Wait! So, does that mean you are very nimble and make a hammer do you want? Or does that mean that you are clumsy and it smarts when you smash your various parts whilst using a hammer?
I would say your logic was dizzying, but then I'd be quoting a movie. You are as frail of mind as you are of ability. I suggest you get out of the IT field if you are actually in it.
My question was extremely relevant because the answer is that there are very few jobs that will let you bring your equipment to work, and fewer still that ask you to do so. Idiot.
Second point, your evidence is even less than mine, because I actually reference something. Give me a reference and I may say that you aren't a complete idiot.
Oh, wait, another reason to say you are an idiot - Javascript IS a C derivative.
Seriously, if a chump like you is actually in programming, I want to get a job as a Ruby developer (my point: I don't know anything about it, as you obviously don't about this subject) Idiot.
As for your activeX reply - get real. The big boys don't play in the little sandbox that you attribute to the corporate world. The things that you complain about are possible and routinely done where necessary. And it really isn't necessary in the majority of cases. Idiot.
And for the last - did I say small business? No. Geez, I think I am referring to large business. Maybe you haven't heard but most of the largest use Linux. Idiot.
You completely missed my point about the Taliban. I think we should have decimated the Taliban. If we were going to really do something about Al-Qaeda, we should have done it properly. We didn't.
As far as Hussein goes: why did we target him? Think carefully on that, because Hussein was not the worst offender out there and never has been.
I agree with your point. Not only that, but to learning how to fix cars can actually foster some understanding, however limited, of basic to intermediate level mechanics and electronics, depending on the vehicle. Sure, you probably won't understand engine harmonics and such, but that's what engineering classes are for.
When we pull out, North Vietnam will take south Vietnam and the world will suddenly become a lot more dangerous (after all there were lots of terrorists in Vietnam before we became involved).
Fast Forward to current fictional times:
The last time we talked with anyone over in that area, we were unwilling to make even any decent compromise. Why? Because our "cowboy president" doesn't negotiate.
Also, let us take time to remember the fallen Taliban and Al-Qaedan governments in Iraq.
Yes, I am a sarcastic asshole, but I make a point.
As an aside that isn't sarcastic, Obama stated that he intends to remove bin Laden. That's what we should have been doing in the first place.
Well, to be honest, that was with a democratic majority in the legislative side of things.
To the gp:
Not that a nominal amount of redistribution of wealth is a bad thing. It's called a progressive tax and is a generally accepted (especially as it was in play for the greater part of the establishment known as the United States government). The progressive tax is more obvious in the times of warfare during World War II and all previous wars. Guess what - it doesn't inconvenience the economy. Lower income families are better able to afford necessities and higher income families and corporations aren't much affected, unless they are already completely fiscally irresponsible.
Riddle me this; name one close personal or professional associate of Sen. Obama that isn't a) a commununist radical, b) islamic extremist or c) part of the corrupt Chicago machine.
Even though you butchered a sentence that should have been a question based on its opening phrase, I'll tackle this one.
Who would know this information in a general sense? Unless I pointed this out: According to both candidates, John McCain qualifies.
While I am at it, you used the word "close" to modify both categories. I challenge you to find one in each category that is indeed close. Although, I think that by "close" you mean "has ever been in close physical proximity" when referring to the negative and "knows rather well and cares for" when referring to the positive. You are still wrong either way, but I will give you the chance to spout your drivel a bit farther afield.
The core of many philosophies derive from another source altogether. In that you can be certain. Because of that very thing, you can't necessarily say that a philosophical position belongs to any particular philosophy centered on that concept. That is, not until you ask the person who made that statement where he came by said idea.
Side note: Marx's ideas weren't anything new. They were simply one of the easiest to understand (and because of this, more prone to misinterpretation) presentations thereof.
Point A - That response was not irrelevant. Use some logic. Here is the question I posed later in my post (learn to read the entire post before posting):
As far as fitting in with a corporate network - ? When was the last time you got hired into a company that asked you to bring your own computer because they are not providing one?
Seriously, do you think that Windows computers have major issues on running on a corporate Linux network? No. Why should Linux have issues running on a Microsoft network?
Point B - Bullshit. Give me the stats on that. Most of the programmers I know say that C (and it's close derivatives) is the most used programming language. Perhaps VB is the most used Beginners language.
Point C - Perhaps trolling is the wrong word, as I don't think you are doing it for kicks.Active X isn't the future of the IT worlds nor is it the basis for everything out there anyway. Besides this, there are ways to work out Active-X problems with Linux, it just isn't natively supported and really shouldn't be.
Point D - None of the businesses that I've known that have IT professionals with a decent amount of intellect have castrated themselves when switching to Linux. If you can't figure it out, perhaps the reason why is found in this paragraph.
How did it do in categories like connecting with Exchange?
Divisive issue - Microsoft does not design things with compatibility in mind.
Processing large spreadsheets with VBA macros?
Visual basic = not so great Microsoft code. Why the hell are people sending around large spreadsheets with shitty code?
Running company-critical active-X components?
WTF? Stop trolling. Active-X applications are the bane of open source, Security-hole-ridden and poorly-designed, as a general rule. Besides this, as above, Microsoft does not like interoperability.
Running Photoshop, indesign or illustrator?
WINE or use oss alternatives.
Being updated by group policies.
What kind of server? If you are about to say that the operating system comes from Microsoft, read the above replies.
Note: all of the above problems can be compensated for with a decent amount of know-how, but the better solution is to switch all necessary operating systems over to Linux. Especially the server (thank god for descriptive diagnostics)
Who really cares how fast a machine boots?
Are you excluding servers, then? I can give some really good reasons there.
It's really about applications-- and for companies about fitting in with a corporate network.
There are tons of applications out there for Linux, and as Linux gains market share, the quantity will only increase. As far as fitting in with a corporate network - ? When was the last time you got hired into a company that asked you to bring your own computer because they are not providing one?
Seriously, do you think that Windows computers have major issues on running on a corporate Linux network? No. Why should Linux have issues running on a Microsoft network? Oh, that's right - please see above.
Speed is rarely an issue for what most people use their computers for.
Do you actually talk to users? They have a floating perception of slow.
Oh, please. First, you give me some money and I'll do just that since, for some reason, it has to be my independent study. Jerk.
I'm remembering this from a study that I read that also said the majority of conmen do things through social engineering, not mass marketing. And before you ask: No, I am not going to substantiate it by looking it up after these 6 or so years, because I don't feel you are worth looking it up for.
As much as I hate misspellings, I am not so naive as to think that misspelling words has anything to do with intelligence. I had a very intelligent professor who could spell just fine if he took a moment to check, but his e-mails, books, lecture notes, etc. were rife with misspellings and improper punctuation. It wasn't worth his time and, with the exception of his books, none of them were checked for such. And yes, he ignored spell-check functions.
There are many ways of getting around this type of thing, read up on the various IEEE specs that assist in frequency saturation control. This will be an issue eventually. In general, however, it will not be, as long as the devices are programmed to use channels responsibly.
I'm not surprised, personally. If a conman gets caught and prosecuted for normal schemes like that, there is some consequence, but if the conman tries to impersonate a legal representative of a company like Atari, you start getting into defamation (your "representation" of Atari), extortion and practicing law without a license. I'm sure there are more things to pin on this person, too. Most conmen aren't quite *that* stupid.
I beat it fairly easily with a pure Melee character and a pure rogue (that was sickeningly hard compared to the other) I found the caster to be the most variable of the lot - I had big issues sometimes and others it was extremely easy.
Your example makes it sound like you think that every character should *have* to be all three to viable. That's just absurd. The game was designed as it should be - all of the above are viable options and you don't have to go all routes to be able to subdue the big bad enemy. A pure melee class *should* be viable in the game, as should a pure mage or rogue.

Tell that to Cornwallis.

The humans are dead, already.

If you hadn't noticed, their economy is doing better than ours.
Alexander Tytler, is that you?
Well, to be honest, that was with a democratic majority in the legislative side of things.

I think the thank god was in reference to the no recount. I could be wrong, but that is what my 'Thank God' reaction was aimed at.
Eh, I would prefer that filibustering be disallowed, no matter who is in charge.
