In looking up at-will employment for Georgia I realized that's pretty much every state FWIW. Luckily it's a two-way street. You can fire me for anything but I can also leave for anything. A two-weeks notice is just something I do

I really like the polish of the site. The animations are a nice subtle touch and everything is pretty distinct enough to not be overwhelming at all on the report view.

Now it makes me wonder what the turnover rate will be once all those drug dealers learn that AT&T is bad for their business. I wonder if anyone is even measuring those stats to know. This is by far not free and I really wonder what AT&a

Hg's command-line tools are pretty awkward. TortoiseHg, in especially the latter versions where the interface is unified into one big dialog, the workflow is exceptional. Everything I needed was at my fingertips at all times. I've

Holy shit. I always find it fascinating that moment when you realize that person you vaguely know "from the internet" is exposed on a particular forum. Thanks to the parent for getting me to click your username. We're barely

While the article focuses on LinkedIn, it could likely just be titled "Are Job Boards..." because the article mentions CareerBuilder and Monster. I know CB does it but wasn't paying attention to notice if Monster did. Somethi

The promise itself isn't bullshit, but the execution is definitely slow. Windows 8.1 is opening a lot back up but I will agree that MS shot themselves in the foot by making it as "simplified" as it is. It's nowhere near

I took that phrasing to mean something like: "CS is taught more in abstract principles like data structures than actual core mechanics for something like PHP" A former co-worker about lost it when the CEO asked "Does GA Tech

I've always had this weird observation. What makes child porn different than a parent having photos of their naked child? Porn isn't just sex acts. There are clear distinctions, yes, but this line can get extremely blurry real qui

This is the most likely scenario. While I don't know Java technically, .NET has a similar "vulnerability" if you use more than one RNG. It uses time to seed new values and the general rule is you use this as a singleton/

Most of my driving skills, and my disdain for other people "who use a car and can't drive" comes from driving games in arcades as a kid. Now that arcades are dead in the US? There goes easy access to a really useful "sim

"But a lot of the problems he described are like taking a huge dump in your toilet, it not flushing properly, and just giving up when the plunger is right there." Best. Analogy. Ever.

This . By agreeing to fix their problem, you are now held liable at least in their mind. You are that "professional that can safely backup their data..." or whatever else they think you are. Surely if you can handle a big corp IT

Yet his description is precisely how I became someone with over 10 years professional IT experience and 6 years over that as a developer. My 386 era machine at the time was without internet. My first experience was through AOL and Netcom

This. The reason I've stuck through some complete bullshit is because I valued the team, not the company involved in creating the dream team by mere happenstance.

From my personal experience and from all the information I have on the sidelines, I see 2 camps arising. 1) Build a perfect product. Rally everyone around this perfection. 2) Build a perfect team. That person or people you know of where if

I took comments on a post to mean "I'm ready for" when I should've realized a lot of what we do as people is talk ourselves up to something. I wouldn't consider it to be a poor idea at all. I was primarily trying to

An extrovert is typically better at marketing and sales, namely for the social aspect. For someone like me that's an introvert and extremely shy around new people, I gain XP by tackling technical problems. That doesn't mean techni

I'd suspect there are a number of people in your shoes and in the shoes of this entire thread. I read these responses and thought "Hmm I wonder what it is they're doing. Maybe I could help or at least offer some brain power?&

I'll agree and raise another important point: With enough money, almost nothing is a barrier. I wouldn't found a startup with no income and looking to leverage that success early or your family will starve. If you have an adequate

This is a good story and people like this always fascinate me considering how socially awkward I feel. I can understand the logic and even the motions but going from "That's a really good idea and I should be more engaged" to

1) Cover the standard 2.6% from paypal. Make that obvious. 2) Add a flat rate on top to cover operating expenses. The current model makes a lot of sense for small to medium amount transactions but I too have a problem with 7.6% total of a m

A lovely anecdote: When I worked for Bellsouth.net, the ISP, our router credentials started with a shared admin/(password) pair. The change happened, according to speculation, because of a breach that couldn't be tracked back to a

Ditto. I'm of the notion that the government can't put the entire company in jail. Could you imagine if Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo were effectively put out of business for these decisions? The repercussions would be devastating

"based on" could literally mean "some shit our lead developer cooked up that's like SHA but not really." I would hope "based on" doesn't mean that but why use the phrasing at all? Either it's SHA
