;) It was a joke... it's funny that none of the guys here in the office have sex with their wives, but there are so many rugrats at our outings. Maybe this technology was tested at my company.
How many other guys out there just got a cold shiver down the spine? Screw the headache excuse, now I'm not going to get any even when my wife does want another bambino. At least my birthday still comes once a year.
How could you have? DOS hasn't been around that long. Hell, CP/M was just invented the other day.:) You need to talk about the ENIAC when you mention 'long ago'.
Comparing rednecks to parasites, leaches, and any other disgusting foul creature is an insult to parasites, leaches, and any other disgusting foul creature.
Now I just heard your porch collapse, you better go out and see how many dogs died. Fuck rednecks retards. Assholes have more tires on their homes than they do their cars.... And NO, NASCAR is not a *sport*... dickhead.
Wow, on SD I'm a Falmbait and Troll. I guess I'm the only one on the Internet that uses Adblock and pop-up blockers. It was just a question. Be nice.:*
"So.. are you saying that you should not pay for art you enjoy?"
No, I pay for art that a purchase... but yes, I enjoy art for free at museums and churches all the time. I know this is not 'totally free', but I don't directly pay for the experience. I also listen to music on the radio and switch the station whenever there is an ad. Guess my worst sin would be have to get up and taking a leak whenever there is a commercial *break* during a 'free' TV show like Futurama. Must be why I don't have any Honey-Nut Cheerios or M&Ms in my cupboards.
"But you will ALWAYS have to buy SOMETHING no matter how you feel about it. Unless you're just a dyed in the wool crook. I always hope everyone finds their happiness in a way that hurts no one."
So does this mean that every time Billy watches TV, he never skips a commercial and ALWAYS buys SOMETHING they are peddling? If he does watch a TV show and doesn't buy something, then is he hurting the advertisers and being just another dyed in the wool crook?
Just needing a little clarification. His response made it sound like he doesn't approve of the watching/listening of media for personal use unless you somehow pay for it, ALWAYS.
"...Google has yet to establish a single market leader outside its core search business, where it continues to chew up Microsoft and Yahoo."
Is it me or has anyone else noticed the decline in quality search results from Google? Maybe this flurry of product launches continues to chew up its core search business. I'm not a big fan of the "throw-shit-on-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks" business model. Focusing on quality over quantity seems less evil.
Yes, you left out a whole group of people who don't matter (not only to the tech/biz sector, but also humanity): The editors, writers, and staff at Business 2.0 Magazine.
In 1994, the American Society of Civil Engineers described the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System as "one of the Seven Wonders of the United States".
"Why the hell do I have to get a wheel alignment every two months"... is the only thing I ever 'wonder' about when driving on the NEO highway system.
Technorati? Ask.com? Idee? Jookster? That is not much representation for an expert panel. No offense, but I prefer to know what is stirring around in Larry's and Sergey's little noggins. At least throw in a lackey from one of the top three engines.
Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all." Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?" Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
Throw your OS away. The only application you need is a dedicated browser (Google will provide one soon) and an internet connection to Google. No hard drives are necessary.
We used to have something like this... we called it a "terminal" and it hooked up to something called a "mainframe".
I disagree from personally experience. In the last 5 years (at a Fortune 500 company), none of the programmers that I've hired with CS degrees have worked out. One of my best developers barely got his GED. There is only so much a college degree can get you. If you don't have the passion, education is totally worthless. Professionalism can be taught, commitment can not.
I got my CS degree 17 years ago and it's nothing but a worthless piece of paper to me today. Keeping up on technology and growing with the industry through trade groups, seminars, certification, etc, is much-much more important if you want to make this your permanent career.
It is true that a degree can help show that you are "more then just what you want to do". And that is good for one of the guys I had to let go with a degree. He is now working the night-shift at Rally's Hamburgers.

I might as well apply for a patent covering "Social Sex Networks". Now if you know of any prior art, I'll need proof. Send pictures :).

"Billy's voice of Fry is the everyman, though; he's your bud, your best friend. I would almost go to say he's the reason we want the show back."
Silly me. Here I was thinking we wanted the show back because it was humourous and had a rich cast.
Silly you, the show is back only because it made the studios profitable and the cast rich.

Same thing in NE Ohio.

The product's mascot?
Either someone is copying Odd Todd or he just sold out.
If I remember the late 70's correctly, we already did this.
I don't want a robot that can think for me, I want a robot that can do certain things to me (especially when the wife has a 'headache').
"for SQL there's a bigger gap between what the code says and what the code does"
I couldn't agree more. Sometimes while working in SQL I really wish I had a time machine and a rubber hose.

"All the people paying for office are businesses - they can't afford their office to be down"
Two questions come to mind:
A) What version of MS products are you using?
- OR -
B) What are you smoking?
Just because an application is standalone doesn't mean that users aren't bombarded by problems on a constant basis.
"Only if you don't mind having no privacy and always need a working Internet connection to do any work."
Why do you think they are buying up all the dark fiber and support municipal wifi? Forget Web 2.0, think Google WAN, aka GWeb Beta.
