You can thank government regulations for that fleecing.
It's always amusing to watch people go into convulsions when you ask them to explain how the government that causes health care to be expensive is going to make it cheaper by taking over the entire process.
Software is bad because it's not designed by engineers, or even developers. It's designed by MBAs and marketing departments with no technical experience.
So what they're saying is that this system will require 212,000 more people to operate than the current one. I have to ask then, why they're going to develop a new system that's more inefficient than the current one? Shouldn't a new system like this actually eliminate jobs?
I'm glad to see somebody else thinking the way I do about the stock market. Given the climate of the last decade I was thinking I was the only person who saw it that way. There's no real value in stocks, only the hope that someone else will come along later who wants to buy stocks from you for more than you paid.
Why would that person want those stocks? Well clearly because they hope someone else will come along and buy it for more than they just paid you. There's no real value in stocks unless you're looking at cashing in during a takeover.
Dividends? Pffft, we're talking about tenths of a percent of the stock value. Nobody buys for dividends anymore.
Nothing says you can't make a backup of a snapshot. What exactly are proposing? Replication? Replication isn't a backup either. Failover yes. Backup no.
If viewing cartoon kiddie porn makes people want real kiddie porn, then watching fake violence makes people want to kill real people and all mock violence needs to be banned immediately. This includes sports.
No, this sounds more to me like someone trying to drum up support for an idea that they can turn into a motivational seminar. They can then sell tickets for hundreds of dollars to starry eyed managers who will sit for hours listening to cliches about "fragging the competition" and "awarding your employees DKP" for their hard work.
It's not $5,000. It's $5,000 per infringement. Every piece of letterhead that goes out the door of their office with the letters ARIA are worth $5,000 each.
How painfully naive. An overwhelming percentage of American citizens did not want to give a blank check to the same banks who foolishly set themselves up to fail, but congress did it anyway.
The roads here in front of my Minneapolis home are crumbling. There aren't enough police, and I pay the same for my trash pickup as do people who use a private garbage service so I can only assume that the city isn't spending tax money on that, it's a use fee. We are building new stadiums so wealthy sports team owners can make more money however.
If the government wouldn't waste so much money elsewhere, some of us wouldn't have such a problem with spending tax money on the basics.
Herzog Zwei is oft overlooked because it was on a console instead of a PC, but it's an amazing game even to this day. When my friends and I were in high school we would play HZ for hours on end, mocking one another as we captured a base. Ah, the memories...
I can't say for sure in these economically questionable times, but it's not impossible to succeed with college. It can't hurt, but I find that experience and motivation trump education any day.
I started in the mid 90s as an entry level developer with just a high school diploma. I bought a PC and toyed around with a bit, did some simple stuff in TurboC, and landed a job doing some very basic VB3. From there I kept reading, kept learning, and kept moving up. I was the lead developer on a couple fairly large projects, did some consulting, and right now I'm the IT Director at a small company making a comfortable six figure salary.

Where can I rent Gears of War for less than it costs to purchase?
A car that costs $20,000 to buy might cost $50 per day to rent. If Gears of War costs $60 to buy, I should be able to rent it for a $1/day.
Maybe so, but Joel's delivery was 10x what Mike did on screen.

$600 is not a couple hundred more. It's two to three times as much, depending on the final price of this thing.

And when a /.er isn't available, Netcraft statistics will suffice.
I heard it said when I was young and believe it more the older I get: A person is very hard to predict, but people are incredibly predictable.

Scissors should be illegal. There's no need for scissors to have points. Everybody in the UK can just use child safety scissors.
Forks have four points? My god man, those are more dangerous than knives! At least knives only have a single point. We must ban forks immediately!
People could start using scalpels to commit crimes. They had best be banned. I'm sure these intelligent doctors would agree.
How the hell does a SAN work as off site storage?

You're right, I'm pretty sure this is kiddie porn.

I'm the Director of IT at a small company and also a gamer, but I hardly consider any overlap between my pastime and my work.

So much for your majority rules nonsense.
