Which have been doing this for 30 some years. Now it is just easier. But, hey, this is the brave new world where we need to make up new words to make what people used to do seem new and neat.
1- Set it to classic mode 2- Go around and click on a bunch of folders to make them do what they used to do 3- Spend a lot of time doing the equivalent of root so you don't see the UAC 4- Blame him for something going wrong that you don't know about
It seems like you do like Vista, but this guy seems like he doesn't want to have to screw around with stuff to make it work like XP, 2000, whatever. This sounds like an anti-Mac reply- people complain how a Mac has extra steps to make it work like they used, so it's too hard to try, but just do these extra steps with Vista and it's great.
When I first read the headline, I thought IBM -(minus) 700,000, SCO -(minus)300. The thought that SCO was winning (albeit in a less negative way) was spooky. My next thought was who was moderating the trial! I gotta read less/.
"Hell I settle for anyone who can knows the difference between a steel drill bit and a stone one. (And no, that doesn't mean one is made out of stone, rather what it is for drilling into)."
From what you described, my first thought was that the kids were trying to use bits that were made of stone. And I wasn't really even shocked. Here (USA), I witnessed some college kids try to jump their car batteries with lamp wire (zip wire). What a shocker when the damn thing melted! When I was in high school I had to take metal shop, plastics shop, electronics (still have that strobe light I made). Well, I could have taken home-ec (cooking, sewing, etc). I've heard that my old school now has all kinds of BS classes you can take like "Holistic Meditations on Donkey Healing" or something equally stupid.
Education is really getting pretty sad, on all levels, really.
I have a BS in EE and am going back for an MS IS. There is a "core curriculum" that all MS IS people have to take, and then it breaks up into 4 different specialties (Management, CS, Legal, and InfoSec (my focus)). Unless you have a CS degree you basically have to take the Intro to Prog class- Java or C++. I know this is anecdotal, but the same guy teaches both classes, and he put heavy focus on OO concepts rather than "how-to Java". And as some of the poster's have said, there was some emphasis on documentation, but it was more on the comments rather than the Word doc. And if the program didn't work correctly, forget 'bout it.
"They already do 6 hours of work in school... can't give them more work... blah blah"
How about we wipe their tushies and tell them they won't have to work hard to make something of themselves? Howabout just have them skip college (whole lotta more school work plus paying work)? Just tell them that a real work day is only about 6 hours, and you never have to take some work home with you, or stay late to finish that work so you don't have to take it home?
Why does it seem that the USA is progressively skimping on education? Is it any wonder that India and Japan (I am sure there are others) are surpassing us in general academic, and therefore work, achievement?
And yes, I graduated high school, got a BSEE, have worked in industry for 5 years, am going for a masters, and I did skim the TFA.
This looks to be based soley on music, but is there a chance that other types of streaming, such as sports radio, may also be affected? I don't care too much about music (I don't care much for today's offerings), but I like to listen to my hometown sports station (610 WIP out of Philly) when I travel.
Ah, what the heck? Have you gone to college? Do you know how hard it can be to get credits transfered, if you can even get accepted at another school? What if this is a really good school for this kid? This isn't changing from yahoo mail to gmail. This may be the most incredibly stupid suggestion I have ever heard here. Change your university because of email? Sure the IT staff may be incompetent or even getting kickbacks, but to go to such drastic measures as leaving your school is pretty much... stupid.
Not to be mean, and I know this is the core of/., but how about not focusing on getting a degree in CS? Engineering is fun (I'm an EE, and working on my masters on infosec). Again, not to disparage, but I never heard on an engineer called the equivalent of "code monkey". My two best friends are chemical engineers. My wife is a bank manager. A close friend from college married a PhD in biochemistry. Heck, my dad has a PhD in nuclear physics, and my mom was a doctor. I know this is a geek (and mostly a site for those whom like to code) site, but there are a whole lot of other things you can do if you want.
Personally, I hate coding, but I can do it. If your job is so tenuous that it's getting shipped overseas, why not try something else?

Ah, hasn't the British pound been usually around $2 per pound for a while, such as decades? Right now it is $1.96 to the pound. So 75lbs x2 = $150. True the Euro has gone up to about $1.50 per Euro, but your English pound example is a bit trivial, dumb, exaggerating, whatever.
I've been in IT for a bunch of years, but until I started taking my masters, and specifically my class in InfoSec, I never really thought about physical security. Now for my final paper in the sec class I interviewed a guy who did physical security for a company for years, and he had some nifty stories.

Natalie Portman (w/ or w/o grits), Samantha Mathis, Ione Skye, Maura Tierny, Moira Kelly, Pauly Perrette.
Thanks!
Ok, to make Vista work ok...
1- Set it to classic mode
2- Go around and click on a bunch of folders to make them do what they used to do
3- Spend a lot of time doing the equivalent of root so you don't see the UAC
4- Blame him for something going wrong that you don't know about

Just an interesting (to me) observation.

Gmail- do you have any complaints about it besides being beta?
Search model- can you give an example of someone who does it better?
No flaming, just wondering. (I don't use Gmail but I usually use Google as my first search stop)

Just thought I'd put out a positive story.
Less expenses for coffee, Jolt, and pizza!
Ha ha! I did! Wow did my grades drop for that month.....

Not quite- it is removed, ie. expunged, so there is no record left. Except for federal agencies which never seem to comply with an expungement order.
This vehicle can go down deep and stay there for up to a year? Has this vehicle been tested for a year?

Physical security-
I've been in IT for a bunch of years, but until I started taking my masters, and specifically my class in InfoSec, I never really thought about physical security. Now for my final paper in the sec class I interviewed a guy who did physical security for a company for years, and he had some nifty stories.
"...640mb RAM...."
I find it awe inspiring that you can run a Mac on 640 millibits of RAM! Even Bill Gates said 640 kilobytes of RAM would be enough.
Viva la Mac! Viva la Mac! ("Golden Child" reference)
You know I'm just nitpicking for fun- but I got to fit Bill Gates and Eddie Murphy into the same comment!
Brain: "Pinky, tonight we will take over the world!"
That sounds like a good one!
Thank you.
