Because this isn't the 80s / early 90s. If I want to turn off my pc and run a game, I have a PS2. I sure as hell don't want to reboot just to play a game, and then again when I want to go back to browsing the net.
Hey, I know some UML. Enough to use it. I'm no ninja or anything but enough. And I put it on my resume. I'll tell you why I have to put in on my resume, because it's a bullshit-buzzword. I've had so many job descriptions that require UML, and the a couple of the last few jobs I've had all "required" UML, and you turn up and find that it's not used at all, or there's an out-of-date class diagram somewhere on the fileserver.
Apple hardware is great when it's good, but they must do close to zero testing at their end. Of all the apple hardware I've purchased (and seen purchased by friends) over the last 3 or 4 years, including all manner of laptops and iPods, only 2 iPods have not been replaced. The iBook I'm using to type this up is running perfectly, and without a hitch. Now that it's on its third motherboard. Girlfriend's Nano was DOA (wouldn't charge), and I've a mate who only ever uses apple, and he's not had a good laptop out of the box yet.
Apple's customer services is good, and once you get a machine made completely out of good parts they really can't be beat, but I can't see how this high defect rate is more profitable than just testing the fucking things more thoroughly at the factory. They must have very low cashflow for that to be the case I imagine.
I agree. I'm not an unhappy guy. I've got a good job, fast car, nice girl- but I still want more money. Everybody does. I love driving a nice car, but I don't like how big a percentage of my wage goes towards paying it off:) The point I was trying to make is, I don't care that there's CEOs out there that make my yearly wage every couple of hours. And I don't think I'm smarter than they are (I may be, I don't know any CEOs) and obviously what they do is worth more than what I do, or I'd be making millions, and them tens of thousands. I don't believe there's some intrinsic value to what I do and not to what they do.
Value, like beauty, is in the eye of the (highest bidding) beholder.
Not only is it not new, it's not going to get any valid discussion here on/. All the posts are pretty much "wah wah wah, somebody else makes more money than me".
It's like a bunch of 4 years olds who don't care how much ice cream they have, only how much their brother got.
Psst! Here's a tip. It's not staying off the booze that makes regular people not want to go out with you guys, it's your attitude. Whenever my mates go out there's always a couple of people who don't drink, or *gasp* just have a couple. And nobody cares. I know Timmy the jock made fun of you for not being able to drink a whole six-pack (wow) when you were 16, but people grow up.
No, your male nipples are for breastfeeding, just like those of the fairer of the species. Most guys can do it, it just takes more coaxing, because we (obviously) don't have the "pregnant" hormone changes to kick it off.
Don't worry though, once sales of this version die down, the old crusty one will be released on DVD just so you can buy it all again in order to see the version you remember from the 60s. And then there's the Blu-Ray version! And HD-DVD! Both with slightly different content, so you need to buy both!
So? It's still a hundredfold increase over wiggling a little stick and mashing some buttons. If you want to swing a sword that badly, go join one of those nerdy medievil re-creation societies.
Shitforbrains, Facism was Italy not Germany. There is a difference. Just like there's a difference between communism and socialism (and all the other isms, that's why they have different names).
Of course. Only a fairly serious nerd would (apparently wrongly) trust in his ability to use his PC for child porn without going to FPMITA prison. And nerds, as a whole, tend to like star trek. Ergo, those with an amount of child porn worth arresting, like star trek.
If this is true, then my bad. Why the fuck do we take so much shit in the various trade agreements over the years? I always thought mining was a distant second to farming. Lousy media.
And that is the point only Nintendo seems to understand. Casual games aren't "bait" to trick you into getting Metroid. Metroid sells itself to just about everybody who's interested in playing it. Casual games exist solely to sell casual games (and DSs) to people who don't care about running around various alien worlds killing things. To people who don't want to have to play for 4 hours to get the big gun, only to play for another 4 hours to get the slightly bigger gun.
Don't get me wrong, I'm halfway through Prime Hunters atm, but I also loved nintendogs. The only reason I stopped playing it was that I couldn't do it as casually as I wanted, not because it wasn't exciting. Coming back every couple of days, all I ever had was a cranky hungry filthy dog and it started to bug me:)

Because you're 18 years old, you're in a 7-11, you don't know shit about shit AND PULL UP YOUR PANTS!
Yes. Upload me and a few of my nearest and dearest into a million-year lifespan self-healing starship, randomly pick a star, point and launch.

How to make CSS great, in two easy steps:
1) vertical-align.
2) inline-block.
Thankyou.

Cut once and cut deep. It's the "waves" of layoffs that really nosedive morale and frighten the easily-employable to jump ship.

How are the Aboriginals supposed to bash any Native Americans? And why? What did they ever do?

Don't worry, I have a feeling wii'll be getting a solution to that problem soon.
New to this whole "LCD" thing huh?
Shitforbrains, Facism was Italy not Germany. There is a difference. Just like there's a difference between communism and socialism (and all the other isms, that's why they have different names).
Is the US education system really this bad?
Of course. Only a fairly serious nerd would (apparently wrongly) trust in his ability to use his PC for child porn without going to FPMITA prison. And nerds, as a whole, tend to like star trek. Ergo, those with an amount of child porn worth arresting, like star trek.

Lousy national party and their farm propaganda.
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your magazine.
Good for you, chaps! No wonder you're so chummy with the world!
