Step 1. Learn how to DBA
Step 2. Learn how to write a service contract
Step 3. Learn how to recognize a sales opportunity.
It is rather apparent from your summary that you have not yet mastered any of the above three steps. At this point, "I" would recommend to your customer that they seek services from another firm.
When did the gnome icon on/. change? it used to resemble a penis, but it was an old version. Gnome asked/. to update to their new icon, and/. so "no, cuase that looks even more like a penis".
Now it doesnt look like a penis at all! I have mixed feelings over this.
I feel like I got rickrolled. The supposed "change" was not on the example page provided, and I was tricked into watching the first 30 seconds of that FSM-awful crap before I stopped looking and hit the back button.
We don't skip the ads because we aren't really paying attention to the show. We're multitasking. Also, since we're not really paying attention, we don't actually watch the ads. The captive audience is dead.
You mean people actually install service packs? I haven't done that since... well.. since before windows 2000. I guess not everyone can just back up their files, slipstream the latest service pack and do a clean install. OK, just kidding thats not practical at all, but that's a shame, cause everyone would benefit from a clean install of XPSP3.
The only way to semi-accurately calculate their losses is to look at their declining profits year to year, which I would consider a real value partially accountable to piracy. But... Their profits have been rising... Year over year, their blockbusters are increasingly more profitable. And its the blockbusters that get pirated the most. So by your logic (and most sane peoples logic), piracy is actually helping their sales. What's killing their profits is the movies they produce that aren't any good.
We all know that the best Slashdot comments come from anonymous cowards, right? This guy is nuts to require registration! You forgot to check the box...
doesnt that mean you can redirect all RIAA lawsuits at microsoft? they are the ones that made your OS that you used to wrong someone. (you being the hypothetical you, not the YOU that is reading this)
No, what kills an MMO is when its market collapses, and the markets collapse when they can no longer be controlled at the server by changing a few variables. When bots are introduced, the market collapses, all users get pissed, and everyone quits. That is what blizz is trying so desperately to prevent.
Now if you had a row of identical doors and swung an axe at each one with the same force etc you would expect the same result on each door. Completely sane people do that type of destructive testing ALL THE TIME to determine material strengths. Not only do they expect different results each time, but the results can often vary so widely that the material has to actually be rejected as too unstable to be tested. When the material is stable enough to be tested, HUNDREDS of destructive samples are made, and the average calculated. Then tolerances are set higher, and the tests are run AGAIN. With COMPLETELY SANE PEOPLE running the tests. GETTING DIFFERENT RESULTS!
That has been a law in every state I have lived. I'm willing to bet it's a law in every state.

Go ahead, try it. Try writing a game or a book in second person. It doesnt work, because the reader/player has to be willing to surrender in absolute domination to the storyteller. They have to be willing to accept the forced actions and feelings that the story teller shoves on them. Most people wiht any sense of freedom at all constantly rebel against it, and the element of submersion fails, suspension of disbelief never sets in, and noone is entertained. It's not used, cause it's not effective. Period.
The power source is the plug in the wall. NOBODY has made an exoskeleton with its own power yet. Battery tech sucks, and will continue to suck for the foreseeable future.
I'd rather have someone respond than be modded up. The moderation system is not in place to make you happy, it is there to serve the needs of others. Trolls post comments that attempt to solicit replies. Your sig makes it look like you would rather troll than contribute by posting something insightful or informative (or hell, mayhaps even funny).
ared code, and SCO lost the battle years ago. It seems that once Microsoft hired SCO, it became just a litigation machine and lost whatever technological brainpower it once had. There, fixed that for you.

"Yes" it was.

kdawson, as open troll /. spamer
Agreed, kdawson is indeed a troll. Perhaps /. should give us the ability to ignore his posts? (oh wait, it does)
No. Did you have a point?

It takes years of training to master that skill.
