No, the bosses expert said Dell could provide a better server than anyone who actually builds systems can do.

They lost 4 terabytes of storage, 16 gigs of ram, and overpaid 2 grand because of that idiots advice.

I had a great job in the chicago suburbs working for a guy that owns garrets popcorn in chicago and has a crapload of jimmy johns franchises in Seattle. I worked in a spinoff tech investment and I tried to build a server for him, his expert said that there was no way to be sure the components I ordered would be compatible, and that Dell would be able to build a better server and support it than anyone else could.

I convinced my manager that his bosses expert was an idiot and ordered the parts. They arrived on a cold winter day and I let them sit overnight to defrost, when I came in the next morning to build the server, I had to box the parts up to ship them back and pay a restocking fee because the bosses expert wanted the dell with the warranty. A few months later I lost my job.

My advice? Just smile and nod. People who are tech idiots and have drinking buddies will always triumph over brains.

Boss: I need this wall built.

Programmer : Ok Boss! /builds wall/

Boss : Hey, Nice wall, but I need to make 22 changes to it to make it better

Programmer : That's going to take a re-write Boss, I was just told to build the wall!

Boss : You don't have time to re-write, just patch it like I directed in the meeting and go build the other wall!

Programmer : But if I patch I won't have time to bui

Boss : Get your ass to work, and get it done!

Again,

The active ingredient is NSAID.

There are no Aspirin brand tablets that have any other ingredient listed.

So all you can be sure of is that the "Aspirin" you have purchased contains an ingrdient that is the group of NSAID.

And I'll count a second coup now! Thanx!

When Netflix changed to their horrible "pause and scroll" method, I was one of thousands of users that protested.

I quit using their online site to look for movies because of it.

Add me to the list of those exiting when /. Classic is removed from the site.

Nope, I've reread it. I've still claimed the coup.

Have a nice day!

I never said it wasn't included with NSAID, so again I will post the link I posted earlier.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...

and include a snippet which I presume you might of missed..

The most prominent members of this group of drugs, aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen, a

"Group of drugs" - plural - when it says NSAID on the label it can be from a group of different drugs - So when you buy that brand name it might be ibuprofen, it might be naproxen, it might be acetylsalicylic acid.

All YOU know for sure is that the product you purchased contains a NSAID, regardless of what the brand name says. The name Aspirin is used when selling a NSAID. That means it contains one of the group of drugs that are summed up as NSAID. I'll bet that it's the cheapest of the bunch. Better for profits that way..

By the way, I have not tried to be rude or insulting in any manner. So I am collecting my coup.

Thanx!

So, would you like to place a wager that the active ingredient in Bayer is actually acetylsalicylic acid and not a cheaper variant of a NSAID ?

Great! Awesome!

They Why is the active ingredient in most OTC remedies List NSAID and do not list "Aspirin"?

If it Contains acetylsalicylic acid (brand name Aspirin) then it should Say "Aspirin" or "acetylsalicylic acid" instead of NSAID , Right?

In fact why do NONE of them list "Aspirin" or "acetylsalicylic acid" ?

read the ingredients.

All the "aspirin" I've seen for humans has the active ingredient of NSAID - not acetylsalicylic acid.

When I went to the walgreens pharmacy and asked for acetylsalicylic acid they looked it up in their book and that's only contained iiin "Powdered Aspirin" which they do not sell anymore. I went to 8 different places and not one type OTC medication had acetylsalicylic acid listed.

I only found it in an animal feed place, as a pain reducer for horses and pigs.

Now, wiki had this to say

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...

Which means it may contain "Aspirin" , but did they use acetylsalicylic acid - why not list it?

Why do we need to introduce dark matter to get the math to work out?

So someone that has a theory can make money pursuing it?

I live in the upper midwest and I rescued a deep south catahoula. When the temp drops and the air dries out I have to clean his ears often since they dry out and develop some yuck in them. If I don't clean out the ears with q-tips or a wet rag, he'll start scratching them with his hind leg and cause himself some pain.

If I notice that he yelps when scratching, and kick myself for missing a cleaning, I clean up the ear with a warm wet rag, then swipe it with some benedryl gel, then feed him a "doggie aspirin" that my parents gave me that they had for their dog he's fine.

So a month or two ago, Beaker yelped, , so I cleaned him up, and did the bendryl bit, and went for the aspirin, but couldn't find it. So I drove to the open vet (it was a sunday) that I stopped going to over two years ago since they decided that all dogs they treated !!!HAD TO HAVE A YEARLY FECAL EXAM!! or else they wouldn't care for the dog.

I asked them why they had to have !!!A MANDATORY FECAL EXAM!!! once a year when if the dog had one, and the did some coprophagia a bit later, the MANDATORY FECAL EXAM was just a useless waste of money. They refused to answer.

So, since they were the only ones in the area that were open, I asked them for doggie aspirin. The lead Nurse looked at me like I was an idiot. I explained all I needed was an analgesic to help my dog from suffering for a day or so and I was informed that I had to pay 120 for the vet to look at the dog before I could get any help.

I tried to explain that i knew exactly what his problem was, and just wanted to ease some irritation for a day or two, but I was stonewalled.

Turns out that my doting parents with the "Doggie Aspirin" were referring to GNC's "Dog Aspirin" which is just acetylsalicylic acid. Humans can't have that any more, but it's still the pill of choice for horses, cows, pigs, and yes, dogs. Like anything, it's to be used sparingly with feeding, and a dose of that once in a great while helps if your animal is in pain.

Beaker did just fine on one tablet. Needless to say, the money mill that refuses to treat animals unless they get their tithe - does not get any cash from me. It pisses me off to no end that you can't walk into a vet and explain the problem and just get some simple pain medication for an animal without tithing the high priest.

When I was a kid I snapped out fast answers and interrupted everyone because I knew I was right.

I'm coming close to being half a century old, and yes, I do stop and try to dumb things down for my nephews.

My parents were dumb when I was a kid, and now they show me how i might of been a bit less smarter than I thought I was. With age comes wisdom.

Make it so?
