Funny that, I've been told by some rather serious runners to avoid expensive shoes, because they're gimmicks.
But you miss the point entirely. The purpose of the branding is to illustrate your disposible income as a measure of status. The less sophisticated the audience, the more obvious the branding. That's is why the logos on clothing for high-schoolers is far more prominent than the clothing for adults. When you buy Oakleys, or Air Jordans, or whatever today's fad is, you are quite literally paying for the right to display how much money you have to lose.
They shouldn't have been so vocal about this. Now everyone knows they have a $100 million budget, and every rightsholder they approach is going to put his pinky to his lips and do his best Dr. Evil impression.
90 percent of the replies to this posting will be ignorant anti-Bush rhetoric regarding his plans to weaponize space
90% of the people who have uttered the phrase "anti-Bush rhetoric" are fat balding guys who think feminism is the reason they can't get laid.
Are you a fat balding undersexed Republican? How can you not be? Then why should I listen to anything you say?
I'll get -1 Troll for this, but I haven't "framed" this "debate" any less than you have. Then content of your post is nothing more than "All criticism of Bush is uninformed, emotional, and therefore, wrong."
Please don't add to the signal-to-noise ratio of the internet.
Got it. Up with noise! Down with signal!
You don't even need to read the headline or understand anything about this to criticize. Every right asserted by Bush to militarize space becomes available to Russia and China. This is either impotent posturing (remember when he said we were going to Mars?) or preparation for a conflict.
And on that note, ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE.
Some would argue that running an application in a browser is nonsense. We've had UI toolkits and scripting languages for over three decades, so why did we standardize on Javascript and HTML? It is clearly not the best solution, but it wins because the web browser is ubiquitous and stable.
Mobile devices present unique user interface challenges and usage scenarios that go far beyond what we can do sitting at a desk. Let's not pidgeon-hole ourselves in the AJAX ghetto before we've barely gotten started.
Are you a joke? High school is the most highly structured environment the typical person will experience outside the military. The ascendency of mediocrity over merit is a result of that structure. And like high school, MySpace rewards the mediocre, because it caters to their simple needs while driving successful people to the many better options available. I challenge you to find someone who matters who uses MySpace as their primary vehicle of expression.
MySpace - the Internet for people who won't be going to college.
It was a joke, because "Wing Nut Daily" is a joke, as it exists as entertainment for the people who believe there is such a thing as the "liberal party line".
Your political identity is a not a religion, it does not make you a minority, you should not expect it to be protected from ridicule. Since you read a pejorative into the word "conservative", what context makes this simple statement of fact offensive by the addition of "just wee bit"? Does it denote persecution, resentment, or just mere contempt for the inferior? How did you infer that Hemos's intention is to flame?
So, unless someone toes a liberal party line their opinion has no value?
So, unless someone believes in a world that isn't defined by cartoonish political theater, they lack the intelligence to understand a joke of wry understatement?
What the hell do you think about? Long distance running is the most mind-numbingly boring activity imaginable. Once you get past the conditioning and the masochistic endorphin high of doing something painfully hard, it becomes a tedious grind that takes hours out of your day. I would kill for a direct neural interface just so I could do something useful while running or hiking.
its potential of making human beings realize just how alike we are and how precious the Earth is for our species survival
Did you not see the end of that episode? We are supposed to become sophisticated in war, not bring about world peace. Do you care nothing for our planet!?
You call that bitter, yet you think salespeople deserve a medal because of sexual harassment? I mean, wtf?
The problem is that programmers aren't bitter enough. Salespeople understand the nature of the world, and they start with a predatory instinct. They know it is always about the money.
If you aren't making more than any of your salespeople, either accept that you just aren't that great a programmer, or do something about it. If you are making more than your top salespeople, expect to be out of a job soon, 'cause your company is tanking.
It's like sports stars - they make an insane amount because they have a perfect measure of performance. You can't rank programming ability so easily, or even measure it with all the variables due to the importance of experience with specific technology.

I was saving vacation days for this year!
God damn it, I'm so mad I could go outside.

Your incredibly myopic if you think that B2B sales is *anything* like B2C.
I'm starting to believe you know as much about sales as you do programming. That is, just enough to make a billboard for your ignorance.
I was more concerned with your safety, considering how powerful he is. But you're right, his e-peen must be epic.
Dude, are you crazy? Didn't you hear? That guy is hard core!
Ah, my pet troll, it is. It captures the personality, if a bit dramatically, and illustrates the hierarchy that exists in all things.
Oh noes, he knows about my donkey show pr0n!
I recommend Glengarry Glen Ross if you'd like to see something closer to the reality of sales.

When I use an application that demands a 32:9 aspect ratio, I will.
I've never seen a 22", but two Dell 24" are cheaper than the Apple 30" display.
What's more productive than a 30 inch screen? Two 20 inch screens that combined, cost half as much.

Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Farnsworth: Urrectum. Here, let me locate it for you.
I want you to go home and find every book you own that contains the word "hyperspace" and burn it.
Wait, let's not stop there. Do the same for "positronic", "scrith", "force field", and "telepathy".
You're either against Sony or you're with the terrorists.
Furries < Sony < Jack Thompson < RIAA < Microsoft
So, the point you're making is, Republicans are untrustworthy regardless of the situation?
The Internet has existed just fine without government interference.
The Internet would be America Online without government "interference".
