From the summary:
"An accompanying email calls for employees to celebrate the 'chance for us to once again dogfood a product and make it even better!'"
And since I didn't know what dogfood meant, I had to wiki it. So, I had to clarify for you in my 2nd comment. This all started when I saw that the AC at the beginning of this thread was modded as interesting. But now he/she is not. If you wrote a program that for a company that sells pay roll software, wouldn't you use that in house? what does this have to do w/ blaming MS for using their software in house?
What the fuck are you talking about? The dogfood comment is about what you use in house. Do you think Oracle uses mysql in house? Maybe I should have been more specific. You don't want to see a company that produces a piece of software that would be used, like say, a help desk ticket program, use a competing program. What ever you use at home is what you use at home. They don't have to use the G1 phone if they don't want to. They're giving the G1, the phone they make, as a perk. Would you expect them to give a HTC Fuze or LG Incite? But now we're getting completely off track here from the actual story post.
I also said writes a piece of software, not use a particular OS or tool. But way to take my words out of context.
How the hell is this interesting? Because the economy is catching up to Google? Last year or the year before, everyone clamored because they were charging more for day care services. That they did not have to give any way.
Are you referring to the dog food comment? That's just, or should be, common practice. You don't wanna see someone that writes a piece of software and use a competing product.
No no. I think you took my comment in the wrong tone. I was not knocking the idea of shutting machines down to save money. I was referring to the $279 dollar report.
I'm sure you're being funny. And I do actually walk around the bar. But some of the bars I go too w/ my friends it's easier to text them and ask where they are in the bar than try to call them w/ the music blaring or walk around drunk in a place aimlessly looking for them.
Not only that, but there are times it takes a half hour or longer for me to get a text message from my friend on another carrier. And we're both in the same bar room.
Doesn't some of the technology look a lot more advanced than even the Original Series? Enterprise (series) had some of the same things like that that bothered me.
isn't the price of the Kindle. But the price of the tech books that are still ridiculously high. They should be cheaper since they're not in print. Not $50+ per book.

Here is the result of that google search.

Well. Cops don't protect.....

Grissom from the original CSI was the bug guy...infact in a few episodes they got DNA from maggots.
"Sir I have clicked the button, however explorer has hung" Isn't that the typical Yes or no dialog box?
Until of course it reaches the front page. Like a few stories lately.
Did you not understand the "Here here!" was in agreement w/ your post?
simply building a better product
Weren't these the things that were catching fire?
Here here! Nothing wrong w/ making money if it's not deceitful or looking like begging.
Well. Google is allowed to make money too. Would you prefer that google search cost you $9.99? Or each mail sent on gmail 10 cents?
I dislike them for HOW they became profitable.
ooooooooo okay. I wasn't sure if you were referring to the report or the ideology of shutting the machines down.
No no. I think you took my comment in the wrong tone. I was not knocking the idea of shutting machines down to save money. I was referring to the $279 dollar report.
With all that money saved from powering down the computer, you can buy the report.
Should have been more specific. Same club. Hunting them down isn't always that easy when you're trying to meet up for a reason.

I was actually trying to make the point that prequels suck. Backstory should be in the first movie.
Not only that, I go to the Star Trek site - it wants me to download the "latest Apple QuickTime".
The trailer itself is hosted @ apple.com

I never thought of that. It makes it worse. Unless it's a joint bust, you were out of jurisdiction, making it even MORE illegal on the police's end.

How many of those cases actually were sent to jail? Just because they moved the sign does NOT move the boundary. That's grounds for dismissal.
