You're looking at it all wrong. They should be proud of the time they spend at work. Do you have any idea how much more their CEO makes now than he used to?
If the the press cannot hire its own experts to completely examine the system and freely publish its results there is no democracy.
You have a greater faith in the press than I do. The press will do whatever it has to do in order to maximize its profits. That may or may not be in the best interest of the voter. For instance, it was very profitable for the press to give 75% of its coverage to the winner of the California recall. The media can not be trusted with something as important as voting.
I hope you aren't going to argue that it affects us in a good way?!?
If he won't, I will. Watching pornography may not affect everyone in a good way but it certainly can affect some people in a good way. For the overwhelming majority, porn is neither harmful nor harmelss - it is mostly inert. Furthermore, if you are arging that viewing porn is harmful, you have absolutely no scientific evidence to back you up. You are certainly welcome to apply your moral ideology to your own porn viewing habits, but not to mine. I don't know why you christians can't understand that not everyone wants to be like you.
One caveat about Go Game: Do not under any circumstances give them a valid email address. The purchase email lists from various sources and send tons of spam. Of course, if you're one of those people whjo prefer not to do business with spammers, than maybe you'll avoid them altogether.
Most Spammers are Criminals, Scam Artiest and possible Terrorist anyways.
Oh please. Get a grip. Exactly how many buildings have spammers blown up? How many people have they killed? And just where are the spammer's WMD, Mr. Bush?
Explain to my wife that we have to move to a new city so that I can send email to some Slashdot jackass who doesn't understand that some people don't have a viable option to change their service.
I'm a Slashdot jackass that uses blacklists. Your need to send me email does not equate to my need to read it.
Noticeably absent is any mention of Microsoft's support of spam, including their spammer-for-hire subsidiary, bCentral.com. Listbuilder is one of the worst at harvesting email addresses from any source they can get their hands on.
Isn't it great when you're so rich you can break the law, then simply reimburse the people you scammed when, sometimes, they notice and react ?
That's what makes this country great. When the poor and downtrodden realize that the rich can break the law with impunity, then they too can reach the American Dream. All you have to do is give up the penny-ante crimes like liquor store holdups and start importing your own boatloads of drugs instead. Your children will grow up to be Senators and Presidents.
And, to be clear, "small" doesn't mean, necessarily, on the scale of nomadic tribes, but more like regular towns of several tens of thousands of people each. It seems that once an area gets into the hundreds of thousands of people, people start clashing in their everyday lives...
I don't agree with your cut-off point. I live in San Francisco, a major metropolitan city of several hundred thousand people. For a few years, I would regularly ride the bus downtown with Tom Ammiano, President of the Board of Supervisors. We would occasionally chat about city business - I'd ask about the status of an issue or state an opinion. I don't know if I influenced his vote but I always felt like I got an honest answer and got listened to. Unfortunately, he is the only supervisor who uses the public transit system, but it's better than none.
Besides, if you REALLY want to see a flamboyant SF affair, come visit Castro street here on Halloween. It's like a college Halloween party, except bigger:)
Crap, that's depressing. All of San Francisco's queer culture has been reduced to comparisons to a frat party.
A corporation is a thing. One cannot behave immorally or unethically against a thing. It's like asking if it's acceptable to lie to a rock. Humans deserve ethical behavior. Corporations can only legislate lawful behavior.
...you can have five people write five different things and achieve the same goal.
You make that sound like a good thing. What it actually is is Perlspeak for, "each developer will have to learn the idiosyncratic programming habits of four other developers".
I was at Burning Man in 2001 and wondered why I drove all that way. I saw nothing there that I couldn't see on a typical Saturday night in San Francisco - or any city with a vibrant art community for that matter. The only thing I saw at Burning Man that I don't see in a big city was a county sheriff driving by every 15 minutes peering into people's homes to see if they're smoking pot.

Google doesn't necesarily have to issue quarterly guidance if it doesnt want to.
Financial reports are not optional. They are required by the SEC and Federal law.

Isn't a Web service still based on a client/server architecture? Aren't n-tier systems just an extrapolation of the client/server model?
It all becomes clear when you realize that the poll was from the PHBs.

Thankfully, Microsoft's success in having become 'the establishment' will make it very hard for them to acquire street cred
No, it won't. In the USA, anybody with a sufficiently large marketing budget can become 'cool'.

I like my arrogance and elitism and I think I'll hold on to it. It keeps me warm.
P.S. lose , not loose.
..."I will preemptively steal all the predictable bad jokes right now:"...
Which ones were the jokes?
By that logic, eventually no one will send you email, or talk to you. This will be a very good thing.
It means no such thing. You need to go back and re-learn logic.
It does mean that I get only the email I want and not the email you think I want (which is what spam is all about).

Do you really expect people to take advice from a guy who uses the word "methinks" ?

I thought this was interesting so I thought I'd add the *Java numbers in:
Java 0.280 0.330
* - a freshmen-year, recursive factorial algorithm that I made NO attempt to optimize (I didn't even remove the debugging println statements).
No. Entrapment is when you entice or coerce someone to do something they wouldn't ordinarily do.

In Texas, we did away with the Laws of Thermodynamics and everyone's been a LOT happier.
Yeee-haw!

Here's a pattern that doesn't get mentioned enough:

Quality television news service? I'd kind of like to get some of that myself. None of the 417 channels I get has it.
