IIRC, mine was Time Warner, and it was just as bad! I don't think gmail existed yet. That's probably when I switched to yahoo, and it was better than TW.
Based on the response Microsoft got when Xbox One was announced as online-only, and considering that Xbox One is a lot more likely to exist in an always-connected environment than the thousands of different types of Windows machines, it would require extreme stupidity to try the same with Windows.
I've gotten the Microsoft help scam. My mom got the IRS scam. I also get a bunch of unknown calls (they call, I don't answer, they hang up without saying anything). Any or all of those might have been scams.

Yeah because Republicans never grease the wheels of their donors.....moron.....
You must be using a different BMI calculator. At 6' 1", it said my 180 pounds was normal. It does break down for people who actually exercise, as it doesn't tell the difference between 200 pounds of muscle and 200 pounds of flab.
Doing manual work was seriously looked down upon. But the plumber in our neighborhood had a huge boat with *two* inboard engines in it and a nice house.
And you can't outsource plumbing.

And it's not that much different from IT. Either way, you're dealing with other people's shit.
So instead of upgrading my only windows box (My pos is windows only) I'm on a hunt for a POS system that runs on Linux. In my shop it 2015 will be the YEAR OF LINUX.
Good luck with that. It's common knowledge that Windows owns the POS market.
I watch a lot of stuff on Netflix. There are several shows that are on TV and Netflix, and I watch those on Netflix. Netflix has 2 things going for it. It has quite a bit of content that I like. AND IT HAS NO ADS!!!
I tried the free Hulu, and even for free it wasn't worth it. If NF wants to raise prices and stay ad-free, fine, it's worth quite a bit more than I'm currently paying. If they want to do ads, that will totally ruin them at any price, even free.
I've had more clashes with my current boss (female) than with my 3 previous bosses (all male) combined, but she's also the best of the lot at cutting through the crap and getting things done.
But what counts even more is that the person is a good working fit with the senior programmer in general, and appears to be someone who can learn as they go (because no matter how good their C++ skills are, they're going to be DOING IT WRONG according to the senior programmer).
Very very true! I'm not a C++ guy, but everytime I got put on a different COBOL project, I had to adjust to a different way of doing it.
At college we used to say that only a fool would have win at the end of his autoexec.bat. The rest of us would run windows when we needed it, from the DOS prompt as God intended. I had a friend who ran OS/2 2.1 with a text-mode shell that multitasked MS-DOS apps, and that was far more useful at the time than Windows was, since all our apps were DOS apps back then.
IIRC, I got a machine in that era that had an autoexec.bat already set up. One of the first things I did was comment out the "win".
My state doesn't put the SSN on the driver's license, but it did for years. By now I'd guess every 2-bit hacker from here to Russia probably has it.:-P

The last time I used an ISP email, it surely didn't have a spam filter. Or, if it did, it filtered everything but the spam.
Nah, I'm still an ass under my real name.

I wouldn't worry much about that.
That doesn't mean they won't try it. :-P
Zinc really works. If I take it, I get over my cold in 7-14 days. If I don't, it takes a whole week or two.

But, do they use trans-fat?

And don't forget windmills, which everyone knows is the biggest mass murderer of birds.
And it's not just microorganisms. I'm reasonably sure Pekinese and French poodles weren't around a couple million years ago.

Unless they already have a preference for Google. Or if Bing is so bad it drives people away in droves.
Meh! The Europeans are wimps! They complain about the heat when the temp hits 30. We Americans don't gripe until it hits mid 80s.
But, even when the 2% win, they do the same thing as the old bosses. At least 98% of the time.

Okay, maybe the dinos shrank, but those droppings on my car look like they came from a damn brontosaurus!
Right, and all the business users out there with their Excel, etc.
Data entry on anything but a desktop is horrendous.
A laptop is fine for word processing and spreadsheets. But tablets & phones aren't even close, even for light usage there.

I'm a man, and I'm head of my household. Both of us are reasonably safe as long as we don't try to exercise our rights.
Would it crash /. ? :)

COBOL is a very readable language. That didn't stop people from writing code that could rival the worst Perl code as far as understanding it went.
I agree that writing Java is not much fun.
