  1. Re:What about personal things on Large Tech Companies Moving Beyond the Cubicle · · Score: 0

    I know exactly how to stake out my area...Eat 3 or 4 hard boiled eggs with a bunch of steamed asparagus every day. Drop a few bombs around your 'chosen' seat and throughout the day. If someone really gives you a hard time about the seat that you chose, drop trou and pee on it...mark your territory with asparagus urine, no one will dispute your space again. The bottom line is this, humans, despite what the flower children want us to believe, ARE territorial. We need space, how we use it defines us. Ever walk into someones cube and been revolted by the chaos? I bet that person knows exactly where everything is. Or how about that anal secretary who's paper clips are arranged 'dress right dress' across her desk? Now, imaging these two setting next to one another with no walls to secure their borders. It would make the UFC seem like Romper room.

  3. Kerio on Quality Open Source Calendaring / Scheduling? · · Score: 0

    I am using Kerio Mailserver for 3 of the business that I represent. It has calendaring and syncing capabilities that work with MS Outlook with a couple of free add ons. The cost is very reasonable and the few times that I could not find solutions in their forums, the tech support staff has been excellent. We eve started running their Winroute product for proxy, firewall, filtering and VPN. Unfortunately, in regard to the integration of Outlook, we don't use it here and there are no add-ons for Thunderbird or Lightning that have bidirectional capabilities. I will probably check out their forums again as it has been a few month, it may be more capable now.

  6. Re:Frankly... on How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth? · · Score: 0

    Yes, this is absolutely correct. However, our forefathers also felt that the government should fear the populace (2nd amendment) and they have no fear, because what is the absolute worse thing that can happen to a politician today? Maybe, not get re-elected? (Still going to get that great pension though)Be tried by his buddies who are doing the same shit that he is? (not likely, even if it happens I think that they just take away their birthdays) No need to fear any of that!
    What about that brave few who honestly want to make changes? They get bought out just like the others or are shouted over by the masses of empowered scumbags.
    I would suggest that we take up arms and do what our forefathers not only did themselves but also wanted us to do in such situations. Fight for what is ours. Unfortunately, most of the populace is too fat, dumb and happy so long as they get to watch "Survivor" or "Deal or No Deal" or what ever is being pumped out of Hollywierd these days. Add to that the fact that the "save the children" crowd and the likes of Opra, and Rosie, and Sheen, have eroded our ability to do so anyway, remember, *they* don't think that most of us are responsible enough to own guns to begin with.
    On that note, I find it tragically comical that the ass clowns who fight the hardest for anti-gun laws are also the ones that complain about the current state of affairs the most. If only they could truly see the irony of their situation now.
    Oh well....hopefully the Mayans and Nostradamus are right and the civilization will end/change in December of 2012...

    As mentioned above, a $400 dollar (please include tax and shipping damn it) would have done little to ease the self made suffering in N'Orleans. The people who remained, the ones that couldn't leave the city in the hours/days prior to the event, would have been confused by these bottles, even if they were given out for free. They would have simply complained that, while they had this filtration system, the evil G-Dub sealed them in plastic to prevent their use. To further exasperate the problem, G-Dub maniacally had the plastic encased bottles torturously hidden inside of a box.

  14. Re:It Figures... on Intern Loses 800,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 0

    You are missing the point. Why would an intern need to take a backup tape home with him to begin with? Why would ANYONE need to take backup tapes home with them? Why would an intern even have access to backup tapes without direct supervision? Especially data sources that contain identity information. Everyone involved with this fiasco, the director of the department, the project lead, the intern, the interns supervisor, the building security head, and the guard on duty, should face charges, fines and jail time, just like the flaming cock smokers that steal identities in other ways. I would hope that these kinds of consequences would instill a little more caution and respect for data. There is no reason that identity data should be removed from the main processing premises unless it is directly in route to a backup facility.

  15. Re:I am a victim .... on Intern Loses 800,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 0

    I think that every A-hole responsible for this should face the same charges that identify thieves face. Essentially, their incompetences is just as bad as a straight theft, not to mention they could conceivably have cooked this up to sell the the info a year or two down the road, when everyone thinks the data has cooled off some. This would also send a message to other in similar positions of responsibility, and hopefully, they will proceed with more caution.

  16. I am a victim .... on Intern Loses 800,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 0

    Last week I received a letter from the Ohio Department of Administrative Services. This is what I was told... An intern had taken *A* back up "device" home with him and it was stolen from his car, along with a radar detector and stereo. I asked "Why was an intern taking "back up devices" home with him?" The response "So that he could do work from home." I complained and asked to speak with the chud's supervisor because this made no sense (then I realized that this is the Gov'ment). The retard who called me back informed me that A. the "device" was a tape back up and that the drive it was created on had and I quote "misaligned heads" so the tape could only be read on that particular device. B. This was all done against procedure. And C. there is no need to worry because there is no evidence that the tape had been accessed. I received the supervisor's call when I was out of my office so I couldn't take down the retards name. otherwise I would have posted it.

    *SIGH* Why is it that everyone seems to think that Bush "lied" about WMDs? The WHOLE FRIGGAN WORLD warned us that Saddam WOULD use chemical weapons if we invaded. the Egyptians, the Saudis, the Russians, the Germans, even the by-god communist French said that we should prepare our civilians for the horrors that we would see on TV because of chemical weapons. SADDAM'S OWN STAFF said that they had a stock pile of chemical weapons. What about the 3 chemical IED that were found? or how about the mobile labs that were found and had traces of anthrax found on them? I guess those truths are just a little too convenient. As has been mentioned so many times before, if there was a real conspiracy to wage war against Iraq, why didn't GW just have some WMD's planted instead of saying that he listened to the intell that was handed to him and acted accordingly.
    Just a thought, what if Saddam had WMDs and used them or sold them to "Mr. I Americans?" and they were used on us? then the cry would be "why didn't Bush protect us?" and would would have lost perhaps hundreds of thousands of live. Anyone and I mean ANYONE who doesn't take the threat of WMDs seriously, has the IQ of a radish and should be killed, eaten, and replaced so that their DNA can no longer contaminate the gene pool.
    At least Bush, despite all of his faults, has at least DONE SOMETHING when attacked by the Jihadis. The ass clown who perjured himself, which as I recall IS a misdemeanor (all part of that High Crimes and misdemeanor thing) did NOTHING after the peaceful Islamics detonated a bomb under the WTC, did NOTHING, after our embassy in Kenya was bombed, except letting Bin Laden go when he was captured but a foreign government, did NOTHING, when the Cole was bombed, did NOTHING.
    Lets look at the record...Clinton 3 bombing, 1 released terrorist...Bush 911 attacks, tens or thousands dead terrorists and a couple thousand imprisoned....Looks like bush is doing a better job to me.
    The kind of people who try to claim "illegal war" or "blood for oil" or what ever liberal nonsense the libs like to spew, that would have turned their neighbors over to British troops in the 1700's. The same kind of people who have never had to really work to stay alive, or bleed for what they believe in because it is much easy to look at the smallest part of the picture and claim that the color is wrong. If they really felt so strongly about it they should go to I-hate-america-stan and Issue protest there. I'm sure they would welcome you, or at least stone you to death.
