Are they contractors? If they don't get benefits and have to pay their own taxes, etc. then it's not quite that ridiculous.
If they're benefits-getting employees, wow. I've been doing IT for 7 years at a state university in the Midwest and I get $23.50/hour, started at ~$17/hr. Our cost-of-living in this area is pretty low; for example, a 1900 square-foot house with 1/4 acre lot might go for $158K new.
Outlook is a godawful email client unless you've got it talking to an Exchange server. It is just bearable with a POP server but deliberately[1] bad for IMAP.

Sounds a lot like what Terry Goodkind ended up doing a few books into his over-long series: he started heavily smoking the Objectivist crack, having his characters make Rand-esque political screeds. One of the later ones had a section that was basically his attempt at The Speech[1] in Atlas Shrugged, something like 50-60 pages straight (I shit you not) of Richard blathering about politics.
That book was thrown against the wall and I've never touched Goodkind's stuff again.
[1] For a reason which now escapes me, I read both AS and even the Speech when I was 18.
Skip the fifth movie; in fact, deny that it even existed. Probably should skip the first one as well, and the final TNG movie, and the one before that, but the rest are pretty good. Especially see II, III[1], IV, VI, First Contact, and the '09 reboot.
I'm a B5 partisan myself, though it's certainly had its weak moments as well. Kicking and punching to control a ship's weapons, for instance.

You seem to think that I want to pay nothing, like the rest of them.
I don't know how you got/that/ out of what I said. I might be willing to pay $5 for good video drivers myself, but I'll let someone else test and make sure it's worth the money first.
As to mice, who needs a mouse driver? Just use the default HID driver and find a program that will let you map the extra buttons to events.
First off, Nvidia are buttheads. They are. But they also have a right to make money.
Has anyone ever said they don't?
But this brings up the other side of the dirty coin, as it were. That the Linux (in particular) community seems to have a major issue with paying for anything.
That'd be why pretty much every Humble Indie Bundle has gotten much higher per-capita payments from Linux users, then?
All we're asking for is a simple yes or no: did Chuck Schumer fuck a dog to death in 1990? We're just/asking questions/. Why can't the senator put this to rest?
That's probably because the entire Republican Party has been trying to outdo itself for years in saying stupid things to attract fringe votes and big donors, and it is organized and disciplined about staying on message.
"Organized" and "disciplined" are/not/ things that one can say about their opposition, so it's really just Chuck Schumer being an ignorant ass.
Now it's the state workers' fault that tuition is going up? Good gravy. Are you one of those people whose faith says that government is always the problem, or was that just an especially poorly-worded argument?
To a first approximation, heat = energy consumption. You have to dissipate all that energy you use as heat, after all, and that's why lower wattage parts always run cooler, all other things being equal.
Of course they did. It's just that the crap stuff isn't here anymore, so the survivors were the better ones.
Same deal with houses, when some idiot says that they make worse houses now, they're forgetting about all the crap houses from back then that don't exist anymore.
Opera was better. I was a poor college student and bought an Opera 3.x license for ~$30 in '98 because it was that much better (and faster!) than NS4 and IE4.

In exchange, we get better job security. The extra money would be *great*, but I'm pretty happy having a job.

I know this post is gonna get voted down
KARMA WHORE SPOTTED.
Also, please use paragraphs as a courtesy to your readers. I can't make myself read that constipated mess.

Get your head out of your ass.
The "features", IIRC, amount to valuing correct image rendering above anything else. This makes sense for things like AutoCAD and Solidworks.
The Pentagon and Capitol are big buildings with well-known locations, you know.
I'll assume Poe's Law here and acknowledge the same is true of electrical substations and the like.

You've seriously never argued with people who genuinely think the government is always at fault, forever and amen?
You'd better spend a little more time on the Internet before you dismiss me for misunderstanding you when you accidentally echo the nutty people.
Holy goalpost-moving Batman!

Explain to me why we should compare ourselves to third-world shitholes instead of other first-world secular democracies.
Other than the fact that conservatives would rather us be a shithole because their taxes would be lower.
Also rednecks.

A lot of what you have to say applies to Android, particularly the poor updates, though the ecosystem is almost as strong as iOS's these days.

Hence the college-educated AGW and evolution denialists.
...and you're racist because you imply that blacks are all on the dole.
At least post with your account so you can get modded down properly.
