they also started using 3 bit per cell storage, effectively making their lives 1/3 as long while decreasing speed, while still being expensive as jewel encrusted shit
give me a modern SLC quarter gig drive for 150 bucks then I might start looking, otherwise I am not looking to replace my expensive drive every 2-7 years while counting every write, I have 3.5inch drives as early as 1986 damit, I expect more for the investment.
yep that right there is why I quit IT 16 years ago, you want to pay me 9 bucks and hour and do that while tolerating your dunk useless ass who is too cheap to buy a fucking spool of cable?
fuck the hell out of you, buy your own god damned breakfast burrito
I am in a better career now, and your are fighting off lawyers for your 4th wife, showing up to work with piss stains on your 3 day old pants, still thinking your jesus
Thats one of the problems with IT, its a freaking roller coaster, one year your doing good with a big project upgrading the company to the latest and greatest thing. Then another year, often as the big project wraps up, you're out on your ass counting change for gas.
The latest thing always changes, this "hill" is going to the final death of XP, and many people are scrambling to get their decade old systems, software, and data structures up to snuff, once its done they might keep some of the good ones that didnt crack, but most will be back at the bottom of the roller coaster again.
What this summary misses is that the blackout sent the dude to the hospital, and not even 3 weeks later he is drinking it up at a party again. Thats a problem blinky ice cubes wont solve
nothing drives me nuts more than "some dude" that shows up with the best idea ever! but knows nothing on how to make it, may it be electrical, mechanical, software, or in general
they almost always have an idea so generic its pethetic, with a disposition that they are so smart that they are the only ones to ever think of it, but never give a second thought of how much work no one wants to give to their idea
its like the 10 year old that wants to make thhttp://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/01/13/0455234/learn-basic-programming-so-you-arent-at-the-mercy-of-programmers#e biggests epic RPG, and the entire input is "save the princess", make it mind blowing awesome, I will just kick back now!
I AM a basic programmer, learned when I was a kid in the 80's, writing a applesoft program now for a retro compo, wrote a qbasic program the other day to half ass something at work.
did the VB scene, do the VB.net scene... I can puke basic out faster than a college freshman that just discovered that jagermeister and goldschlager dont mix well... and I can say
NO, FUCKING STOP
you want to write stuff, fine, but seriously there are so many languages out there now that are not only better, but can easily morph into each-other if you decide to expand your skills. dont waste your time with basic in this day and age.
cause, if you remember to set up your wifi, make an account, pay a monthly fee, and program it every time you go to the store I will tell you that your milk is going to go bad!
they have all this advanced bullshit, but every month I log into comcast's website, pay my bill, then check to see that they are not screwing me over, like the time I found out I could double my internet speed for the same price I was already paying...
while logged in they offer me services not available in my area, and if I try to sign up for something they send me though the same thing as a new customer... do you want to rent your cable box? and installer will be there blah blah blah
only been a customer with them 5 years, think they could RELATE a LOGIN to a SERVICE?
but yet, somehow they are smart enough to figure out that one youtube video has van halen playing in the background as a car drives by?
I send a "fuck you" to every ISP on the planet, you couldn't wipe your own ass without being told to
do you prefer to dig though a mile long start menu or do you like clicking that little search box on windows and type in device ma enter?
they are offering the mile long start menu, where is that document I wanted, oh its over here, now lets open it, move it, embed it, put it away and send an email
systems we have now, let the computer find it, attach, done.
Slashdot Mirror
the last hotel room I stayed in had a CRT, and wifi connected to a hundred people sharing the same 768k connection
so I will pass, thanks
even better, when they screw up and delete something they did not mean to, and go looking for it later, they have someone to blame
USB-sized self-contained computer revolution has arrived, all you need to take with you is a thumbstick!*
*along with HDTV, Keyboard, Mouse, and pretty damn good internet access since vnc is still a bit draggy on a gigabit lan and subscribe to a service
ugh quarter TB

A+ and MCP might get you a 50 cent raise at a mom and pop computer repair shop
if they can afford it
"and big fees for lawyers"
which AMD cant afford as it gets closer to the drain
no, its not the position of a potential employer to bring in someone new AND educate them, they dont run a school, nor a daycare

if its already stored in a computer, why does someone have to get it and manually email it to you
what is this? 1970?
maybe drink more water so you feel full?
yay progress, instead of one button to do a menu its now 3!
I just love having options forced onto me

+1 internets
when I replace my phone in a couple years, I have to replace a bunch of other shit that magically wont work anymore
great plan, if you are not a consumer

I send a "fuck you" to every ISP on the planet, you couldn't wipe your own ass without being told to
there must be some mistake, the ISP did something which incriminated you
solved
they sweatboxed her with a lawsuit, and the first rational answer popped out
my dumbass ISP (comcast) cant even transfer the fact that I am logged in while shopping for services ON THEIR OWN SITE
on both sides
55% across the board is really stretching reality, there's materials, size, quality, shape, color, finish blah blah blah
55% more, more than what? a rebel? or some shitty red ebay thing 100 for a buck, I have LED's 100% brighter ... than a shitty ebay normal red
