Re: UK legislation

"Yet another "I would rather be governed by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels because I don't like what a democratically elected UK government does/might do" argument."

Re: A Working backup exec product would help

I am nagging my workplace to find another backup solution for our customers when the renewals come around.

The Jase

Backup Exec

"[Symantec’s] storage assets – Backup Exec, NetBackup and the Storage Foundation product sets – have been around for a long time, but revenues are down."

Backup exec 2012 being crap and not factoring in multiple servers to one tape drive doesn't help. People are moving onto other products.

Re: Bitcoin logic

Ahhh Libertarians.

Re: >Libertarians hate regulation... until they need it

"OR one can get insurance"

Clearly you don't deal with insurance companies.

Libertarian answers to anything seems to be "free market" "insurance" and "sue"

yes it did.

Don't work

Polygraphs don't work.

Any employer that insists on one clearly has fuck all understanding of science and odds are the place is a blame culture based one, rather than solutions based. I'd never work for a place that insisted on them, ever.

Example of why polygraphs are FAIL:

You are anti drugs, like very. One question is "do you use drugs?"~

To which you answer "no". But its an insulting question and pisses you off.

Later on the question is repeated. The reaction will be stronger because its more of an accusation then.

Mind you, they're a good interrogation tool.

Re: Quite sad...

There is a reason I wear a cheap suit. I spend too much time crawling in the dirt to wear anything better and ruin it.

Mind you, I am damn good at my job and my customers love me.

The Jase

Shotguns and time

Looking for a job can be tricky. I work mid-upper range support/installs and tend to use the shotgun approach, applying for as many jobs as I can.

There is a lot of competition out there and pinning your hopes on one or two is a sure path to disappointment. The person on the other end has a lot to read so get to the damn point!

One thing that does irritate me is recruitment firms asking me to fill in their standardized form.

Is it worth the time doing the form when you just get lumped onto their database anyway until the right keywords match (months later sometimes)? Very rarely for the paygrade I'm in. When the rate goes up to £35/hr and more, then its totally worth it.

And unless its a job I really really want (like The World Food Program and/or another UN agency) I also think a covering letter has a very poor ROI. I will not send one to an agency. Its 20 minutes (and to do a personal covering letter rather than the garden variety standard one it should be taking this long to research and revise) that you will never see again.

So, who here LURVES Windows Phone? Put your hands up, Brits

The Jase

I have an old HTC 7 Pro. Yeah, its heavy, yeah the battery drains quickly when on t'internet, but I like having a full keyboard.

Apps wise, it could be better, but as WinPhone gets better market penetration, this will improve.

As soon as you lose the desire to get the last word in, or defend against obvious trolling, its not that big a deal. So what if some troll gets the last word in slagging you off. It makes no difference.

UK Post Office admits false accusations after computer system cockup

The Jase

Timing

The problems with the system have been reported by Private Eye for quite some time. They are only doing something about it now because they're planning to sell it off. So the liability owed to the people jailed and cheated can be paid by the public, while the private company avoids it.

The Jase

Jail

If I went to jail because of their system screw up, I'd sue them for a good million. Only if it hits them in the pocket, and hard, will they bother doing anything about it.

Re: The Jase Violence

"As far as I can see, the EDL has carefully kept inside the law,"

I see otherwise, from their carpark fights, causing trouble in KFC, and that train video I posted.

The Jase

Re: Violence

The UAF and EDL are the same, just different political leanings.

As for the EDL not being a right wing group and "against extreme Islam", well, what about attacking occupy because "they're unwashed lefties".

The EDL is a right wing group (and a bunch of customers for Tommy's wares). The EDL is a violent group.

This is the EDL

Re: @The Jase

I can tell you've never been doxxed. Scary at first, but it amounts to a whole lot of nothing in the end.

I've had enough of the EDL threaten to beat/kill me, I have very little sympathy for them.

If I believed enough in a cause, I'd stand up and be identified for it.
