Sit a linux admin and a windows admin in a room together and tell them to walk away from their mail exchangers for 2 weeks. The linux admin will be indifferent and the windows admin will visibly twitch, snap, and kill everyone.
I have a co-worker who spent i think they said 4-5 hours total between 3 phone calls to whichever company produced their computer, i forget who it was. After complaining and yelling at them for 4 hours, they revoked the windows 8 licence and mailed them an OEM copy of windows 7 with drivers and they are quite happy now.
if you are really as sensible as you're apparently claiming, you wouldn't ever buy a new car at all... people still buy new cars, because there is social and personal value in having a new car that no amount of economics can justify.
Which is why i said 10-15 years. certainly it is more efficient to buy a used vehicle and i likely will but if you wanted to get anal, you could say advertisements effect your choice there to. There is no reason one can't buy a new vehicle and if i have oodles of money, I might just buy something nice. You also have to understand that i don't understand this "social" thing. Why would i care what people think of my car? If i think its nice then that's all i care.
none of us (of the male persuasion) "see" ourselves buying tampons, but what if your wife tells you to buy tampons of a particular brand, and you forget which brand when you get to the supermarket? are you going to come home with no tampons even though you know there is a chance they will be the wrong brand and that you'll have to return to exchange them? this is what advertisers are counting on, and i think its possibly a more common scenario than you might think. if i have to remember more than 3 things i usually get my wife to write it down, but sometimes i think i should be able to remember 3 things and forget one of them anyway.
Cellphone much? You really are trying to hard to make me thing that tampon advertisements are for me. Do you work for a tampon company in their advertisement department?
Also, if you really want to get into "brand recognition", there are several brands i see heavily advertised that i will never buy or use. Why can't I opt out of these brands advertisements? I'm already very familiar with the name.
Certainly advertising is to target average people with money but I also thing your assuming i'm lumped in with the general population. Your also missing my point, Advertisements are designed to, as you said, give brand recognition. They also drive impulse purchases. Its no doubt that my dad decided he wanted to get a 2011 camaro because of advertising and he just had gotten his raise along with the his truck being paid off at the time.
My original point was that I am not going to be buying a new car in the next 10-15 yeas. In the event that i do, its not going to be an impulse buy because i saw the car on tv the previous week. I also never ever see my self buying tampon brands that i choose plus a whole other host of items which lead us back to jmactacular's original post and how I would prefer to never see tampon and car advertisements.
and you think ill be choosing tampon brand when? If there is ever a situation where i'm buying tampons, im going to ask my girlfriend the brand first lest i have to return tampons...
Also when i decide to spend $40,000 because "i like the name" ill give you the $40,000
I didn't say that you have to. If your willing to pay money, there are plenty of places you can go. I was referring to people who don't want to pay for it or have money(Although co.cc on a business card is just as bad)
because someone has to actually host the mailserver. Not everyone knows how to do that themselves. You have the option of paying a company to do it or use a free service like hotmail/gmail/yahoo(not sure if yahoo or hotmail let you use your own domain, I don't touch them)
Setup a VPS with a bunch of software and forgot about it for a few months so it never got updated. Logged on and one of the daemon users had a bunch of stuff running on it(Chinese spam going to Chinese boxes, so no real damage occurred) It wasn't rooted or anything but i wiped the machine anyways.
The US is actively dismantling nuclear weapons. US has moved from huge stockpiles of tends of thousands to thousands now. They also have moved from multiple warheads on a launch vehicle to a single warhead. Just because the US still has nukes doesn't mean they aren't working toward disarmament. The only issue not stopping the US from dismantling all at once is the fact that other countries like Russia still has a shitton of nukes. Might I also note both sides still have teams on full alert, like back in the cold war days, ready to press a button and fire a couple thousands nukes within 1 minute and their entire arsenal in 15 minutes.
As someone who has dealt with both, I can say the reason postgresql isn't as popular is because its more involved in its setup. Mysql is simpler for new people. You install it, download phpmyadmin, login as root and then start creating databases and stuff. postgresql isn't as simple. Creating a new database is a bit more involved and when i first was confronted with it, I wondered why it was so complex.
I don't even know how to take advantage of more complex stuff in postgresql either.
This is coming from someone who is mildly experinced with mysql and set up a postgresql server not knowing anything.
Its like taking a Ubuntu person and sticking them on slackware/gentoo or something. Although its similar its still radically different.

Hostgator hosts mosts of its servers with bluehost now. ...
Probably busy today looking at the forums.
Isn't it already past that point then?
Reminds me of what the trainers at work said.

Oh the stability of windows products.
So the companies have control over whats execu... damit.

because I'm a guy, i clearly want to be persuaded buy tampons or i'm 21 with almost no income, i clearly need to be persuaded to buy a $40,000 car
anytime I walk into Frys here, they (try to) hand me a paper guaranteeing their price is the same or lower than newegg or amazon.
What legal fees revolve around having a proper licence and not an OEM(The normal version was $120, OEM was $100)
Yes I meant OEM. I looked and a normal copy is only like $120 on newegg if you want to get anal over licencing terms.
Windows 7 home OME is like $100 on newegg.

I'll admit I had a box pwned.

I think you are more likely to have a swat team shot first and ask questions later.
Flagless Ship in the middle of the ocean. Solves that issue.
I haven't and won't upgrade until VLC can play blueray natively which isn't going to happen due to all the DRM shit.

I find that fairly useful, as it shows a new chart for particular times so you can see how different things have progressed.
