Or the "close a tab (or the browser with more than one tab) lets grab 100% cpu for 10-15 seconds" bug? Now I know that's not a long time but why does it do it at all? And a better question is it something I can switch off?
If there was a way to not beam their stuff to people who weren't paying that cost the same as the current technology I'm sure they'd use it. Saying that media companies should give their work away for nothing due to the technological limitations of their broadcast equipment sounds pretty illogical to me.
You're the dumbass here to say that only people who know how to make a Unix server work are intelligent. Maybe you should leave your bedroom occasionally. I'm ver, very far from a Windows defender but it's totally obvious to anyone with any braincells not burned out by blinkered zealotry to see why people do use it.
the internet and improved communication technology at the end of the 20th century, so had no influence on the main part of it. Try again and this time read the whole of the history of the 20th century. You have a weird idea of unions if you think you have to answer to them, and being a union member would have no bearing whatsoever on how many jobs I would be able to take, not that I would want to take MULTIPLE jobs when one job should pay enough in the first place. I do have a life, family and friends, I've got no interest in working 18 hours a day 7 days a week.

Unionization, regulation and etc are not to our advantage, but to our disadvantage.
A quick look at the history of the 20th century as compared to the the rest of human history would instantaneously prove you wrong. The 20th century saw the most regulation and unionisation in human history. It also saw the greatest period of social and technological growth the human race has ever seen.
Too high taxes in u.s. ? Move to some other country where you are allowed to live in, just start working there. Its that simple.
That may be possible for a multi-lingual 25 year old with no family or friends. How about the other 99% of the population? I've lived in 3 other countries apart from the UK and I'm telling you right now, it's not "simple" at all, and I didn't have a wife and children to relocate as well.
Same reason as people with intelligence use Windows, it's more convenient than learning the innards of your OS to do simple tasks.

Stop reading the fucking Daily Mail and try thinking for yourself, an ASBO is a shitload more than "a polite telling off" you fuckwitted right wing dumbass.
I changed the graphics settings in WoW to turn off all the pretty stuff in an attempt to go quicker, what I got was a few BSODs instead. Now maybe it's Blizzard's fault or maybe it's ATIs fault or maybe it's about time the world's biggest software company made it possible to avoid crashing the damn thing on anything but a hardware failure.
Hopefully they'll also teach them about law as well so that learn, as you need to, that what a court calls a monopoly is not the same as what an economist calls it, since economists are concerned primarily with protecting large corporations from punishments and courts are concerned with applying the law.
You're right, perhaps contradictions was too strong a word, I was objecting to that quote in the grandparent poster's sig seeming to show that Muslims are told not to associate with people of other faiths when it's a lot more complex than that.
A bit further down in the same chapter you get this: you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and monks among them and because they do not behave proudly. I hate holy books, so many contradictions.
The training isn't that hard to get, but could you please point me to the educational establishment that can give 2-3 years experience, not just in the language but the platform, databases, various servers that run on the platform etc etc. I was in IT in mainframes; a lot of that has gone to India and so 2 years ago I lost my job. I tried and tried to get out before then, I taught myself Java and Python, I expressed interest in learning new stuff, but without experience it's tough shit and not one of the companies I worked for was prepared to let me retrain into something new. I did a C++ course at a local college and passed with full marks, showing that I can learn new stuff easily enough, but I'm now faced with either: building a new career in something non-IT, spending a lot of time contributing to OSS projects (if I can) in the hope that someone will consider this as good as actual industry experience, or going to university for 3 years to do a degree just so I can get back into pretty much the same job as I was doing before. Why corps don't pay for training anymore like they used to is a mystery to me, it's not like I couldn't do programming in another language on another platform but after trying for six months to get in somewhere as a junior programmer, it looks like 3 years of education about IT is worth more than 15 years of actually doing the job.
Being born in the US, or Europe or anywhere else that has a decent standard of living is a distinct disadvantage in the jobs market nowadays. I don't begrudge people a better life, but why should that mean that I have a worse one? Damn I hate economists, the sooner their jobs start heading east the better.
When she talks about having technology in the classroom, she's not talking about programming... even remotely. She's talking about Word and PowerPoint and maybe even a web page the students had to find.
Which are required skills for a 21st century office worker, so teaching them should really take priority over more esoteric use of the hardware. As for mocking teachers for calling education a science, isn't that just a bit rich coming from an IT person. I've lost count of the number of computer engineers and software consultants I've met, all of them mere programmers just like I was.
Given that basic knowledge of how to use a computer is required by virtually every office job, I'd say Comp. Lit. is quite an important piece of education nowadays. Not to say that programming shouldn't be taught, but let's be realistic here, how many people in your school are going to be programmmers compared to how many will be working in an office doing something other than programming?

Dunno about the rest but I find VBA scripting incredibly useful, it saves me so much time and boredom.

Netscape and Palm also used to be the biggest players in their respective markets too.

Except that while people are waiting for the invisible hand of the market to get a move on they still have bills to pay.
