What is the criteria for a planet to be called a planet? They keep downgrading every "planet". Can't they study the stars/planets, analyze and make a final decision? Or do they just want to make a statement every now and then to be in the evening news?
Hmm, from what I've noticed, most cell phone companies are not based in the US. Europe and Asia constitute most of them.
Anyyway, I'm really excited about this as much as I'm frustrated about the number of SDKs to pick up, Symbian, Windows Mobile, now iPhone SDK.. Google's Android and then this!
Every job involves looking at positive and negative sides, not only IT professionals.
If you look at a cop's job, the bad thing is he/she has to sometimes think like a criminal in order to catch one.
If a boxer wants, he has to look at his opponent and examine the negative points in order to capitalize on them. Same goes with other sports people and professions.
Nobody is less or more happy. Move an IT professional to a different career path and he'll be complaining about that as well (yeah, my former IT colleagues cry about their new jobs ALL THE TIME).
Maybe I cannot understand this, but why can't people just speak regular plain old English? Doesn't the adage "Caesar cannot change English" apply anymore? This is bulshytt!
Nag, nag, throw out popups forcing you to use the "latest and greatest" browser. And then finally, the WGA screen telling you what a bad browser you have (Firefox 2) and that you HAVE to get Firefox 3, or else... I better not say it!
All this snowballed because of Prince's song? Gee, even that toddler doesn't really like Prince. And no, his mother wasn't making any $$ from that song. Nothing to see, lets move on.

They took my job; they took my job; they took my job.
The American companies are to blame, it has nothing to do with America or India. If Dell, HP, GE outsource to India, don't buy their products anymore. Simple as that. But don't blame the poor people over there trying to make a living with what the CEO of Dell does.

Whats the point of using cheat codes to solving Sudoku? Doesn't anyone play a game for just the plain fun of it?
I replied to the Nigerian spammer on my Facebook Wall and won $1 million. HOORAY!!!
Maybe a good old-fashioned whopping on the asses of the spammers who sit on them would do wonders... instead of wasting valuable court time.
How about the voice? Can they duplicate the vocal chords too?
And the city of San Francisco had only *one* admin with the passwords? Maybe they should have had more to prevent the 8-day hijacking.
Haven't the Calcutta brothers created something called Scrabulous thats of a similar business model?
And how about the gazillion Indian outsourcing garage-sized companies you find in sites like rentacoder.com and scriptlance.com?

Mozilla Firefox finally going the Microsoft way.

This picture says it all - is it global warming or global cooling?

I'm surprised people were so nice that they only changed her status.
My friend wasn't so lucky - they put p0rn pics in her profile and spammed her profile to the point of her having to shut down her account in disgust.
Well, its her fault anyway. She knows what to do now - use a LiveCD. :)
Maybe he was calling the middle east prophets to invoke another hurricane on New Orleans.

Anyway, Python is a great tool, yeah.
Actually in my universities, the professors recommend textbooks written by themselves! And they usually go out of circulation in a few years.
I wish for more hard disk space, and Xubuntu instead of Gnome which eats up everything.
I prefer to buy a $200 textbook and sell it the next semester for about the same price instead of downloading the e-book and printing out the pages!
Printing an e-book (legal or illegal) is more expensive; printer cartridges are as expensive and the quality is nowhere near a real textbook.
so much for capitalism and the "free-market" hollered by your US government. :-P
Actually, McCain is using the Abacus for his daily work. Someone just introduced him to a $5 Sharp calculator.
