@HardwareGeek said in 📧 The Official Spam Emails Thread™:
@Zerosquare My first thought was more along the lines of "do I look like someone willing to work with SAP," but that, too.
Yeah, I'm not enough of a SAP to work with Accenture either
8 years...that's all? Hell, around here we measure time by decades...
All kidding aside: the "experience" requirements list shows that the project is likely in a state of complete disaster where the supposed "architects" simply couldn't pick a technology so barfed all over several competing ones.
For javascript: jQuery AND AngularJS/bootstrap.
Database: MongoDB AND Oracle. - okay, not quite so bad, but still.
Web services: RESTful, SOAP AND mulesoft?
Build server: Gradle, Jenkins, Hudson AND Bamboo? Are they just hoping for *someone* that knows what CI is in order to implement it for them?
Testing: SPock, jUnit, Geb - (I'm hoping that's what they are using Geb for )
Given the location, the crapshoot of tools involved, the fact they want a Jr. Dev with 8 years exp and that CI is listed 3 times - good indicator that mgmt is currently pissed off that things aren't talking to each other - I'm guessing this has "healthcare" written all over it. If so, no wonder that beast cost like a bazillion dollars to build -- but I'm hoping that I'm wrong. Either way, the job looks like the winning candidate would be stepping into a shit storm.

I've bolded all the ones I don't use my Chromebook for. There's an SSH client made by Google for Chrome that's better than anything I can get for Windows. I use it on my gaming PC too.
I neglected to mention that my computer is connected to my flatscreen and surround sound, and that we use it to watch movies/TV together.

@mr_seeker said:Apparently, when you use Internet explorer in combination with ASP websites (the old one that has the extension ASP) it will try to log in... Using your pc credentials.Nope, this happens when the website tries NTLM authentication. IE is the only browser that supports it, which is why other browsers just prompt you for username/password normally.
@mr_seeker said:I knew already that I had to go to a turkish website to get Word because else I could get compatibility problems (her pc is in Turkish, and I live in Holland), and probably needed to be in Turkey too to activate the licence.Wrong again. You can install and activate any language version of Office with any registration key (with Office 2007 and 2010 you can actually combine multiple language versions into a single installation by simply copying different installers all in the same directory, and you'll be able to choose the display language at any time; Office 2013 removes this loophole, and requires you to buy language packs separately; it does let you choose which language you want when you download the installer).

So I followed the link. The file was posted to that website in December 2011. The content seemed vaguely familiar and a quick search revealed that the content of that file is simply the first few posts that he made here back in February 2007. Also, for the purposes of that website the "text" file has been converted into some sort of Flash file and you have to pay them if you want to read all of it, download or print it. I smell a troll. A mentaly ill troll, but a troll nonetheless.

Hat off to you, sir.
I looked up the thread that was from. The really funny part is that was basically an in-joke among the people from IRC. ender is from Slovenia (or Slovakia..) and back when we had an IRC channel we would tease him for being from a poor country built by alcoholic nomads, which is honestly just the truth. He would tease back and it was all in good fun because ender wasn't some pathetic drama queen who couldn't take (or make) a joke.
So anyway, that's what Jeff S flipped out over. He considered making fun of Slovenia (or was it Slovakia) bordering on racism..

the history of Sin City, put on by Fun Factory to showcase its Stronic, a
new kind of sex toy capable of thrusting forward. The game is played to
raise money for charity.I heard about this from a national news channel, of all places. Before reaching the YouTube video I passed across Huffington Post, where they describe it's a race against the cock. *snicker*

This sounds related to that War On Women I've been hearing so much about. I guess they're fighting back.

Yes. It is simple physics as we studied in mechanical enginering class. That folding of metal is good for everyone.
@doomsought said:This is more because the vehicle was made after 2000 than an ishue of make and model. As a "safety feature", modern vehicles are deliberately designed such that in the event of the collision their front end will crumple like an empty soda can. Supposidly this causes the front end of thevehicle to absorb all of the energy of the collision, rather than you. its called a crumple zone. I for one, would prefer to ride around in a diesel powered brick of a truck that would use the car in front of me as a crumple zone instead. Sadly I have to make due with a little Ford Ranger, still it was made in the 1990's and I got it for cheap

Sure, it's pretty far down the totem pole development-wise, but it's mostly women here, which I like. I can't deal with men and their bad attitudes.

Could you at least step up the quality of your trolling then? I miss the questioning if you really believe some of the stuff you say.
Check out the thread about Linux and ease-of-use in "Side Bar, " or the long SSDS thread in "Funny Stuff."

it's indeed a scam. These plans aren't warranty at all, they're an insurance policy and have all the limits and restrictions of those as compared to a warranty plan. Also, depending on your jurisdiction, you might actually by law have warranty far exceeding what the warranty card that came with your product tells you you have. And for those things where it does appear worthwhile, the seller knows quite well that a) the vast majority of users will never have a valid claim (because the product is highly unlikely to develop a covered flaw before the "extended warranty" runs ou), b) the vast majority of people buying it will forget about having the coverage and/or lose the paperwork needed to actually make a claim and c) they unscrupulous ones count on the company issueing the coverage going out of business before any claims are likely to be issued (self liquidation, and just starting a new company every other year or so, or just economic reality, the one time I had such a plan the store I'd bought it was out of business when the product failed years later, there was no way to get it replaced)

Between paupers, you say? That sounds surprisingly honest. She's looking for a man who's ready for his next store-bought woman.
I was involved in a design discussion not too long ago in which the implementation of a "ThingItem" table was suggested. "Thing" itself had already been described in the lead-up to "ThingItem," IIRC. Certain possible directions were abandoned at that point, on the basis of absurdity. To be fair, "ThingItem" probably made more sense than some of the crap that anti-RDBMS people invent.
You can put whatever headers you want when sending the message over SMTP (although it also adds its own headers), so it would also be possible to add names into the CC list which are not actual recipients, or which are not even valid email addresses.
