who?

Look, if you wanna make it big time, make sure people in Arkansas hear your voice. If you can get people in Arkansas to recognize your brand, you are golden. (Think about it before bashing me, please.)

Actually, the voice in my head is from Icecrown Citadel's Professor Putricide...."Good news, everyone! I've fixed the poison slime pipes!" (during the Rotface encounter)

Considering GoDaddy didn't give a rats ass when they kept our website down for 2 weeks because they couldn't figure out how to manage ColdFusion (this happened right before they announced giving it up)....during this process in which they convinced us to PAY FOR 2 more years of ColdFusion hosting...in which 4 months into it they announced they were discontinuing ColdFusion.

It doesn't matter if you like or hate ColdFusion, the point was they offered it, we paid for it, and they spent 2 weeks dinking around getting it back up running after they moved the site around to non-ColdFusion servers (without our request or approval.). I didn't choose GoDaddy to begin with, I was just stuck having to support it until those decision makers were kicked to the door. Good thing the website isn't that important, in our business. (We host our own email.)

I personally grinned. Nothing annoys the shit out of me more than IT people that treat other IT people like crap and feed us full of crap (and we know it the minute they say it) and get paid so much to do it when you know damn well they don't do their job worth a crap.

Sorry. Off tangent. Maybe I am still a little bitter from the whole experience with them.

I still have a computer sitting on the shelf labeled "Do not touch, property of FBI" from when I reported a compromised computer to them. That was in 2004. It's still sitting on the same shelf, just like it was the day I unplugged it.

Go to the airport. Look at an airplane. Now look at your tablet. Now back at me. Now back at your tablet. Sadly, you can't read the specifications and dimensions listed on the blueprint for that airplane on that tiny ass screen. Look at the Internet, and now back at me. Your ISP has blocked retrieving that file from the iCloud because it's "too large/over bandwidth limit/insert other MPAA/RIAA restriction".

I'm telling you. Schools need to haul kids out to the field again. Let them get a real sense of what the rest of the working world has to deal with before they are allowed to make any decisions.

Stop that. Please, I beg of you. Stop saying PC dying. I have yet to see a tablet that can handle the Autocad/Mastercam/Catia drawings that we work with. I don't want to be stuck having to build this shit from scratch, or purchase a server just so people can use the software they have to use every day.

Before you all go off on 'virtual server/blahblah' I'm telling you, we have tried, and nothing beats having each user have a PC at their desk using the software to do their work. Just because we can make the PC last 5 years before having to replace it, doesn't mean that the PC is dying.

Keep your stupid investor hands off the PC market. Seriously. - Love, Aerospace Manufacturing

I would prefer to see someone research radical changing of desktop configurations possibly indicating brain aneurysms. I have noticed twice in my working career that people that suddenly change their background color to something like magenta, or fiddle around with the size of their text non-stop (aka one day they contact support because the text is too small, next day they contact support because the text is too big.) end up within 6 months being in the hospital because of a brain aneurysm. No Joke.

Explain to me how this one went down. I still don't understand it. Sure, the video isn't gone, but there isn't a single portion of this video that ever touched by the people claiming the copyright. http://antimattertheinsane.blogspot.com/2012/06/wtf-auto-copyright-content-claim-fail.html

"We don't want a society where the loudest bunch of shrieking zealots can pressure a criminal investigation by the mere weight of numbers." Really? That seemed to work so well when people were talking about a dress stain instead of the terrorist...

We actually got our hosting refunded, because they were the ones that cancelled ColdFusion support....and we had no desire to recode the whole site.

Thank you. Not to mention...1. the artist already got paid by the island for the ability to play the music and 2. I don't get paid for putting videos online. My youtube account is not set up to rack up money by AdSense for me. My youtube account is strictly for fun. 3. I didn't have the camera sitting beside the speaker, I was on the opposite side of the populated area. 4. I still don't understand how United States laws can even apply to a private island that isn't even on United States soil. 5. I still don't understand the mindset of wanting to get paid multiple times for the same thing. That's like if I had to pay a fee to the clothing designer every time I had my picture taken.....

Ya, back in 2004, I went on a Royal Caribbean cruise. One of the islands that they own, CoCo Kay, was one of the stops along the way. It was the first time I had ever been on a cruise before, and so at one point, on the CoCo Kay island, I just set my camera down on a picnic table and pressed record. I wanted to capture the music, the sound of the waves, the people walking past. I wanted to be able to go back to that moment in time.

In 2006, I posted it on YouTube, because one of the family members wanted to see it, and my daughter had a friend in the Bahamas who wanted to show her family what CoCo Kay looked like (it's a ways away from Nassau..).

In 2009, Sony laid claim to the video because of the music playing in the background, and slapped ads all over my video.

In 2012, I will be putting my own content server up for me and my family, and screw the rest of those sites. Bye Facebook, Google+, YouTube. Don't need ya anymore.

Unless you are in a smaller company, where HR is also payroll, which is also accounts payable. Only recently did our company get large enough to actually split AR and AP. AP lady still does HR tho.

Yes, I will. I cut the cord, I'm not afraid to cut out Netfix, YouTube, etc. I'm already pissed off at BigMedia, I'm already shunning new releases. Don't even tempt me into cutting them all out.
