I ran into this with my daughter. She had one more form and was required to pay to upgrade then pay to file last year. After spending 40 minutes entering the data and then getting to the point where your ready to file, it pops up, Oh, that one extra form is only available on the paid version and you will need to pay extra to file the state as well. I was not happy...
Yep, I would think this Job Request would sail through the approval process now and get posted. I bet they may even be looking at the resumes that are coming in and forwarding them to the IT department real time.
It would be interesting to sit in on the interview process as both sides ask questions to each other...
Boeing here is just a symptom of the drive to increase profits at all costs. This problem is not limited to them. You see it in everything now days. Even the refrigerator I just bought is so much more cheaply made than before but costs more and the reviews say that it will require more repairs than before. Off shoring the SW development to cheaper locations...
Wow!

Good suggestion. I thought I would look it up. Found 86 for sure. I know they spent about 6-8 billion in the late 90's early 2000's for Cell phones and Arm chips used in them and bought an arm license(Then sold that to Marvel for 600M or so 2006ish) and I don't see those acquisitions on the list so I know this is not even close since the list only goes to about 1999s or so. Plus all of the cell phone acquisitions that they used to get into the cell phone modem again in the last 5-6 years since a certain fruit company was going to buy them and then Intel sold that group to the fruit company for cheap. Since the list starts at 1999 or so, its missing all of the chipset consolidation as well. Each time they get a new CEO, they chase a new shinny object which is about a 4-5 year cycle. The CPU and design and manufacturing they are kings at, although the manufacturing has been their undoing during the last couple years impacting their design in a very "challenging" way and it will be interesting to see how they adapt to new battles but they will catch up again.

If your expecting to see products out of Intel other than processors and chipsets your mistaken. I can't remember that last company Intel acquired that actually sold a chip. I would love to know how many 100s of billions Intel has spent on acquisitions over the years. Now if your a startup trying to sell your company and don't mind seeing your work destroyed after they give you hundreds of millions, then you gotta love them.
But we restored our platform and we will not bill you while you rebuild your site from scratch and while you ask your customers for a copy of their latest bill you sent them last month. I am sure they will tell you what they owe you. Do we get at least partial credit for that??? Maybe if you go look in the way back machine, you can find a copy to start from... I don't understand why your so mad, it could happen to anyone...
If they are doing the exact same job they should be paid the same. This person seems to think that an older person should be paid more just because they have more experience? Just think of the ways this can be twisted. That must mean that I can go to the fast food restaurant and expect to be paid more since I have more "experience" Sure, just because I am some old bugger, I should be paid more...
With age, experience and baggage MAY come. There are just as many idiot grey haired engineers as young perky ones. This article makes it seem that older engineers are just better...NOT. The problem with older ones it their baggage can not be fixed where as a young idiot's can be fixed sometimes. Plus the young perky ones don't know all of the ways to play games to keep their jobs while doing a minimum of work if any. Plus, young engineers don't have a life yet, they will take work home, they are willing to learn, they are willing to take on tasks that everyone else has shunned because they don't know any better and , oh, by the way, they usually cost a lot less. You just need a few of the older ones to herd them.
There are numerous cases in the x86 land that you need to replicate the bugs to be able to sell HW IP. If I remember right, There is a uart bug that you need to replicate to be compliant. Since everyone as coded for the bug, you you attempt to create new HW without the bug, all of the legacy SW will fail. Part of life...
Interesting. Yet another reason why we shouldn't use this technology. I am still running my steam engine from 150 years ago. But my computer from twenty years ago will no longer be maintainable by by grand kids.. Wish I would have known that when I bought it. Would have kept my abacus. I could still get support on that.
What will happen when that database is hacked? How will the hackers use that data to blackmail the people in the pics? Ahh, you can't we will not record the names in the government database managed by "less than expert" clerical staff. You're safe, trust us. You will not be able to match these random pictures to any names. Wrong, just do a mass search of Facebook/Google databases and match names to people to the pics. Suddenly the local Priest, Coach, Mayor, Mentor is paying monthly payments to keep the news of what sites they like to visit quiet. But then again, hack any ISP where this same data is kept and you can do the same thing....
Apple is late, they could have bought Intel's last modem business which the sold to Marvell about 13 years ago for 25 million or less. This is the cell phone business that Intel sold to Marvell after spending billions on it and then decided to sell it for 625 million. Wonder how many billions Intel spent on this version of the modem? Marvell sold it a couple of years ago for something like 25 million or so.
Anyone that has watched and been with Intel any length of time knew that the Modem business wouldn't last. Intel doesn't do cell phones. They spent 4-6 BILLON on the the last phone adventure and sold it for 400-600 million because there was no money in it. Then they got back on to the modems(the hardest part of the phone which cells for cheap) and poured billions more into it. This stuff takes many many years to refine if you have a good design to begin with and if it's longer than 2-3 years, Intels' A D D kicks in and it's gone...
Two factor is good for you checking account with a couple grand or less in it. For something worth millions, you better have the hardware key or even something simple like Norton VIP or something that you can steal so easily like this. I want the physical key in my hand and if I loose that I expect to suffer painfully getting everything reset since this is what I deserve for loosing my keys in the first place. Geez, make it at least a little difficult for the jerks...
This is the future of the current party in control. They can no longer face deal with the facts so they make them up. Then they end up winning and have to either follow through or admit they were lying. This then just cascades through all of the issues. Truth and fact no longer matter. This is what's driving me and other away from the party. I will now bow to das leader...
By doing this, they keep the die size reasonable and profitable. Plus they can not spin out these massive packages with 32 cores and decent yields. They may not be as fast in all areas but from a sustainable manufacturing model it's brilliant. It would be interesting to see what AMD yields would be if they had to have all 32 cores on one die.
If you read some of the books like "Code Warriors" you will become to understand what word persistence and determination mean. They go through how some of these techniques were done. If I remember right they go through codes that were broken via this method. I just shook my head at how hard core, hard nosed and determined these types of people are.
