Recently I have started labeling stores that have simply gone down hill as "having Walmart employees". Walmart's commercials show happy employees who love their job in a clean orderly store, but aparantly those in charge of making the advertisements have never been to a walmart before. I have never been in a walmart store where the employees did not sneer at me when I asked them where something was. Heaven forbid I ask them to do their jobs.
I would hate it if these ppl had written anything I use. Walmart may look good at the management level but the people in the trenches aren't a nice sight.
There's a difference between the company advocating employees to do this and some employees doing it themselves. If I worked for a company, and suddently started killing people that doesn't neccessarily mean my company told me or reimbursed me to kill those people.
This could just happen to be a bunch of misguided MS employees, not everyone is perfect.
I worked as an intern in VS.NET over the summer of 2000. I was incharge of manual and automated testing of the DataList widget in WebForms. Any automation we wrote had to go through peer reviews before it could be checked into VSS.
If I were offering a competitive product in another field (like NS did or the PS2 is) I'm unable to sell product at a price that actually reflects the cost of production.
This doesn't happen as it is anyway. Sony, Nintendo, and now MS all take hits on the hardware because the hardware is just too expensive to start with. MS I believe is taking about a $200/unit hit. I'm not sure where the numbers lie with Sony or Nintendo.
Nintendo gets off lucky in that it makes a large number of the games so it makes up the loss rather quickly and easily. I am not sure about Sony's status, but MS isn't going to be making a large number of the Xbox games so who knows how this will affect things.

The green screen of Error that was posted with this is from an old version of XDR. It's not fair attributing errors from prerelease versions to the final product
First off the same program you use to "explor" your hard drive in windows is also a web browser. Try it sometime, where it says "C:" in the window toolbar enter a URL and it loads up the URL.
'Microsoft did not commingle software code specific to Web browsing with software code used for other purposes in the same files,'
It sounds like what they meant to say was that the software that does web browsing is not specifically for just web browsing, it also allows Hard disk browsing, and that code was put where it belongs, in the OS.

The post "Uber Patch" seems like it's more troll and flamebait than funny.
Wait!
You're complaining that they had a patch out quickly?
Would you rather it had takes 2 weeks?

Looks like someone is a little scared of coming out after the XBOX on Thursday. Will be interesting to see which ends up with a larger q4 sales.
