I interviewed for one job where they promised me that they would call with the outcome in a few days. A month later I received a postcard (not letter) saying that I didn't get the job. But that wasn't the bad part, apparently my profile remained in their HR system for another 6 months, so every time someone looked at my profile, and then subsequently didn't hire me, I received another postcard. One day I got like 6 of them. "Just in case you forgot we don't think your good enough to work here..."
Wow, I'm not the only one stuck using UniData! Were there no caps lock I would have to set a brick on the shift key. Though the fact that things in quotes are case sensitive as well is so annoying. So I have to caps all commands but uncaps ever time I want to search for a name or something. I'm counting the days till we move to SQL Server.
WebOS is a misleading name. "Web Desktop" is a more appropriate term. I know that most users use the terms interchangably, but as techies we really shouldn't be encouraging them.
I know, I'm sure the kernel developers out there grimace ever time they hear the term WebOS. All your doing is replacing the top layer that displays the application. The stuff that an OS does is several orders of magnitude more complex than a web rendering engine. When you and on top of that the fact that it's a stupid idea to begin with, well, blech.
Exactly, do they really need to kick Blockbuster more while it's down? Do they just want to leagaly speed it's demise with a stupid patent? I'm going to miss the convienence of going and picking up a movie right now when it's gone.
I find samba to be one of the daemons that you really should do by hand. The syntax is easy to read and fairly straightforward, and you just get so much better control from doing it that way. Some utilities are really helpful though. I like the service one since it puts all of the initd and xinitd stuff in one well organized place. You don't have to wander all over/etc to get things set up.
There is a lot wrong with this article. The original PS controller was innovative in the fact that it was the first to use the oh so comfortable PS controller shape. The innovation in the DualShock2 was the analog buttons, not the analog stick which was the whole point of the DualShock 1. And a lot of less notable favorites were skipped.
Though not really innovative, I liked my 3DO controller a lot, it was the perfect combination of SNES and Genesis controllers. Genesis shape, and ABC buttons, the SNES's shoulder buttons and start/select pair. And some weird features like the daisy chaining and headphone jack with volume control.
Most Ford Explorer from the past few years run on "Flex Fuel", meaning Ethanol or Gas. I don't know if anyone other than Ford is shipping cars Ethanol ready but I don't think it's really a big or expensive deal to convert them anyway.
But has anyone else found that people who work at Kinkos are on average the weirdest bunch of retail employees ever. The last time I was in Kinkos there was some 40 year old man running around fixing the copiers and screaming out "Yeah!" to himself Lil' John style ever time he successfully mmanaged to fix something.
While number of meetings is important, I think that spending all day, every day in your office with no idea what anyone else is doing could be just as detrimental. I go to like 3 meetings a month so it takes me forever to find out what other people are doing.
As long as we have the Budlight Real American Heroes and Real Men of Genius ad campaigns on the radio I refuse to accept the argument that radio ads are creatively dead / not memorable. I find them far more entertaining than most TV ads.
Not according to the super smart Best Buy employees. I was listening to them explain to some poor soul how MP3 players work this weekend. Apparently all MP3 players no longer support MP3, and will seek out any copyrighted material you have that didn't come from an online music store and refuse to play it.
I don't know if they were going to then push the prepaid music download cards or what. I didn't think telling someone that their whole line of players are useless was the way to sell product.
The other gem from that trip was the guy pushing the XP full box instead of the Upgrade since upgrades don't work as well, failing to mention that you can use upgrade on a fresh install with an old windows CD. Or get an OEM copy down the street with the purchase of a $3 mouse.
When your ego gets large enough it can become self sustaining. From then on you don't really need others, your ego just feeds itself. It's a self sustaining system, kinda like in nature with those lizards in Arizona that eliminated the need for male lizards to reproduce. No not really, never mind.
I'll second that. Or at least it works 95% of the time for me. Once or twice the bouncing cingular guy at the logon screen didn't load and the login screen didn't forward me to the My Account stuff, but I re-logged in and it worked fine. Never had any issues beyond the login guy.
Couldn't they lower the price a little bit by selling a version of the box to integrate with your existing stereo. Just a receiver box with a RCA and digital output jack on the back. For a lot of applications I would image people already have the amp covered and don't need to spend the extra money on a part of the system that isn't going to get used.
Security isn't a feature, it's expected. To steal someone else's example, you wouldn't buy a toaster that says "Now blows up less often!" We don't need IE7 to fix security holes. It should offer real new features. I doubt they will, but they should come up with browsing enhancements that aren't in Firefox, beyond just copying it. Let's not forget supporting standards as well. IE is stale now, and so far it doesn't sound like IE7 will offer any improvements.
Tell MS to call me when they have something new to offer. I'll be over here with Firefox that already works better and keeps it's security holes patched.
The way I would like to see Valve approach this, would be to let people get a taste of the game with the pirated version (maybe the first 1-2 chapters) and then lock Steam down tight, wipe out a few of the required game files (like the.gcf files, nothing executable) and pull some form of identifying mark from the user. If you pirate software, and the company swipes something identifying you personally - as long as it's nothing that could be considered "theft" of data or records - morally, you deserve what you get.
Or they could just put this file up on thier website and call it a Demo....

I have no idea how, but Firefox took care of it for me when I downloaded it. After downloading it, it had the name 04imac_inside.tif.hqx.tiff and it opened fine.

Best possible way to close an argument. But the delivery did put a smile on my face first thing in the morning. Thanks.

No, it's probably just off to deliver Small Pox to another indigenous population.
It's probably just that FC5 has only been out for a day, but I'm finding that yum works much faster right now.

is that abortion has had the single largest affect on reducing crime in the US in the 1990's. Offensive, but interesting.

It was a joke...
And everyone keeps saying how Intel chips will open up Macs to a bunch of new software and better Windows emulators.
Until the Intel Mac's come out. Then I'm sure there will be some convenient way to execute this rootkit for you guys too.
