps: use a magnet on your money if you want to verify this, your money will be attracted).

    Well said. The same applies for their "foreign torture is okay" and "it's okay to intercept communications if they are not ours".

  3. Re:It's it reality on Is There Still Racism in IT Hiring Practices? · · Score: 1

    Before I joined the organisation for which I work for, I had a bias toward women in IT(because most women I knew back then did'nt know much about IT). The company I joined has a good ratio of women. Since the first day I worked there, I have to say that impressed by the women. They are realy smart and skilful(most than other women I meet before). I can easly say that women where I work are equal as men in IT(just like men, some are better than others).

    Never forget that everyone is equal, but some are more than others =D
    I hope my English is not too bad, I'm not English.

    I quite agree with this, they are places were I applied they had to get women "before" they get me to meet their 25-50% women ratio or whatever the ratio was. I don't think it's a good idea to hire someone because of a reason like this, I think THIS is racism/sexism. But now I'm in, I'm happy every time they are new women :p

  5. Re:I don't even know the race of most of our IT st on Is There Still Racism in IT Hiring Practices? · · Score: 1

    You have to realize something about those jobs. It's not an hasard that they are being out-sourced, it's that no one, in his right mind like to do such a job, except if they are paid very big bucks for it. That would had happened sooner or later. People move on from these jobs to better things, specialy since everyone are getting more and more frustrated with the technology becoming more and more complex every day. Frustrating technology makes frustrating businesses that makes frustrating people and frustrating people make frustrating businesses that look at alternative technologies for even more frustrating results! is'nt that great!

  6. Racism perception IT, let's see who own who on Is There Still Racism in IT Hiring Practices? · · Score: 1

    I remember once a game I played that if you were wearing glasses, you were appearing 10 to 20% smarter than you really were to other people. Guess what, this is true in IT. If you wear glasses, chances that you get hired in IT are highter.

    Ps: Do not apply this concept to girls, wearing glasses will scare away 10 to 20% girls.

  7. Situation here is like this... on Has Corporate Info Security Gotten Out of Hand? · · Score: 1

    Security : Top-notch

    Users: Some give away their personnal passwords(for legit purposes) instead to ask to the right persons to create new accounts.

    Impact on security : The security becomes useless.

    This is a problem in many large organisations, specialy when dealing with people who know about nothing about computers and security.

  8. And in Other News on Bad Press For Gold Farmers Affects Chinese Players · · Score: 1

    The contribution from Semen Farmers to the Fertility clinics has been great this year.

    A Semen Farmer commented that watching internet pr0n 12 hours a day was the best job he had yet. The boss quotas are quite hard to reach but I do my best, "today I almost filled a bottle" he added.

  9. In Canada on NCC Calls for Laws to Protect User Rights · · Score: 3, Insightful
    'Consumers face security risks to their equipment, limitations on their use of products, poor information when purchasing products and unfair contract terms.'

    Sounds like the Cellular Industry in Canada.

    Back to the topic, IMO DRM encourages piracy as the "legit" has less options about what he can do with his product than the "pirate".
