The move is shortsighted because it costs money to hire someone and the new person must then learn the culture, infrastructure, and the business.
No they'll just hire some idiot Indian slave labor and offshore them. Cisco's been at this for over 10 years.
Have we become a country so corrupt that we now have to record *everything* in order to have even a modicum of justice? You can't get Comcast to not perform mail fraud unless you have a recording of them saying they won't do it, they only way to NOT have a police officer beat you to death for "resisting arrest" is to record it.
The cop will still beat you to death. We know this, because it's been recorded and it still happened.
As to your question about our corruption, yes. That is where we are at and you can thank Obama for a lot of it. He picks and chooses what laws he'll enforce. It's set a dangerous and deadly precedent in our nation. What's worse is, the next guy may be even less restrained than Obama.
Why should anyone follow the laws when Eric Holder and President Obama do not? Our system has lost its integrity and will likely never recover.
My wife works in HR and I'm finishing off the HR section of my MBA. It's not HR that does this. The HR people have an HRIS system that includes the ability to do forms etc. The managers are the ones that create the forms and guidlines, HR just shuffles the papers around. HR takes the blame because they are the face of the mess but in reality it's middle managers, or in my company they are called "talent managers" who have their heads so firmly up their asses that they convolute everything to the point even HR can't stand them.
Just yesterday I had to engage with my ISP's support folks to resolve a network speed issue. Fortunately, I had saved the chat sessions from when the same problem occurred two years ago. I ended up pasting part of a previous chat session into the current chat session so that the CSR could see what worked last time. Result: problem resolved in hours, not days
I too prefer chat but I ran into a problem while canceling CenturyLink service. They refuse to cancel unless you call them and speak to a "retention specialist". I was furious so I told them in chat that I was deaf and could not speak to a specialist by phone. They told me that was unfortunate but was the only way to cancel.
About 20 minutes of back and forth with them I informed them it was illegal to deny my request based on the people with disabilities act. Within 10 minutes they canceled my account via online chat. It's sad I have to lie to these mother fuckers to close an account. They basically ensured I will never, under any circumstances, do business with them again.
So -- the only explanation is that someone gave him an older form of the IQ test
Or he lied. He probably lied judging from his online persona.
Then why does newspaper columnist Marian vos Savant have a recorded IQ of 228?
I grew up there and moved away. There is zero difference in talent. The difference is one of leadership and money. The money is already there, so there is where people go. The difference in leadership is, that's where they choose to live. My current company is based out of Boise Idaho. All the top execs I can think of have homes in the San Jose area because they like the weather. So naturally, they've opened a few more offices over there to justify their move to San Jose away from Boise. This costs the company a great deal of money as the techs they hire are paid twice as much as here due to cost of living. They don't care though.

"his progress was retarded by his limp"
Just because you're a whiny bitch that doesn't understand the English language doesn't mean the rest of us can't use words for what they were inteded for. Now go fuck yourself.
Considering their lovefest for Gnome3 and Mac OSX and the way they strip usable features out left and right, their OS is definitely "elementary"
It's basically an OS for Mac OSX envious retards that get confused by minimize buttons and usable menu bars.
Um, you know you can just compile or download the packages for these other interfaces and run them on red hat 7 don't you? This isn't exactly hard to do.
All this is saying is that in three years when the law expires
...
Ahem. Laws don't "expire", but that's why I suppose you chose to post that comment under AC, instead of a proper username.
SIM-lock issue is no biggie, you can always simply buy the phone without telco as middleman.
You might be outside the US, but you literally cannot purchase a phone in the US without specifying which carrier you're going to bind that phone to, contractually. Not Samsung/HTC/LG/Motorola/Google, not Microsoft, not Nokia, not iPhone and not BlackBerry.
So you're luck to be outside the US. For the rest of us, we're stuck paying full price for phones off-contract, and still being held to carrier restrictions.
...and even if he doesn't sign it, it becomes law anyway, as long as Congress is in session.
I use this on my Android device with AdAway with tremendous success. I also use Android Firewall with some custom rules to block annoying apps from trying to send my data through servers in China, Romania, etc.
Here's my AdAway custom lists:

http://hosts-file.net/ad_serve...
http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/...
http://someonewhocares.org/hos...
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/ho...
Use these, and you'll have a nice, clean, tight setup. I also use Squid on my LAN, and my router is configured to send every packet through Squid (custom iptables rules on the router; a Buffalo Wireless running dd-wrt), and on the Squid side, I block about 12,000 separate ad URLs, domains and sites, so again, the experience for anyone on my segment, is nice and clean and fast.
The side benefit of Squid, is that I can see every single request, phone home, ping, malicious or otherwise, that my devices try to do, and I can permit, prohibit, redirect or block entirely based on schedule, as I wish.
You'd be surprised how chatty a standard iPhone and Android device are, without "training" on the Squid/AdAway side.
What this country needs is a good five cent microcomputer.
