I had a similar problem with an eternal virus scan, and crashing. Turned out I had a physical problem on the hard-drive. I suggest that you run several different hard-drive scan utilities and see if your disk is in perfect shape.

Keeping in mind that Crutchfield will never tell you "just wait a few years," I often go to the Crutchfield site or check a Crutchfield catalog for product info and comparisons. And I am not associated with Crutchfield.
Oh, you're not the John Smith that we intended to spam? We will gladly take your name off our list. Now, what is your social security number and your mother's maiden name? We wouldn't want to make any mistakes!
To put it mildly, the publishers are PARANOID about cannibalizing their print readership and their advertising supported web readership. All of the feuding factions will gang up on any premium web activity which they think may affect their numbers. Just aggressively avoiding any cooperation with premium activities (skip meetings, don't return phone calls) is the kiss of death when dealing with something as dynamic as the web.
I've been to stores with a lot of customers who have limited English and may be transient workers. If you don't have a card extended, ready to use, the clerks used theirs. They don't even ask.
I assume they got grief when customers who paid full price returned with someone English fluent who was upset because the customer couldn't understand how to get the discount. And the store probably wasn't even offering the card to people who were not English fluent.
Come on, LibertineR is either a troll or a total narcissist. In either case he is not interested in the point presented by anyone else. The original topic was outsorce vs telecommute and his only (off)topic is "I"
Consider yourself a karma millionaire in comparison.
The Tax thing just reinforced my opinion that Intuit does not know how to stop themselves. They drove me away from Quicken when they discovered the Internet and persistently harassed my Quicken session to try and buy their various web $ervices and partners.
It isn't the hard stance, it is the "what can I get away with" stance.
Sometimes it is no necessary to analyze a book's karma in order to do a good review.
I've read about half of this book, and I think this is a good review of the contents with something about the author's point of view thrown in. It describes the features that would make someone decide to spend their valuable time with this book.
I don't think there is anything wrong with this particular review. As far as the overall reviews go, you could find a book that has been a real disappointment and do a review. That would lower the 80% figure you mentioned.
Garden of Rama was one of the "next two [which] were "very poor and added nothing." The fourth and last book, which was so fantastic that you forgot the title, was Rama Revealed.
Where it was revealed that, well absolutely nothing was revealed except that, according to Lee Gentry, God has something to do with the mysteries of the universe.
I checked the first sequel, Rama II, out of the library, and after finishing it, a month later checked it out again. I had totally blanked out the experience, the book was such crap.
Comdex should file for protection against it's own on-line registration system. A system that intutitively knows what you need and makes sure that you can never get to those screens. And wipes out post-data if you fail to fill out all the fields.
So what will be the plan for developing expertise above and beyond anything the low-skill 'labor programmer' can do? I'm sure it will use a lot of terminology in 'quotes' but what else is involved?
- Go to college - Low-skill jobs are overseas, so... ? - Burger King - Burger King -... ? - Reach expertise level!!!
Going to use the "everyone can get a government job" gambit here?
Little buddie, if you are interested in first hand knowledge, browse around that Tech Central Station. It is "Where Free Markets Meet Technology" but if free markets don't come out looking sweet, they just screw around with the fact as necessary (as in 'add salt and pepper to taste'). The taint of this site is something to consider when arguing about the article.
Okay, this it totally off topic, but it is so good. The new character for the Lord of the Rings, and the absolute end of civilization as we know it. (Jar) Jar omir
Doesn't the POSTER even read the article? Major screwing in the works, especially for new technology. Really for any technology except the cable companies.
It said the same thing to me. Sometimes I wonder if the slashdot editors have ANY standards for fiction book reviews, and I've always decided that they don't. It's really unfair to the reviewer, because they've read the book, thought about it, and taken time to put it in writing, but then are given no editorial feedback until the slashdot readers respond. I don't think the reviewer has a very informed point of view, but any editor could have seen that and asked for some rewrite (instead of wasting our time).
Just buy one of the current consumer level Sony VCRs as mentioned in the original article. I did that. What a piece of junk. I have a 3 year old Sony VCR and it is great, but the 1992 model is junk beyond belief, even the color. It went back and I had the original 8 year old VCR repaired for 1/2 the price of the new Sony. I assume that people buy it because it is cheap, and what the heck, in a few years they expect to replace it with a tivo or a recordable DVD.

I was wondering what genius came up with the name "Acxiom." It's stupid, but it gets them near the top of alphabetical listings.

Good luck to your site.

It isn't the hard stance, it is the "what can I get away with" stance.
In other words, "if you are willing to be considered 'average' you could stop learning at 2,000 kanji characters."
That attitude might work with your slacker buddies in the us of a, but don't dare say that to your friends in Japan.
For example, concerning an ambitious clod, "The only thing between him and the top of the ladder, was the ladder."

You summed it up perfectly.

The fourth and last book, which was so fantastic that you forgot the title, was Rama Revealed.
Where it was revealed that, well absolutely nothing was revealed except that, according to Lee Gentry, God has something to do with the mysteries of the universe.

Gentry Lee is a total turd of a writer.

So what will be the plan for developing expertise above and beyond anything the low-skill 'labor programmer' can do? I'm sure it will use a lot of terminology in 'quotes' but what else is involved?

- Burger King

I also do not understand the foppish tone of the original poster: "Say chaps, this might be old hat, but there's a fab site ..."
Is this www or kkk? The whole thing is disgusting.

I got a headache from the first paragraph of the review, even before any mention of a Howard Stern type of character or the expression "so unique"
