Really, there are other things for you to do in life. I got a hold of a WoW 10-day trial and have finished it. I was addicted for 10 days but now on to other things. I'm thinking of starting on heroin.
Actually I'm off to do some grinding in Guild Wars which has no monthly fees and is just like WoW in many respects.
In other news, cave men are complaining about their lack of access to jobs in the nuclear power industry simply because they don't have the same education their more evolved bretheren have.
Seriously, though, they are complaining about not knowing new software because it's unlike the old software. Welcome to the wonderful world of information technology. You A+ exam didn't cover everything there is, nor everything that will be. You have to continually educate yourself, or fall behind the pack. This is like complaining that new viruses are unfair because "use different structures, files and naming conventions for the data that investigators are after". I'm sorry they only had the drive to learn about one program...could they please die now so someone more motivated can take their place? They will eventually, you know.
It is soooooo hard to include an MSI with the OS these days. They just could not do this until this upcoming OS. My goodness, the milestones they have achieved!
I've used Services for Unix since 2.0 about four years ago when it came in MSI format on our MaxAttach 4100 appliance. By my calculations, 2005-4=2001 which is before WinXP and Win2k3 came out. I think they could have included it in the OS or made it one of those "extra" non-Critical downloads from Windows Update if they really wanted to. But to blame technology? Heh.
Nevermind the victims of Hurricane Katrina! Here is the real issue facing today's world: gamers are feeling bored with the raft of entertainment being plowed their way. We should take the entire budget of Homeland Security and that being spent on the Iraq War not to mention those homeless people, and divert it into making better or more funnerer games! For the sake of the gaming industry and gamers, the world must change!!!!!
Boo hoo. Y'know what, time for a reality check. If you're playing a game instead of sweating it out, you're doing better than 90% of the world. Not saying don't have fun - I'll be playing Guild Wars tonight. But just realise the truth. 'Cause this article aint it.
More important, if the guy has certs with work experience to back it up, AND the interviewers can ask decent questions verifying that knowledge and experience, then the system works. Otherwise the con artist and the idiot interviewer are all complicit in giving the job away to a BS artist. I'm afraid there won't be any certifications to verify interviewing skills in those doing the hiring.
Very speculative. What I have a problem with is the lines:
"What you want to do," he said, "is listen to your customers and bring out every two weeks improved versions that would each take your competitor two months to complete. That's when you are on a rocket -- they can't keep up so they can't compete. They lose hope and pretty soon you have the market pretty much to yourself."
which is fine for the freeware/techie crowd, but the average user will not check Google's web site every two weeks for the joy of installing a new version and possibly having to learn something new. Corporate America will not want to have to roll out applications every two weeks, no matter what mass-rollout tool they are using, because it means more support calls for bad installs or confused users - this in a day where every dollar is being weighed against your department being off-shored to India.
This is what Microsoft gets right: the snail's pace, because people just want to use those programs until they feel something is really missing that compells you to upgrade a year or two later at $100-$400 a pop. Employee training costs money, so if you support a desktop search tool that gets updated every few weeks, you have to interrupt people (time==$$) for the rollout, and you have those many people who will be utterly frozen in the headlights when a new Delete button pops up right where Compose used to be, and which they now blindly click.
So some sort of on-screen reverse IP lookup service like CallerID is required in order to identify callers. After all, once CLID came out, crank calls volume went down drastically.
I figure VOIP will have to drop to 1/2 to 1/3 its current price before it becomes attractive. With cell plans that give gobs of free minutes, who needs another phone number?
Yes! In all of the world you were the only one! Thank the stars you have pointed this out for us! Whew, that was close! We almost missed it. 25 years from now people will be thankful that you were here to catch that one. Wow!!
No, I just had to get the words "bad editorial work" in there somehow. I wanted to make sure everyone knew about the "bad editorial work." Because otherwise, no one might know about the "bad editorial work" here at Slashdot. "Bad editorial work?" Good thing it wasn't a redundant article.
Who gives a $#!+ about HD watching video?!? I need this for my backups right now! Well, to backup all my low quality pR0n videos. Now *there* are hours and hours of run.

I'd like to know what you're doing about preserving gravitons. This is the beginning of a T-shirt campaign...
Save the Gravitons!!!

Some would say they are Basques, now living in France and Spain.

Do you not know what vaporware is?
I've received free full versions of Office XP (2 copies actually) and Office 2003 for answering surveys and as thanks for supporting MSFT.
BTW, give scientists time - chickens will grow teeth.
It's pronounced V'ger, you insensitive clod!

I don't get it. How could the FP to mention the bad editorial work on Slashdot be redundant?
errr....fun

Sorry, I can't hear you. The little elastic strap on your tinfoil hat is on crooked.
Remember the rumors about Google getting into VOIP? Eweek is reporting that it will be a text and voice chat.s p?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K0000594

The download page shows it as a beta, so technically 2.0 has not been released yet.
Try learning to use the spell checker on your serious computer. You're not doing anything on "behalve" of anyone, retard.
Yes. Next article.
