It's really sad when driving to work, the far right lane is the fastest and the left lane is slower.. People these days have no concept that the passing lane is for passing, not for setting cruise control at the speed limit and to hell with anyone who wants past!
It's not that there weren't alternatives to intel, it was that they were doing some shady things to make vendors less likely to use via/amd. A lot of times it's not so much that a company has a monopoly as it is if they were using anti competitive practices to become/maintain such.
there's also several episodes scattered throughout that are missing. it's a damned shame really. that's one of the few shows i bought all the seasons of as they came out. somehow, now every season is missing. i had a craving to watch andy dick be a spaz in front of james caan the other day, but alas, that episode is one of the missing (celebrity)
yeah, my spelling sucks, but i've been drinking for the last 13 hours.. can you do better?
there's actually a legal reason you can't use your old phone on their networks.. all newer phones have to be trackable by the police incase you call 911 and don't know where you are. Otherwise i'm sure they'd be happy to let you do it. that way you're paying the higher monthly cost that's there to subsidize newer phones, but you're not using a new phone. that's win-win for them.
nobody aside from the boss and secretary need email?
the interesting thing that I've consistently found is that the boss, who need to "know what's going on always", tends to be quite content not having any sort of domain access as long as they have email and porn access. It's quite sad that that's been the case at the last few jobs. they are all about monitoring all the employees, but somehow never notice that i never gave them access to anything useful. big supprise that the last 2 places went out of business.. go leadership!
for a small business, it's a lot harder for them to have a central proxy server (especially one without a IT dept) it's great in theory, but only if they're willing to commit the resources. a decent firewall and group policies as far as disabling certain options will work far better than a specialized box that sits between users and the internet. especially if only a bofh will ever have access to the logs.
fair enough.. as much is i hated symantec 11, after they finally released several bug fixes and it was able to at least run without crashing a machine, it was quite good as far as disallowing removable drives on a per workstation basis, and reporting anything that was found on any machine. (it was also good about re- hijacking a homepage after a user went to a questionable site that changed the homepage to farmsex.com or what not. a simple "your homepage was highjacked" page was FAR better than the support calls i'd get at 2am about a horse doing something to a midget.)
In migrating from AVG free to AVG corp, the push never worked and we had to end up manually uninstalling on every workstation before we could push the corp version and have it actually work properly.. if we tried to push the newer version over the free version, it just disabled any sort up updates and made things worse
yes, free should never have been installed in a corp environment, but that's how it was when i was hired.. licensing was the least of my problems by far.
last i checked, it wasn't the wireless carriers that "develop and promote" said handsets.. it's the same handset vendors that do quite well in other markets where they're not contractually obligated to only sell to company X.
Component (Red/Green/Blue/Red/White) cables will do HD just fine (although very few sets will support 1080p via component) I think you were looking for composite as the crummy SD cable type. (yellow/red/white)
I still like coax as a cable far more than HDMI/DVI. Before you say it doesn't have the bandwidth to send full digital HD signals, how do you think you get all those HD channels into your DVR? RG6 has plenty of bandwidth, and is far more durable.
yeah, *must* be a bug in slashdot where if you block scripts that they use to make things show properly, things don't quite show properly. couldn't possibly be that you're blocking said previously mentioned scripts.
I've been in the same position. if they don't respect you by now, no amount of acting nicer etc will do anything. at this point, you only really get respect once they begin to dear you.
Sorry, but I've worked at 2 different rehab facilities. VERY few people claimed that their substance abuse was due to being sexually abused. given, their families were largely nuts, but claiming that the majority of substance abusers were sexually abuse as children is complete bullshit.
That said, I've been to Japan twice now, and I've got to say, there are a lot less sick fucks there than there are here. If someone's a deviant there, they are relatively open about it. Here, everyone is secretive and joins right in on the mob behavior against something, even though they likely enjoy it when they're alone.
being in the same boat and having the same degree, i can say with all honesty that beyond the first year, art school exists solely to teach you how to bullshit. it's not a matter of what you create, it's how you sell it to the others. hell, look at the dada movement as proof.

Is that because you're in the passing lane?

You wouldn't steal a car? That's exactly what i thought of when i read the summary/looked at the picture!
Well, they're also calling something that runs off DC a Tesla. Really, it should somehow be running AC or be called an Edison.

just saying..

i knew it was going to happen!

If you're so irritated that this got posted, why not vote things down on the firehose instead of just talking shit about those that voted it up?
You're one of those people who bitches about whomever is the president, but doesn't bother to vote, aren't you?
and on Apple computers far before then..
get respect by being a bastard?
I've been in the same position. if they don't respect you by now, no amount of acting nicer etc will do anything. at this point, you only really get respect once they begin to dear you.
again, this is why i hate "people".
it's Official-er!
just for shits and giggles, here you go.

It depends on the country.. in several countries, 12 is of legal age.
it's legal to draw a picture of a 12 year old in a wood chipper, but it's not legal to actually put one in there.. just saying.

not to mention all the elbow bending after they buy said beers..

i'm pretty sure that the point of this post is that we can complain about consumer choice..
