The percentage of Chrome users who will adjust the settings is much higher than the percentage of non-Chrome users. Most of the people who accept the defaults won't bother to install an alternative browser.
You need to balance your choices to achieve moderation. Eat the fatty, sugary stuff, but then take the cocaine to burn off the calories. Soon you'll reach your ideal weight.
If you told us the keyword instead of being cutsie with it, we could judge your statements on their merits. I suspect you're not talking about "oatmeal".
Please quit confusing the future of ebook readers and ebook publishing. Readers are unimportant. Single-function readers are doomed, once multi-function devices incorporate their functionality. Does anyone still own a dedicated wordprocessor?
Once ebooks actually have enough market share to matter, there will be convergence around a format that everyone will use on their devices. That side, the publishing side, is what's interesting.
I had a Lenovo ThinkPad tablet with Vista at my last job and I loved it. The tablet interface was perfect for playing Microsoft's Sudoko app while I was waiting for them to dump me.
On first glance, Amazon appears to be on the side of the consumer, since they want to be able to sell eBooks to you for less than they pay the publisher. Cheaper books – yay! But it’s not that simple.
Publishers want the right to set prices so they can make more off initial sales, then drop the price later to bring in more buyers. Think about hardcovers and paperbacks. Hardcovers come out first and cost more. That higher price helps recoup the costs of publishing a well-crafted book (self-published books are wonderful, but sometimes sloppily edited and packaged). Sure, publishers make money, sometimes a lot. Do you want to kill the industry to punish them?
Cut-rate pricing by powerful retailers (Best Buy, Wal-mart, Amazon,), NOT “piracy”, is what drove many small record stores out of business and made it much harder for new and mid-level acts to sell their music. When Brittany Spears is all that’s left, no wonder music sales are down. Hopefully we can avoid this as book publishing goes digital.
Between high unemployment and computerized resume distribution methods, HR gets so many resumes that they have to use something to filter them.Try finding a support/admin job without one today. 20 years of experience doesn't matter if you don't have a A+/MCSE/etc..
I was in this situation, unfortunately in the current job market, so my options were few. My company has a process designed to shame you into leaving before they terminate you, but it wasn't that hard to sit there and collect a check for the 6 months it took them to work through the process. I made more to show up at the old job until they let me go than I would have at a new job (in what turned out to be the unlikely event that I could find one).
Once I stopped being angry, it was mildly amusing to watch them pretend they were trying to rehabilitate me instead of doing what they could to force me out.
The industry types wanted the rock star lifestyle without, y'know, the need to actually learn music or have any artistic talent. Unfortunately, they had all the money.
I tried this method over a year ago, with great success! Since that time, I have been able to stay at home, do nothing, and still collect a (somewhat smaller) government paycheck!
So you can virtualize your servers and get more efficiency with your existing software. You could choose to update your databases instead.
Virtualization is a good short term answer, but sooner or later, you're going to need to replace your FoxPro databases. That replacement would be easier if you kept up with new versions of software as each one was released. OTOH, no one wants to upgrade their applications every time a software vendor tweaks something. Lots of little changes, or one big change when you're forced to do it?
By adding 4 new committees, NASA is showing that they're not interested in real change. That's what any government organization does. Now, if they were eliminating some committees, that would be news.

Which RPG was it? Dungeons and Dragons? RuneQuest? Shouldn't they be looking for FPS instead, like Quake or Doom?

Maybe the Win7 users should stop running apps that are pure overhead? You know, like the XPnet client?

They both suck.
I have yet to figure out why anyone would chose Sharepoint unless "we're a Microsoft shop" guides all implementation decisions.

That makes no difference at all to most people. Whether or not the problem software is Open, they still have to wait for someone else to fix it.
That's just a reason to get a carrier with better 3G coverage.
When a lot of money is involved, change is hard. See "Health care, U.S.".

Whoa! You forgot C) Add more features to make product appear better in checklist comparisons. That trumps fixing little ol' bugs!
It's amazing how many of you will sell out your free time for a little pizza and soda.

It's not the systems. Replace the people with competent workers. Then you'll see real gains!
Glad to see you're in favor of a single-payer health plan, which will remove the need to track individual's health care plans.
I'm in favor of health care reform too. I just wish we'd do it right.

As usual there's no one simple answer.

I forgot to mention why /. should care about this CD. The full name of the band is Ad Frank and the Fast Easy Women .
Makes sense now, right?
You can still get Ad Frank's latest album on CD for free. How come a guy with a box of CDs in his basement can do this, but Ubuntu can't?
If you've had the mail sitting around for 7 years without using it, maybe, just maybe, you can delete it?
