agreed, let's give up on statistics all-together. Anecdotal evidence is evidence enough for me. I coudda got through college quicker without all those stats classes anyway. Hey, could you pass me that revolver? What do you call this game - Russian roo-lett? Seems awfully dull to me, I just seen you five gents pointn' n' clickin' just like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I don't think this applies universally. I have had very good customer service relationships with Indian outsourcers and I think part of it is cultural (in general respect and diligence are faded values in the US, while elsewhere they are only fading) and part of it may be that many of the people being employed in India do not care so much about the success of their company, but that simply for financial reasons and uncertainty about the job market, care about keeping their job.
I found your analysis rather shallow, but acceptable for the sake of its brevity and succinctness if nothing else. I was able to follow your argument until your last line "Bush can't understand what's it's like for an ordinary family to suffer the devastation of unemployment because he's never lived through it."
I assure you, I am very far from being a Bush fan by any means, but that is just a horrible attack to make on anyone that has to make executive political decisions or statements. Did you vote for the candidate that has experienced everything? Should the commander and chief defer all decisions he has not directly had experience with to someone that has?
points for duct tape solution. Negative points for suggesting someone not waste a lot of time on tech mod on/.
correct answer is skip work for a few days, spend a ton of time working on some really cool device mod that will make most people say "that guy has waaaay too much free time," post pictures and a step by step of how you did it, let us slash the hell out of your server for a few hours
All I want to know right now is does this mean that guy in that commercial who said he invented blackberry lie to us? Can I still have faith in television?
true, but the parent does emphasize a point that I think is especially relevant as we celebrate the success of wiki. As we begin putting more faith in online sources of information, especially as prominent victors (wiki, google) emerge as "standards" we do run the risk of an Orwellian information system susceptible to changing right underneath our noses.
I had to stop reading when I hit "so hopefully we'll see almost no viruses or Trojans"
Yeah, and maybe there's an option in the control panel to enable world peace. The author either has his head so far up his butt that the lack of oxygen is getting to him or microsoft is giving extremetech some sort of big ol handjob.
google videos tend to have a pretty medicore resolution. It's too bad that these videos will likely lose a lot of their sentiment by being displayed at lo-res.
that all depends on the bus. If it was one of those VW mini-buses with an apple sticker on the back window, you better believe I'm not going Mac anytime soon.
right on. and let's not forget that GTA didn't start this - it can all be traced back to the ninja turtle arcade game where you have a chance to whack that whore on the skateboard.
Google also stated that they are not currently planning world conquest and enslavement of mankind, but have not ruled out the possibility.
I'm guessing somewhere at Google there's a neon sign with the company motto "Don't be evil" and you just know the "don't" is doing a lot of flickering these days.
A nice touch on this would have been to route the power to the cap, maybe with just a small spring switch that barely protruded above the rim such that taking the cap off would release the spring and start the computer up.
on the next episode of "ask slashdot" : My friend once told me that if I use windows 3.1 for workstations it will be harder for my parents to figure out which "dirty" websites I am looking at. Is this true?? am I L337?
your example hints on another reason why.xxx is a terrible idea. With blocking software in place it's likely that that our future, the youth of the world, will grow up yanking it to "graphical information about vaginal yeast infections." Call me Freudian if you will, but such specimens will not likely exhibit prime mental health in their later years.

oh come now, since when are the Canadians not questionable characters?
shortly after ebay opened. Ebay is a great place to buy scientific equipment.

huh? do weight, vehicle type, and location where one buys her toilet paper correlate with an interest in astronomy?
Is this a joke with a reference that I'm failing to associate?

away with such rubbish!

wow, I hope you're not Canadian. I think proposing to ban alcohol is considered treason there.

wait, did you just transmit a verizon phone# over Google? Shouldn't verizon be paying google for that usage of their medium to transmit their data?
From TFA: "After all, Adobe didn't even release Version 6 (acrobat) for Linux."
That's about as dissapointing as M$ not porting BOB to Linux.

"I was reading an article today that said in post-war Japan there has never been a successful hostile takeover."
Is this because of all the samuris?

"Maybe he or she hopes to move to America or Europe someday and is using the game to also help practice English."
Well then this policy works in their favor anyway - it will indicate grammar errors that need improvement.
The ground-breaking technology could eventually lead to robots able to express emotions."
and in other news, the dreidel could eventually lead to a perpetual motion machine...
this seems like quite a leap from banal invention to extraordinary implementation
discovery channel also was my source for hearing what the parent mentioned about lightguides - was on a "how polar bears hunt" special.
