Obviously, but being exposed to real issues first hand will certainly give you a better insight on why it should be fixed.

Some kind of reality check.

Netflix in Ireland (and Uk roughly the same price) : 6.99 € (or 7.99)

I'm sorting my day out when in the morning shower. There's no better place / moment to think.

No distraction, just your mind clearing up the midst.

I'm with you there.

I got enough knowledge to be considered a techie, but I don't have a passion for programming (although I enjoy the challenge), it's a mean to an end to me.

I feel a bit overwhelmed when people start getting hyped over stuff such as stating typing vs dynamic // how cool Haskell is and the whole shebang.

I'm in a position which sits in between, half peoples skill - half technical.

The issue is that I'm working (not for long anymore, I'll be free in a few days) for an outsourcing group and it sucks to get stuck.

I'm gonna try to get back in the game and see how it goes from there.

Why not firing him in the first place ?

If he's useless as a dev and hasn't the knack for management, then he is useless (in this position).

Business wise that's the only thing that makes sense.

Plus the security tends to be lousier.

Well it's ArsTechnica, not Disney Channel.

A bit immature but nothing really offensive.

[Shaking intensifies]

Seems like it was a site phishing prompting him to call the number when (obviously) unable to log in.

Hiring in the near future ?

A bit steep indeed.

A starter @ 15/20 quids would be reasonable.

>Some people delude themselves into thinking that 5 hours a night is all they need and then sleep 14 hours on Saturday.

Oooh that sounds familiar.

Muryza, fuck yeah ?

You don't build customer trust with good salesmen, you do it when you fix the issue they're having.

See Amazon.

Regarding the customer service part, I'm not sure to understand what's the logic behind such a thought process.

When you're a giant corp, you can afford to be slacking on CS. But when you're a small structure with a limited amount of stability and cash flow, why would you take the risk to screw your PR ?

I'm biaised, I'm doing specialised tech support for a Giant so I it's obvious to me.

I've been looking to move to a smaller company (Ie a startup) and I found not so many positions, most being standard CS and nothing technical which is surprising. Might be because I'm in Europe though.

Hey thanks a lot mate.

Sorry for the late reply though.

When dealing with non tech-savy people on data (reports), Excel is perfectly fine (especially pivot tables, conditional formatting, etc...).

Anything else is obviously a mess - and people can use gDocs or OpenOffice for that as well.

Thanks for the proper translation.

Any chance you translate the message in the last picture ?

Your loss USA, your loss.

or different implementations all linked to the same DB ?

Although it seems a bit of a waste of time.

How about a script that'll randomly request Speedtest page while you stream ?

It was banter for the craic, no offense.

"I’ve removed the referral from these Amazon links for your benefit."

Hmmm yeah, sure.

Ireland won anything lately ?

Another French there, but with hopefully more insight on the why.

If France alone stands up for this one, it's meaningless because they'll find a loop (or carry on with the Double Irish and Dutch sandwich) and we'll just look like communist heaven (hyperbole) while not reaping anything.

We need to do it at the EU level, with a law which overrules local business taxations settings if the company is owned by a non EU entity.

Of course, the only way to push for it is to have champion country doing the dirty work, so I guess we're stuck with that.

Kinda but it's mostly bad drug experience, whereas The Hangover encompass any substance (especially alcohol).

It's an unimaginative 'translation', making it sound more fancy than the literal french equivalent ("La cuite").

That would explain a lot indeed.

And don't take any offence with what's been said above, it's funny to see a word / idiom / expression being taken over by the english language, as much as the opposite; ie : The Hangover being translated Very Bad Trip.

French as well, so I'm only backing my point with the dictionary definition ;)

Given how weirdly they tend to pronounce french word and sometimes transform them -see rouge (but it's only fair since we do the same sometimes) I guess it doesn't hurt to reiterate it.

Hmm I'm actually experiencing Ireland as well and totally concur with that.

I don't know about Denmark or Estonia though but I guess you'd be hard pressed to find more red tape than in France (in the EU context).

Origin of Entrepreneur : French, from Old French, from entreprendre; to undertake.

I guess the irony is lost on them.
