Because system restore disks suck, and I'm really happy I didn't have to copy somebody else's stuff just to get get a system disk for the OS I paied for.
What if I change the hardware out on my system so that the system restore disk doesn't work? What if I get a new, bigger HD then partition it and install NetBSD, AROS or QNX?
If you a a manager say: "even though (1) times (2) is less than (3); but if it does fail do you want to be the person responsible for not producing an issue for the first time in 150 years?"
MS still would have invented DirectX because it's something they can controll. They controll the most prevelant development environment for the PC, Visual Studio, and they can use that control to influence developers to use their stuff rather than an open standard or other SDK.

Perhaps outside the research, and academic community PhDs are overrated.
Post Undergrad work is highly specialized. Once you get a Masters the rules for gaining employmen change. It becomes: "What can your highly specialized field of study bring to the company and how can it contribute directly to our research and development?".
Also there are limited numbers of academic and research positions available. Frequently they are required for a Government job where they already have a candidate in mind.
Then there's connecting to CPAN from systems that are not on the internet. Yes, I know you can maintain a local CPAN mirror, but that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it.
And the manager who hierd the incompetant DBA deserves what he gets.
Is shouldn't matter ifthe server is functional of not out of the box. It's the DBA's part of the DBA's job to know how to configure it and make it work.
Fauilure to change the default username/password on the production db is a sign of an incompetant DBA.
On the other hand developers may have need to set up and configure their own test environments and may not have full DBA support.
Does it really matter if the meeting is useful or not? I get paied the same if I spend all day in useless meetings or if I spend the day being productive.

But what about us poor bastards with degrees like "Engineering Physycs", and certs like SCBCD and SCWCD?
Because as a programmer/engineer/manager that's why they hired you.
If you don't like those terms I suggest you start your own company or negotiate your own terms of employment.

Linux is software, Linux hires nobody.
The music may be in the public domain, but a given performance of the music is probably not.
Forget the 80's Metal. I'm a Developer, at least Sun says so, listening to Novasonic,and Dir en Grey.
What about: "Risk to Brand"?

I believe that in this case the FCC is entirely to blame. Isn't it their chartered duty to make sure that crap like this doesn't happen.
Like we really need 3 more golf channels, and 6 football channels, and a dozen more shopping channels.
Actually a language was invented that would make programmers obsolete. Accountants could write their own software, and reports.
That language was COBOL.
From what I've seen companies spend about $0 on Windows training, so a 15% increase is still $0.
What about all the broken CPAN modules out there?
Then there's connecting to CPAN from systems that are not on the internet. Yes, I know you can maintain a local CPAN mirror, but that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it.

You have a right to conduct business.
In conducting your business you do not have a right to make a profit.
You may make a profit provided that you follow the laws of the land you do business in. This includes the Anti-Trust laws
There's nothing wrong with 30-year-old rust-bucket space technology as long as it does its work cheap and reliable.

Do these people also realize that by sending the jobs overseas they're also reducing the market here?
Maybe Gentoo will finish compiling by then.
No, it its not.
You can not conceal a car and carry it into a building.
You can not use a car to hijack an airplane, like you can with an unregulated box cutter without a serial number.
You can not use a car to to rob a store of restraunt.
A car is not a distance attack weapon, it's up an personal.
