Anyone know how to make these type of boxes for wiki's?

I have a family friend who is suffering under horrific, abusive working conditions. The supervisor is verbally and emotionally abusive, and is physically menacing. She regularly withholds pay, or reduces pay, and has caused my friend and their partner much anguish.

Where can they report this person? This company is so small they have no HR recourse. To boot, this person is illegal but my friend hesitates to call immigration services because quite a few others there are illegal themselves.

And no, the friend is not illegal, which makes this more absurd.

Your state dept of labor.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Your state dept of labor.

Thank you very much. My Google-Fu didn't turn up much except for OSHA, and that wasn't appropriate.

 

[Zoe]

Thank you very much. My Google-Fu didn't turn up much except for OSHA, and that wasn't appropriate.

In the meantime, have her keep a journal to log every instance of the abuse.

Just keep in mind that involving any kind of authority could potentially lead to getting immigration involved.

in medical coding what the hell is a G-code???????

"G-codes are HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedural Coding System) codes that were developed to enable reporting of data for the calculation of quality measures. These codes supplement the usual claims data with clinical data that can be used to measure quality of services provided to beneficiaries. Each of the quality measures is assigned a G-code."

If I could create new threads, I would think that this would be thread-worthy. As it is, I'll just leave it here:

Giveaway of the Day is giving DVDFab DVD Copy away for free today.

From what I've heard, this is a very good program to use for backing up your dvd collection, whether it be to a hard drive or compressed onto a rewriteable dvd. The promotion apparently allows for 1 year of free updates, and supposedly can crack almost any protection (negating the need for additional software, such as AnyDVD). As always, this software is listed for personal use only, and distribution of copyrighted material is considered piracy.

If anybody wishes to make a new thread for this, feel free.

I would hope so. This woman is horrific and deserves to be deported.

My cat walked across my keyboard, and now every time I highlight text a blinking cursor appears (like when typing in Microsoft Word), even though I obviously cannot change the text. It's not a big deal, but it's pretty annoying. Does anyone know how to change it back to normal?

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

My coworker, a male, got a talking to by the head of our firm about how ne needs to have more backbone and initiative.

He is now sobbing outside my office.

I want to tell him to not be a pussy and if he has to, to take it into the bathroom.

Or should I just hand him a tampon?

Honestly, I would feel the most guilt about handing him the tampon, because I don't want to associate being a woman with weakness.

This, but not as blunt.

Isn't that use of "pussy" a way of saying that women are weak, anyway? <__<

But, for some odd reason, I find myself reverting back to my team sports days.

you could say "pussy" as in "pussy cat" as in "cats are weak"

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

I just talked to him.

I said, "I know its stressful to have a talk like that. But, you've gotta sack up to show that you can hang."

I think he went to the bathroom to finish crying.

Knowing that I have a 22' monitor, is it better to watch 720p videos in 16:10 when using VLC/MPC ?

Also, how is the quality of old animes (cowboy bebop, evangelion) DVDs ? (region 2)

The boss tells him to have more backbone and his response is to cry?

edit: Scratch that, it would squish the image to fit the screen, it's better to watch 720p videos in their native aspect ratio (16:9) unless you want a squished picture, ultimately the choice is yours.

Also, how is the quality of old animes (cowboy bebop, evangelion) DVDs ? (region 2)

Should be alright.

Is "addicting" a real word? I see it used around here a lot.

 

[Cyan]

Is "addicting" a real word? I see it used around here a lot.

Sure. It's the continuous form of the verb "addict."

It is most definitely not an adjective, which is the way everyone uses it.

Are you using Firefox? F7 turns Caret Browsing on and off.

Its status as a word seems to still be in contention. Wikitionary's talk page on the word has some opposing viewpoints and sources.

Yes, it is. The fact that people use it makes it a word. >_> Old stodgy bums may disapprove, but they're silly.

Arlight, so my computer has been having trouble booting in cold weather, but after one or two bluescreens it would work fine. I determined that i had incorrectly pasted my processor, so i got new thermal paste shipped to me. It arrived today, and in the process of taking out and cleaning my chip, i noticed that two of the pins on the underside were bent. Checking the socket on the motherboard, i saw faint impressions of the pins, telling me that the entire time i'd been using this processor, two of the pins were bent out of shape.

The computer has been running fine as long as i keep the room heated, but i want to know what are the possible dangers of me continuing to run the computer with a somewhat broken CPU.

I'm not sure why heat would make the computer run better. It should be the other way around.

Is it possible to screw up or break a laptop by pushing it too hard? For instance, by running a video game on it that it can run, but can just barely handle and is playing at like 12 frames per second? Could this overheat it or something?

yeah but if it overheats it'll turn itself off. shouldn't cause any damage.

I don't know, but that's just what happens. The question is what are the dangers of using and continuing to use a cpu with bent pins (it's in and working now, despite the pins)

 

[EricHasNoPull]

to .gif Savvy GAF: I just have a quick question and in hopes it could be answered quickly

I am desperately looking for the picture ( I guess it's not even a gif) but it's a screen shot...(or was it an animated gif??, can;t remember anymore) of Don Draper (Mad Men) from Season 4 in the shot where he is drunk and pitching ideas to two of his clients..it's the episode where they are all drunk and just got back from winning the advertising award for Glo-coat!

the photo reads "Everybody just chill the fuck out, I got this!"

I need this photo so bad, b/c we were trying to solve a problem at work for like 2 days now, and I finally figure it out this morning, I want to print out this photo and show it off!

Please anyone?

NOTE: Google images was no help!

If an ambulance is speeding down the road to some emergency with sirens blaring but they pass some scene where there are clearly injured people in danger (say some really bad car crash or something) will they stop at that scene or continue on to the original emergency?

Why do touchscreen keyboards still use QWERTY? Surely there must be something more efficient? (especially with swiping or whatever it's called)

Please anyone?

Probably too late, but for next time:

Why do touchscreen keyboards still use QWERTY? Surely there must be something more efficient? (especially with swiping or whatever it's called)

I'm thinking that people are so used to QWERTY now that it is the most efficient.

 

[Cyan]

Why do touchscreen keyboards still use QWERTY? Surely there must be something more efficient? (especially with swiping or whatever it's called)

The same reason everything else uses QWERTY: it's locked in.

People learn to type on QWERTY -> products are made using QWERTY -> people learn to type on QWERTY -> etc

People don't want to learn a whole new method of typing just for one device.

Libertarians hate this concept, BTW.

2 small questions:


There was thread here about some prototype of type of CSI technology where it showed a guy using his thumb and index finder to move things from the screen to paper, paper to screen, etc. Also he saw the weather as if it was a video.

Is there any site where it can could tell the number of specific characters that users states in list of characters in terms of percentage, total number of characters, number of times it appears. For example how many R there are in ARGSSSRRAA.

Do you happen to need that for protein/DNA sequence analysis?

Long shot but if so, http://www.bioinformatics.org/sms2/protein_stats.html

Me love that site.

Yes, definitely for protein and dna stuff that I am working on. Thank you so much.

Stupid question.

Why the fuck can't you just inject yourself with a syringe of midi-chlorians. They're microorganisms so apparently they give people force powers. Why the he'll can't I just grow them in a lab. They can make a fucking light saber, but they can't grow some mold.

I wish I could exist in the star wars universe. I'd inject myself with force powers and feel the rush of power like a crack addict.
