technology stocks rise due to increased productivity during quarter 2 as all Geeks have remained onsite and working during the normal 'Comdex Exodus'. Once, the only semblance of a vacation these Techno-Junkies attained during their captivity in cube-farm America.
Perhaps when we get some really smart database file systems
my brain is my really smart database file systems...perhaps too many rely on technology to do their thinking for them...(or remembering for that matter)
is a big shot of 'get off your ass and do something productive while with the significant other!'
Or at least that's what my wife has been telling me for the past 2 years...and admittedly my mudding has dropped about 4hrs a day:(
and while everyone and their mother(literally) xp's and lvl's like crazy...I'm stuck with a honey-do list to keep me busy from the time I get home til "bed time" roughly 3hrs before I ever went to bed prior to marriage...
I even tried to tell her that I'm practicing my coding with my immort...bah...no luck there either...set her up a computer and said "look, we can play together..." no luck there...
Hooked up the GameCube with a variety of multi-player games...no luck there... reverted to the N64..with mario kart!!!.. AH HA!!! GOTCHA!...now she kicks my arse on a nightly basis;(
People like me browse at 4+ because we don't have all day to spend reading posts on slashdot or waiting for a page to become UN-/.'d before we read an article that/. link'd to...
reason #2: there isn't a reason #2...so on to why NOT to mod it up...
don't mod it up because karma whores suck (no pun intended)
Then again... Who goes to Opera any more =) it's not "THE" form of entertainment... instead we have IMAX theatres and MEGAPLEX theaters with 30+ screens and stadium seating with the lastest big screen audio format.. Not to mention the taxes paid for NFL/NBA/MLB stadiums...oh...the resources are still being spent on frivolous things... it's just NOT an opera house any more...
What's wrong with sweat-shops? Those people get hungry and need food as well... So what if by "American Standards" the pay isn't great...
My first job was for $1 hour shovel'n cement and sand in Arizona when I was 12...back in the 80's. (Talk about a sweat shop...) and I was GLAD for the money...
now imagine how those ppl feel who have families to feed and cloth...I'm pretty sure they are grateful for every cent.
damn cell phone beeped that I had a text message.. I think hrm...maybe my wife finally figured out how to use HER phone and send me a cute happy aniversary message..but no...alas it was merely some advertisement spam on how my 5'10" 170lbs body aught to call this 1-800 number to lose weight fast...
HumaneInterface.com is http://www.humaneinterface.com (the leading program/design firm)
Interesting how a company called 'HumanInterface' has a mere 4 links on their website with little to no information and the 'Contact' link is actually broken.
Not a company I'd do business with strictly on their lack of presentation via the web.
Many believe buying a better camera with greater megapixels etc will make them a better photographer. Sadly mistaken are they.
A great photographer can take an old Brownie and develop some GREAT photos... Anyone can point and shoot a digital camera...but it really takes someone with talent to get a GOOD image using one.
The greatness of a digital camera is you can snap those 500 shots to get the 3 good ones and not worry about film and developing costs...
Professional wedding photographers shoot 300+ pics per event and rarely get better than 25% that come out with any sort of quality, but people buy them just the same because of 'who' is in the picture.
Anyway just a rant on about people who think the latest and greatest will actually help their choice of shots, lighting, and perception become better...
This reminds me of authority figures in school(boarding school..mine was)...
Calls you into their office...
"So, tell me what you did yesterday." (of course you've done about 20 things that don't conform with their oppressive rules but aren't quite sure which one you might have gotten caught on)
so you meekly squeek out "I left campus without permission?"
"No, that's not it", says the dictator.
"Uhh...made out with Susie behind the gym?"
"No, not that either, but I appreciate your honesty", the oppressor chortles while waiting eagerly for you to tell him more of your incriminating facts.
"Hid Mrs. Jackson's bicycle in the bushes?", you ask since you are totally fubar'd now and beyond any sense of coherant thought as you have realized that you have signed your fate for approximately 20hrs of free labour and 5 days suspension.
The holier-than-thou adult looks at you and sensing your realization of defeat decides to grant a meager share of mercy and says, "You were late to Mr. Smith's Biology class, Why?"...
Devestated and relieved at the same time, you sigh the 'Oh thank heavens that's all it was' sigh of relief and smile brightly as you proceed to come up with some idiotic excuse for why you were 5 minutes late to class...hoping your honesty will provide you with some grace as Administrative Council meets to decide your fate in light of your forthcoming self-incrimination.
You get suspended, work for free, have to make up classwork, and lose recreational privledges...
Oh...this turned into a bit of a rant..oops! Real-life is much more interesting than fiction!
Spam has grown from a minor annoyance to a major threat to the stability of the Internet, experts say, and now makes up more than half of all e-mail traffic, according to several surveys.
JUST RELEASED: Another 3/8th of the spam is said to come from poorly managed exchange servers that have yet to be patched against the latest viral strain.
Boxey(isms)...star trek tng...that little punk kid engineer...star wars..oh! luke...
having a kid allows for development of the plot...the kid grows up learning every nook/cranny/method etc of how the BSG works...(I know I would have if I were stuck on a ship like that as a kid, instead I had acres and acres to roam around on)...anyway then he can learn his flying skills from the sexy blonde buff chick who smokes cigars and shags like a walrus(did she seem to have finess to you?)...
Yeah the kid will take over someday...just like GenX will take over from the boomers...will or have? Hrmm....
Slashdot Mirror
they have guns in the UK?
When I was there the police had a whistle and a baton...and just blew and battered...
Will the computers play more interesting chess than their human counterparts?"

Especially the educational games!
