Oh legally they may decline, but peer pressure and words like "patriot" or worse still "traitor" probably mean most who don't want to feel compelled to. IMHO, this sort of thing is as much brain washing as religious

Have your retirees tried installing something them selves? I, today, had a very quick look at installing Libre Office on a Fedora VM. Windows: download exe file, double click, it installs. Now go look up the instruction for Linux. So absurd

No its not. Its saying "we" treated him like a nut job foil hat man, but were wrong. Its basically an apology.

This article was not written for any one who has even an average understanding of the subject. It is there to give the most simple, general over view of an interesting development. It is not supposed to be anything more than that. It is the

P1. Now you have changed your point. You said that I said no one hires based on a resume, and I did not say they did. P2. Same again. You are making up yet another scenario.

I got that too, except its just said "LOADING", none of the other stuff. Maybe if I had waited longer? As you say, refreshing it fixed the issue.

Yes, and due diligence.

Partly, yes. The link would be called "Portfolio".

by alan_cx 13y ago
Well, yes, some people will, obviously.

by alan_cx 13y ago
No, not confused. The fact you have widened the issue out to "all cases" seems to imply you might be. The aim of this resume is like all other resumes, to get an interview. If not, its not a resume, its part of a portfolio. Last p

Point one. No, I never said or implied what you are saying. Point two. That is frankly so convoluted, I can only assume you just want to oppose what Im saying, but honestly don't know why.

I'd prefer a two page resume, and later on a nice fat portfolio.

by alan_cx 13y ago
There seems to be some confusion between a resume and a portfolio. While this is clever, unfortunately what it does is make the job of getting the candidate's details harder. Say I have a pile of resumes and what not on my desk, and th

I notice here a lot of people seem to use the keyboard more than the mouse. My experience is the opposite. I want to click once or twice, not type stuff in. If I wanted to type, I'd use a command line, not a GUI. As for the touch scree

Are there tweaks to completely get rid of metro? Will upgrading mess up things like classic start menu? I don't want to transition to a UI which, IMHO, is completely inappropriate for a normal desktop with a mouse and keyboard.

Bit worried my experience will also be voted down... ...but I had 2 kids (12 and 14) who also got new laptops and also hated windows 8. No, they didn't do a PR thing for Apple (ah, the vote down?), they wanted Windows 7 back. The daugh

Regarding the name... If lots of people started emailing each other, talking on social networks, etc about it, would that cause a corresponding extra amount of filtering work for the likes of the NSA? If so, wouldn't it rather screw th

All the resistance is from only the rear wheel. So its like rear wheel breaking, and potential lock ups in the wet. Surely its better to spread the load. Also means twice the surface contact. Wouldn't that be better, perhaps safer, to

KERS for a bicycle. Cool. Given that old Lotus bike, Im surprised one for the F1 teams hasn't rustled something up. I'd have a chat with one of them and see if they would like to partner up. Especially as they are trying to be all

I wonder how much internet policy is decided by internet organisations. Or how much war stuff is decided by war people. Or medical policy by medical people. I could tediously go on...

Sure, there must be some situations where DDG wins. But look at what you have said; in the last couple of days you have only one example of google failing you. Presumably for the rest of that time google was perfectly fine or better. Only o

For what it's worth, I'm desperately trying to switch to Duck Duck Go, and so annoyingly often I have to go back to google. In the end, that tells me google is still the most relevant search than the next best non creepy alternati

The OP did not say there were no reasons. The OP merely asked why should he/she use it. You claimed "SO many reasons", which implies lots and lots of reasons, especially with "SO" in capitals, but you you only liste

Looking for those good reasons, which thus far no one has out lined. So far we just have a dislike of being feature rich, or in other words the usual generic throwaway of "bloatware". And some waffle about "setup", which
