it appeared in retrospect that the larger company simply wanted our (very loyal) user base and didn't give a rat's ass for the assimilated employees or customers, as it pretty much shelved our software and most of the original employees from our company.
Start looking for a new job. Immediately.
Our company was bought out and I ignored the rumours ( that's what my managers said to do, who was I to ignore them). It didn't ake 3 months, but 17 months and I was part of a 20% lay off. If I had looked when teh market was better I'd have a job now. As it is, I've had a few temp jobs but nothing very good.
Start looking.
1. true. 2. well if it's say a geocities site, they have an idea, I'd say. 3. Been here very long? Dupes and old news IS Slashdot. 4. Can you trust a cut n paste? 5. Read the Kuro5hin article and you'll see that, yes people sometimes do like being Slashdotted.
So I found Sharp Develop and it seems that I can develop.NET apps with the.NET runtime, I just can't see documentation. Not ideal but I guess I'll take it.
The roadblock continues to be Win98. I have downloaded the.NET framework and I tried to install it. I was presented with a nice little box that said "Win98 won't work, please buy Win 2000".
Well, am I wrong or am I right? I'd say I'm right, because I wanna use Visual Studio.NET but to do that I have to upgrade my OS.
Mono is vapourware to me ( is there a version of mon o for Win98?). As soon as it gets a foothold MS will just change some things and Mono will break. I'd rather not deal with that.
So if you say have Windows 98 and you want to start to develop for.NET, you won't have to upgrade to Windows 2000?
Unfortunately you do, and last I saw, Windows 2000 is not free.

18% for 10k and above? My god the poor will get shafted in this deal.
Ya think so?

I'd wager you'd be in the minority.
How? 2600 is based inthe US. This was a Norway court that ruled.
I guess it goes to this: what are the odds that you are allergic to A, B AND get bit by a snake?
oh well. If you don't wanna pay don't be on the web. I'm sick of hearing about the poor webmaster paying out of his pocket.
people can be alergic to chickens, as well, so that should/would rule them out.
don't you mean Fry's?
and if this was a good idea to do....I am pretty sure I could get the parts for cheaper than 19.95 plus shipping and taxes.
1. true.

Oh come on. Do you really think that the DoJ made MS change ANY of it's code? At most they made them change a few dodgy business contracts.
except when it comes to this bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186064
well technically, the ad was right.
blah.... I've worked in such a plant. It's noisy and way too fast paced to be of much interest.
Also, Yuengling is 10 times better than Bud.

Maybe high wages, lots o benefits and other costly things?
Whoa, wait a second. You can get a job? How?
EchoStar is turned down, when it wants to give me and millions of other people local channels.
I don't want cable, I want DISH.
Hold on, I have to put on my tin-foil hat.
If they are so bad, how do they get elected? Really, how?
The thing that ruined this country was the New Deal. It created the whole welfare state. Now we have to live with it.
Awwwww.
Can no one have a joke, these days with out it being all the evil mean republicans fault?
