    How much less money would you take to not be On Call?

    What's on call? We have development and QA resources in India, China, and Ireland. If I'm on a project with offshore resources it pretty much means I am working in some capacity unless I'm asleep.

    Which Kindle Fire?

    I have a first-gen Kindle Fire. Silk (the web browser) is a piece of shit for browsing anything image heavy (crashes loading lots of images). The Maxthon browser is a bit better, but the internet connection hangs on a regular basis just browsing, and you have to reboot the Kindle to get it...

    That awkward moment when you run into your old SVP of Engineeering

    You have to remember that HR exists solely for the purpose of protecting the company from *you*. There is no "human" in human resources.

    Guiness > Killian's Irish stout

    I have Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter on tap in my kitchen, pretty fond of it. I wouldn't necessarily say it's "better" than Guinness, but it was a pretty good choice for a winter beer. Can't pound them back like a Guinness, for sure though; 9.2% alcohol.

    Sudden, intense headache from heavy lifting

    If your doctor wants you to get an MRI, get it...sometimes Arnold is wrong. A couple years ago I was struggling with working out due to headaches and nausea whenever I lifted heavy. Turns out I had a tumor partially blocking the fourth ventricle, preventing CSF from draining properly into the...

    Health Insurance increasing by over 20% AGAIN this year.

    The average family plan premiums for employer-sponsored health care only went up 4% this year (as opposed to 9% last year). Your employer is screwing you.

    EDIT: Renewed for a second season. "The Walking Dead"

    The infection reactivates the brain stem and some higher functions after brain death, theoretically it's working around or somehow healing tissues damaged by oxygen deprivation ...is it really that much of a stretch to think it could be using a similar process to reintegrate mechanically damaged...

    EDIT: Renewed for a second season. "The Walking Dead"

    I thought that was the case as well - Rick finished both of the guys in the bar with a shot to the head. I assumed he didn't do anything to finish Shane because he was a little distraught over killing his (former) best friend. Herschel explained the reason all the zombies are showing up...

    Anyone own 2+ acres of land?

    I have 10 acres on the Penobscot river in Maine. It's all trees right now, but I plan on putting a cabin up there eventually.

    ATOT people in Cincinnati?

    He's not going to walk to Hofbrau or Molly Malone's, though Hofbrau really wouldn't be too bad across the purple bridge. Note that smoking indoors is banned in Cincinnati, while I believe it is still allowed across the river, if that's an issue for you.

    ATOT people in Cincinnati?

    Downtown doesn't have "local watering hole/hole in the wall type places" for the most part (unless you walk up into Over the Rhine," which I don't really recommend to someone unfamiliar with the area). "O'Malley's in the Alley" probably meets the definition of what you're looking for, and that...

    Official 2010-2011 NBA Playoffs Thread

    It's impossible for the Celtics to win the series when their only choice while playing in Miami was to step out of the way and allow Wade and LeBron to get easy baskets, or play defense and get called for cheap fouls. The Heat shot 46 more free throws in the three games on their home court...

    PSN down. Update8: Welcome Back Package is Live

    As an update, my stepbrother got hit Friday with the same type of charges. Based on a quick conversation, the only online vendors we have in common are Amazon, Newegg, and SOE. Still not definitive, but...

    PSN down. Update8: Welcome Back Package is Live

    I know Sony is saying SOE only lost foreign CC numbers, but I've just had about a $1000 in fraudulent charges billed to my credit card in the last 24 hours. This is the first time I've ever had fraudulent charges to my account. I had several SOE subscriptions for years. Proof that SOE USA...

    Software Development Process (use cases)

    Ah, "Agile". In my company that's translated as, "we don't need to give you final requirements until three days before you're planning to install, but it's your fault that you couldn't complete development in time, oh and by the way, why didn't you give me enough time to test the finished product?"

    For Sale: One aircraft carrier. Used. Contact the formerly "Great" Britain.

    The UK still has the HMS Illustrious in service (same class as ship being sold), though she's limited to helicopters right now, since the UK's Harriers have been withdrawn from service and the F35 is delayed. The HMS Ocean is also in service, but is a dedicated helicopter carrier. The Royal...

    Took a blind side hit in hockey last night...

    I know from experience that most doctors will not take head trauma seriously unless you have visible signs of injury (i.e. pupil dilation, surface bleeding, unconsciousness). An ex-girlfriend once took me to an urgent care center after I took a knee to the temple in a soccer game, because I was...

    Any PMPs here?

    I have - my boss got audited when he applied, so it does happen. Quoted for truth. You get a lot more credit for leading projects when it isn't your "job". I am embedded in a development and support organization, supporting a manufacturing plant. When a project is successful, Operations...

    Any PMPs here?

    PMI may or may not take those education hours...it is a business after all, and they may require you to take a PMI certified course. It might be worthwhile to take a PMP course anyway, since the things you know and do every day from a project management perspective may not necessarily...

    Any PMPs here?

    The application is a fscking bear (hours and hours of documenting projects you've worked on). I thought the test was easy, but I had coworkers that studied for 6 months and failed twice before passing it. It's computerized multiple-guess, 200 questions, you have 4 hours to complete it. Feel...

    Wall Street Austerity

    Yeah, I work at a financial services company. Last year they laid off a ton of people, cut our salaries...then handed out 300 million in bonuses to the top 270 or so executives. Makes total sense.

    Who here has played or plays middle/high school soccer?

    You play in any type of weather, minus lightning (we always a had a 30 minute rule; play could not start or resume until 30 minutes after the last audible thunder). That said, field owners will sometimes cancel games on grass fields *after* periods of heavy rain, since it's too easy to destroy...

    Democrats are planning to give seniors $250 check

    And that's where you are wrong. The poor, innocent, "old people" are the folks that got us in to this mess in the first place, and are the largest voting bloc responsible for ensuring we can't fix it. There is a reason Social Security and Medicare are the proverbial "third rail" of politics...

    WWII Battleship gun info

    You wouldn't happen to be a formal naval aviator, or scion of one would you? While the battleships and battle cruisers of WW2 didn't have the preeminent role of earlier conflicts, I am pretty sure the 1200 sailors lost on the HMS Glorious...

    Randy Moss to the Vikings

    Looks like the max compensation pick for Moss would have been a 5th rounder in 2012. According to Reiss on ESPNBoston, "That pick could have been no higher than a fifth-rounder in 2012, because Moss has 10 accrued seasons in the NFL. "

    Randy Moss to the Vikings

    I am just at a loss with this trade. The NFC is wide-open, and the this probably guarantees the Vikings a playoff spot, which means it's not even going to be a *good* third round pick. The Vikings were desperate and were willing to part with a 2 and a 4 for Vincent Jackson. You can't even get...

    WWII Battleship gun info

    Yeah, that is one hell of a story, both the desperate defense by the tin cans and by the pilots off the jeep carriers. The fact that the Japanese didn't manage to sink all of Taffy 3 is a huge testament to the crews of the escort ships and pilots that sacrificed themselves to drive off the...

    Fred Phelps can now picket funerals legally

    I think the answer is to start picketing the church, his house, and the house of every single person that attends his little cult.

    Ridiculous NC Traffic Laws?

    Ticket was paid on time, no warning of the suspension. My comment on "cash grab" is my assumption is that he'll get a lawyer, and the state will offer a hefty fine (a couple thousand plus court costs) in lieu of suspension. Desi: troll much? If you want to look at it from that angle, it's a...

    Ridiculous NC Traffic Laws?

    So my buddy IM'd me earlier today. Apparently, he just got a letter in the mail from the North Carolina DMV that his license has been suspended for a year. His offense? One speeding ticket in another state (NJ) for doing 80 in a 65. And no, really, that is it; he hasn't been cited a...

    Make $200,000/yr FOX says you're rich

    200k a year means you're probably clearing 9-10k a month after taxes. The loan payment with zero down and 4.9% financing for 5 years on 61k loan is about $1150 a month...I am pretty sure 10-15% of your net income on a car payment isn't going to kill anyone. Not that I would buy a Volt if I...

    Man facing possible 16 years for videotaping police
