QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) This is fundamentally untrue about everything I've said and you ought to know it. I can't tell if you do or if you just stopped caring. Okay, I'll turn the conversation a bit from the "insults". Are you against nuclear? Are you against CO2? What are you for for energy policy? And what does that do to you as an indivdual? My brush was more broader (hugely so) of what you seemed to be driving at - I know you're against C02, and you seem to be against nuclear, yet, as "modern humanity", we pretty much have to go back pre industrial age to make a difference.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 11:43 AM) Sounds like we're only days from the Portugal bailout. That would leave Spain as the only one of the PIGS countries standing. Where the hell did you get that? Spain going under would start a lot worse of a circus.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 10:41 AM) You clearly have no interest in any discussion, just insults. So are you, but you just link it to your own beliefs and mock everyone else. The whole point of your perceived "insult" is for all of the back and forth, unless we die, the answer's wrong for the "environment". Utopian beliefs and altruistic crap doesn't change that.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) The mail programs use different protocols than OTA/web, which is always going through port 80/443, this is a front end, which then goes to the exchange server via the protocols it understands. Actual email programs on a computer/phone will use exchange, imap, pop, protocols, which are completely different ports. This is probably blocked. I'm pretty sure it is. Oh well, blackberry it is.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 05:25 PM) Okay, so let me preface this by saying I made a mistake about which job I'm interviewing for. I applied for two (the one I mentioned above and a Procurement Agent). Well, when they called and mentioned the "Supply Chain job" I applied for, I assumed that they meant the "Supply Chain Analyst" position I referenced above. Turns out it is actually for the Procurement Agent position, but it's in Seattle not St. Louis. Not sure how much that changes your answer b/c it sounds like you'd be better off discussing their procurement jobs but it's not in STL (where you most business). Also, I am just coming out school (graduate in May), but I took off a whole semester last Spring and did a full-time Co-op with General Electric. They kept me on full-time through the summer and part-time last Fall, so I have about a year of real world experience. Thanks again, Kap. And sorry for the confusion on the first job I mentioned. Actually, I can almost give you better answers on procurement because that's who I deal with almost every day... well, as much as a finance guy does. I have to clean up our program manangement's crap. I'll come back to this later this weekend.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 07:50 AM) Kap, I think LF's sig is the appropriate reply. You live in such a perfect utopia that nothing has to effect you, huh? Just only those evil energy using people must suffer, right?

I know, let's all go live in a f***ing cave, sell everything you have that have any amounts of carbon footprints in it at all, and most importantly, get off the computer. That will solve all of the world's problems, since we're all either going to die from CO2 or nuclear or bulls*** overload.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 11:37 PM) You mean like a separate app or from the browser? What I'm looking for is an app that will pull from the browser. I did find one (exchangit) but it didn't work.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 24, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) Do they have a proxy or web server set up for mobile devices? Do you have a webmail login for exchange? Usually that is the server that I use at work, I use my webmail credentials and the webmail server. Yes, well, that's the thought... We can access through the web (outlook web access - aka, the webmail login for exchange that we're using) through any website. But when I go to put those credentials into some of the mail programs it always fails.

Okay, I'll throw this out there and I'm not sure if any of you can help me or not... any of you ever use your andriod to hook up to an owa (outlook web access) application and it actually work? I cannot find a damn piece of software for the phone that actually works on my phone. The IT guy isn't seeing any settings on the exchange server that would block it. We can't directly hook up to th exchange server because our IT f***ers in Canada won't let us, but I was trying the work around using the owa (browser) site.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) Position: Supply Chain Management Analyst Location: St. Louis, MO Not sure if this will help, but this is what I got from their job site. Thanks, Kap. That's who we do business with the most (STL). Of course, we're dealing with procurement mostly (buyers)... so what you are doing will dovetail in a little with what we deal with. Actually, I could probably ask our buyer for some insight into the process. She's pretty cool to work with. The biggest part of the interview - you'll get the standard "tell me when..." BS type of questions (difficulties and how you overcame them, etc.) and you'll get the systems questions... but for supply chain, if you can give them some concrete examples of anything you've done of routings and saving money in a supply chain, or any ideas about how you negotiate, that's extremely important for supply chain and materials management. So, in your experiences, relate it to those types of things - even if you've got little "real world" experiences, negotiation and dealing with people and how you can relate it to how you can be super organized will be the key. (Forgive me, I can't remember - I think you're just coming out of school, right? I'd answer this a bit differently if not.)

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 09:02 PM) I have an interview with Boeing next week... I don't need advice on general preparation as I've been through a few interviews in the last year, but was wondering if anyone had any specific knowledge of their interview process or anything interesting about the company I should know. I doubt I'll get an answer, but just thought I'd ask... Fot what position? And where? As much detail as you can give me would help, because I/we work with Boeing daily - not corp, but elsewhere...

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 22, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) Commercial-grade thorium reactors are still years away, but that's probably what you're thinking of. Yep. That was it. See, to me, that's what you invest in. Do it. Now. And you get rid of a lot of problems. So, what's the risk (I see the "downsides" but that's different then risk). That's from wikipedia... it's very interesting to me that people aren't way more in favor of figuring this out.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 22, 2011 -> 05:35 PM) Vogtle and VC Summer are moving right along. Of course, if we're going to complain about the need for government subsidies for nuclear, you can't turn around and whine that wind and solar don't get enough subsidies (and they don't). You're still left with the problem that we've no way to replace baseload power supplies with a non-nuclear power plant that doesn't emit carbon for any time in the foreseeable future. The article mentions both the hyped "nuclear renaissance" and the failure to pass carbon laws but doesn't take that to it's logical conclusion: nuclear was being hyped several years back because it was assumed that the Democrats would finally stop being a bunch of p*****s and actually pass something for once. Perhaps I am not remembering this right, but isn't there existing technology (aka, elements) that give off the same energy producing reactions without the radioactive elements? It seems to me that there's technology that's out there besides uranium that gives us the energy needs but it's much more rare and much more expensive? Or am I not remembering right?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 22, 2011 -> 07:11 AM) Finished my last exam for the semester, drinking a Duvel to celebrate, doing laundry then packing up and getting ready to head out to the airport. Doing these next 5 weeks big, got 3 trips planned: 1) London Edinburgh 2) Barcelona Marrakech Lisbon Zurich 3) Belgium Berlin Krakow Vienna Spend a recovery night in between each at my apartment in Rotterdam, last night will be in Amsterdam and flying back to the States early on April 26th. I can't believe Im about to do this!! Oh, and Barcelona rocks. Been there too. (offshoot of Libya thread, heh)

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 22, 2011 -> 06:06 AM) Did you by chance go to Marrakech? Yes. Was there for 4 or 5 days. It's all pink. And don't photograph the police officers. They get mad. The souk there is right off the main square in the center of town. Of course the main square is probably where a lot of the political gatherings are going to be, which is unfortunate. The charm there is unmistakeable - the snake charmers, the food, the souk sort of blends in the square. One of the more interesting memories of there is the early morning call to prayer - the streets are deserted and then they are just jam packed all at once right when the sun comes up. One thing I love about Morocco is the architecture. Marrakech, like I said, has all pink walls surrounding the old city. Back when I was there, the city was sort of just getting outside of the walled part, I'm sure it's grown well beyond it now. Have fun bartering with the merchants.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 20, 2011 -> 09:04 PM) Yeah I'm calling bulls*** here. I paid a lot of attention to conservative talk then (didn't have much choice being in the military, having Fox on all the time, being around Republicans all the time) and nobody seriously criticized him until like 2007 when some things became really obvious, and Bush started to not matter. And even then, it was more like "Bush wasn't conservative enough" when he was pushing the conservative agenda EXACTLY as scripted. Uhhhh... that's when he decided that spending didn't matter. And immigration. And... the list goes on... so I call bulls*** back.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2011 -> 05:35 PM) Obama is a hypocrite. Welcome to 2009. LMAO. It only took 6.5 years to figure out (try 2004).

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 21, 2011 -> 07:44 AM) I signed up for auto alerts on safety levels for tourists in Morocco from the US Govt, and got one a few days ago saying that there would be protests in almost all major cities during the time I will be there. Im sure hoping it stays civil and the situation doesn't explode while Im there. The email did advise that it is fine for tourists to still go there, but to avoid the protests, because even though they are planned to be civil that violence could always breakout. Morocco is awesome... well, for the history and beauty anyway. Was there for almost a month a while back.

Damn.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) What, like 8 conservatives? Yea, the ones that actually have a brain and aren't trying to impress liberals for no reason.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) Some of the stories were generally disgusting to the point that I really didn't find myself entertained by reading them (the quiet Asian girl and the girl who would do anything specifically). I enjoyed most of his book, even if a lot of it really is fabricated. Now, back on topic Shut yer pie hole.

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) I work for Hertz and can help you out w/ a discount code. PM me for details if you need it. Help, help.

Does anyone on here have a ME background? And then, to be more specific, have any metal work experience? If so, tell me... have I got the job for you.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 02:49 PM) BALTA NERD ALERT Oohhh... So, is the blue ray worth it?
