Rolled in at 4pm - when he wanted.

The problem is when you start at 8am, work all day, waste time in meetings - then have to stay til 10pm every night to meet some deadline so that a sales guy gets a bonus.


Luxury .... We used to have to get up 10mins before we went to sleep, toggle the OS into a turing machine with our teeth and pay SAP for doing it.....


Yes they admire the flinty eyed self reliant cowboy - while he collects his farm subsidy check and writes his humvee off as a work truck.


MS calls the shots.

Asus can ship a linux machine, but then they will have to go and buy the copies of Windows for all their other machines from BestBuy


Considering that Microsoft just announced they're going to be licensing ARM cores, maybe they're realizing Intel isn't going to work for future mobile devices.


Not just Asus: The original mini was small and cheap, the new mini is the size (and cost) of a low end BMW - ditto the VW Golf and Beatle


Company hires a new senior manager.

All the engineers that report to him start to leave.

The company decides the manager is the problem.

The company actaully fires the manager instead of blaming the engineers!!!!!


Do we really know that engineers left (or wanted to leave) the company because of him?


No that's just what they told HR and the blogosphere - they may have all left to become supermodels.


No I mean besides the anonymous comments on TC, has anyone confirmed that this really happened?


Isn't that rather the point of opensource? I rely version 2.xx of Blah, i want security fixes to version 2 without being forced to update to blah 7, with all it's new incompatibilities and bugs, just because somebody has a sales target


Not planning on going quite that far - but we are thinking of saving $200,000 by buying a one bedroom apartment with a few Kindle's instead of a 2Bed place with lots of bookshelves.

All the DVDs are already ripped to a couple of hard drives, the disks but in DJ CD files and the cases thrown away - that saved a 6' bookcase.


Happened in the UK, the same parents also overturned a ban on kids having cell phones.

Apparently it's vital for their safety that they keep a 1W 1.8Ghz transmitter glued to their head at all times, but it's lethal to have a 100mW 2.4Ghz transmitter in another room.


Not to mention all the 10-100 W 400-800 THz transmitters they have in all the rooms. Worryingly, there are two structures in children's skulls, near the brain, that are particularly sensitive to these frequencies!

And I expect the average child emits more electromagnetic radiation than a wifi transmitter. Children should obviously be banned from schools then.


Not a problem with "Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses"


To what Thz transmitters are you referring?


GP probably means high-bandwidth ones like these:

Yes, although in UK schools they tend to be the ones more like this: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LAFL16.html


Well as a physicst I say you can't understand a computer unless you understand the wavefunction of an electron crossing a potential barrier. So ner-ner-ni-ner-ner.....
