It is so much more than that. Like the author, I too learned my Civil Engineering chops with Sim City. I learned to drive with Need for Speed; and Rockstar taught me to play the guitar. If only the games were a little better, I would be able to get a job and a drivers license. Until then, I am learning the plumbing trade from the Mario Bros.
wow, way to grab the wrong end of the stick and start beating around the bush with it. Good OSes don't need virtualization - it is a crap solution to work around even crappier OSes (windows, I should add since I'm sure discerning subtlety isn't your strong point).
The summary says "this is a serious...", which always strikes me as odd. Despite the ubiquity of laugh tracks, jokes shouldn't need an introduction; if you don't get it, you probably don't know you don't get it. In the absence of something absolutely ridiculous, phrases like ' this is serious ', stand out as an indicator of ' this is quite stupid '.
Imposing the word 'work' has a similar implication. The telephony system didn't need to superimpose 'work' into its terminology to assert that telephones actually worked; nor did television. Not unsurprisingly, netWORKs did.
To determine that by no reasonable standard could Verizon's customer service be considered reasonable? Nice that they were stupid enough to pursue it to court - now their competitors can use the decision in their ads....
There are a variety of anti-psychotic pharmaceuticals that can help straighten you on your keel. Talk to your doctor about Cannabidiol today.
* side effects may included drowsiness, hunger, giggling, Pink Floyd, intense focus, preoccupation with Bruce Lee, socialist leanings, belief in conspiracy theories, and enjoyment of life. If you experience any of these side effects, Cannabidiol may be just the thing for you.
But what happens when you have a glut of pyramids that you built by soaking up excess labour? The nice thing about war toys is you get to blow them all up, and everybody cheers. Well, maybe not everybody.
If, instead, we used the weapons to attack the military industry itself, then we don't have to employ those people. That is a win-win.
Why wouldn't they stockpile biological agents if the US increases its nuclear stockpile? Isn't this one-upmanship (really more like chickenshit) the engine of any arms race?
I wish the rest of the world would just give the US the assets it wants, and we could stop all this foolishness.
There is a documentary on Chinese business practices called "Return of the Dragon". After a hostile takeover bid fails, Tang Lung goes on a killing spree. Its part of the culture, and you can't defend yourself from it.
If you heard Anne Coulter or one of her ken say this, you wouldn't give it moments thought. Schultz is hitching on the crazy train, perhaps hoping for a job at Fox.
4 out of 5 dentists would recommend Crest - even if it were true, it isn't really in your dentists best interests to lessen your dental bills. But it also isn't true because it lacks any sort of rigour whatsoever. By avoid hard statements of fact, which Schultz does with the flair of a security software salesperson, he neatly gets to create any outrageous scenario he can imagine.
Chuckle, move on, and wait for him to appear as Rush's economic expert soon.
The Bricklin was innovative not just in automotive design, but in financing too. Bricklin were selling vehicles at less than 1/3 the cost of production, soaking up government backing to create the impression of success. This was 30 years before Goldman et al. caught fire with their version of kite-based economics.
The beauty of slashdot is its simpletons; and they evoke simpler times in a way that no technology can. Its like taking a 5 minute mental holiday to be a Libertarian.
It will be Bruce Lee's grandson, in orbit with feet and nunchuks flying as he fights the evil criminals in zero gravity. Pufff. This is going to be awesome!
To place your judgement above those that don't meet your standards and motivations shows that you are very much in need of further education yourself. The educated segment of society has never shown better judgement or impulse control than any other segment.
It is a charming side effect of standardized testing to shepherd the vacuous and immature back into an incubator; giving decent society a few more years without them.
I've decided that alcohol is no longer a positive influence on my life, and am no longer going to drink continuously. To prepare for this, I am planning to stock a small cellar with wine, beer and some specialty liquor. I'll still be drinking at work, and can frequent bars and taverns. My question is thus: does anybody have any experience living without a steady stream of alcohol? What major nuisances did you encounter? What and how much should I put in my cellar? Is there anything I'm overlooking?
Amazing, isn't it. Can you imagine how embarrassing it would have been if they paid for a comprehensive study and it showed the opposite? It would be, like, so I guess we don't have much of a future in this line of business.....
That is one of the efficiencies of business - they knew the risk of a study giving the wrong result; so they saved money on studying the issue and went with a simple marketing campaign.
I live in Ottawa, and watched the "build out" of Nortel,JDS, Cisco and the like in the early naughties. All that was missing a few years later was tumbleweeds - I wanted to import some and spread them around for kicks.
It was a huge opportunity missed; all the local ne'er do wells in the city council were wringing their hands over what to do about the "homeless problem", and none had the gumption to shack them up in the empty HiTech campi dotting the suburbs.
Eventually they were turned over to all variety of paper pushers and federal cops; I would have been happier to have the homeless there. Better for the neighbourhood.

More like BFI.

but did you ever figure out why virtualization is a bad hack to prop up crappy software?
You must be a very important person to be so busy.
and when they shoot you (literally) will you "not be murdered; just part of the revolution"?
You could at least suggest they eat brioche, as the myth goes....
If this is the best you can do? Do you count yourself as "People who DOESN'T want to work" or "People who IS UNEMPLOYABLE"?
Retarded and bigoted is no way to go through life.

Too bad they didn't port the FreeBSD audio. It actually works.

If monkeys can be CEOs, why can't they hold copyrights?
I'm certain the first one was infringing on that MS exec's copyright though...

Yes, and for most of its history, uninhabited by humans; perhaps due to the climate.
