"I finally found out wtf they did with alt-tab..."
Damn. That's been one of the most irritating and mystifying UI features I've seen in a while. Now my subconscious does not have to gurgle "WTF" every time I use alt+tab. Thanks!
Those of us who cut our teeth on HP test equipment, early HP/UX workstations and servers, HP LaserJet printers, and HP calculators still mourn the death of Bill and Dave's dream.
Amen to that, brothers and sisters. Every time I pass an HP laptop computer in a store, I wince and try not to make eye contact.
The exclusion of third party candidates and various other points do not need to be brought up in every post do they?
True. It is also worth explaining that the Democracy Now extended-town-meeting had to be scheduled for the next day -- instead of being "nearly live" -- because the Green Party's Jill Stein got herself arrested while trying to enter the actual debate.
The first extended-presidential-debate was very interesting, and was "nearly live". However, it also had the disparity that Obama and Romney could not hear and rebut the other participants. It was nevertheless quite informative, and made the debate worth watching.
Sure, why not? I am the token black guy. I'm just supposed to smile and stay out of the conversation and say things like: "Damn," "Shit," and "That is whack."
It occurs to me that, if you are Red Bull, and you are going to sponsor a guy to do a giant dive from the edge of space, it is good to know that the guy will not get up there and chicken-out. Baumgartner apparently poses no such risk.
I work in the U.S. I think the problem can be attributed to short-term planning, with an emphasis on short-term monetary savings. The short-sighted math works like this (spoken from the perspective of an accountant or manager): "For the price of an older software developer, I can hire N younger software developers. Their titles are just 'Software Developer', so they are all equivalent. Yay, profit!"
This kind of thinking is rampant. I worked at a big technology company, and there were three parallel "realities" involved. First, the reality of developing the product. Second, the reality of the Legal Department, which would inhibit anything that seemed legally uncertain. Third, (you guessed it) the Finance Department, which constantly looked at different "cost centers". If any cost center looked big, they would cause a layoff there. The quality of the work and the usefulness for the product were less important than just "trimming costs". In the short-term, it looks great. Then quality went down, customers were neglected, etc.
It is nice to hear that there are places in the world in which the quality of the product is more important.
To go along with your telecom room, add a server room with good cooling. Additionally, have them put spare wiring conduits throughout the building, in which to run telecom and network cables. Make sure you have space for running more or different cables in the future.

Learn respect for the country of an Anonymous Coward? Apparently you lack one or both of the following:
1. Perspective
2. Sarcasm

Maybe she can take Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian with her?
Good catch.
If it WERE Walmart, I'd have to insert (pithy-reference-to-Soylent-Green) here.
Plus, women generally don't argue about whose...um..."pub-lications"...are bigger, or where they have been.

Meaning electrical wires attached to the testicles.
Dallas, not Houston. They just had the an event for the 25th anniversary of the movie, there.
Goodwill repairs and recycles computers.
Massive battery? Try vanadium

Mod this poster up, please.
The advantage is that I'm no longer blinded. I'll take it.
Mars Needs Xenon.
When that happens, I turn my rear-view mirror so it reflects their headlights back at them.
Ornithological sex-tapes. Duh.
Really bad movie. Hilarious, in places.
