there’s a lot of stupid, ignorant assholes running small businesses all over the place that think they own their employees and can boss them 24/7. this could totally be a legit posting somewhere.
if you want me answering my phone 24/7, you’re paying me 24/7–and providing the phone you want me to answer.
easy there, we have enough climate problems without the sun going supernova on us.
when i lived down in texas (and a couple other places), the stores had can-sized paper bags for the big cans and for regular 12oz ones. and i’d see guys having clerks at the store ‘bag’ their beer (even each can of an intact six-pack)…
then see them a few lights down the road chugging one at a red.
of course i learn of this today, a day after i just spent $10 each to ‘recycle’ a bunch of dead monitors.
i personally bought them. no i don’t have money. didn’t then either. they were about $200 each, just prior to when vista started shipping (they were on sale). ram was upgraded from scrap, so was one of the video cards and one of the cpu (they were both originally windsors)–the other was bought new for ~$50 in late 2008 or so.
i have a couple dual core athlons (windsor and brisbane athlon 64 x2) at the office from that era. they are still used, even. have 8gb ddr2, dvdrw, and dx10-capable geforce cards.
just put a big pillow ‘on’ the external hard drive.
“got mine, fuck you—and your children and children’s children, too.”
when i wanted bandwidth available ‘elsewhere’ (such as streaming or games on a different pc) but wanted to continue long transfers, used to neuter the lan adapter configuration on the system doing the transfers by setting it to 10baseT, full or half duplex for 10 or 5mbit max. that was back when my isp connection topped out at < 15mbit. i didn’t always use a program or an addon that had rate limiting, and that was my ‘solution’.
there’s still the very real possibility they’re hoovering all the encrypted data, too. and storing the stuff to/from ‘interesting’ end points for later ‘analysis’–that is, if they don’t already have the current tech broken.
company that profits from porn piracy sues for piracy of porn.
in a perfect world, perhaps. but we don’t live in one.
hollywood accountants will inflate the internal markup for everything, shuffle some numbers around, and come up with a 300mil ‘write off’ across all the various corporate divisions and shit.
it ain’t worth disabling my old redirect (which still works) to look.
my co-worker wants an ota dvr. what one do you have? and is it easy to use for someone that can barely navigate a tv menu? ease of use and minimal internet bandwidth use (they use a ‘jetpack’ with crappy signal for internet at home) are their main requirements.
anything 4:3 seems ‘old’ these days.
i got suckered once on a different site that got shut down. never again.
dammit. so that’s why it didn’t work. i’ve had waaaaaay more than “one”.
ad-skip to present day. encryption and drm is being introduced into the new atsc 3.0 broadcast standard, and some stations are already using it.
