Of course... The time that it takes you to find the bug in a program you didn't write (and the specifications may not be open for you to quickly find it) then you fix the bug, if your fixed isn't approved to go back to the Core code, then you will need to check each time to see if the bug has been fixed and reapply the patch and test it every time. Sometimes it is much easier to code a work around, report the bug and continue on.
I think it comes down to the fact that they want to sell more Visual Studio... I have to admit Visual Studios is a Decent IDE. However if you you are doing PHP or Java. You might as well be using Eclipse or Netbeans as well other Decent IDE.
Being that ASP.NET only runs under Microsoft.NET framework or Mono. It gives developers a bad feeling if you are going to do anything beyond your intranet.
The trick is that Comcast is, that their service uses their "Internal Network" to give a "Value Add" service to "Their Customers", So in theory you are not Using your Internet Access to access the content thus doesn't affect your bandwidth cap. Because you bandwidth cap is for data that leaves Comcast's "Internal Network".
The rules would change, if you could access the data outside the Comcast network.
Because we all know if you disagree about a political position, it must because that side is doing something evil to want that position, so you must attack them to stop their evil.
I think the reason is simple. To keep you on Google and thinking of Google.
Google makes most of its money off of adds. Mostly from Google Search. The Google Search has competitors, Bing, Yahoo, etc... Offering services such as voice gmail, maps, etc... tries to make sure that your computing needs is close to Google. So if you are going to search there is a search box close by just ready for you to use it, and get related adds visible.
No way we need a manly game where the players dress up in tights and protective gear. And have a good portion of the game staring at each others butts.
You just don't know how important Football is. Heck you have something called Football... And for the most part the ball doesn't even come in contact with your feet, except for an optional game play.
OK, the official title for this phenomena is "Opportunity Costs".
When you are 16 there are less risks in life so your "Opportunity Costs" are more level. You choose to learn SSH vs. Hanging out with your friends when you are 16 doesn't have much weight, as you can do both, or the risk of not doing one for the other doesn't cause a major (short term) problem.
When you are 35, learning SSH vs. Getting your work load done. Does give you a different weights for your Opportunity, SSH you may be able to Google later if you need to master it, but you need to get your work done now or you will not get paid. There are weights and more severe consequences for choosing one option or the other.
If you have to buy your own food, shelter and a family that needs food and shelter too. You need to balance your time on knowing what you should learn and what you need to do.
I am Implying that Atheists are a Minority Group that if they are known they are an Atheist they will be treated as some type of social outcast from the general public.
Still the Normal Citizen are WASP White Anglo Saxon Protestant. The fact that a group is so how not normal doesn't mean that they are bad or should strive towards normality. But for the most part if you are WAS most people will assume the P, unless they make a point about it. By stating that they are Catholic, Atheist, Jewish or some other religion.
While Homosexuality gets a lot of discrimination and hate... For the most part they are living an above average standard of life, so they have money, so advertising targeted towards them is valuable. It comes down to a group that doesn't quite fit in well with the general public and Adds saying We will welcome you to come to our location where you won't feel like an outcast. So Advertising targeted to that group is far more effective... Thus costs more.
Many Other Minorities don't work as well. Minority Races - for the most part the have a lower then average salary. That means most of the people will be less likely to spend money. Non-Christians - For the religious non-Christians they have their places of worship where they feel like they belong. For Atheists for most places they go they are able to pass as a normal citizen. And if their religion doesn't have much of a dress requirement they are normally able to pass off anyways. For some of the real minorities the numbers are too small to advertise for.
People do it all the time. They feel the need to stick it to the man, they believe in a get rich scheme or both. They go out full cock until until reality hits them like a train. They loose everything. I have seen a case where a Guy who was running a business sold it to an other company just as long as he would stay the manager. So they kept him, during this time he got Pissed off because he had to deal with bosses who were telling him to do things he didn't want to do (BTW he sold his company because he couldn't make it profitable, and the buyer was giving directions on how to make it profitable). So he quit, and stole all the companies data, and tried to start his own business by taking away customers because there will be a 0 migration problems. So he got sued. He ended up paying the cost that he sold his business and then some (legal costs) for and forced to close his business. So the new company got a unit for free. and he got nothing, and if anyone does a background check on him he will get limited career options.
That may be part of the reason, but I think it may also be that they don't want people to just dump the platform (Not buy new games or new consoles) figuring that the brand new system will soon be out.
If they can release at the same time Xbox360 lite and the 720 then they are in a good position. First game sellers will still sell their old stuff for all those people who got the 360 lite where they were just too expensive before and the Hardcore will get the 720.
Microsoft made a fare amount of ground against Nintendo with its Konnex games and their casual Gamers marketing campaign.
Well to be fair not everyone had SSH when they were 16 years old...
I was 16 once, and I would try to figure out how to do all the cool new trick that my new systems has... As we get older we get in a groove (mostly due to the fact that we are paid to do a particular job, and if we spend too much time finding something new and cool would prevent us from getting things done by are estimated time)
And after 8+ hour of work when we get home the last thing we want to do is more work.
When I was in Boy Scouts I hiked the Rocky Mountains... After hours of hiking any food tastes good. If the food was served slightly better then others then it really tasted good.
A little while I bought some beef jerky (something I really liked to eat during that trip) it didn't taste as good as I remembered. Because I wasn't as hungry as before.
For airline flight you are being rather passive, for most people they are eating as it is something to do, and less because they are starving for food.
There is a cost if people are too grumpy especially if they are hungry. Fruits and Vegies are healthy but for some people it makes them go. Which is bad. It is usually better to put them in a food coma, to keep us passive during the flight.
Well some people have low tolerances towards spicy food, for them it isn't that it tastes bad, but it is painful to eat. Then you need to try to be respectful of religions, So Shepherd's pie with Beef and Milk in the Potato's Make goes against Hindu, Jewish and Muslims values. So you are better off serving food that doesn't really taste good but doesn't taste horrible either. Where people will eat it because they are hungry. The Idea to not serve food on these flights may be going too far. Because even a 1 hour flight without food/drink does get painful. I remember one time Going from Pittsburgh to Baltimore the flight was too rough that they couldn't serve drinks, (well it was worse the turbulence happened mid way so half of the people got drinks) I was quite miserable as I was very dehydrated at the time, and all I wanted was some normal water.
People do not want to pay an inflation adjusted price of $10,000 per ticket. The olden day there was high service people people who flew would pay for the premium price. Now the price of Fuel is much higher, and more people are demanding to travel. And the price of any luxury adds a lot to the cost of the flight.
Think about it, A full kitchen where you can put 30 more people per flight. Would add about $200 to the price of your ticket, Just due to the space. Then there is hiring people to do the work, store the extra food... It adds up.
As customers we decided that we would prefer cheaper rates and be treated like cattle, then to pay a lot more and treated like a human.
I don't think there is a rule expressing that an outside entity can do the search, if they enter with the appropriate Warrent. I mean we can have Private Investigators do searches, it would make sense when investigating digital data that law enforcement brings experts to let them know what to look for. Otherwise you get a bunch of cops tare a building apart and not really know what to use and what to ignore.
And the stupid system administrator didn't bother putting in a password.
How Jurassic Park should have ending. Hey this is Unix I know this. Login: root Password: ummm Password?

Crap well we need to find an other way as the system administrator has gotten eaten alive and we don't know the systems password. Lets see if we can find the emergency boot disk... 1/2 hour later. Hey we found it. Ok this is a Cray Super Computer. Lets try to find the Drive. Opening random panels on the super computer... Until the find the disk. They pop in the disk, find the power plug reboot the system... However although it is unix. It was a Cray so she didn't quite know how boot from External Media...
I think Science Fiction had made us want a Holodeck like entertainment. If you cannot touch or interact we want 3D where it surrounds us. Not a TV that tends to give some depth to what we are looking at. 3D TV doesn't really effect most people because most people don't watch TV like they do movies. They watch TV slightly distracted.
There is a cultural idea of "If you are smart then you must hate things".
This goes for the Wine Tasters who will discredit popular wine just because it is popular and rave about the more expensive paint splitting stuff just because it is more expensive. So they can seem like they know what they are talking about.
To Music/Art critics who complain that everything is derivative just to make a point that that they seem a commonality.
To IT people who say that whatever popular software/hardware is somehow worse then it was before because of its improvements and it did it as a trade-off.
I think there is a conspiracy idea that the best stuff in the world is reserved for the select few while the other stuff in the world meant for the common man is inferior.
While some stuff is premium and is of high quality and out of the reach of the normal needs of the common person but others things are far superior although they are mass produced and simplified for the common man.
When you tell people things they really should know anyways causes them to react funny.
Just like Romney and the Etch-A-Sketch incident. This is how elections work. The candidate shifts solidly into their parities position during the primaries, then they shift into a more moderate stance during the general election. It happens, but if someone tell you that they are going to do that then you feel all pissed off about it.
For technology sales when you have a new product ready for a release you will need to do the following. 1. Drop the price of your current model. If they know something new is coming out at near the same price. You better drop the price of your current model to keep sales running. While a portion of the people are going to wait for the new version, others are waiting for the price drop.
2. Offer a free/greatly reduced upgrade plan, this is for software such as Microsoft Vista systems with Windows 7 coupons, when Windows 7 release was soon to come out... That way people would buy PC until 7 came out.
3. Don't release your timeline until the product is nearly done, where you are not risking a major loss, buy you get to build buzz for the new version.
