Microsoft Customers Get No Bang for Buck
sammy baby writes "Software missing its ship date is commonplace enough that it's usually only mentioned for yuks. However, subscribers to Microsoft's Software Assurance program are discovering that it can have some very real repercussions. According to NetworkWorld, many licencees are discovering that due to slipping release dates, many thousands of dollars spent on these contracts have brought them zero return."
I'm constantly fingering things other than Microsoft ;)

My sister will give you plenty of bang for the buck.
The other thing that can make things fun, is that it work correctly but when you test, some other data set. It core dumps in your face. Or if you are working with agents that you don't have easy contact with (only email) and they make a mistake in their code, but as you code and test it out, it core dumps in your face again, and you have to spend the time to track down the bug, only to find it is not your code but some others code that is hitting you in the face, and that person has taken a vacation on you and you are stuck till they get back.
No I am not bad mouthing working with others, I am just saying that if you finish up and ship off an API you should not go on vacatoin the very next day.
Xenu implanted my body thetans liberally. He strapped them onto a ribbon on Teegeack and couldn't stop bombing them. He was performing engram implants. I couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. I told Xenu the Loyal Officers would not approve of a Galactic Overlord dealing with overpopulation in such a manner.
Can you believe it? Xenu did all this. He picked me off from the tax office, strapped my arms and legs down in the DC-8 space plane and just wouldn't stop dropping hydrogen bombs on me.
They definately were hydrogen bombs. The Loyal Officers(led by Elron Elray, natch) kept gathering support every time he bombed that volcano, but did he care? NO WAY! He just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed.I told Xenu the Loyal Officers would not approve of a Galactic Overlord dealing with overpopulation in such a manner.
This got to him, worrying about his image. he continued to bomb the volcano, all the while ignoring the Loyal Officer's rebellion. Then he flew to another planet, where they imprisoned him under a mountain! It was amazing. but surprisingly, after I woke up the next morning, I invented $cientology, and then my bank account had $150m in it!!!

If you're trying to get them on the cheap you're gonna get caught out. Try Staceys down the road if you want affordable and quality, get a hell of a good bang for your buck, and some more (if you pay)
Those Bastards!
Glad to see you get the same from Bill Gates.
Bragging about your endorsement by Kim Jong Il isn't going to help either Senator.You and your anti-American Party are toast come November.
