I think the biggest ‘slap-in-the-face’ I ever received from an interviewing company, was one in the East, where after the one-hour ‘up-front’ meeting with staff, I went to the one-hour ‘one-on-one’ (or two) with the company President and Vice-President to discuss more-detailed mission tasks, overall goals, workforce…

Actually, I’ve encountered this more than once in older life. Holding three degrees (two are Graduate degrees), and with 30-years of experience in my career field, the big ‘over-qualified’ problems I’ve encountered are NONE of what was mentioned in the article, and are more focused towards: 1. “Will our top pay for…

Wow, then Netflix’s rating system is FAR MORE BROKEN than I ever suspected. They are NEVER within 1-full-star from what I would rate something, often rate my 4-stars as 1-stars, etc. You’d have a lot more success LISTENING to the customer, instead of pulling a Microsoft and deeming customers ‘unworthy of directly…

I do doubt that any state protects the intruder’s right to not be recorded on audio, but if you are unable to record audio in your own home due to the 2-party consent rule, I recommend you immediately sell and move to the other 48 or so states that don’t see it this way.

I ran into this some time back, and have to agree with you Archer322. Outside is a ‘gray’ area (depends on ‘public’ vs ‘private’ interpretation, based on ‘can it be seen from public domain?’), but in most-states, this transitions to private-property laws at the ‘can’t see me’ point. Consider, I live on 100-acres of…

This is actually a bad policy, in general. In my professional career, I hired over 480 people, and terminated 82. Looking back at the ‘whys’ of most terminations, they were the result of ‘over-self-entitlement’ (people that left it to others to tell them, ‘no’, they couldn’t take off an extra day, ‘no’, they couldn’t…

Actually, you should NEVER plug a ‘steering axle’ tire, due to the high risk of ‘rip’ of the rubber starting at the puncture point. While ‘plugs’ work decent in bias-ply tires (hardly seen on automobiles anymore), radials don’t perform well on plugs, even when every rule (never near a sidewall, never on a steering…

I really have to say, this is a ‘perfect storm’ of failure. In reality, it doesn’t work like most of Star Trek shows (thus, following the advice is a script-for-failure). Much akin to saying, ‘NO, I am not a brain surgeon, but I did stay at a Motel 8 last night’. It is really nothing more than ‘pop-psychology’…

One word...bidet. That says it all.

Also, thank the Great Spaghetti Monster that my Oster Blender was a ‘real purchase’. I would NEVER want those guys wandering around my kitchen at 2:00AM, trying to figure out how to install more Malware into that thing than is already obviously in it!

If you don’t like the way Microsoft ‘updates’ Win 7, wait a week, they’ll change it again. It is so unfortunate we can’t expect ‘old product’ to remain the same (like, oh, say a ‘65 Mustang). Just imagine if Ford kept sneaking into your garage every day, week, month, whatever; and kept forcing upgrades on you (that…

Most of the loss of airline business can be attributed to two things, a decrease in the economy and people fed up with TSA abuses. My company stopped traveling after repeated TSA issues related to personal treatment during security checks, and went to online conferences and simple ‘drive-commute’ to closer customers.…

FYI, the point made, for those who aren’t aware of Linux strengths, is that Linux has no ‘file name limitation’. If I want a 1000-level deep path to a file name, it’s mine to create. After all, what’s the big deal about a filename, right? Obviously, MS thinks you should be limited (there’s that word again).

Everytime I read an article like this, I instantly become thankful (once again) that I use Linux. From AV to malware, spyware and the ever-intrusive MS ‘metadata and more’ backup ever-performed on your Win-PC, it’s always obvious that MS systems are made for the base-user, and Linux for those who want more. We won’t…

I also have a ‘50-Greatest SEGA Games’ disc...but the only way I’d break down on a RPi project to emulate it would be if some rare soul ported ‘Chakkan’ to play on the RPi...then, I’ll surrender, and drop a Cray mainframe’s value into getting this thing working!

The ‘neatness’ of this SCREAMS ‘DO-IT!’, but being as I have a PS3 with a ‘50 Greatest Nintendo Games’ disc, as well as not enough time to work AND sleep, I think I’ll have to let this one go...

A ‘seriously Microsoft’ indemic problem. The answer to ‘locker-ransom-ware’ is Linux. You really would have to go out of your way to get slammed if you use a ‘Linux-Only’ solution (as in putting untrusted PPAs into your repository). It would be VERY informative to see a break-down, by OS, of who gets hit with this…

I think I have ‘paradigm poisoning’...I keep seeing it as a Linux-Blackberry, at best. I’ve always envisioned a singular sheet-layout (like the C.H.I.P), but thicker, maybe solid lexan 0.75" thick, with routed relief in the back pane for an RPi, routed reliefs in the front for a 7" touchscreen and a micro-keyboard, so…

Not really sure where this fits into my ‘Linux-RPi’ work room. I mean, I’ve got RPi’s laying around (like dead little PCB mice...tails missing). I’ve got configured 7-inch Eleduino touch screens, I’ve got micro and roll-up keyboards, and more junk than any wife can complain about me spending money on. HOWEVER, I’m not…

FYI, doesn’t work, no matter how savvy the marketing is for the so-said feature. In fact, the only way to stop the ‘still-going-on’ update, is to read your router logs and block every single port that MS uses to ‘malware’ the update to your system, else it is ‘crippled’ from what it was, and worked like 5-years ago.…
