Autodesk offers all of their software free to students, for 3 years. This article is mistaken that Autodesk is offering discounted software... EDU use is free. http://www.autodesk.com/educat...
If you bothered to check what happened to the $4 billion, you would find out that they paid dividends and bought back stock. They didn't lose the money!
Really? I hate to sound like a shill but I have used Comcast when I lived in Ann Arbor and again in Northville (2 yrs ago) and the bandwidth was always plenty.
I'm using Bright House now because my current city has signed a contract with them (HTF is this legal?) and I like them less then Comcast. These days I think BrightHouse must be packet shaping torrent traffic because torrents with 200+ seeds don't saturate my pipe like they used to.
Did you even RTFA? The Govt. asked ISPs to block 17 blogs (not entire blog networks) and even those blogs were not "terrorist" blogs but rather sites inciting reprisals against India's muslim minority for the Bombay bomb blasts last week.
As for "censorship is always bad except....", except when you think its justified? Paging Dr. Hypocrite.
Damn Saab charges $450 for making a spare key. Also, if you lose both keys (so they can't use one to program the spare), they charge you more to reprogram your car with a new keycode.
I didn't realize that they are charging so much more than the rest of the companies. Quirky cars my ass!
You want to know what's wrong with the educational systems in India and China? Nothing except the fact that neither country has the infrastructure to college educate a half a billion people each (guessing the literacy rate).
Every decent college in India (and probably China) gets over two hundred applications for every spot they have available (this is because almost 50% of the seats have to be reserved for "backward classes" - the India version of affirmative action). The good schools like the IITs get a few thousand applying for each available spot. This means that there are hundreds of thousands of students who are smart enough to go to college, there just aren't enough colleges to take them all it.
The situation is the reverse in America. There are hundreds of good colleges but only 8.9% (latest US census data) of Americans go for a MS or higher degree! That means there are a lot of grad school spots open and the foreign students go for them!
The smoothest flowing traffic is the safest traffic. When a-holes are driving in the left lane below the speed limit, they create an artificial bottleneck restricting traffic flow.
All us regular drivers are asking is that you move over when someone wants to pass you, and not be a tool and try to hold traffic back just cause someone had the balls to get you to move over. No one is asking you to speed up, you can granny drive in the right lane just as well as you can in the left lane.
I agree with the point you make but with all due respect (to all apple fanboys) I don't think the iPod has quite reached the ubiquity of Walkman, Kleenex or Xerox.
THe simple reason is that they are too frigging expensive. I was in the market for a mp3 payer and I ended up buying a 20 gig Creative Xen for less than 200 bucks as opposed to 300 bucks for an iPod. If design and coolness factor were deciding factors (rather than ubiquity) we would stop saying my car and say something like my BMW (insert your personal Jap/German maker here).
Stop the bullshit now. India has the equivalent of H1s too. See here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onelife/travel/atoz/in dia_work.shtml
All your post boils down to is this: That guy can do my job for 6K a year, I don't like it!
I am not saying I blame you but atleast don't spout FUD... yeah this is FUD, you are scared for your job, uncertian about your future so you are spouting crap to plant the seeds of doubt.
How did President Bush give credibility to the UN? He went to war when the UN wanted no part of it, he didn't belive the UN inspectors and used his own after the war. People like Kay who after searching for a year, agreed with the UN insepctors!
Heck the security counsel and the veto power for countrie exist for this very reason. To stop a country from going to war unilaterally. How did violating everything the UN stands for give them credibility exactly?
I work as a CAD developer and you won't belive how much Quadro cards can outperform regular Geforce cards (don't get me strarted about ATI and thier crappy drivers for the FireGLs).
The single biggest limitation of the GEForce cards is they are optimized for 1 window. A Quadro card OTH can have open multiple windows in a 3D cad program . (e.g. Geforce 4's choke after having 3-4 moderatly complex parts open and a good Quadro 4 can handel 12-15 windows no sweat). AutoCAD is pretty light on the GFX card so a older quadro might suffice but something like Inventor or Solidworks or Catia can really benefit from these cards. If one of your engineers sees a 20% speed up in generating drawings of a complex assembly, or a 10% speed up rotating a gear assemlby, 3K is money very very well spent.
Yes because it is Microsoft's fault that ATI released faulty drivers.
And that is besides the fact drivers are never in the critical updates section. How is using windows update to get the bad drivers diffrient from getting them from ATI's site and hosing the system?
But don't let facts get in the way of your bashfest...

Attitudes like what?

How about you simply move over to the right lane when doing 60 in a 70 zone so that people don't have to tail you?
Fair enough.

Now take your logic and go away, I was having a much better day without all your fancy shamncy logic
And the editors exist to do what exactly?
This looks like another case of the editor not having RTFA.

Translate Hindu to english?
Can you translate from Christian to Hebrew? How about Muslim to Danish? Mormon to Finnish maybe?
Hindu is a religion, Hindi is a language, get your Xenophobic facts straight before you open your big mouth.
Shame on them for not adhering to published web standards. Their website it broken, not my browser, dammit!
Standards compliant like Slashdot is?
