Now what might be *useful* is for the phone to: 1. Call some of your friends to drink along with you. 2. Call an escort to cheer you up. 3. Call a cab to get you home at the end of the evening.
That way *you* get a fun evening(or at least a better one than sitting by yourself drinking) and the phone company gets to bill you for 3 additional calls leading to
The stereotype of the Real Man with real balls may have been a plus when it came to making him do dumb stuff like going to get stabbed at for his king, but it turns out to be a liability when the job requires more thinking with the head upstairs than with the one below the belt. You want someone taking economic decisions because they make logical and mathematical sense, not because it's his kind of measuring dick size against the partners.
Yet these same aggressive young men are the ones that start new businesses, thinking they've got what it takes to make it big, even though realistically the odds are against them. These same young men manage to convince investors and shareholders that they have got what it takes.
From an intellectual point of view I fully agree with you, but in the real world decisions are often made based on emotions, not facts. Just look around a big corporation who the guys are that rise to the top. Is it the quiet intellectuals that think with their heads or the sales guys that play people's emotions like a well tuned piano?
Yup, because between being a corporate whore on the one side and a complete communist on the other there's definitely not an entire spectrum of political views...
The mouse is an unnatural interface and its 100% learned. The button order doesn't matter.
Don't know about you, but my index finger is both stronger and more dexterous than my middle finger, so it makes sense to use it the most, hence the "left" click.
The only way I can get Flash to max out one of my cores is by playing a game with a lot of graphic effects. And frankly, when someone builds a game as epic as one of the early FF's, I'm not going to complain about 1 core...there's more where that cpu time came from.
So 1 website links to an article, causing its popularity rating to spike which pops it back to the top of the list, after which a whole bunch of people notice it and start feeding it into other websites hence making it even more popular...
(Having to fully stop on a bicycle is a big bummer, you lose ALL your hard-won kinetic energy.)
If you think that is bad, ride my bicycle for a while...the rear brake barely works so I every time I have to make an emergency stop because some 14 year old dickhead doesn't know what the little triangles on the road mean I get to do a little balancing act on the front wheel.
Oh well, at least I can be confident that when I arrive at work I'm fully awake:P
Suggesting we ban press outlets is decidedly anti-American, whether you personally consider them of any value or not. Change the channel, not the law.
So...freedom of speech is great, unless it is used to suggest something you disapprove of, even in the form of a joke?
Besides, considering the kind of crap that goes on under the banner of "patriotism", being called anti-american could be construed as a bloody compliment.

There's a joke in there somewhere. Heck, there's such a plethora of jokes in there that I don't even know where to begin...
Oh, and for the record...Matthew would have used Google;-)
It's easy to be a tough guy on the internet. Gun ownership strikes me a bit like a sexlife. Those who actually have one feel far less of a need to talk about it all the time.
It is the instructor's primary duty to instruct as best they can, and it is the student's duty to learn.
In a perfect world, perhaps. In the real one it's the instructor's primary duty to do whatever it takes to put food on the table and the student's duty to get a piece of paper that'll get him past the first HR line of defence.
Don't get me wrong, I fully acknowledge that there are many people out there with a sincere desire to teach, to learn and to share knowledge and wisdom. Unfortunately they're generally not the ones in charge of getting the paychecks signed at the end of the month.
They got a slap on the wrist in that they have to deal with inspections! Basically they killed people AND NOTHING HAPPENED. Lawsuits are always the boogeyman that businessmen like to use about costs in the US and it is crap. The fact is in the US businesses are not treated roughly at all.
The 2 are not mutually exclusive. When a corporation crosses the line all the government does is open its mouth a little wider, so the only resort for a private citizen is to start a civil lawsuit. If stricter regulations were in place backed by civil servants not on the payroll of the corps they're supposed to keep in check, the need for citizens to run to court every 5 minutes would decrease as a result.
Because commercial software companies deliver what the market asks and is willing to pay for, and currently the software market is more than happy to bend over and take it.
As for goodwill in the tech media...who needs that when you can just buy however many positive "reviews" as you think you need?
Slashdot Mirror
50 guys with an average cost of $100,000 per year is $50,000,000 per year.
Do you happen to work in accounting somewhere? And if so...any chance you're hiring? ;-)
What would be the point of that?

Make castration a standard step of getting an MBA?
One way or the other its bound to make the world a better place ;-)
Yup, because between being a corporate whore on the one side and a complete communist on the other there's definitely not an entire spectrum of political views...
Shame about the whole 3 strikes business and kicking the Roma's out of the country...
In light of the chosen name, I'm not entirely sure I want to see what comes after DEMO...
Seriously, in a field that is already rife with misinformation and FUD, they couldn't have come up with a better name? :)

Digital self-propelling necromancy?
Screw you, I was born in july and I demand my special "good morning" for my birthday.
Then again, I've heard there's ways of making relatively sure that sex does not lead to babies...

John Stewart, is that you? :)
I suppose we could go around wrapping dead scientists in copper wire...?
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to patent the magnetic coffin.

I "know" there is no God in the same way I "know" that there is no Santa Claus, no Easter Bunny and no Tooth Fairy.
Just because millions upon millions of people have been spoonfed similar fairy tales does not make them more valid.
Anyhow, clicking on a shortened URL can get you fired, arrested or divorced. Why would you do it?
Because I trust the source...which is a very small group of people.
Join the armed forces and ship off to Afghanistan? Doesn't get much more realistic than that...

Dune 2 had an .ini file for the level layout etc. as well.
There's nothing good about life that extreme environmentalists wouldn't frown on.
Note the keyword extreme. Hint: categorizing an entire set by its most extreme members leads to misleading results.
