Yet another website wrecked....

Was this a freudian slip ? Remember, you're quoting axhole....

Don't know about Freud but it was definitely a slip. Forgot the M.

You must be a software updater to take offence to my post?

Yes.... there is such a job title within IT as 'Software updater'....

















Perhaps, your response is proof of the very ignorance that he is talking about...

www.fantasticc.com has been running like sht the last couple of weeks movies not loading and content not updated. Grrrr.....

[Akzle]

Noone here. Downloaded once then distributed.

so why do clients need updates on?

I understand the sentient

no, i'm not entirely sure you do...

but this is kind of hard in my line of work.

pretty shit line of work. probably doesn't achieve much or benefit society a whole lot.

each to their own.

Staple?

(yes, that's an o/s image. no, i still wont give you a handjob gremlin. deal with it. xkcd in full colour.)

[swbarnett]

This is internal, not to clients.

no, i'm not entirely sure you do...

In Switzerland I worked in a company of four people. I would love to work for a small company again but that's just not practical in NZ given the way my career has gone.

Let's see:

• Ensure that blood can be collected and dispensed when needed
• Ensure that people receive health insurance payouts
• Ensure that a fair part of the Auckland region gets electricity

To name just a few off the top of my head.

i was responding to the literal thing you said. not what you meant.


your respose ironically kinda proves my point.

[swbarnett]

network clients.

This is not my department but as I understand it the Windows PCs have updates turned on and pointed at a central source within the company.

all of those are done by skilled men. not computers.

Maybe in the dark ages. In the modern world none of those are possible given the scale of the business without computers.

and insurance is jew shit so shouldn't be doing anyway.

Actually, I have some sympathy for that viewpoint. However, in pragmatic terms it's a modern necessary (necessary evil perhaps).

Ah! You mean the way I misspelled it?

Yes, I do agree that smaller companies can make for more intimate and friendlier workplaces.

not my network. and windows. so lol.

i hate to break it to you, but real work is still done by skilled men with tools. the fact that there's a corporate of tools in offices behind them doesn't in any way negate that.

no evil is necessary.

close but still no cookies.

Nothing to break. I've held that view my entire life and I've seen nothing to challenge it. Computers are simply tools. Before computers there were other tools that did a similar job (at least at a basic level) - pen, paper and skilled brains. With the massive increase in scale this is no longer feasible. Modern business (and a lot of other things) simply isn't possible today without computers to do the massive amounts of leg work necessary in the time allowed.

no evil is necessary.

It's part of the definition - without evil there is no good. For good can only be defined in relative terms. Both are only human constructs anyway; without sentient life neither exists.

except for your definition of "necessary" and concept of "allowed time"

and i don't subscribe to duopolism.

[trufflebutter]

Computers are simply tools.

I have seen evidence that some who use them also fit into that category.
