    Thats what you get for insisting on 38DD blondes. There is a fixed brain to boob ratio and it can't be violated.

    Would you find this joke equally funny if you switched to an anatomical reference about black people? How about Jewish or Chinese? You're doing real harm by broadcasting this objectifying sort of humor in public.

    This is what you get for insisting on a joke involving 38 inch black people. Theres a fixed cock to your anus ratio and it can't be violated.

    Fortunately you are such a lame politically correct trolling faghat that your distended asshole could easily accomodate the aforementioned giant member.

    What? Yes it is. Its an especially big advantage if the proprietary+patented new tech is actually better.

    Of course some open source people might have a cry about "teh evils", but to me that sentance means "You must buy the cool new tracking from us."

    My opponent may/may not be pissed off. It wouldn't affect the ownership of the chess set. It certainly wouldn't affect the ability of the chess club to kick everyone out at closing time.

    It *might* mean they are breaking some TOS, if we hired the board for the hour - but it certainly wouldn't be a situation where they were required to compensate me for my valuable position.

    Presumably I could write down the position (would have already using game notation). Theres nothing stopping you from screenshotting your Wanglock holding the Great Wang of Wangzar either, or telling people about your epic beating of the Wangs of Wangzar when you received it.

    Blizzard is completely able to say "Hey guys, you can't play with our toys anymore, we're shutting down the realm".

    One of the benefits of Silverlight is that the view/controller is seperated enough that you can trust the designer to have SVN access and not bugger anything up :P

    They can fiddle around with Expression (or whatever its called) - making the UI look nice, and I can concentrate on exposing properties for databinding.

    In the Jun '08 quarter, Microsoft made 15 billion in revenue, 12 billion of that was net profit. So far this year they have increased their cash reserves by 4 billion.

    MS is delivering almost a 50% return on equity this year. They're at the top of their sector in most financial categories, and I don't see Sun or Redhat even coming close.

    Hell no. Thats like claiming as a Slashdot subscriber that you "own" your comments, and Slashdot is liable if they delete them.

    You pay your monthly fee to be allowed to play with their toys in their sandbox. They have some rules to make it fun, including letting the toy solider you play with "own" toy swords.

    Still their toys.

    Since the spend too much for software, they save by offering lower salaries. Look elsewhere.

    Thats a mighty stupid assumption to be making before the start of negotiations. Send your Word-97-Formatted-Only resume to the appropriate spot, and then check what they offer.

    You can always tell them to stick their offer later. Or tell them your brave new plan to save them money and switch to OO3! (and then the manager says "Sharepoint + 20 Office seats cost us less than the pay I got on the last golf^W vendor day".

    Because your mother would prefer the counter above her bedroom door to have a sensible number of initial digits (say 6). After a year or so, I'm sure she'll exceed that number, and then she can get a new counter and reduce the font.
