9/16    Software jobs available at Intel.  See /csua/pub/jobs/intel
        -emarkp
        \_ How much is your ref. bonus?
        \_ Emailed received from Intel upper middle manager signed off with
           the phrase, "Have a productive day, Joe".  No thanks.
           \_ What does this even mean?  If you're trying to make a
              statement, it would help if you constructed a valid
              sentence.  I'm in the group that's hiring.  I like the
              group, and put the job listing up as a favor.  We're
              looking to extend several job offers before the end of the
              year.  If you send a decent resume, you'll probably get an
              interview (though I recommend using correct or at least
              reasonably decipherable English on your resume). -emarkp
              \_ A bit touchy?  Check with your HS english teacher.  That
                        \_ only if the e-mail signed off, not the manager
                           try "manager who signed off..."
                 is a valid sentence.
                 \_ only if the e-mail signed off, not the manager try
                           you're totally on target about the grammar, that's
                           entirely unrelated to the point, namely that Intel
                           is a slave ship.  ROW!... ROW!... ROW!  When you hit
                           your early 30s and they fire you to make way for 5
                           NCG's, don't come crying to the motd about it.
                    "manager who signed off..."
                    \_ That's incorrect.  "manager" is the object of the
                       VP "signed off".  Don't make me get my grammar
                       books out and go balistic on your slave ass.
                       -Straight A English Major
                 \_ "Emailed received"? I don't think do.
                     \_ Sure is.  You're simply wrong.  Sorry.  Even if
                        you're totally on target about the grammar,
                        that's entirely unrelated to the point, namely
                        that Intel is a slave ship.  ROW!... ROW!...
                        ROW!  When you hit your early 30s and they fire
                        you to make way for 5 NCG's, don't come crying
                        to the motd about it.
                        \_ That's a lovely myth.  Come back when you can
                           think for yourself. -emarkp
                           \_ http://www.faceintel.com  Some time soon you might want
                              to start thinking for yourself instead of letting
                              your manager do it for you.  Or maybe these
                              people are *all* just liars and nincompoops.
                              Yeah, that's it.
                              \_ Actually, the stuff in faceintel reads
                                 like tabloid.  I've never seen or heard
                                 of anything like this in my department.
                                 Obviously I can only speak for my
                                 department, but it's remarkable this
                                 nut feels like he can speak for the
                                 entire company. -emarkp
                 ... The second sentence is accepted slang.
                 I have a decent resume but don't need an Intel slave job.  I
                 suppose having Intel on your resume as a NCG is good but I'm
                 too old for that crap.  I don't need it.  Thanks.
                       start thinking for yourself instead of letting
                       your manager do it for you.  Or maybe these people are
                       *all* just liars and nincompoops.  Yeah, that's it.
                 \_ What is it with the "corporate slave" stuff?  I get
                    paid well, I develop software I'm proud of, I go
                    home at 5pm, and I get regular raises, bonuses, and
                    stock options.  Furthermore, the belief that Intel
                    will fire you after a few years for a recent college
                    grad is a myth, at least in my department. -emarkp
                           \_ http://www.faceintel.com  Some time soon you might want
                              to start thinking for yourself instead of letting

                              Yeah, that's it.
                              \_ I don't trust Intel, but I don't trust a site
                                 either.

        might be able to hit Intel up for donated/partially donated (reduced
        price) Core i7 Xeons when they come out?  Who would be a good person
        to contact about something like that?  We're of course willing to put
        out for them - perhaps we'll tattoo an Intel logo on toulouse if that's
        what they want :-p  -- steven
