I have fun watching wheels spin and lights flash. I spend $20-$50 on a video game. People who think gambling is fun are, by definition, idiots when there are better options out there.
Wow, you have a very cynical view of the world. You probably assume teachers work entirely for their paycheck (seriously, its not worth $40k/year to deal with your entitled idiot child), and doctors are only there to make money (they probably enjoy the job, as well). Headhunters may actually enjoy the job, and the satisfaction of the work (maybe).
They seldom accept a CV in another format (eg. PDF) with contact info removed, however. So I don't believe that for one second.
You disbelieve his point because he has one reason (of many) why they prefer word documents?
Do you also believe that Bush was right all the time simply because he was right once? Seriously. There are many reasons for having a word document, one of which is the easy of changing contact information. Perhaps another reason (at some firms) is the ease of changing other information. But the OP is correct, and you are an idiot.
Your reputation in the market is crucial, and they just screwed yours.
I know some people have to keep their reputation clean, but honestly - the vast majority of people - are simply deluding themselves if they think they are actually this important.
You don't really expect high ranking politicians to follow the law, do you? If you're american, you've had bush for the last 8 years, and this shouldn't be surprising. If you're european, this should be par for the course, and if you live anywhere else, you're not important (according to the USA or Europe).
Heh, You're personal experience is rendered void by the vocal opposition of several others with opposing viewpoints. Isn't that the only sort of logic that fanboys understand? Or is that only the case when you're trying to make a point in your favor... not defend yourself from criticism?
Young coders are too lazy and brainwashed by MS and Sony to think anymore.
You finally have the bandwidth and cpu and gpu to do something and your stuck dreaming at 640p.
Hack the cards with Linux and dream big. Take computing back from the DRM, locked down junk MS and Sony code down to.
You have the OS, now get some graphics freedom too.
I hope you don't contribute to the trunk, your code is 2x as long as it should be, and only half as effective!
Not only is it "better support", but it now has "Awesome Street Cred" and "Totally amazing user experience", thanks to a magical technology licensed from ________ (Pick your favorite scape-goat) famous for lock-in and proprietary design!
You seriously need to work on your trolling skills. Actually figuring out someone's nationality before xenophobic trolling helps.
Does it matter which side of the ocean? I established that your premise was wrong, and now you're picking on my other arguments... to prove that you're right? Sorry juan, it doesn't work that way.
I suppose you might be right. *MIGHT* because the product has not yet been created, as you refuse to acknowledge (although the article clearly states this fact).

You mean, the surveys where customers respond about their subjective opinions? Yeah, totally factual, my mistake.
no one is preventing you from posting comments that make you look childish.
Are you new here? Hint:Childish (but insightful) comments are par for the course.
No one is preventing you from buying products that make you look like a trendy man-child with rich parents.
Fixed that for ya.

Third (point one) Example:
They don't let a political argument between two companies stand in the way of buying the device they see as best making them look cool.
even going so far as to eat my own dogfood
You do realize this implies you work for ATI/AMD? If not, perhaps you should do a quick check on what dogfood means.
According to your article, you're obviously price sensitive, so why would you *ever* pay full price for a product (from your competitor)?
Clearly you need to inform yourself before attempting to inform others.
There is a danger coming to both Intel nvidea and AMD/ATI within the next 20 years.
NEWS FLASH... When you're 2x as old as you are right now, the world will have changed.
Get off my lawn.

OF COURSE, who do you think they are? Apple, Sony, HP and Microsoft?
Nvidia just makes the cards. It isn't their fault if they're not installed, cooled or properly read bedtime stories after use.
AC posters suck
Fixed that for ya.
I'd have posted AC, but the refresh time is too long.
but it's in the middle of a very different architecture to an x86 CPU
OMG! It's not x86? It's USELESS!!!!!....
with a UID > 1.6m you clearly know how the mods function.
Yeah, but he's been lurking since day 1. or was it day 2. It's so hard to remember when ... HEY YOU, get of my damn lawn!
better support
Not only is it "better support", but it now has "Awesome Street Cred" and "Totally amazing user experience", thanks to a magical technology licensed from ________ (Pick your favorite scape-goat) famous for lock-in and proprietary design!
when I hear it is Proctology
... the first thing that comes into my mind is L. Ron Hubbard. But that's beside the point...
It's actually more than lipstick, but it's also anti-climactic.
are we talking about win7 or snow leopard?

That's awfully american to assume that I was trolling, simply because I pointed out you were wrong.

Seriously, it's no wonder no one likes mexicans.
The model is already fixed, Lenovo S10e. That's a bog-standard netbook with bog-standard components.
Yeah, last I checked, RFID chips and a remote kill switch are standard on those models.
If anyone needs to leave their bubble, it is you. Now, unless you're bringing new information (not rhetoric) to the table, gtfo.
Yes, and the title of the SUMMARY? "AU Government To Build "Unhackable" Netbooks ".
To Build. Future.
Yes, they *have* rolled out *some* computers. But the ones that have been deployed are not the same ones we're discussing.
Honestly. I hate arguing with teenage mexicans. When you've learned to read english properly, maybe we can discuss something that you've read.
