  1. Re:"A shot at finding out," according to Mcrosoft on New Reality Series: Be the Next Microsoft Employee · · Score: 1

    What's even mre funny is you didn't even read your own source link which says quite clearly:

    And yes, the person who prevails does win a job at Microsoft.

    No, they get the job. Otherwise it would be called 'Be the Next Microsoft Interviewee'. The contest is>/i> the interview.

    No, they get a job. The 'chance to interview' was made up by the submitter.

    Yeah, a tiny fraction of content was 'hard' but the overall game has been ridiculously easy since the beginning. It has always been more tedious than hard.

    Yeah, it required the 'skill' of being able to read the guide someone wrote on how to get through them.

    Since when did WoW require skill?

    WoW went from being a genuinely hard game

    When was it ever a 'genuinely hard game'? I played since the first day it launched but I must have missed this mythical period. Even on the first day there were numerous people who were 75% or mote towards hitting the level cap . You could blow through half the game or more solo.

    Yeah, it's so restrictive to have the choice of what sources you want to trust for installing software.

    Funny because in many states due to budget shortfalls there have been years of salary freezes fo teachers.

    And mini-USB was not consistently used among all phones. I and my girlfriend have a few different model flip phones from just 2 years ago from T-Mobile that all have their own proprietary connector. Again, you are highly exaggerating how consistent USB use was and has been until only recently.

  14. Re:Standard connectors? LOL you wish! on Reports Say Apple Is Shrinking Its Docking Connector With iPhone 5 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    'For years' is a bit of an exaggeration. It is only very recent that most phone manufacturers started using micro-USB consistently. It's still possible, though, to find phones not using micro-USB that aren't from Apple.

  15. Re:Why not do both? on Ask Slashdot: Value of Website Design Tools vs. Hand Coding? · · Score: 1

    Because it doesn't save time. WYSIWYG is good for knocking up a prototype design but it usually makes such heinous code that it isn't worth it to fix.

    LOL. Trying to repair your karma after spouting just the opposite sentiment yesterday in the other article's discussion? Today the government is good at kickstarting things yet yesterday you were telling us how terrible the government was. I see you also dropped your nonsense about the airlines since it was pointed out how they've been bailed out and are heavily subsidized.

    We are talking about the same airline industry that got $5 billion in government bailouts and $10 billion in loan guarantees in 2001? And we are also going to ignore all the chapter 11 bankruptcy filings from airliners, correct?
