<0> but mine has god damn roman numerals in it! THAT says something!
<1> you killed Jesus?
<0> his education is an MBA specializing in Operations Reserach, and a BS in mechanical engineering...
<0> programmer indeed
<0> completed a beginners course in Japanese
<0> how's that help us?
<0> i'm tired of god damn offshore keyboard warmers. they only cause me to have to do more work
<2> we've found that a lot of the work we get back from overseas needs to be redone
<0> exactly
<0> that's about standard from what I can tell
<2> not bad for data entry, but programming - blah!
<0> some of the worst code I've ever seen came from "IT Professionals in bangladesh"
<0> and yet, we still bring on indian after indian after indian
<2> lol
<2> yup
<0> I'm not saying they're ALL bad. we have one indian guy here who is bright as hell
<0> but statistically...
<2> well, you can't argue with a salary that adds up to "four grains of rice a day"
<0> sure I can
<0> and do, daily :)
<2> yah
<2> so do we
<2> but to no avail
<3> mmmm, rice bugs
<2> to Upper Management, Cheaper = Better. Period.
<2> Proving to them that Cheaper = More Expensive In the Long Run aint so easy as it turns out.
<0> "Yes, little Kalishabameisverka, when you grow up, you will work in America! We will partially train you to have enough knowledge to be dangerous, then let you steal jobs from real developers! They'll hire anyone for cheap! Just wear a suit and smile, and you can pretend to work all day long."
<0> I love it
<3> welp ricebug.print
<0> The only thing he has listed under "Languages" in the 'technical summary' is "C++, C#, C and SQL"
<0> the 5 or so other 'languages' on here are in other categories, proving once again... if it's not C, it's crap!
<2> yes
<2> C = GOD
<3> its the American way Teycho, get production done by 5 developers instead of one, and no bennefits either
<3> just what every corperate machine wants
<3> everything in its corner and pisson the pions
<0> They need to be slapped with 6 inches of limp ****
<3> well, send it overseas, then bitch about the nations economy, rather ironic
<3> ford has taken a hicky
<3> remove money from this country, then the businesses and ppl in this country have less
<0> they got god damn reamed
<4> but, what they fail to realize theres other solutions that can give that competitive edge for success
<2> yeah - like build a better ****ing car maybe?
<3> M9Z9M9 change attitude
<2> oh darn
<2> ok
<2> *ding*
<3> they ***umed we liked 3yr warrantys with a 7yr payoff
<3> they are wrong
<2> I thought it had to do more with quality of product
<3> we want 10yr warrantys that we dont need, and a 4yr payoff
<2> Toyota produces cars that last longer and are cheaper and require less maintenance.
<3> I thought I just said that
<2> oh
<2> hehe ok.
<3> [13:56] <3> we want 10yr warrantys that we dont need, and a 4yr payoff
<2> yeah - i don't know what it means "4yr payoff"
<3> a 48 month loan
<1> heh
<1> coworker bought a car a few months ago
<1> she refused to listen to me when I said buy used
<1> she wanted new to get the 0% she kept seeing on TV
<1> even though i told her she'd never get it
<1> she finally gets her car
<1> was more money than she wanted to spend
<1> was less car than she wanted
<1> was like 9%
<1> AND she took a 72 month loan
<3> crazy isnt it
<1> talk about going in entirely the opposite direction
<1> meanwhile she could have gotten more car for like $10,000 less if she got one with maybe 20k miles on it
<3> you have to stay on focus about your purchase and dont let ditractions interfer
<3> theres plenty of 0% loans if you have the credit rating
<1> and if you buy the specific car they're trying to get rid of
<3> welp, the end of year close outs in august/septemeber is a good time to start
<3> then you can get 0% and the rebates
<3> normally its one or the other
<3> not to mention desperately overstocked deals may add other incentives
<3> s/deals/dealers
<2> damn- every time i try to get to any page on msdn2 IE crashes
<2> it's hilarious. it's their browser. it's their website. lol.
<3> http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/01/25/technology/NA-TEC-US-Densest-Memory-Circuit.php
<2> the only problem being I can't get to this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.r***ecutionservice2005.reportexecutionservice.resetexecution.aspx
<2> the browser hangs. then crashes.
<2> yay.
<3> mine doesnt
<3> you have teh gremlins
<2> yup
<2> i'd fix them but our nt group decided that no one is allowed to get updates or patches except them.
<2> they push them out but not to developer machines.
<2> so they both prohibit us from supporting ourselves and refuse simultaneously to support us, too.
<2> nice.
<2> Its fun to be king.

<1> sweet
<1> looks like that nintendo patent thing happened
<1> and you can buy replica NES hardware
<5> Nintendo Patent thing?
<6> patent expired?
<1> believe so
<1> was on fark a few months ago
<1> the NES hardware patent was expiring or something
<1> so now anyone can make 'compatible' hardware
<1> and i dont think nintendo liked it since they're banking on their old libraries for the Wii

<1> ooh
<1> next pay day I might pick up one of those
<1> or a dirt cheap original NES unit
<1> one of the older ladies here kinda likes the idea of video games
<1> but finds anything her niece can show her now unapproachable
<0> *cough* Nesticle *cough*
<1> yeh i installed that today
<1> but a keyboard isn't overly untuitive
<1> intuitive either
<0> true
<0> arrows + z/x is pretty easy, tho
<1> she uses the arrows with a single finger
<1> and looks at the keys each time
<1> so I can't get her to get mario to stop moving on top of a block or something
<0> F--
<1> I realized I never told her she could hit left if she was moving right
<0> Just have her get back to knitting
<1> and it'd slow him down
<6> even so.. keyboard is still a far cry from being able to roll your fingers across the buttons intuitively
<6> though you can get nes style controllers as an input device
<1> yeh I just noticed that
<6> either ps/2 or i'm sure they have usb ones now
<1> saw one for $25
<1> but for like $50 I can get a whole NES + games
<0> there's hardware adapters to buy that can plug a SNES controller into USB
<6> if you already have the controlers
<6> the one really nice thing about emulators is you can save state
<6> dont have to **** around with the game's own save method
<1> ah
<1> $22 for an adapter
<1> $32 for the modified controller
<1> http://www.retrousb.com/usb.html
<0> heh, *coin* x 32
<0> cute
<7> heh
<7> if you're looking for a nes unit and games I could sell you mine
<7> no one wanted it in the yard sale so I kept it anyway. someone bought my snes though
<7> all of it still works
<6> USB RETROGLOVE!!!
<7> lol
<7> I always wanted one of those things but never got one
<6> they ****ed
<6> but still
<7> but it looked so cool
<7> heh heh
<6> if nothing else, it makes a great addition to a halloween costume
