I'm pro union but in this case there is nothing that can be done. Sure HP might be profitable but this company has no vision other than to make share holders and the CEO money. Slashing R&D means a sloth death. Firing every one just speeds up the death process.If your CEO sees the only way to make the company profitable is by cutting jobs your screwed. How about customer service, good products, being able to understand the person at the other end of the line?s None of those are in HPs near future.

Re: @kain preacher
If the company wants to use third world labor a union can't stop it. Companies do not have to agree to the wages that the union askes for. Lastly why do you say union workers are over paid ? How do you know that what the union is asking for is unreasonable.
So it was the unions that offed shored call centers. It was the unions that cut jobs, It was the union that told HP to reduce the quality . It was rthe unions that slashed R&D If you truly believe that your insane mate. A union can not force a company to have good customer service or have on shore call centers. How does a union force a company to make good products? Answer me that one. Are you saying that the union has say in the materials used in production ?
"customer service, good products and being able to understand the person at the other end of the line. " Please explain how a union can control all of those things.
Wondering
Verizon by default blocks Premium-rate SMS. If you send a text to one you get a text back from Vertizon Telling you it's block. You must call Verizon to remove this block. Why don't they do the same in the UK ?

On the Reg I constantly hear about UK gov IT programs turning in to a money pit and nothing coming out of it. I have some questions. How many successful IT projects do happen in the UK ? I would also be curious to see if the rest of Europe has the same problem. I don't know if it's the media or the threat of the feds kicking in the doors but I don't hear of this many screws in America on the federal level. It's usually the local governments that screw it up. Then again over here in America land the federal government can walk away from boondoggle projects. No poison pill prevision. Just walk away and the contractor has no recourse

Re: Note to Home Secretary
Um the UK said there were not going to prosecute Gary. Maybe that's the difference. Perhaps, just perhaps if the UK said there were going to try Gary America would of said ok.
@P. Lee
When I was at ATT most of my customers wanted it just to work. No set up just run the internet wizard and off they go. The wizard even setup their email account in outlook. The people that will do what you suggest P. Lee are not the ones that will get infected.No you have a group of people that have this mental block when it comes to computers. If you don't set this up for them behind the scenes they will never do it.
Two things I can't stand
When the speed limit is 65 MPH and I'm in the slow lane doing 70MPH and some ass insist on tail gating me. The other is when the person in front of me is doing the speed limit and the jack ass behind me is pissed off and wants to drive much faster . Flashing their high beams honking like I can drive through the person in front of me. The person passes on the wrong side cuts in front of me almost hitting me then slamming on his brakes cause the person in front is doing the same speed as me. If I can I'll move over and let the ass ride some one else.

How about ?
How about a a movie were William Shatner is teaching his son Keanu Reeves hows to be a Karate master. He has to fight the evil Karate master Dolph Lundgren and his son Dustin Diamon.
Jean-Claude will be Shatters brother and Kenu's uncle. Steven Seagal will be Dolph's evil army buddy.
Directed by Micheal bay and Spike Lee. Written by the writers of SNL. Crappy enough yet?

Quxy we are into really doing that to the outside world. We are just doing it to our self to lock people into their telco.
@Ian McNee
The problem is this. Often times when a smaller part of an organization comes up with a good plan that should be easy to implement, some one along the way finds a way to screw it up. This is due to some idiot having to put their touch on it . Then you have jobworths that feel this is a threat to their job. Lastly you have cronyism.
Cable modems
In the last three years almost all the cable modems for Comcast are IPv6 capable and yes Comcast gives you an IPv6 address. So whats this crap about no demand from ISPs ??
"Riddle me this. Why is it that when a windows threat is discovered, 9 out of 10 times after updating the operating system and anti malware software and anti virus software (neither of which are consuming resources on my Linux or Mac computers) the operating system remains vulnerable to those threats" Show me proof of this.

see ID
If you write see ID instead of signing the card the card is not valid. Now I've yet to see a merchant refuse to take a CC that was not signed or has see ID on it. But if some thing goes wrong and the CC finds out that the card did not have a signature on it, the merchant is on the hook.

Re: 100 Years ago a newspaper owner like Murdoch would have done the decent thing.
Lets see back then they would of sent thugs after , printed viscous lies about , and have politician and the police change your mind. This was an era when the shot striking works and the papers would white wash it
Same reason why folks watch Fox news here .
Re: So much for the mighty hunter.
He filmed him self poaching deer out of season in California, so don't surprised that he filmed this.
He should be tossed in jail and all hunting privileges revoked . He has been caught poaching in California.
"Ted Nugent, musician and hunting fanatic, was brought up on 11 charges of poaching, including baiting and killing a deer too young to be legally hunted. Ted Nugent pleaded no contest to the poaching charges and was fined $1,750 by the state of California."
Oh by they way in Califonia you must wait 48 hours to hunt in a place that has been baited.

I turned off geo tagging on my Android. When I view pictures on my Android that are geo tagged it shows the city over laid on the picture. I'd be surprised if the Iphone did not display the geo tag in a simllar way.
You know I still see phones on ebay that say this phone will not activate. People still buy them. So people don't care that they are most likely buying a stolen phone. Ebay does not car either,.
Re: Convenient...
You do know that right after 9/11 happen telco did turn off ell phones at the request of the US gov. ALso big police dept like NYPD have cell phone jammers.
Hey I'm not a crazy loon. Just a gay black republican.
Re: Not already done?
Not in the US. Also very few police dept will take a report for a stolen cell phone unless it was taking through a violent act. Pick pockets don't count. Neither does running up and grabbing it off a table.
I was watching this TV show called person of interest. This invented a computer program to monitor the internet and CCTV for possible terrorist and any plots they might have. He said the problem was not enough personal data on the net. So he created social networks. He said in six months people were freely giving info away the kind that would take months of man hours to get.This left me thinking. FB=CIA ?
NomNomNom is trolling
Thank you and have a nice day
In the US Direct TV and amex won't let you call from a cell phone. That's very dumb on Amex part. I'd think in this day and age you would be more likely to call a credit card company on a cell phone than a land line.

This applies to when they book you in jail. Usually being booked for some this trivial would not have in jail this long enough to be stripped searched. Now they can't just search on the street. You must formally be arrested and put into jail. Now what I want to know is was he arrested and put into jail. Not paying fines in not a offense which you can be jailed in New Jersey. Why was moved? Why was he in jail for two weeks before seeing a judge ?
Re: US Officialdom
Unless it's a DUI. The other day I read about this guy ran over this family's dog and taking out 5 mail boxes. This was his sixth DUI in 5 years.
Motorola first sued in the US then in Germany. What MS is saying is that since they Sued in a US court and so the ruling from Germany should not apply in the US.
Re: Jurisdiction
They are asking a US judge to make sure a German ruling does not apply to them on US soil.
