So Sarah Palin is resigning as governor, to take work that will allow her to better effect change. I'm sure with the genius present here on Friendfeed, we can suggest some new jobs for her!

'Homosexual demon' conjured up by ignorance | ajc.com - http://www.ajc.com/service...
"To Manifested Glory Ministries of Bridgeport, Conn.: Perhaps you wouldn’t mind telling me what a “homosexual demon” looks like. I will confess that until last week, I had no idea demons even had sexual orientations. Or, for that matter, sex. Then I happened upon a video that is making the rounds online. It depicts members of your congregation conducting what can only be described as the “gay exorcism” of a 16-year-old boy." ...

Grim Richard's Irregulars: Eye Rolling - http://grimrichard.blogspot.com/2009...
"There is a huge population of retired people in Florida. I am, of course, being politically correct when I say "retired people". I'm actually mean that Florida has a huge population of old, wrinkly people who will sometimes forget that they're driving - even though they're in the middle of of an intersection and have just run over a Guatemalan guy on a bicycle. But here's the advantage to this skewed surplus of wrinkly people in Florida: being 40 years-old in Florida is like being 20 anywhere else. And we middle-aged people take full advantage of that down here. We drive around listening to Ting Tings songs way too loud. We drink like college freshmen and we curse the old people who just don't "get us." The only thing that spoils the illusion is when we run into actual young people in Florida." ...

Tamiflu resistance emerges in flu pandemic - health - 30 June 2009 - New Scientist - http://www.newscientist.com/article...
Ethan and FFing Enigma (aka Tina) liked this
... "Tamiflu-resistant viruses have previously been seen in people receiving the drug for ordinary flu. These have never been observed to spread, and Reddy told journalists this week that the Danish case was equally unlikely to. Despite this, H1N1 viruses that resist Tamiflu are quite capable of spreading. The normal seasonal H1N1 virus became almost entirely Tamiflu resistant over the past two years, for reasons that are not yet understood. Scientists fear the pandemic virus, also a member of the H1N1 family, might acquire Tamiflu resistance by interbreeding with these ordinary strains. It might also evolve resistance by exposure to the drug." ...

via Bookmarklet
"The European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in Stockholm, Sweden, warns there is little evidence that such delaying tactics work with flu. Other scientists warned this month that "it is not yet clear whether large-scale prophylaxis is justified, given the potential risks of high-level resistance developing". Prophylactic doses are half those used for treatment, and such low doses can favour the emergence of resistant strains."

Sometimes, it feels like I'm beating my head against a brick wall. Developers aren't understanding why testing they did in the development environment (you know, the one that anyone can change at any time, without anyone knowing) doesn't satisfy requirements to release software. No, it has to be installed into the test environment and tested THERE!
Daniel J. Pritchett liked this
The release package was being delivered, but the install wouldn't work. Why? Because they'd assumed they could just test everything in the dev area, so nobody bothered to even verify that the install script would work, much less test the software in the controlled space. ARGH!

This organization has a history of quietly finding people redundant (or too costly) and letting them go, while saying, "No, we're not having a lay-off!" It's demoralizing and demotivating, and I find it sad that this is considered honest and ethical. If you need to cut positions to cut costs, then just say so! (I know, they just don't want all the good people to run screaming away.)
- Ladybug Heather
That really sucks. By keeping stuff like this quiet, they're just going to drive their desired talent away because who would want to work for a company that is so dishonest with their employees.
- vicster
Exactly. I've watched it for over 6 years now, after each time we sold / bought / merged with another company. We've gotten emails about "We know the economy is tough, but we're not going to RIF." Then the salary freeze email. And then seeing people quietly let go. I find it more demotivating than an announcement of a RIF, followed by open communications.
