The problem is his balls are terribly small. Steve is too scared of Microsoft and his own user base to release OSX for all computers. However, most Mac addicts would probby feel great about being ahead of the game if their precious OSX was released to everyone.
That's right.. I said Steve Jobs has small balls. Grow bigger balls, please.
I have hypothyroidism. What's the cure? I take a hormone for the rest of my life.. one that makes the drug companies money and forces me to be a life-long customer. It's like smoking - but more expensive.
Fuck the medical community.. Being treated the rest of your life and a cure are two completely seperate things.
During that time, I was in college. I upgraded my computer often - but I also built computers for other students for some extra cash. I bought maybe 30-40 Seagate hard drives during that interval.
So.. that's ~$150 (assuming around $100 per drive) that I should get back. But.. I have to show proof of purchase and fill out a claim form for every one of them! That's not even worth my fucking time! WTF kind of settlement is this?
The last 1% is easier to download (for most people with broadband) than to regenerate using CPU power. If the bitorrent was just constructed with a small amount of parity, certain parts would not be at such a 'premium.'
When the seeders leave, and you have people stuck at 99%, they're all in need of the same 1%. With parity (and a small amount of randomization), you would not have multiple people all needing the same 1%.
The old ones were dumb enough. When I got a chemistry set when I was small (something like 60 chemicals), I got bored of all the pre-drawn experiments and decided to experiment myself. I mixed pretty much every goddamn chemical together.. BLUE liquid! yay.. Then, I put some in a test tube and heated it.. and OMG.. it boiled!!! and then.. it smelled like crap! Yay chemistry.. It was like they formulated the entire set to be as unexplosive as possible.
Fucking nanny state...
I would've attacked the issue of terrorism the exact opposite. I'd tell everyone to grow some balls, carry a fucking gun, ask suspicious people questions, and be vigilant. And.. everyone can carry whatever the hell they want on a plane. I'd like to see a terrorist just try to hijack a plane when who knows how many people are armed...
I am so sick of getting stuck at 99% with 0 seeders and 99 leechers on all my illegal downloads.
So.. make 10% parity and then bitorrent can be even more resource intensive.. doesn't matter because we all have dual and quad cores now. So, just stick bitorrent on another core. Then, give bitorrent its own hard drive and you barely notice it running on your computer.:D
Maybe Generation Y just isn't interested in 'career' as defined by a bunch of asshole babyboomers that pay young people shit wages and demand high hours with zero compensation while keeping the best jobs and promotions available for themselves. Hell.. that could explain why Google doesn't seem to have a problem hiring while IBM has to suck an egg.
As part of the Y generation.. I work my ass off. I have a career.. and after my 8 hours, I come home and work to better myself. I analyze stocks, I study the latest trends, I take on new ideas and pursue them..
I am just not near as interested in conforming to the 70's and 80's way of business when the people running businesses now will be obsolete soon. Is my job my only career now? NO.
I have Brighthouse (Manatee County, FL). I wanted to buy the $300 Tivo. So.. I found out it needs 2 cablecards.
Right now, I pay $10/month for a piece of shit Scientific Atlanta DVR. I've had to get it replaced twice (waiting in long-ass lines at the cable company.) The set top box barely works.
So.. I asked about buying Cablecards. They told me I cannot buy them. Also, they told me each one costs $395/month to lease. Though, later, I found out it was $3.95/month to lease. I was also told that it takes a long time to get them and they must come and install it in my box. (I can't just go in and pick up two cablecards and slide them in my Tivo.)
Right now: $10/month.. For Tivo: $300 one time, + $12.95 tivo service, + 2 * 3.95 cablecards = $20.85/month
Is it worth it? Maybe..
But for now, I'll stick to trying to rely on my piece-of-shit Scientific Atlanta box and downloading everything it misses off the Internet.
All of todays' software sucks. Seriously. It is complete and utter shit.
Think you found new software that doesn't suck? I can defintely tell you why it does suck.
Microsoft has created an industry standard of devolutionary suckage where each further product must exceed the suckage of the previous product in order to be Microsoft's version of innovative which is the antithesis of 'innovative.'
For example.. Java originally was not bad software - despite its numerous shortcomings. It did not 'phone home' or pop up every day with new updates available, a change to EULA, or 'I need to use 100% CPU because I feel like it requests until Microsoft set the standard to a new low with Windows Update.
okay.. so ya take a right at ol' Goog's, then, veer left and avoid goats.ex, take a pitt stop at fark.com - but don't chat with the locals unless ya' wanna get made fun of, drive straight past slashdot, it's just a tourist trap take a right at myspace.com.. and be sure to leave them alone. they don't tolerate much and there ya are.. PORN!
"Hey look at me! I'm the company that can do no wrong. FUCK YOU CONSUMERS AND EAT MY SHIT!! I'm fucking Apple. How do you like them apples. I'm apple, you little piece of crap! Buy my make-up case candy computer and buy my pod and music. You don't get to do anything with it, because I'm fucking Apple, bitch. You're an idiot.. Go buy an Iphone now and you're gonna get AT&T because I make the decisions around here! It's my money; not yours. Are you licking my balls yet?!"

Even if there are other ways, what is wrong with using an anonymous blog?
Suppose there is a corporate compliance officer and he/she is incompetent or somehow ignorant of the ongoing problems. Suppose the whistleblower has attempted to notify the corporate compliance officer and the auditor has done nothing. Now what does he or she do?
In every line of work, there are ways and means in place to fix illegal or dangerous activity - and in every line of work, these ways and means have failed at one point or another.. Internal investigation for the police, for example.
And, you even said that hospitals are not mandated to have corporate compliance plans.
Just following orders? That worked perfect for the Nazis.
I had a friend that left a lucrative commercial real estate career because he felt the tactics his company used were morally wrong. He makes 1/3 as much as an airline pilot now.
I chose to be an industrial programmer partly because everything I know about my business is honest. We bill for hours we work; we do not bill for hours we do not use. It's honest and fair..
You cannot always blame only the people giving the orders..
Before everyone and their mother found out about the Internet, Ebay was soo awesome.. You could buy pot, a gun, and a kidney.. And you could give feedback to whoever you wanted whether or not they even made a sale with you.. You had maybe a 50% chance of actually getting what you paid for.. but then again, you had about 50% chance of actually attempting to pay them.
The Internet used to be a frontier, man.. Now I gotta grow my pot.
All I want is a small piece of software that lets me copy like explorer.. but quickly, more reliably (skip errors, resume, etc.) and it lets me schedule when to make backups.. A bonus would be able to see how fast things are copying..
If they had their way, they'd make it their right to take our money no matter what they did. So, I consider it my right to do whatever I want with it despite whether or not I pay for it. They want the extreme; I'll present the opposite end of that extreme.
Since when is SecureROM not malware? Just because some company says their total and utter shit piece of software isn't malware, it does not mean it's not malware.
IMO, anything that is installed on my computer that is not part of what I am intending to install is malware.

I do not understand, but I believe it was profound. Where shall I invest large sums of money?
Wrong. Bullshit.
