I was shocked to hear the bootup sequence results being SPOKEN out of the onboard sound card!
Great! Now the people who brought you those great, well-written taiwanese user's manuals can now deliver the results of your POST spoken in the same wonderful style!
"All you're ram are ok... Good Job!"
"Interpreter Of Command missing! Bad!"
...of course, if all this is accompanied by an mpeg of a hot naked asian chick, maybe it's not so bad.
It like Sunkist selling thier oranges saying: Our oranges are orange and juicy... apples aren't. Our oranges are great for making orange juice... apples are not. Our oranges taste like oranges... apples do not.
You're a fucking genius! You have an MBA don't you?! That is truly the work of a brilliant marketing mind. Maybe you should consider opening your own marketing firm. You'll make millions... at least until someone opens a business school in Bangalore.
The BSA is reviewing license compliance at businesses in my town. Maybe I could ask them for you. They have an 800 number. I'm sure they'd be willing to help you sort this out.
Fucking spooky when you hear a guy quietly clicking away with his one-handed keyboard-thingie while staring straight ahead. It was like he had no awareness of my presence or any other people around him.
The borg don't consider you a threat if you ignore them. Had you attacked him, we would have noticed!
A friend of mine used to be a contractor for Navistar at their engine block casting plant. One of the computers on the factory floor was so close to a stream of molten metal that he had a hard time sitting at the computer. He could take only so much heat. It would also pop and shoot sparks at him. He had a large set of shirts that were already ruined that he wore to work. They had little holes burned in them from hot things.
Similarly, I worked for a computer rental company in central florida years ago. We had an original IBM PC at a phosphorous surface strip-mining facility. The parking lot had showers for your car that you had to go through when you left. The black bezels on the front of the case were bleached to a nice light off-white grey by chemicals floating in the air.
Return the thing unreviewed then, siting 'technical difficulties'.
This is actually a good point, since many CD reviewers like to play CDs in their reference systems to judge things like production quality. I'm sure that glued shut Koss cd player sounds just as good as those $500 headphones.:-)
I can't help getting irritated with the ignorant American assumption that what works for them in their particular location will work for everyone everwhere.
It irritates me also, and I'm american. It's the fault of the public school system mixed with the culture. You'd be lucky to find an american on the street who even knows where denmark is.
My present client simply blocks all web based mail sites at the firewall. So I just send whatever I want through their corporate email system. Even mail relating to my other clients or negotiations for other contracts. If I really need security, I'll use encryption or simply give them a call. If they don't like what they'r reading or how I'm using their email system, they can either provide me with access to my yahoo email account or bite me.
It's just like my house. Anyone can look through my windows. But I can't be responsible if they're horrified by what they see.:-)
Next Sunday, sit across the street from a church parking lot for your answer. Some people will believe anything
You mean like there is no God? Stay tuned, things are going to get very interesting in your lifetime.
Instead of jumping to conclusions about what christianity is, why not actually read the Bible and then decide for yourself? Pick a vice or bad character trait and I'll find you a christian that has it. It's a good thing that's not the standard by which christians are measured.

One final thought: Which would you prefer, "Half my office are foreigners on H1Bs rather than Americans" or "My office shut down and moved to India because we couldn't compete without a few H1Bs"?
Gee that's a tough one... Do these H1s use deodorant?
Slashdot Mirror
maybe microsoft will file a suit that says "we want damages because linux makes our business model un-profitable.
Why not? Isn't this what the RIAA did to Napster?
Did the fly die before or after beind slashdotted?
or was it slash-swatted?

How many licenses will you need?

If you can eliminate just 20 factory workers making $20k each in the United States, that's a yearly saving of $400k-$500k
Naa, the Indians will still do it for less.
Trying to beat everyone to the Infinite Improbablility Printer?
What you want is a name with ten syllables, like Pajamaramalamadingdongkadarian
:-D
Except one from Armenia.
Man, if you could get a degree at one of the Indian Institutes, you wouldn't have any trouble getting a job here.
Yeah, they're funded by microsoft!
Anyone else notice how the ethernet slide has a picture of an rj-11?
but that's about as far as it will go...
Yep. And 640k should be enough for anyone.
And really, that's not the time for 2 heads, the time for having multiple people looking at a problem is in the design phase - not the implementation.
This is my main argument against XP and why I refuse to submit to pair programming. It prevents me from being "in the zone".

And Spiderman would code in Forth because...
... he hates web development?
I hope slashdot.org isn't moving onto the same server as anti-slashdot.org! They'll annihilate each other!
