Flamer's Corner / Re: The 'Let's Bitch About Our Jobs' thread.
« on: December 08, 2011, 11:27:58 PM »
ah HAH. I knew it.

A while back I told you guys I was suspicious of Verizon having us move to NC. I assumed we were soon to be axed. Well, it isn't happening the way I predicted, but it IS happening.

 Yup. Verizon will no longer be in the Customer Premises Equipment business. No NOC Center, no field techs, no PBX's, no business equipment - period.
  My job: monitor business equipment in the NOC center, troubleshoot PBXes, and dispatch field techs.
 
  Dunno what Im gonna do yet. They aren't cold-turkeying; it will be a phase-out type thing; when each customer's contract expires it won't be renewed. The contracts will be all expired by 3rd quarter next year.
 So I have time to react, at least.

This article is copy/pasted from here:
http://news.yahoo.com/racism-nypd-seeped-onto-facebook-155445616.html

 Pay no mind to the content...  can you believe the author got paid for writing this; someone got paid for proofreading it, the editor got paid for approving it, and someone posted it on the site (for pay) and NOT ONE of them noticed any of the errors?

 Can I get a job here, please?


"Some New York police officier really didn't like being assigned to Brooklyn's West Indian American Day Parade, so much so that they vehemently vented their frustrations on Facebook. So there just like us un-uniformed citizens! Except when an NYPD officer posts on Facebook -- and those posts are tinged with racism -- people behinds your Facebook friends notice. The New York Times uncovered racist messages posted on a now-default Facebook group from September, wich had gone unnoticed those outside the police force until last month. The group was called “No More West Indian Day Detail,” referring to the annual Labor Day weekend parade frequented by the city's African and Caribbean Americans. The group was for "officers who are threatened by superiors and forced to be victims themselves by the violence of the West Indian Day massacre," according to what was posted on Facebook. The racism in some of the Facebook posts seems pretty blatant, but we'll let you judge for yourself:

    "I say have the parade one more year, and when they all gather drop a bomb and wipe them all out."
    "Welcome to the Liberal NYC Gale,” said another, “where if the cops sneeze too loud they get investigated for excessive force but the ‘civilians’ can run around like savages and there are no repercussions."
    "Why is everyone calling this a parade. It’s a scheduled riot."
    "Bloodbath!!! The worst detail to work."
    They can keep the forced overtime," adding that the safety of officers comes “before the animals.” 
    "Hearing New York police officers speak publicly but candidly about one another and the people they police is rare indeed, especially with their names attached."
    "We were widely outnumbered. It was an eerie feeling knowing we could be overrun at any moment."

Two Brooklyn defense attorney happened upon the public Facebook group before it was deleted and saved a digital copy eventually passed along to The Times. While some officiers contacted by the paper deny posting anything, the issues been referred to NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau. "

"Our ICAC unit has received reports that the Pedobear window sticker has been sighted in Albuquerque on at least two vehicles recently," says AG King. "We are very concerned about the potential link between the Pedobear symbol and pedophiles; we also want to increase public awareness of the potential danger to children, especially young girls."

Anarchy / Medical Marijuana Laws Reduce Traffic Deaths

Medical Marijuana Laws Reduce Traffic Deaths

ScienceDaily (Nov. 29, 2011) — A groundbreaking new study shows that laws legalizing medical marijuana have resulted in a nearly nine percent drop in traffic deaths and a five percent reduction in beer sales.

"Although we make no policy recommendations, it certainly appears as though medical marijuana laws are making our highways safer," Rees said.

Entire Computer Built Into USB Thumb Drive

PC enables what its inventor calls "any-screen computing": the ability to turn any TV, laptop, phone, tablet, or set-top box into a dumb terminal for its Android-powered operating system.

Packed in its tiny  body is a dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU (the same processor as in the Galaxy S II), 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out and even a microSD card slot for memory.

The Cotton Candy has a USB 2.0 connector on one end and an HDMI jack on the other. When connected to an HDTV, it uses the HDMI-out port for video, the USB for power, and Bluetooth to connect to a keyboard, mouse, or tablet for controlling the operating system.

This really isn't entertainment (at least for me)

 Maybe put it in the Homework or Technology section? I think that would be a better fit. If I were trying to find your post on "IPv6 tutorials"; I would look in the Tech forum, then maybe the Homework forum. I would never think to look in Entertainment.
