It's scale. If you print one (like with software) the cost is 100% of the project. If you print (and sell) 100,000 it drops significantly. So where's the margin? The problem is they charge the same amount for the PDF version. I guess it's not to canabalize sales of the paper versions but $50 for a pdf is stupid.
Jesus, this just makes me sad to be an Oklahoman. Why can't people hire someone qualified to work on their systems? Seriously, IT people that could work on Tuttle's systems aren't expensive. Govt project, what can one expect?
Boomer Sooner! FYI there are some pretty damn hot women in Tuttle though. Ada has to be one of the best outside of Norman. Mmmm....;)
That's what my company does. We support Firefox. If you're having a problem and it's IE related or Safari or Whateverbrowseryouwant, we try to help but if the functionality is not as good we don't worry. Granted our site is designed for speed and not beauty so we have few if any problems.
Eventually we'll reimplement and my goal is for us to have a good looking and fast site! I'll be long since retired from programming before that happens...
OS X is the only OS I"ve ever installed that subsequent versions speed up my older computers. Amazing... I'm waiting for an Apple Intel Tower and I'll retire my G4 Tower.
Damn ADC interface.. what am i to do with this big ass cinema display?!?!!?
Actually when it comes to elections they do have a choice. This seems on the surface to me to be a good decision by the election commission and I hope we get more intelligent but applicable decisions from our government in the future.
Lol I have the exact opposite problem. There is someone with my exact same name (my name is bizzare and pretty rare, so there are only 3 with it in the country, me, my dad, and some random guy). He writes significantly better than I do, so I'm finding posts under my name I know I didn't write. Either that or I have multiple personality. Whichever the case he makes me look better!
How so? What does a private company owe someone who simply wants to be ranked high?
If they want to be shown they should pay for advertising. My lastname.com is on page 3 if I search for mylastname. So should I sue google? Maybe I should "advertise" since that is how they exist.
I hate bullshit like this, if you base your business model on a high google ranking you should do what others are to maintain it. Salma Hayek pics are hard to find since those site purveyors have the first 1000 links or so going to some scam *nude stars* sites. lol... maybe that is what i wanted after all;)
What was the movie where the computer got AI and fell in love with the girlfriend of the guy in the apartment? Lol, i cannot remmeber that one at all...
I'm not a RadioShack fan by any means but a company that has EPS of 1.78 and a P/E of 10.76, isn't that bad. Their market cap is over 2.5 Billion. Not bad in my opinion. The management fiascos of late are a problem but they will be repaired. I thought RadioShack would die in the 1980's, they are still here.
Before saying a company is on it's "last legs" maybe you should do some actual research?
Common knowledge? That our system is so corrupt that people who do take the time to vote don't matter? I don't care about which side, if any, a person is on. Failing to secure voting and ensuring fair and free elections is the basis for our whole country. Granted it's turned into a joke. However, I doubt most people *know* the election was fraudulent.
I have to agree with the article questioning the validity of the study.
In the end studies are only worth something if they can be verified and are accurate with a sample that has as few biases (sp?) as possible. I use linux, os x, windows, solaris,... in my businesses. Best tool for the job is my attitude. I happen to like them all!
How the heck do people figure this stuff out!! Man, if they'd devote this kind of effort to creating legitimate software, imagine the possiblities! The best programmers in the world in my opinion are code crackers... If I had their talent I'd be loaded!!! lol...
I'm 32 but most the students assume i'm 24~27 (i looked 12 when I was first in college). As long as I shave daily i'm okay. They get confused when I grow a goatee in 1 day.
That is awesome!!! I'm totally going to start using that in my everyday life! My friends already think i'm nuts (probably the oldest guy taking classes at OU) so this will only add to my bizzare behavior. I'm a programmer aren't we supposed to be strange???
Whatever dude, use your own *sarcasm* tags. I'm tired of people always blaming the sender. To be offened you have to choose to be offended, irritated, upset, whatever the hell the receivers problem is. Quit trying to lay your mental instability on me!
(Note: This is my attempt at humor, if you don't like it you can KMA!)
So by your logic all auto's should be banned in new york since they can cause lung cancer via air pollution.
There is not a right answer. Mind you I think if weed is illegal cigarettes and alcohol should definately be as well. Never had problems with a bunch of stoner dudes. Smoking alcoholics are a burden on society.

so lycos, excite, about, askjeeves, msn, yahoo, webcrawler/aol, alta vista, ... are all being sued as well?
Anyone can put google out of business just like they killed all the afore mentioned search engines for the most part.
Freedom doesn't sound free by your interpretation. I'm not anti-regulation but within reason.

with the msdn universal you get 10 licenses for VS.Net, not to mention all the other MS products as well...
MSDN is an excellent way to go.

I was so lucky to get it!!! In today's dollars that is like buying your kid a $12,500 computer! Good thing my parents were loaded!

ROTFL!!! That has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while. for some reason grandfather popped in my head too...
Thanks for the laugh.
He already had the real business plan. He just made the presentation better.
