Because most tech support people aren't techs, and most people that call are the farthest thing from it. If a level 1 tech tried to explain to your average user what DCHP was, their head would explode.
Level 1 techs don't think about about your problem, they run through their list of common fixes to that problem. If it doesn't work, then it goes to level 2.
Sorry, just a different interpretation of the word "salary". I took it as you meaning annual, you meant monthly (other people might take it as biweekly i suppose).
Makes an absolutely huge difference in per capita income, that multiplying your money by 12;-)
Apply this to programming: "He didn't make any new libraries or a new language, he just assembled existing functions and threw some variables in"
Mixing's a lot harder than it sounds, and a good job is really good stuff to listen to. But I bet you're one of those people who dislikes any song already performed by anyone ever, regardless of who wrote it originally.
Gotta say that if your average salary works out to $500 a year, you're probably not in Apple's target demographic. Not in many people's target demographics, actually.
Complexity is the last thing I was in a phone or PDA. I like having options, but when i want to take a note or make a phone call, it should be brainlessly simple. I want to think about what I'm taking notes one, not how 'm supposed to take notes.
Complexity as far as configurability and programability, sure, but not in usability.
That's why you don't go to a school that will cost you $150,000. If you can't afford to go to an ivy league, go to something cheaper. You're education won't be much different as an undergrad.

You think thats bad? Try having my job, of explaining to users that, yes, I know they didn't really send that message, and yes, I know they don't know the person who thinks they have a virus.
"These are the results of one of the more interesting types of viruses that go around. Someone who has you in their address book has a virus, and that virus sends infected messages from the infected computer that masquerade as somebody else in their address book.
Long and short of it is that you're not infected (yay) but there's nothing we can do to stop it since it really doesn't have anything to do with you (boo).
Agreed. Most of my suits are as comfortable to me as wearing sweats. I've got only 2 complaints about wearing suits to work. First, cleaning a suit is a bit more work than slacks. Second, the amount of time I have to spend under a user's desk or inside of some of fithly situation is directly proportional to how well I'm dressed. If i wear jeans, I'll spend the day coding. Come in with a tie, and we'll have something die in a filthy telco closet somewhere.
And for the cheapskates out there, you can get extenders that give you an extra 1/2 size to your neck size of your shirts. Cost about a buck apiece at any given suit store.

And you, dear sir, just made it onto my friends page. Nice to see a splash of sanity in the midst of the 'police hate' around here.
I dunno. That big red logo is pretty scary.
Where's my big troll sticker when I need it?
This assumes that those of us that do like to drink are too irresponsible to have a designated driver.
Still beats intersecession. "Get back here with half my class!"
Except which one came first? Bloody star trek nuts.

But the audience doesn't see the little differences from night to night, unless they see a performance more than once.

Sorry, they already lost thier chance to get my dollars from thier previous horrible products.
Right, and look how many people hate graffiti.

Maybe I learned that its not worth the time spent to look for grammar mistakes on slashdot posts.
Language is about communicating ideas. If you knew what I was talking about, than thats the important part. Its not like I'm paid to do this.
I can't argue with that. The question is, though, is that worth an extra $120,000 in debt if you're the one paying for college?

Difference: The poster can tell us to go to hell. If we did that to the government, we go to jail.
Safari's got this if you open the debug menu.
Hey, don't knock Word 5.1 Just becuase Word 6 was painful doesn't mean all the ones before it were.
Try it in Keynote. It suprisingly does better than PowerPoint.

Where are you located? I've got a few associates resumes I could pass your way.
