We once hired a field tech who wasn't very good at anything. He would go to the client's office, look at their PC, declare nothing could be done and then go outside and shoot the shit and have a smoke with the client and leave without fixing anything. The clients fucking loved that guy.
We hired another guy. Aspergers, neck-beard, super-tech type. This guy could fix any problem he was sent to deal with. Clients phoned up and said although he fixed their problem, they'd prefer that we send the first guy instead because they felt he was a better technician.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that the site still exists.
My question is who is getting the money for these PDFs. If the original authors are getting a percentage, great. If it's just going into Hasbro's general revenue, screw them. It's just a last ditch attempt to monetize assets that otherwise have little value to the company, many of which they didn't even produce.
You should check out one of the programmable universal remotes like the Logitech Harmony line. You can build a sort of "macro" set that rolls of that input switching shit into a single button press. You only have to set it up once and you're good to go.
I also messed around with Servio, Plex and some other open source DLNA servers. I found that the best DLNA option was Wild Media Server which will run fine in Wine on your Ubuntu box. That shit just worked with my Sony Bravia without a lot of hassle and the license for WMS is only 15 bucks.
I've noticed this seems to be a chronic problem with the Gen-Y guys we hire. If they can't lean back in their chair and savagely click at shit with their mouse to get things working, they say it's "impossible" or "too hard". What ever happened to being able to delve into a problem to figure out the underlying cause? I'm sure they're capable of it, but I don't know if they just haven't been taught how to do this, or it's just simply that they're too fucking lazy.
You're thinking of non-enterprise applications where having a couple host servers is all you need. In this case, any shit-tier cheap VM solution will do. vSphere's clustering architecture provides management and business continuity that can scale to hundreds or even thousands of workloads.
I live in the Yukon. Only one of our communities, Old Crow, is on a satellite uplink. Everywhere else in the territory is linked by either fiber or a microwave shot. However, in the NWT and Nunavut they have many remote communities like Old Crow that don't even have road access, and therefore satellite is the only realistic option.
These stereotypes are perpetuated by atrocious shit like "Big Bang Theory". When my wife tells people that I work in IT they sometimes say "Oh he must like "Big Bang Theory"." My wife replies "No, he fucking hates that show." She's right, I do.
Now I realize that some of you on here feel that "BBT" is a great show and you think "Hey, this show is about guys like me." Wrong. This show is successful because it makes fun OF guys like you. It's like making a show about negroes and having the characters obsess about eating fried chicken, malt liquor and maintaining their weave. Is that funny? No? Well its the same shit.
Not counting console bundled games like #1 Wii Sports (41.65m) #2 SMB (40.24m),and #4 Tetris ( bundled with original Gameboy, 30.26m), #5 Duck Hunt (included in the NES bundle that came with the orange gun, 28.31m), you might be surprised to find out that Pokemon games are the top contenders with the #3 overall spot held by Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue (31.38m) and #6 Pokémon Gold and Silver (23.11m).
Some other titles are #7 Nintendogs (21.60m), #8 Super Mario World (bundled with the SNES, 20.61m) and #9 Wii Play (20.30m).
Geist mentioned that over a 5 year period the branch of the Copyright Board responsible for collecting and redistributing the levy funds, collected $120 million and yet barely a quarter of that amount was redistributed to artists. When flash media and devices like iPods aren't subject to this levy, it hardly seems fair to continue to tax optical media.

It's true.

Depends if they make their saving throw or not.
The Giger theme was the reason I installed E in the late 90s. It's too bad the theme was never updated for the later versions of Enlightenment.
I only read while I'm taking a shit, but I can still get around 20 books a year in.
Not for scrypt based coins like litecoin. GPUs are still the best option.
You might want to try a good set of noise cancelling headphones. When you're 60 your ears will thank you.

If the idea involves Chicken n' Beer, then yes.

There's a Linux 64-bit version, why has there never been a 64-bit release for Windows?

For anyone wondering, the "best-selling video game of all time" is Wii Sports.
Probably because, other than the listing of the CVS tree, this claim has been completely unsubstantiated to date.
However, their influence has started to wane with the introduction of the Internet, text messaging and instant messaging software.

I shaved mine off when it started turning gray. Didn't help in getting the bitches.
