ethereal Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Frank: If yer desktop still belongs to the elite Pentium group (PIIIs to PIVs), there's no need to go for a laptop. Unless of course if yer kids are gonna be away from home - if ye'r from the province or something. The only advantage of laptop computers is, needless to say, mobility. Quite expensive as well. Upgrading can be a pain in the arse. You only use laptops if ye'r working for a company that makes u travel, do presentations, on-the-fly imaginative marketing - the works. And apparently, laptops were'nt really designed for gaming. Quote Link to comment
jackryan Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Salamat po sir. Nope, it wasn't obstructing the free flow of traffic in that area (within downtown Manila). In fact, it was in a secondary, obscure street that I have parked numerous times in the past. I was very much bothered by the fact that: 1) They cannot provide any particular regulation, municipal or MMDA ordinance of my particular traffic penalty except that I have to pay for Php 200 (with receipt from City of Manila) and 1500 (for towing charges for first 4 kms which I think is quite unreasonable amount) 2) My car was singled out being a new CRV model while the other vehicles parked in the same side of the street as me were left out Is there any particular person or email address to write to? Thanks,-jackryan 8) Quote Link to comment
Frank Sinatra Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 (edited) Ethereal thanks for the reply. From your answer you appear to be knowledgable on laptops so I"ll take your advice. Salamat uli. Edited July 30, 2003 by Frank Sinatra Quote Link to comment
zoya Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Jack Ryan, tanong lang po kung ikaw ba iyong prtege ni Tom Clancy? Tanong lang din po. Mag one year na po ako sa company namin. My employer promised to give me Pxxxx.xx after three months ng probation period ko. Until now, di pa rin po binibigay. I asked for an employment contract before para may document po akong pinanghahawakan, wala pong ibinigay sa akin. Pag I am asking my employer for my pay, sabi di pa kaya ibigay ng company. Pano ko po sasabihin sa kanila na they should give me the amount promised to me? Hirap lang po kasi maghanap ng work ngayon. Whew... :cry: Quote Link to comment

leinad31 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 (edited) guys i need help i have kids one fourth year high school going to college and one in high school.We have a PC at home. My question is do i need a laptop.Ano pros and cons ng laptop.The laptop pldt is advertising ok ba yon.Thanks for those who are going to reply.And have a good day to all.As Ethereal explained, mobility is the primary reason to get a laptop. So the question is, would mobility be a necessity later on if not now. Kung Computer Science related, involves lots of multimedia presentations, or involves numerous group brainstorming sessions with a PC course ng mga anak mo, laking pasalamat nila sa iyo kung laptop kunin mo. Mahirap magbitbit ng desktop sa school every time na lang may demo, or presentation, at during thesis defense (sa mga ComSci). Lalong advantageous kung may LAN card laptop at desktop; you can easily transfer files between the two or share an internet connection. So mangyayaring setup kapag ganun, sa kanila desktop sa iyo laptop. Pero pwede nila hiramin laptop kung kelangan for school ek ek. Edited July 30, 2003 by leinad31 Quote Link to comment
Frank Sinatra Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 leinad31 thank you sa reply mo. Kung di ComSci course ang kunin ng kid ko will the laptop come in handy.Gamitin kaya ang laptop.Now I am having second thoughts leinad31.Ano added advantage ng laptop even though may PC na ako. Maraming salamat po. PS Ok ba yun laptop advertise by pldt? Quote Link to comment

The law says that you if work one day over 6 months, you become a regular employee. Since you are hired under the guise of probation, it necessarily follows, that you beomce regular after a given period never to exceed 6 months. If you have been working this past year without pay? or little pay? Whatever the case may be, I admire you for taking the sacrifice. Feel free to add more data so that we may help you more.

tabitz Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Medyo magulo ang facts. Your friend is being charged of "forging" a signature for a letter of termination? Who was terminated? Your friend or another employee. If such was the case, was the termination of the said employee valid? Who instructed your friend to place the scanned signature in the first place. In case of forgery, there must be a showing that such forgery was intended to defraud someone. Without such intent (criminal intent) there cannot be any crime. Thus, if your friend was instructed to terminate the employee in the first place, then there cannot be any forgery because he was given the authority to terminate in the first place. medyo magulo nga po ung pagkalahad ko.... naterminate ung friend ko thru yahoo messenger of his boss which is nasa US that time....his boss send him a termination letter without his(boss) signature....yong kasamahan nya nag suggest na gamitin ung scanned signature to make the termination latter be formal......so he did it.....with a witnesses na pinirmahan ng kasamahan nyang nga suggest na gamitin ung signature at yong executive secretary ng company....... so may laban po ba yong friend ko if ever mag file ng case against him?....... :o bale ano po yong kaparusahan ng case na yan?.... maraming salamat po...

Cyber_pinoy Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Ok yan sir. May I add to that, an employer impresses their new employees for an increase in salary when you are in your probation period. But these employers never put their promises in writing. They always inform the employee verbally. Once you are regularized, you will be expecting your increase, but unfortunately, there is such a term as management's prerogatives wherein the increase in salary is covered. This may also be in form of bonuses, incentive pay and etc, of the same nature. The employer can't commit itself to their promises, specially if conveyed verbally because they can tell you all the reasons in the world not to increase your salary for the moment. If I were you, you should have asked a commitment letter from your employer before you accepted their offer. At least you could have shown said commitment letter in the time of regularization. What you think sir Roubaix? Quote Link to comment
