I can't find any current stats in ie6 but the delay to upgrading was a pain point. While I wanted to just blacklist the browser from websites I was responsible for with a gigantic banner. I unfortunately didn't get that latitude.

Good luck suing, if you would get a negative reference, why are you using them as a reference, that shows an incredible lack of awareness. Companies are just copping out with hyper sensitive HR departments. I would give a glowing review but

I can't speak to elixir but Ruby seems reasonable, JavaScript is a total clusterfuck. Python is dead simple.

From the perspective of the normal employee they should understand they pretty much won't be enforced. The threat will be made. And then no follow up.

I'm confused why anyone prefer Oracle at all. You can basically swing a bat at their codebase and default creds come raining down. Everything they touch has a steroid infused YOLO.

Leaving a car unlocked is sometimes safer, while not foolproof it reduces the likelihood of getting your window smashed to loot the vehicle for valuables (and non valuable items)

Honestly I dont that is true regarding CV, sure you can filter some extremely easily but its also pretty easy to see the good candidates even if there resume is terrible. Following up with a phone call will confirm it. And rarely result in

Buy something nice for yourself, invest the rest. lottery winners have a high bankruptcy rate. I can't find the interview but there was a great one with a janitor that got a similar amount of money. he bought himself a Rolex then inves

Trains slow down and use the engine at a slower pace. You don't have a back up heart.

That is insane. Denying entry to someone going on vacation because the higher ups did something the EU arbitrarly disagrees with?

Not that I distrust this particular code, Microsoft has had some serious blunders in the past. Like chopping off any password over 8 characters.

Honestly who cares about votes on comments? It's fake internet points. They don't matter, post what you think is appropriate, don't be a jerk. Go on with your life.

Most companies don't have European assets, so yes "lol come and take it" is valid. There are many companies in the world that could explicitly and willfully violate every aspect of European laws and there is nothing that can

So an individual employee is on the hook if the company they work at violates European laws? I don't know the details and decisions of my company, but I guess I shouldn't travel to Europe in that case.

Again that is my point, most companies don't. The small amount that do will have to. There is a huge amount of companies that will never target Europe. They will never do business or have a presence there. The regulations are irrelevan

The branding might be different but at the helm is what was twc. Charter spectrum or whatever they call it this week is not in control. This is a reverse merger, twc owned charter. New name, same company.

The point is simple, Europe is not the target market for a large portion of the internet.

Even if those that are in scope of the regulation they are not in the jurisdiction, so the regulations can be ignored.

For most websites outside of the EU that is of no concern. For some reason every website that will never do business there seems to be concerned about the EU regulations. A large portion of the internet will never have to comply.

Or for some websites, simply ignore the EU regulations. You can ignore other countries laws. You don't have to bow down to the EU. Edit I don't get why people hate this, but it is a reality.

The same with AOL with everyone thinking the same thing. Sorry but charter is toast, it will be either a brand name and see me infrastructure, but entirely controlled by twc.

Charter spectrum predates time Warner's take over. It wasn't a merger, twc is taking over charter. Just like the time they did that with AOL.

If you don't sort of tailgate get ready for someone driving an SUV/truck to cut you off. I'm not saying be on their bumper, just close enough to keep others from dangerously cutting in front of you.

I have really terrible handwriting, whenever I sign a document it literally is just some random continuous line. It's never been an issue. Nobody seems to care. You could probably make a smiley face and never have an issue regardless
