Re: What we really want to know...

Yes, that's why I don't mind people calling me big nose..

Re: Icahn

He represents everything that's wrong.

TFTFY

Re: Good

I don't understand why currency should be taxed.. Is it not the goods that you buy with it that are taxable ?

As long as this does not turn into yet another method for the bankers/traders of Bitcoins to get rich at the expense of others then I don't see much of a problem.....yet....

Re: Interesting thought...

Ah-ha, now we know how IPSOS get the results......

Re: Frankly ...

Can you give a good reason as to why they are not worth employing ? I presume that it is not their only skill set and in general most people list all, or a good subset of their current skills.

Are you really a "Corporate IT Recruiter" , you appear to have a very negative attitude which doesn't really fit in with the requirements of the job.

Re: Personal introspection

@Kristian : I have a feeling that you did not understand my post.

Morgan Stanley are criticising others for being too fat and too ugly, it is kind of irrelevant who they are criticising because they themselves are guilty of the aforementioned problems.

Re: So the T&Cs of Apples web site - @Stretch

So you can look at their website with your eyes but not through a computer program, even though both of them return the same result ?

Re: Alternatives

There is just so much wrong with that last reply.

Your AC status says quite a lot about how much "critisicm" you are willing to take here.

Re: Kneel

I couldn't agree more. I worked in the private jet industry for several years and our clients used their jets as a means of arriving fresh for meeting, they would "sleep" in their aircraft..........

Business is done on the ground between two people, face to face......... not in public.....

Doing "business" in public is more about being seen to do business rather than actually doing business.

@Lars

>Very familiar, but what one has to try to do is to make those co-workers and bosses, who stand behind the person who has to enter a password, to voluntarily turn their head.

Normally I would make the situation into something funny. If I am at my desk or someone elses for that matter and I need to enter an admin account/password I will ask anyone watching if they are an "undercover agent" trying to get a hold of my password by watching my fingers, always in a light hearted tone. I can't think of many/any occasions where they didn't realise what they were doing and immediately look away.

@Andy

>If you are running critical production devices on Win XP or Win Server 2003,

That would be about 60% ( probably more) of current megacorps then.

>Otherwise caring and nurturing Nurses / Doctors were known to smother / overdose patients that were deemed unworthy.....

The question forebades: What was a worthy patient ?

Isn't Jeremy Kyle a spinofff form the Jerry Springer kind of shows..

Re: Choices choices choices

Just read a quick track record report of Elop on ZDnet, effectively things could get worse than Ballmer...

Re: "rather terrible advert"

Is there really something called an "LG Bender".... that's not going to go down ( pun intended) very well with the PC crowd.

I don't know the bible so had to do a bit of googling for the biblical reference, it's very appropriate...

Here is the passage

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

To take it slighlty one step further, it would be even more credible if two(or more) seperate , independant and unknown to each other, teams should be given the task.

Each of the teams could then analyse and compare the results of the others eventually creating an aggregated result.

Then releasing the test scenarios in order that the greater public can attempt to reproduce the results and make their own decisions..

Re: That's why we need a common hardware platform

"A common hardware platform" is the Cyanogenetic approach; business couldn't care less.

Cyanogenetic ; Adjective : FUD free .

Re: Meanwhile

Before it will be used for medical purposes, it would be normal to presume that the military will get their hands on it first.

The utopic world that you describe often takes second place to that of the worlds super powers "needs"...
