He uses it to make money so it appears that he know how it performs. Saying otherwise is the same bullshit that brings us cables that 'sound' better when the are pluged in one way but not the other.
Like the two GulfStream 5's that the Medieval History major who is running HP into the ground bought while she was in the middle of laying off thousands to 'SAVE MONEY'? If the money was being put to better use the stockmarket would be doing much better, but it isn't.
The money is going to the CEO's and other high level execs.
NEW YORK - U.S. companies that outsourced the most jobs in 2003 also offered well-above average pay increases to their chief executives, according to a new study released this morning. Companies that made outsized political contributions to either the Democratic or the Republican parties also paid their CEOs unusually well, the study finds.
More From Dan Ackman
The average CEO compensation at the 50 firms outsourcing the most service jobs increased by 46% in 2003. That increase compares to an average hike of 9% for CEOs at 365 of the largest U.S. companies, according to a report by the Institute for Policy Studies, a non-profit that focuses on progressive research, and United for a Fair Economy, best known for its opposition to the repeal of the federal estate tax.
The study says that CEOs of the top outsourcing companies earned an average of $10.4 million in 2003, 28% more than the average CEO compensation of $8.1 million. These companies tended to be banks with call centers--such as Citigroup (nyse: C - news - people ), Bank of America (nyse: BAC - news - people ) and Morgan Stanley (nyse: MWD - news - people )--or technology companies with research facilities or call centers outside the U.S.--such as Oracle (nasdaq: ORCL - news - people ), Cognizant Technology Solutions and Intuit (nasdaq: INTU - news - people).
The study does not make the case that there is a causal relationship between outsourcing or political activism and CEO pay. However, it does claim a connection between contributions and at least one issue, the current effort in Congress to block rules that would require corporations to report all stock option grants as expenses in their financial statements.
The overall 9% pay increase is itself far in excess of pay increases enjoyed by Americans in general. For Americans overall, personal incomes rose by 3.2% between 2002 and 2003, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. After two years of narrowing, the CEO-to-worker wage gap is rising again. The CEO-pay-to-worker-pay ratio reached 301:1 in 2003, up from 282:1 in 2002, the study says.
Companies that gave large sums to political parties also tended to give outsize rewards to the boss. CEOs of the 69 companies that sponsored this summer's Democratic and Republican National Conventions saw their pay rise by 52% in 2003, far outpacing their fellow CEOs. (Elections laws generally bar corporations from giving money to candidates, though they may sponsor conventions.) Similarly, the 38 CEOs who have personally raised at least $100,000 for either the George W. Bush or John Kerry presidential campaigns (the list is heavily weighted for Bush) earned an average of $15.2 million in 2003, 88% more than the average large company CEO, the study says.
Major political sponsors included Altria (nyse: MO - news - people ) and American International Group (nyse: AIG - news - people ), both of which sponsored the conventions of both major parties. Financial firms were again well represented among sponsors. Goldman Sachs (nyse: GS - news - people ) and Washington Group International sponsored the Democratic convention; Merrill Lynch (nyse: MER - news - people ) and American Express (nyse: AXP - news - people ) sponsored the Republican convention. Companies headquartered in either Boston or New York, where the conventions were held are also prominent on the sponsor lists.

It's only Geforce and TNT2 support and they don't even work right. The install is much more complicated than an nvidia Geforce FX install on the 'inferior' Linux/X.org platform.
GeForce and TNT2 video drivers Vendor: NVidia Version(s): 43.45 License: Proprietary Hardware component: Graphics card Required version of ReactOS: 0.1.6 Required version of Microsoft(R) Windows(R): Windows NT 4 Link to vendor product page: NVidia.com Description: GeForce and TNT2 video drivers. ReactOS related notes:
It doesn't work perfectly yet. Not all lines are drawn (check the maze demo), sometimes the mouse cursor is corrupt, the hotspot for the mouse cursor is in the wrong place (you need to point down-right of where you want to click) and dragging the cards in Solitaire doesn't work as it should.
Using NVidia drivers on ReactOS How-to
1. Introduction There is little support for changing video drivers (or any other driver for that matter) in ReactOS at the moment. You have to know how to access the CVS repository and how to compile (simple) programs. If this is too complicated, please wait a few months, we should have better installation tools then.
2. Supported hardware The NVidia drivers were tested on the following video card: NVidia Riva TNT2 Model 64
However, according to the NVidia website, the same driver supports a whole series of video cards. If you find this driver works under ReactOS with other Cards, please let us know on the ros-general mailing list
3. Download the drivers First, go to the NVidia website, www.nvidia.com , choose "DOWNLOAD DRIVERS" from the menu at the top of the page (and "Download Drivers" again from the drop-down menu). Choose "Graphics Driver" in the first box, "GeForce and TNT2" in the second box and "Windows NT4" in the third ox, then click "Go!".
This How-to assumes you see a page identifying the driver you are out to download as version 43.45, release on April 10, 2003. Download the English version. (This is a direct link to the download page.)
4. Unpack the drivers Start the file you just downloaded (note: you need to do this on a MS-Windows computer, doesn't work on ReactOS yet). It will ask you for a directory where to save the files. You can accept the default of C:\NVIDIA\WinNT4\43.45 or change it to your liking, just remember where you put them....
After the files are unpacked, the install wizard will start. Just press "Cancel" on the Welcome screen and tell the thing that, yes, you are quite sure you want to cancel the installation. Open a Command Prompt window and cd to C:\NVIDIA\WinNT4\43.45 (or wherever you put the files). You should have a nv4_mini.sy_ and a nv4_disp.dl_file. Issue the following commands: expand nv4_mini.sy_ nv4_mini.sys expand nv4_disp.dl_ nv4_disp.dll After this, you should have a nv4_mini.sys file of 1511936 bytes and a nv4_disp.dll file of 569807 bytes.
5. Patch the miniport driver Since ReactOS is not 100% binary compatible with MS-Windows yet, the miniport driver (nv4_mini.sys) needs to be patched. There is a small patch program in the ReactOS CVS tree at reactos/apps/utils/patchnv4 which you need to compile. Copy the patchnv4.exe to the directory where you have your nv4_mini.sys file and run it. Afterwards, you should have a nv4_mini.sys.orig (the original) and a nv4_mini.sys (the patched version). Note that we're working towards binary compatibility, so if you're not reading this on the ReactOS website , please go there and check if the patching is still necessary (ReactOS might have been fixed...).
Because it make everyone the same. See with timedollars everyone is equal. Doesn't matter if you spent 100,000 USD to become a doctor your time is worth no more than the fat ass who does next to nothing.
At least that is what it looks like to me after a quick glance at their website.
Those WAPs are for the handheld terminals that the CSM's (Customer Service Managers use) and some of the Automotive depts also use the same wireless network for their workorder entry.
The large media corps that help decide nextgen dvd standards do not like DIVX and Microsoft doesn't want to piss them off. Microsoft need to grow and having every dvd player maker on the planet pay them money will help them do that.
"Baby teeth from counties near two nuclear plants in Florida and plants in California, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania were compared with baby teeth from other counties in the same states."
The article I linked said the Hurricane cased a covered up nuclear leak at the plant.
I do not equate criticism of the Israli goverment with anti-semetism. Bitch about them all you want to, just don't claim that killing a 3 year old on a bus is a legimitate military target.
The leaders of the PA have to keep their population upset with Israli because they do not want their people to know how much money they have taken from them. With as much aid as the PA gets from the EU, USA and the UN it should be a much better place to live.
And, don't you think that Israel would stop counter attacking if the PA would put a stop to the suicide bomb attacks against Israel?
Frankovich says the children of survivors of Hurricane Andrew were recently asked to bring in their baby teeth when they fell out, for what was called the "Tooth Fairy Study." It was found that these children had radiation levels seven times higher than what is considered safe. Frankovich lived directly behind the Metrozoo. While the zoo reported that only a few animals died, in reality 95% of them died in the storm. Rhesus monkeys and big apes wandered around the rubble with Frankovich and her fellow survivors. Only later did she learn that the animals were infected with the AIDS virus. It turns out that the University of Miami ran a research center on the back property of Metrozoo that no one was supposed to know about.
The Coast Guard Station was next door to the complex where Frankovich lived. A woman whose husband worked for the Coast Guard told Frankovich that the Coast Guard pulled 1,500 bodies out of the water. She said that everyone who worked on the body pick-up had to take an oath of secrecy not to discuss what they saw or did in the first ten days. When Frankovich spoke to a group in Clearwater about Hurricane Andrew, a man from the audience stood up and said that he was called up to active duty for nine weeks to help with the clean up. "The death figures the media is giving are totally inaccurate," he said. "The information I received is that 5,280 bodies were disposed of in incinerators."

In this case the taxpayers (THATS US) are already paying for it. Why should we have to pay for it twice?

Easy, it currently has low mindshare and even bringing it up has the effect of increasing people interest in it.
Those aren't his answers, those are the answers of the CA PR depts.
I have a very think skin, nothing gets to me anymore: Besides it been a nice distraction while I but on ebay stuff.

Night.
Yes ;-> I want /. to be around for a while and I am afraid they won't unless they change. If I didn't like /. I would just keep quite and give up on it.
How said I was mad? I just am not giving them 20-40 USD per year. Most sites/corps would at least respoond when that much pure profit was at stake.
If /. didn't have so many dupes that could run more/different articles.
