the correct answer is to raise one finger in salute and find a job without a batshit-crazy manager.
I cant help but think that people who suggests you just quit your job still live in their parents basement without any bills to pay.
I have a mortgage to pay and a child to feed.
Just because times are pretty good right now there is no guarantee I can find a new job.
Have you paused to consider that maybe it was done under anonymity to preserve whatever karma they may have here on/., and not because of fear of governmental persecution?
Private sites with ratios are in my experience not worth the effort.
Quite frankly I get better transfer speeds from the public torrents. When it comes to torrents, the more peers the better. Private sites have their place. Especially sites with narrow content. In many cases transfer speed is not an issue, finding the stuff at all is often enough. Ratio is just a way to try to ensure some modicum of "play nice" among members for those places. With the grace period most have "hit and run" members are a problem even then.
1. VoIP (something like Packet8) or company-paid cell phone, probably a nextel group plan. Actually, Skype conferencing should work good enough.
You really should go with company-paid cell phones. That way you can work from anywhere, this is the biggest perk of working without an office. VoIP only works (good) with a stable internet connection and no hotspot can guarantee that.
Those employees had better be damned dedicated to the company if no centralized physical space exists anymore. You will find yourselves meeting in a lot of places. Maybe just downgrade the space to something like a meeting room you can rent a few times a week. As someone who's been working in a virtual office for 3 years I agree, a meeting place is essential. You should have (in my opinion) at least one physical meeting per week and one phone meeting per day to stay connected to your co-workers.
And you need a different approach to management. If you have a bad boss (as I did) you can get less information and feedback. Out of sight out of mind...
I'm looking forward to getting a desk and co-workers again, at a new job in a month.
It was designed for a novelty that gets old after 15 minutes? Nothing against the Wii, but Wii Sports is a tech demo, and nothing to get excited about. 15 minutes for you but hours of fun for many many others.
Wii's new controller deserves recognition, it's the most innovative thing to come to gaming in a long time.
Ya. This is what happend to me on my home PC. I used to be a dual boot guy user but now I don't bother. With XP windows has gotten stable enough for me. I have cygwin for most of my *nix cravings and wmvare for when that's not enough.
I use my puter for editing photos, watching movies and playing games.
does the creepiness compare with The Suffering? That damned game I had my character tiptoeing around corners and peeking before stepping through -any- hallway... that game was actually scary. Does FEAR compare?
No, not in my opinion.
FEAR had some creepy cutscenes but gamplay is not scary at all.
It's in no way a bad game just not scary.

And remember, you don't need stamps to write your MP! Really? Where?
It's a very good idea. I wish we had somthing like that here in Sweden.
So karma is worth more than conviction?
And I would never answer a call from someone with a hidden number.
It's a rude and mostly used by telemarketers.
I have too much to do to even consider talking to persons who hide who they are.
Would you open the door to someone hiding their face?
Could i trouble you for a name of this profiler or a perchance link?
Talking sense when it comes to copyright issues on slashdot!!!
Shame on you.

Very true.

Is 12cm bad? Because mine was 11cm and I thought that was close to a foot. Am I wrong? Emphasis mine
What happend to it?
1. Did you have a tragic accident?
2. Did you find a "MAK3 Y0U4R P3N1S HU63" advert that worked?
If #2 please send me the details!!!!! I have a "friend" is very interested.
