Comment Re:overly dramatic. (Score 1) 278

There is also this bit:

and whether they are turning down viable opportunities.

Imagine that someone might say "We think you would be a good candidate for this job you passed over. Why didn't you pursue it?" And, then one says in return "Well, I don't have this skill they are requiring." Well, they might just say "Why don't we see if they will train you up on that skill and, if not, let's see if we can't get your some training in that skill."

Oh, the HORROR that someone might encourage a job seeker, offer to get one training or talk to an employer for a job seeker to see if they will train an otherwise qualified candidate on a missing skill.

I call your post "the cry of the whinger". Don't want to pick up trash on the street or clean urinals? Get an education, do a good job at getting an education, and get a better job. When I lost my tech job in September 2001, I worked as an electrician's helper digging ditches for conduit, in Florida, in the summer. I worked as a courier. I worked in the summer and the winter in an unheated, uncooled metal building cutting, bending, welding and grinding aluminum into signs. I have picked up trash, cleaned restrooms in bars, and cooked. You know what I do know? I work as a developer.

No one is above cleaning toilet and picking up trash.

Unfortunately, the first quarter of his rant is easily explained by his inability to keep his palms off touch pad as he types. I installed the prerelease on a laptop I bought for $250, never had any of the problems he mentions , and figured out everything he couldn't in about an hour.

Using Win8 with a mouse is a bit annoying, but it is in no way "unusable" or "user hostile". He was just sloppy, resistent to change, and incompetent.

And, before the MS haters start screaming "SHILL!!1!!!1!", after about a month of using Win8, I did what I originally intended to do with that laptop. I installed Linux on it. Specfically, Debian with WindowMaker.

In other words you actually ment to say that using Windows 8 is similar to prision rape to get attention. You meant to say it, you just said it because you are an attention whore who was afraid his comment wouldn't get noticed unless he said something "a little dramatic".

So in that 10% are folk that failed to work out how to get the login prompt from the completely control free boot page. And people who failed to shutdown their PC making up the bulk of it - since that needs the charmless bar.

Please show where the article states what you have claimed.
