Seems like Steve must've found a bunch of Newtons in old inventory that he souped up with color displays. What we'll probably see is a cross between the handheld organizer and their iMusic device. in the end? a great organizer with 6GB of storage. tell me that hasn't been done yet.:)
Why don't you try Trillian if you're looking for cross-IM compatibility. Support for AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, and IRC. very cool

As much as you'd like to think that maybe its only the technical experience you need for this job, maybe you've neglected other aspects of your position. With the current economic outlook, it would be relatively easy to replace you with someone who has twice as much experience in a heartbeat.
The real reasoning is most likely masked by the fact that we are only getting your side of this story. I imagine if we were to look into more detail from your employers position we would find many reasons to replace you with the right candidate. I'm not saying we should let ageism take over, but I honestly can't see how this plays in this situation.
Honestly, if you were working for me, and couldn't take the time to spell-check your emails/posts/reports/etc. then how am I to believe that your work is completely thorough? Just from reading your post, I get the impression that you are probably competent in technology, but your execution is not completely solid.
I would recommend going back to university/college and getting your CS degree to create your own competitive advantage.
I've actually reworked my XBox so my hamster can live inside of it. With all of the real-estate it takes on my entertainment center, I had to make it earn its shelf-space.
Get your degree in 3 easy payments of 39.95 at Krock University, the only unofficially accredited post-education institution for the blind and meager. Act now, and we'll throw in an honorary mention in the Dean's list for an extra 9.95$

What happens when the cash register can't "read" your money because its crumpled up, or has been used too often. I often find myself at the grocery store and my debit and credit cards won't read properly without using tape or some other cloodge.
I do like the convenience of card-based money, but not enough to forfeit the anonymous nature of cold hard cash.
How can everyone forget the Half-Life mod, Counter-Strike? Much better playability than UT, and better realism than Quake. How can you go wrong with a game that has redefined the first-person-shooter into a co-operative strategy game?
That Microsoft would've been able to bridge the gap between their zone users and passport. Yahoo's been doing it for years, having one login to access all of their services. It just seems easier from the standpoint that you can access Microsoft's web properties using a common login. What concerns me is when this information starts being shared between alternative vendors... ie: eBay. I'd personally rather have an account setup for eBay with a different password than what I use for my hotmail email or play video games.
It's already happening.. Install MS-Money 2002. Need a passport account to access your online bank statements. It even requests a login to use the software locally!
What about a car alarm that paged you on your mobile device? That'd be more useful than a loud obnoxious sound.. you're in the mall.. beep beep. oh look honey, someones' trying to steal our car!
Maybe we've finally reached a new level of console gaming, where no clear-cut winner will EVER emerge. It's no longer the console which defines the industry, but rather, the games available. The growing trend of having most games available on all platforms just further proves that a world with three consoles is still possible. The only deciding factor will come down to whether you prefer to play a game with a fat lazy plumber or a blue hedgehog or crash bandicoot. And even then, you're likely to find a similar style game with just different characters substituted for the platform of your choice.
Maybe it should be ICANNT. The current outlook on domain resolution is bleak at best. Unless you have a politician in your back pocket (or have a $5 hooker at his doorstep), you're screwed.
Seems even movie stars are getting into the fray, pushing the divide between upper and middle classes to the net.
Larry is a munchkin-megalomaniac. He can't afford to not get his grubby little fingers into every piece of cake, especially if its a money cake. Who cares' who's birthday it is...
IMHO, I believe Larry's doing this for one of the following reasons:
1) Free publicity. (I'm saving America from the Taliban).
2) The 52-page license agreement the NSA was forced to sign which stipulates that Oracle will provide all custom development, installation, and configuration at an hourly rate of an employee's first born.
3) You get this huge mondo database, but you have to share the information with me!!! THe Oracle-backdoor trojan virus which allows Larry to peruse the addresses of hot chicks to invite over to his private jet getaway.
How the hell was this modded as a Troll. Clearly the moderators have their heads so far up their ass that they don't understand a perfectly humorous post when it hits them in the rectum.
Jet Li is now just a kung-fu whore. He'll kick anyone's ass for the right money. I'm surprised there isn't an item on eBay you can bid to get your ass kicked by him.
Separating yourself from all of the other workers shouldn't be encompassed by burning your bridges. You'll find that you are separating yourself from your peers, but with an adverse reaction. As large as the world is, you'll find the tech industry has tight ties, and burning your bridges will only brand you with a reputation for insubordination and an inability to work in a team setting. Instead, focus on what gives you a competitive edge on your co-workers. Raise the bar to change the battlefront. Because remember, you said it best, there are a lot of developers out there who are unemployed, and they'd love to have your job. Even if it means they have to use one of their least favoured IDE's. etc.

this isn't how they ported Quake over to the GameBoy Advanced?

Make sure you staple your TPS report to the cover.

You should rent the movie "Cube". It's quite amusing what you can imagine people are brought together to build without their knowledge...

If you need only one reason to buy a DC, this is it. As far as game dynamics go, this game is much better than whats available on XBox/PS/GC today.
Why is the Compaq logo displayed? even if that merger goes through, its not going to be called Hewlett-Comcrap.
I can't believe this was moderated as redundant. That was obviously funny.
With all of the pop-ups on pr0n, we'll all be entering bankruptcy.

I disagree. I think it's more like:
Supported = Might Work
Not Supported = Didn't bother taking the time to figure if it works or not.
