Dude just kayak for the sake of kayaking. Man leave it to use computer nerds (I mean I.T. professionals) to F up the most relaxing and enjoyable things. I say just go paddle on the lake and thank god that the cellphone is in the car and not on your hip. What next "war skydiving" or "war book reading"
Its going to be hard for you to complain about the neighbor asking you for computer help during the superbowl if you have a history of messing up your leisure time:)
Ok how come the toaster manufacturers and automobile manufacturers don't seem to have this supply and demand problem? I chose these two because one seems pretty simple to make and the other exponentially more difficult and yet I can buy either without having to worry about significant increases in pricing each week. I just don't get it. Then again I didn't read the article either
I have never understood re-releasing something. Are us as consumers so stupid that half an ounce of added value (some crappy interview added to the DVD) is enough for us to run out and pay money for something that last week we could..... pay money and buy?
Well at least this time its Monty Python and not season one of Designing Women or something worse if there is!!
Actually your confused. The reason why we have big pipes heading into the schools is because that motorcycle mowing over governor we had. Janklow had a huge technology initiative. He wanted to be the most wired state and use it to bring a video conferencing network to each school so that poor schools could still offer french and such but simply do it over videoconferencing. I worked on some of this stuff and that is the only reason why those schools are as wired as they are. I am no fan of Janklow but it happened during his administration.
Now in reference to your farmer having access lots of companies have sprang up to provide high speed out to the rural areas because it was an untapped market that they could profit at by using primarily wireless. Those companies may be getting kickbacks for bringing technology to rural areas, I am not sure about that.
Guys, this is called marketing. When your at the level these companies are you need to project a sense that the next big product or wave of popular crap is right around the corner and that your company will be the one to deliver. You see this increasing due to the fact that the tech boom has slowed compared to the crazy 90's. (well unless you live in bombay or is it mumbai, anyway). These figureheads are loyal to the stockholders and the stockholders only so don't think they are trying to find the name for the next big revolution in computing but rather the next piece of junk hardware/software with no real innovation that they can, as they would say "leverage the corporations inherent position in the growing field of _______ fill in the blanks" its all crap. Remember as Tyler Durden so eloquently put it "We are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.":)
This is like the fourth story of some technology that japan has adopted widescale before us. In every case I think its due to the population density and not their innovation. If all of the u.s. lived within the borders of Rhode Island I am sure we would all have broadband and VOIP. I realize that u.s. companies prevent lots of technology but I think its location location location that is the real driving force. Try rolling out broadband in South Dakota where the states are huge and the populations aren't. See how much money you will make.
Agreed but maybe if we had less radical action groups like peta and the nra and more normal action groups that actually got support we would be able to have some legislation head our way. We have to stop electing these career politicans and big business people and get some changes made. I am scared for america we are a product of our own poor school system and crappy family structure. We are a product of our own apathy
I would like to comment on your comment about needing comments.:) Whats the harm in discussing this issue. Maybe it is just a catalyst to a larger discussion on product agreements. Company responsibility or maybe just maybe you have been involved with the legal fight to get a refund and finally the fruits of your labor are paying off but by all means if this particular article doesn't mean much in your life then by all means lets not discuss it for there are precious few bits left on the internet and we shall not waste them with discussion on a discussion site?
How come you have to class action these companies to be responsible. Isn't there laws that say they need to deliver on their product claims. I am about ready for some tougher legislation I pretty much feel powerless as a consumer and I doubt I am alone. Although this particular mac issue doesn't affect me.
We won't recycle unless 1. Its very profitable 2. We are having such a land issue that it mandates recycling. 3. Its legislated
This should be clear by some of the eastern states railroading their garbage out west. Don't get me wrong I love the idea of recycling and should be doing more of it myself but just don't think I will see a big push for it till one of those things happens
How come this always gets brought up on slashdot? How is junking old phones any different then any other waste? Are there uranium pay phones out there? Admit it the u.s. wastes tons pay phone is a tiny tiny part of a very larger picture
I don't get this, everyone that thinks they know about computers then say windows takes weeks to secure. For the average desktop it takes like five minutes download zonealarm and config it and boom your safe unless someone kicks your front door in you retards
Especially us in the tech sector where your job can be made obsolete so fast. Everyone in every job has the possibility to get replaced or have the market shift. Lets stop protecting people like this in a free market geesh
Bring on the tiered pricing so I can put a cost of bandwidth next to the amount of spam and finally convince someone its costing me time and money and bandwidth. Then make it illegal
Does anyone else think that email sounded like an advertisment rather than a warning???? Wonder if AT&T's marketing department has a card carrying hacker on staff that wrote that.

Any chance this could render some of the more idiotic patents worthless.
Case in point
Microsoft and their double click of death
and
The guy who patented swinging in a swing?
ITS ABOUT TIME THIS WAS REVIEWED

How social can it be I have read this in eight different online news sources already!!

He has some interesting common sense solutions to today's problems I wish companies thought like he did
Especially us in the tech sector where your job can be made obsolete so fast. Everyone in every job has the possibility to get replaced or have the market shift. Lets stop protecting people like this in a free market geesh
