Well then ... I guess I misconstrued your earlier post since I thought you didn't know why it wasn't showing up ... and you gave the answer right there: the guys who manage that system in your company have intentionally set it up that way.

Misinterpret / overreact much? This article does harm? Just how does it cause harm when it says that fad diets are fads? Or that adults can do whatever they want but should not do stupid and empirically harmful shit to children?

Caller ID on your cell phone is available, just as you remember on Granny's hardwired home phone; and just as it was on Granny's phone, it's an "additional cost" service. You have pay for the service if you want it.

I'm thinking your problem with messages is service dependent ... I have an app on my Android handset called "Visual Voice Mail" provided by my service. It shows me when I have voice mail, what time it came it, what number it came from, how long the message is, and I can delete, listen to, or even archive each message…

I see a serious problem here ... "first day of the week" and "why the calendar week starts on Sunday" are two different things, and this article/blog post did not actually address either.

A) how is this even news

Fair enough ... I'm rarely if ever in a position to actually do the shitting, but participate in the team conversations that may influence the decision by management to shit on the new guy ;-)

Jeeminy Christmas! We need the Guillotine! Use a computer to trip the switch so that no person has to feel any "executioner's guilt". Relatively swift and painless compared to all the traditional American ways of execution. A bit messy perhaps, but just make other death row inmates clean up afterwards.

Not surprised at all. I know that many people just don't understand that any time they give any personal information to a company, that info is likely being put into a computer database and sold to other companies to do with as they please. There are few, if any, controls over what a business can do with info that…

There are many many situations like this in every field, the world over. As one of the old guard in my career field, I would always be hesitant to jump on some new kid's effusive rainbows-and-unicorn-farts ideas. Why? Because many times, even a seemingly minor change has long range impacts to productivity. If you want…

It's the cycle of life. I'm one of those 'outside consultants' who steps on your hard work. Do you know why that happens? It ain't because what we are selling is better, it's that someone in your company's management chain has a beef with someone else in the company, and wants to shit on their day. Director X has an…

I'm gonna step in at your #2 to defend the 'stupid' people who move into management ... technology changes hella fast ... almost everything you learned in college CIS classes (or ITT if that's where you got your training, lol) is obsolete in 5 years. Even the most stable of technology work areas — desktop support —…

I never understood all the sturm und drang over the title ... all the people that were kvetching when it came out that "Edge of Tomorrow" didn't make sense are clearly blithering dunderheads. That title was absolutely perfect ... Our Hero was always just on the EDGE of tomorrow ... never quite reaching the next day,…

Sorry, DD, not saying you factually misstated anything ... I just felt that the tone of the posting (and much more in the reader comments than what you wrote up there) was that all the flaws of the Hummer were directly and only GM's fault. Yeah, the bad engine conking out unexpectedly, whether under military use in…

fyi ... Hummer H1 was neither designed by, nor built by, GM. It was both designed and built by AM General, who licensed the "Hummer" brand name and the H1 model to GM.

Just to clarify what other respondents are insinuating ... specifically regarding the quality of the product ... military gear, just like civilian gear, is designed and built to a price point. Hence you get shit that breaks or simply does not work as advertised.

Ummm ... actually no. GM did not design or build the HMMWV (aka Humvee ... HUMMER is the civilian model only, the military models are ALL called Humvee). They were designed and build by AM General. That company began building and selling the civilian HUMMER in 1999, then sold the rights to GM. GM only designed/made…

On my very few instances of attempting to trade in a vehicle, I've discovered that (at least out here in Cali) the dealers will usually consult the NADA guide and not KBB. In the past (it's been a few years since I had any personal dealings in this matter), NADA provided anywhere from 25% to 50% lower trade-in…

Reading about that brought back a buncha memories ... specifically, memories of all the B-grade WW2 war movies I watched as a child where a heroic secondary character would inevitably slap a helmet on a grenade then throw himself on top of that in order to save his squadmates (similar scene also in the Captain America…

Respectable people use emoticons. And NEVER emojis.
