I always took this for granted until I took a close look at the most active bread basket areas along with the 2012/2008 election results. The strong bread basket area actually went blue. Blue counties would be fine for food anyhow. Plus they would have California so they would have the good food not just bread.;)
And it is awful. All remote desktop access to unix/Mac is awful. X, Vnc, no-machine. Windows excels at this which is funny because they started out not having this functionality at all and unix folks would make fun of them for lacking it. Now it is the unix variants that largely lack a usable technology in this space. Of course it is rarely needed as unix servers excel at being administrated via shell and windows sucks at that.
Rdp over ssh works well and is many times faster than X or VNC.
A tablet doesn't do content creation but it does account for nearly 80% of my non work related Internet activity now (the other 20% would be my smartphone). I find that in most cases it is a better experience than a pc.
So in the future I could definitely see a tablet/phone hooking up to an external monitor and becoming your PC but we aren't there yet.
In the case of windows you double click on the MSI/EXE and go through the installer.
On linux you type apt-get install uh hrmm I forgot the syntax. Or maybe it is yum something or other. Oh wait there is this distribution specific marketplace app that occasionally works.
I would think Reddit is much, much larger than Slashdot. Alexia (no idea if this is accurate) has Reddit at 115 and Slashdot at 1,701. I may have misunderstood your post and weren't comparing site size.
Healthcare in the US is already socialized due to the fact that we do not refuse emergency medical services to the uninsured. Are you advocating that we no longer provide emergency medical services to the uninsured?
We already pay nearly twice what any other industrialized nation pays for health care with lower % of people covered and worse outcomes in just about every category. And yes I am familiar with all the arguments for why we have worse outcomes in the US.
Not knowing the term is arguably forgivable but not knowing anything about that problem domain is not. If the job was writing database apps and you were not able to describe the issue and discuss strategies in which you dealt with the issue on past projects I would not hire you.
On the majority of the sytems I have worked on the layer dealing with this issue ends up being a large portion of the line count of the app.
On my previous contract the app (I did not write it) was 1 million lines of code of which 850,000 was tied up in the "orm" layer. This was due to the client picking a relatively popular orm generator library (nettiers).
So being ignorant of this problem domain can be quite a problem.
I do not remember this when XP rolled out. I and many people I know were excited for it's release.... NT stability with the ability to play games. I have never had issue with XP and run it on all but one of my desktops.
I recently was given a really nice new computer at work and it runs Vista. I was pretty neutral on the whole Vista thing before I got the computer. I had heard all the negative press but really didn't pay much attention to it.
After using vista for a month I must say I hate it. Everything is slower than XP and less stable. The GUI while having good points (looks great) usability is horrible. To build a few of our projects require us to build under XP (they use TAPI) because they won't build under Vista so I did some comparisons the other day and believe it or not XP, under a VM is faster at most things than the host Vista OS. Copying files, program launches, etc. How in the hell did the accomplish that?!?!?!
I am not a Microsoft hater at all... hell I even liked and ran ME! This is, in my opinion, the worst OS they have ever put out.
You are a moron, the only people who don't consider a Wii a next gen console are XBox360/PS3 fanboys who can't imagine why their consoles, with HD graphics, are on track to lose this generation.
I live in an affluent metro area and my monopoly based service (AT&T) sucks compared to the service my parents get via a local coop phone/internet/cable provider.
I was working for a startup in 2002... we had to cut costs anywhere we could so we dumped Oracle licensing. Me and another guy were able to convert the entire website and all our internal applications over the course of a day.
We were using EJBs without stored procedures and the only reason it took as long as it did was because some of the more exotic queries we were using at the time.
What are you talking about, precision aiming is where the WiiMote absolutely shines. I suspect you don't have something set up correcty. Oddly enough the "FPS" mini game in monkey ball features the best FPS control setup I have ever played (on a console). Red Steel, no so much.
Actually... there isn't a single rental store within 5 miles of my home that even caries VHS anymore. I am not sure where I could even find a VHS for purchase.

I have been doing this a long time. Very, very few companies care about degrees once you have a certain amount of experience.

I hope not. The gaming experience on a IOS (Or I presume android) device is pretty abysmal for most game types (does really well for others though).

Lets say it has been gone for exactly 33 years from it's point of view. 33.00000005947923 years has passed from our point of view.

Well, actually the intent of the registry was for crap like that, only recently has Microsoft backed off of that stance a bit (.net in particular).

They live in a very rural area.
What is the phone number/address of this best buy in question?
So you wouldn't use a cable modem, cell phone, DSL, or well basically anything?
100k a year isn't that difficult to find in Kansas.
The Wii is being sold at a tidy profit.

It is not a rumor, Madden already does this. Switch your weather type to Sys:(something or other).
It features surround sound, Dolby Prologic II 5.1.

At the two locations my wife tried this morning, the employees had reserved all the copies. Nice.

I have an alpine tuner in my car and sony in the basement. Perhaps they suck. *shrug*
