The subsidized loan for a computer is something offered by the federal financial aid people. I know this because I was offered it at all three universities I have attended (problems with faculty at one, another didn't have the program I wanted, and eventually graduated with a degree that wasn't exactly what I wanted from the third).
When I went to school not too long ago it only subsidized like $500 if that when the lowest end PC you could find was about $700.
Maybe because he's concerned with long term results and those you can't get in 10 seconds. I know in the time I've used Google it's been pretty straightforward giving me good links. But a 10 second search could give me the one search that sucks ass on that engine.
The benefit of XP is that it runs on commodity hardware from a large range of manufacturers. Now this may not be a benefit to everyone since that can sometimes cause issues. But it's a benefit for me.
Also, like many shareware programs and even freeware you can pay the artist (programmer) for a "hard copy" on CD or DVD directly. For lesser known or just lesser paid artists you might get a burned disc with their logo on it. Better known ones will possibly have the infrastructure to give you pressed copies. I have personally bought burned CDs from indie artists that I liked listening to, even when I knew the artist personally and could have just copied it from them. Even though some of the newer, less well known developers in each category quite naive and willing to shoot themselves in the foot in regards to paid distribution, I will still pay if I have the money, and if I like the product.
Thank God! I'm not completel insane. I thought I was the only one who had thought of this. I even tried emailing id and Epic about it for their respective games. Dunno if it will ever happen.
I am one of the many that has downloaded the fansub AS WELL AS the Japanese DVD ISO. I find it hilarious that the Japanese DVD has horrible subtitles and the fansub makes so much more sense. I personally can't wait for the DVD to come out in the US. I will probably buy it opening day if I don't have plans.
Naw, Dickie-boy had it written up over a week ago, I think, and I been practicisin on it since then. Plus the telemaprompters are gonna have it on there so I just gotta listen to them 'n' I'm fine.
As weird as it sounds, you've convinced me to not be so afraid of temping and contract work. I've been offered a few contract jobs, but with nothing after 3 months, so I've been scared to take them. Her's hoping that I can find one again now that I'm ready to take the plunge....
Would you want to try living in Nazi Germany and writing a biography about Hitler that told everything, the good and bad? I sure wouldn't. I'd be executed on the spot most likely.
so reprint the book saying it's fiction and tell anyone they can trade theirs in for a new "improved" copy. Then they can feel good about themselves.
Or just tell them to stay out of the history/real life sections of the book store if they might want to read something that hasn't been embellished one iota.
So you sign up for a month or 2 every year and download everything you can get in that month or 2 and then delete what doesn't tickle your fancy. I think that makes the most sense to anyone.
No offense, but you're probably someone that has actual experience. With my degree I didn't get any real experience, so the jobs Monster finds for me, even when I specify "prefer entry level" are looking for people with 8-10 years experience, and still post that they are looking for "entry level". Basically for a grad finding a job is a bunch of bullshit right now.
Just looked it up and apparently the meaning of troll I used is a slang version that maybe everyone doesn't know. Look here http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=troll for more details.
well you don't *have* to patch the game. You could go on with the possibility of your save being wiped every time you power the system on or off (whatever the exact reason is).
Same as you don't *need* a mouse on a current Windows computer. It just makes most things a billion times easier.
Having a degree doesn't guarantee a job. Try finding a job around here in any tech field. 99% of job postings require 5 years experience for a basically entry-level job, and most of the other 1% won't accept college grads.
I have a degree and can't get a job for the life of me because of the experience requirements for "entry-level" jobs.

I've had Mandrake randomly delete all the kernels in my /boot partition randomly when I install Mozilla or mplayer or something completely harmless.
I've always found purple cables to be the fastest.
Including the doctor that the whole office revolves around! So even the IT people are gone. Or would it be *just* the IT people who made that rule?

No, he has many more than 10 programmers so it turns to shit again. At least that's how it looks to me.
You didn't need to add the comma. You seem to have a big problem with punctuation. You use too many commas and some should be other punctuation marks.

You can have a veto on my car! Please! Veto means I'll get a new one to replace it, right?
I think he's saying each company sucks for their own reason. Maybe someone can make a middle ground instead?
Not saying it's feasible, but I'd like to think someone might at least try.

And, by the way, trawl is a synonym to troll.

You mean things like troll (boating term, not big ugly monster) slashdot and make posts?
Being a Catholic I'm afraid I cannot comment on how I feel about that.
