No, they mean Sharron Reid. It's so if you're not paying total attention you see Sharron and think it's Sharron Angle. This way the vote will be for neither Harry Reid or Sharron Angle (where it obviously would mean more). Just kidding.....
The more interesting question, what if you don't want to vote for anyone (which should be the default)? Is there no option for that? Don't have time to read thru this whole thread.
Larry Ellison was only recently eclipsed by Steve Jobs as the bigger d'bag. No surprise here. I wish at some point it would bite these d'bags in the a**, Unfortunately that never seems to happen.
Poor people don't pay taxes, hard working middle class people pay taxes and that includes people making 500K or less as a couple not that 250K f'in joke number. Live in Manhattan in a decent apartment at 5K a month with 2 kids, pay the ridiculous NY state and city taxes and full size supermarket prices for sample size packaging, etc. Add in all the other stuff like saving up to pay for college and retirement and 500K after taxes doesn't make you rich. The top 10% of earners paid 70% of the taxes in 2008. The top 25%, paid 86%.
This corporate tax garbage really pisses me off because if they aren't paying it, we are.
Ever since that rootkit crap Sony pulled some years ago I will not buy any Sony products. Here's yet another example of essentially illegal activity on their part. We have options to buy non-Sony products for most of the electronics and optical computer drives we use so join the boycott.
So you are trying to say a company made up of a sole developer cannot make good software? The capital requirement in those scenarios is likely zero as the person that goes this route is likely developing at home, off hours from his "real" job, already has a computer and perhaps the only additional expense is keeping the lights and computer on longer. I also know of a few 2 and 3 person companies that perform in exactly the same manner. So your claim of it being a "grossly misleading claim" is exactly that.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe his former "partners" recently bailed on ASSange and one of the reasons cited was poor vetting. Again not sure about this and don't have time to look it up at the moment.

That's correct. Google is your friend. There's numerous ways to do it. VMware, Virtualbox as mentioned, maybe some others.
You're correct. There's a lot wrong with that analogy. Floppies were the cheapest way to deliver relatively small software packages on and backup small amounts of data. You could buy a floppy drive for $10 when CD drives were probably $100 and the media was relatively cheap. It's only when CD readers and later recordable media and burners got cheap enough that floppies went the way of the dodo bird. Apple had zero influence on that.
There are those that will accept Apple decisions regardless they are good or bad just like some will do the same with MS stuff. Funny how Apple iOS is based on what is one of the oldest operating systems out there so the future is the past.
I turned it off as soon as I possibly could. I use Google A LOT. I don't need it messing with what I think is the query I feel will get me the best results. I ESPECIALLY would not want it doing this on my mobile phone chewing up my data allowance.
What's even more disturbing is that this along with anti-piracy of music and movies is being touted by many as a significant part of the cure to the poor US economy. We also have similar attempts by the broadband providers claiming net neutrality will cost jobs. Verizon has already stopped their Fios rollout in the US regardless of the net neutrality outcome. It's a total joke how every industry that wants some government concession or intervention uses "loss of jobs" as their primary tactic.
When these expert traders f up they still get their money. It might take months or years for their bad choices to surface but in the meantime they get their commissions and bonuses. Do you think they pay that money back???? How about all these CEOs making millions yet their company has lost 100s of millions. Is that accountability?
If the "software screws up" it's poor specs/coding/testing and that goes all the way to the users. Over 30 years in software development and I can assure you users never test at the level they should although they certainly said they tested. I can also tell you specs are frequently garbage too. I sat next to a trader one day after a software release and watched him hit like 10-12 keys to do something. I asked what he was doing and how often he does it. When I got the answer I was floored. I immediately said I could change the programming to let you do that in 2 or 3 and he thanked me profusely. The specs were written by the IT expert for the trading area. Obviously never sat down and watched anybody do anything yet in 15 minutes I saw a huge opportunity for improvement.
Dude, you are clueless. When these expert traders f up they still get their money. It might take months or years for their bad choices to surface but in the meantime they get their commissions and bonuses. Do you think they pay that money back????
Does and doesn't. Shouldn't be making up titles that don't fit an IT department size of 2 or 3. How about "I run the IT department". That's like me in my one-person company calling myself CEO, COO, CIO, Chairman, etc. It's BS. Someone asking for help should leave out the fake title crap and avoid these type of responses.
I cannot be as pissed off as the people having to directly live with this oil spill and cleanup debacle but I'm pretty po'd at the whole thing.
HOWEVER, keeping idiot "photographers" 65 feet away from operating equipment in my opinion isn't even far enough. You're in the water, you're subject to tides, waves, current, winds, etc and so is the equipment they're trying to "photograph". Equipment operators have a bad enough job and now they have to deal with "paparazzi"? You cannot hit the breaks in the water. 65 feet is pretty much nothing. Should be at least 200.
Perhaps you should be more annoyed at the people that approved the drilling of this well.
"The Interior Department exempted BP's calamitous Gulf of Mexico drilling operation from a detailed environmental impact analysis last year, according to government documents, after three reviews of the area concluded that a massive oil spill was unlikely.
The decision by the department's Minerals Management Service (MMS) to give BP's lease at Deepwater Horizon a "categorical exclusion" from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on April 6, 2009 -- and BP's lobbying efforts just 11 days before the explosion to expand those exemptions -- show that neither federal regulators nor the company anticipated an accident of the scale of the one unfolding in the gulf. "
Note the date, that would be the Obama administration. Funny how this barely appeared in most media outlets.

The answer should be getting rid of the 10 mpg car and getting the 33 mpg or 50 mpg one. Why create the illusion that getting the 20 mpg car is a good choice? You know at least one person will actually think it's a better choice to go out and buy the 20 mpg car.
If they're making up numbers they should have said 3 trillion. Then the government will hire thousands to go out and make sure that gets collected because then they can tax the profits. This along with the 41.5 billion from the portable game industry added to the whatever from the non-portable game industry and let's add the whopper number in from the movies and well sh*t we can all just retire.

1) How is Oracle suing Java? Java is a language created by Sun which Oracle now owns.
5) Sun was bought by Oracle.

Ask Steve Jobs, they're pretending that's a real solution.
Does and doesn't. Shouldn't be making up titles that don't fit an IT department size of 2 or 3. How about "I run the IT department".

"I am the Director of IT for a small/medium sized marketing company, where I personally write the code that runs our applications"
Translation - I'm a one man IT department
Bud, start with the truth. A "Director of IT" does not write code. You could have equally said you were CIO, just as truthful.
I cannot be as pissed off as the people having to directly live with this oil spill and cleanup debacle but I'm pretty po'd at the whole thing.
HOWEVER, keeping idiot "photographers" 65 feet away from operating equipment in my opinion isn't even far enough.

So reality TV has a sibling. If you're too stupid to put batteries in correctly you probably shouldn't be breathing.
I wonder what this "solution" cost? If I were a shareholder I would be pretty PO'd about this waste of money.
