I think you mean equally priced portable computers are fucking slow. There are some laptops out there that are just above the fucking slow benchmark category. The only problem is they are fucking expensive instead.
If all things were equal or a relative tradeoff who wouldn't want a portable battery powered light desktop?
My problem is they are not equal for my needs (but I'm a computer minority which sucks for me in the long term future price wise) I need large multi-screens, as much processing power as I can afford, as much data retention and array of addins.
Soon laptops will be replaced by phones with docking stations.
Imagine a world where your phone acts as the processor, data storage, and videocard. You could then just plug it into a laptop-like portable dockingstation for heavy use typing / interface / port expansion.
Then we will have pointless news about how the laptop industry is quickly dying away against the IDOCK / IPUTER configuration.
If you think about it. If Mohammed actually ever came to meet his people. They'd execute the guy for defaming himself. I mean seriously who the hell could live up to the hype that they've been pumping for generations. Aren't they at least a little bit embarrassed by this?
Exactly but you have to go against the people not the business. If you sue Viacom no one in the company cares because it is the legal department that handles it. But if you sue the CEO of Viacom in small claims locally that would be funny. Of course you have to have a legit claim against them.
The best way to get a problem like copyright legislation is to use it against those who created it. Follow the trail of greed, find individuals responsible and track what copyrights they violate.
Make them turn on themselves like a bunch of rabid animals and sit back and laugh as they tear themselves apart.
Not that it would work because they don't want to fight each other they just want to pick on the little defenseless suckers that get singled out.
I thought I would just throw out my stupid idea while we are dreaming.
If they are getting 150K for ANY song then can I get at least get 100K per song of my greatest hits album. (That people on Limewire might have downloaded by accident).
Not your job to make sure they are working but from my stand point it is your job to collect and report who is. I liked it when my company wanted me to start monitoring users. I used it as a talking point to get a raise. I had to get a new cert to sell them on it but at least I was able to get something extra out of the added work.
But monitoring is so easy I don't see what the big deal is. Personally I like that the line between IT and Management is blurring. Usually means more pay and easier work.
Instead of Coal or Solar Power they should create a Boat that Sucks up the water out of the ocean and thanks to BP has oil particles mixed in a high enough concentration to run on a hybrid oil/ocean water mixture forever. Thanks BP!
Close to 200 employees spanning multiple countries. And they take in only 25mil? Not just that but getting cash out of credit card companies I thought was a pain in the ass. Is it 25 mil per year or total? Because if it is total that seems like a shitty business investment. They should just stick to guns, drugs, and prostitution.
Wouldn't it be great if the schools paid teachers to write their own book about the subject they Teach? The school could then reproduce the book to any student that attends the class, charge a extra fee off the top for tuition. Great schools with good teaching materials would come up to the top. Part of the Lit department could be in charge of producing the book. Make a school like a business for itself feeding off the uneducated souls of its students.
Wouldn't it be better to have a book publisher sign a exclusive 2 year agreement to a specific university where only that school students can buy their books for 20% of the non subsidized price. Then add new features to the book like making it better than last years book by changing the title and making it a little smaller?
I would think about changing my line of work if I was assigned SCO versus the World. Is that where they came up with the title of that movie? Seriously SCO GIVE IT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.
Can't google just make a sister company clone of admob. Call it IPoo and have admob sell its info to Ipoo and Admob buy IPoo's info. Clearly IPoo only work operates on the Iphone without bias. Everyone is happy and hell just have IPoo based out of the Bahamas and google can write off its taxes as a loss for that division.
Im just curious on how it is illegal to download content that is copyrighted. I understand being prosecuted for uploading content to the internet but am I breaking the law if I watch something on youtube that was placed there illegally? Or if someone emails me a photo and they do not have the rights to it? I'm pretty certain when I take a photo of my girlfriend in the city there is something in the background that I dont have the copyright of. If I post that on facebook am I doing something illegal? Seriously I feel like no matter what I do Driving, browsing the internet, or taking photographs I feel like at any given moment I'm breaking the law and just waiting for it to be my turn to get caught doing something idiotically illegal.
If it is good enough for the fortune 500 companies to hire workers that have no degree, no experince, and little language skills than why bother going to school.
Everyone managed to make some good points but here is where I draw the line. Maybe she posts a comment saying I just love Mickey Mouse. And they fire her for that. It is the same thing, maybe she likes the color blue and posts it on facebook and the company owner is a blue hater. Is that grounds for being fired in this day and age? Should I be fired for using slashdot? Wheres the line in the sand on what is safe and what is not. Basically businesses get a free pass on what they can fire you on. That is fine for them but we should then demand early termination clauses in all of our contracts. Not that will ever happen because for every smart ethical hard working person theres 100 others willing to do the job just as good.
Seriously I understand from a business point the reason. But that doesn't make it right. Kinda along the lines of no bathroom breaks, mandatory overtime without compensation, and your everyday harassment from bosses. It always seems like when a company goes too far to try to limit negative publicity all they get is a mountain of bad press.
wow version 13.1 thats quite a lot of slackin
on
Slackware 13.1 Released

· Score: 3, Interesting
cheers to the developers. they really work their slacks off.
It's not an accident if I'm driving drunk, while blindfolded, with my head lights off, going down the wrong side of the road. I'm fairly certain its gross negligence, DUI, reckless endangerment ect. Just because I eventually hit something after failing to follow all the safe guards that were in place does not mean it was simply an accident. Yes the highest standard when they have the possibility to end all life on earth. Maybe you could invest in my next business plan. I plan to drill to the center of the earth and explode 400 nuclear weapons to generate heat for those polar bears during the harsh winters.
Well that is largely my point. They wouldnt need all of those resources if I went to school remotely. Hell I could afford to fly in to take tests if I was for example going for a business degree. I'm probably wrong but I think the bulk of students are paying the overhead for the minority of students seeking technical high end degrees.
A law degree for example would I assume take very little resources from a university. In essence I think a person could earn a law degree from their home. So all of that overhead really doesn't apply to that degree.

I think you being in their presence might be punishment enough.
Would they be willing to settle for a plea bargin of having a drawing of Mark Z executed on national television?
If you think about it. If Mohammed actually ever came to meet his people. They'd execute the guy for defaming himself. I mean seriously who the hell could live up to the hype that they've been pumping for generations. Aren't they at least a little bit embarrassed by this?

Didn't microsoft run into trouble with forcing users to have IE with antitrust lust?
I smell a lawyers wet dream orgy brewing.

Now after years of hard work Steve Jobs can declare Mission Success!
His stock is now just as overpriced as the goods he sells. Jobs well done.
