That is some fantastic career advice given the scale of the current recession and the massive job losses across pretty much every sector of the economy.
I made a call to Microsoft's customer support to let them know that I will continue to use Linux on every PC I own regardless of how many judges they buy off.
I hope you realize that you took Vikram in Bangalore way off script with that support call.
So go ahead and switch to Linux desktops... if SCO somehow sticks their nose in your business they can be dealt with in three words or less: "go fuck yourself."
You talk as if a 12 or 13 year old has the mental, emotional, and decision-making maturity of an adult. I'll say it again - you take any preadolescent kid, put him in a ghetto surrounded by crime, abusive parents, gangs, and zero opportunity; and let's see how he turns out. Very, very few kids that age are able to see beyond the choices that are immediately available to them. I was a complete fucktard well into my teen years, and I thank my lucky stars that my upbringing and environment only afforded me limited opportunity to head down the wrong road.
Nice Rant. Now how do you respond to the following:
Studies have shown that poor neighbourhoods are statistically "underserved" compared to wealthier neighbourhoods when it comes to food options. Meaning, there are fewer grocers or supermarkets, and those stores that do exist stock more highly processed and unhealthy foods. Kinda tough to follow food guidelines when you can't even buy the elements of a healthy diet.
How is being born into a crime-ridden neighbourhood with shitty schools and no meaningful employment a "lifestyle choice"? You plunk any family into one of America's more notorious slums and let's see how those kids turn out.
and a private collection company would either drop it or be shut down out of business by the courts
Are you even slightly aware of the shit private collection companies get away with and continue to operate? Can you find even one documented case of a collection company being shut down out of business by the courts?
Human civilization has a long and ignoble history of the "entitled class" creating artificial scarcity even where there is no scarcity of resources as such, in order to further enrich themselves and to consolidate power. Why would you expect the digital world be any different?

It's not that he's too lazy to get a login, it's that he keeps getting distracted by shiny objects and flashing lights.

Please watch this video and reconsider your habit of texting while driving.
People with attention-deficit problems are probably the ones who are most likely to attempt to multitask.
1. Stake claim to something that's widely used.
2. Appeal to death anyone who disagrees with you.
3. Slowly bleed money for a decade or so.
4. Die.

I'm still waiting for Apple to announce the Macbook Wheel
Sounds like you're well on your way to writing your own Joomla book. You already appear to have the chapter outline sorted out.
I'd like to see more replies containing the atomic radius of silicon ... I think with a little effort we can break some sort of /. record here.
You are correct, they plan to transition from silicon to unobtainium.

This is Sci-Fi, you can just make shit up as you please
And anything mysterious you need to justify, you can just attribute to Quantum Flux.
don't do this! Match on country and id.
Actually I'm pretty sure this is valid code from the upcoming release of MS Visual Basic 2011
then you get to play debt collector with them.
... and that's a whole different issue. Just because you've won a judgement against somebody in SCC doesn't mean they will ever pay you.

Sorry, you can't use the "i" prefix without Apple's permission.
However bagged goldfish really seem to miss the mark ... trust me on this one.
Drivers are only available for minix
I can design a website that displays nothing but a series of black boxes, and I will do it for $18,000 not $18,000,000.
This was all covered quite some time ago by Monty Python

Just a little at first ... it will find more as it needs it.
I think he's implying that the information available via that iphone app will be the same either way.
