I said "I try" to avoid MS. There are a bunch of things I do use from MS, like the fonts and Visual Studio. I hate to admit it, but I really like VS. I also use the libs to run games in wine.
Also, I always hear, "look how bad the fonts render" in reviews and such. Honestly, I don't know what they are talking about. I don't understand. Everything on my screen is perfectly legible. I have no complaints. But someone knowledgeable of font rendering may look at my screen and say, "why don't you just shoot yourself now?"
I own a "kit" aircraft that I built. I can assure you that no one let's the owner do "stupid shit". I had inspectors verifying my work monthly. I had to document the entire process and rebuild parts I fucked up or that they felt hesitant about. My plane is true in every sense of the word. The end result is a better than factory aircraft that exceeds all safety regulations. Did I mention it is fully aerobatic as well and its main spar is capable of withstanding +/- 7 G's? I also spent 7 years of my life building the plane. I doubt anyone will want to spend that much time on a $7k car kit.
I'm pretty sure you are slamming the tea party, a philosophy I fully support, in your troll. Just to let you know, I use OpenSuSE 11.4 (been using SuSE since '97) and try my best not to use any Microsoft product. Just so you know. Have a great liberal day!
Aren't you supposed to be protesting? What are the other protesters going to think if you're slacking off posting on/. and not holding up your placard?
Have you ever heard Ron Paul speak? After reigning in the Fed, his second point is to BRING THE TROOPS HOME, then cut the bureaucracies, Again a case of research before inserting foot...
I actually like "fresh" wine. Every year in Germany (I lived there for three years), we'd go to the wine fests and drink "new" wine. It still had the CO2 fizziness - yum. Oh wait, did I say CO2, I'm sure to get modded flamebait for that one. I like mature wine as well, but I fondly remember the new as well.
Thanks, I think... It's actually not a business - hobby maybe. I was sitting in Odessa one night and I thought, "damn I wish I knew what I know now before I came here." You know, hind sight and all. So I'm trying to help those that may choose my same path. Oh and it really is the story of my recent life. I'm now engaged and the date is set for 10July12. So it can and does happen for many. And just like a lot of guys here on slashdot, I'm a socially awkward geek with asperger characteristics. And my baby is SO unbelievably beautiful - makes me cry. Smile.
Have you considered they may have been blocked "because" they would not allow the US Government to install bugged devices? It may not be "China is a threat". It may be "Huawei won't let us spy".
I agree with "Understand the reasons for the current situation". Once you do, you may find that there are political reasons or an unwillingness by management to spend money on "unnecessary" additional software.
Once you stumble into one of these situations, you're either going to need to learn to adapt and SLOWLY change them or you'll find yourself very frustrated the rest of your time there. Once a company has a "working" solution, it's hard to change the heading of the ship especially as the "know it all" new guy. Be careful or you'll be branded a "loose canon".
So I'm a boss of a small manufacturing line (product I invented when I was an engineer). I have 35 direct reports. I have several that I feel are key, but I can tell you this, I can replace anyone of them and survive even though I tell them I can't live without them. If one of my employees comes and asks me honestly what they should do in your situation, I say, leave. I'll even give them a great reference if they ask and deserve such. If life will be better for you in the other company, go to the greener pasture. If you stay and bring your "what if" regrets to work with you every day, you'll bring the rest of my staff down with you. So go, be free and happy!
So it is an insulated box of resistive elements, that heat water to the point of generating steam. Then it is unplugged and the huge thermal mass within the insulated box continues to produce steam for another 40 minutes or so, all the while the intenal temp drops from 133 to 121C? Without the thermal mass a good insulator may be able to acheive a drop of only 10C over the span of 30 minutes. Let's say the insulator was aerogel for example...

Mine is in /etc/pulse/ (OpenSuSE 11.4).
Last time I install Debian, it was on like 14 floppies - SMILE.

Have you ever tried to work in Liquid N2?
Shouldn't you have listed yourself first?

I'm sure it'll be blamed on climate change within a week. Oh wait, that causes shrinking animals... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44772989/ns/technology_and_science-science/
Is it wrong to be laughing uncontrollably at these asshats?

It's probably trillions of lines of code...
So, you mean to tell me there is no spawn point? This changes everything!
WOW! What else can this amazing operating system do? Who makes this? Micro What?

I thought EOB was better, but only because EOB was AD&D...
I spent too many months of my life in front of my A500 due to those games.
that's how I read it too...
Do you offer a four easy payments plan?

Did someone already call shenanigans?
How do you know it was "vicious" sex? Maybe they really loved each other?
