He wants someone who can think for themselves and create solutions to problems instead of following predefined patterns without understanding what they do.
To you, anyway. Sounds to me more like they didn't think it through.
merged their accounts with EA, corrupting them in the process so that I both couldn't log on and couldn't reset the password (it would fall into an infinite loop).
Does that sound like working-as-intended to you as well?
Listen, the company's out to gather up as much cash as they can from their customers (that's what corporations do, you know... if they don't, officers tend to get sued by shareholders), but don't attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence.
fucking around with batch/scripting: command.com, cmd.exe, VBScript, Windows Scripting Language, and Windows PowerShell ?
Wait, wait, wait. Are you going to argue that it's been better on *NIX? Ignoring the scripting part and going straight for the shells, we have in common use, sh, bash, csh, ksh, zsh. I'd say that keeping shell count to three over twenty years was quite a feat.
I originally started reading GRRM specifically because he was recommended to me by fans that claimed he was the anti-Jordan because I wouldn't have to wait for him to get around to publishing the ending to his series.
Hah. The joke's on me, Sanderson is going to finish WOT (and do an absolutely brilliant job at it too, by the way) but who's going to finish this series?
Simple. Your WOW account is probably more valuable than your bank account, plus, it's easier to turn into liquid cash, and less likely to be vigorously investigated by authorities.
Just going to point this out, because no one seems to have pointed it out yet, but.NET solved this problem from the beginning. Libraries are versioned, and even (optionally) signed, and the correct version is always loaded, if it was signed. If not, the available version is loaded, and this behavior can be overridden through configuration at runtime, such that a reference to a library can be "redirected" to another version.
It's even possible to load multiple versions of the same library at the same time, and use different versions of the same class, as needed.
Which is why, more and more, I seriously consider dropping my TV service completely and doing everything through my xbmc. Once Netflix is stable in there, I probably will.
Good. TiVo sucks, maybe MS can fix it. I, for one, think it's unlikely. I wouldn't, however, be sad to see TiVo go, since maybe then they'd leave my DVR alone. It's not as pretty as a TiVo, and it makes far less "bleeps" and "bloops", but that's OK with me.
... and you'd be wrong. Would you say that looking in a history book for information was like "snooping for garbage?" I wouldn't either. Neither would a court.
All I could find is that it gives you "the advanced protection of the cloud". That sounds really awesome, and I think I must need it desperately. Probably you too.
OP wasn't saying Smith created a "fair" economic system. He meant (and bungled the spelling, though the phonetics are approximately correct) "laissez-faire" capitalism. "Laissez-faire" is French for "let do", and implies that there should be no limits, regulations, taxes, or intervention from the government. If you've read Ayn Rand, she advocates for this system.

Why not? Is there a specific restriction on selling to family members?

PHP programmers are exactly what he needs.
So sell it to your wife?
You saw he got his account back, right?
FINAL EDIT: Finally got them to let me get to my account, i re-bought the game full price and alls well that ends relatively well.
Except it does sound like working-as-intended.

If you're using PowerShell, try this:
get-wmiobject win32_logicaldisk | format-table -auto

Would you consider it Microsoft's fault that your stuff doesn't work?
Also, for your scanner, I can pretty much guarantee that VueScan supports it. Give it a shot.
Extremely ironic note:

Any other questions?

It's the end credits from the video game "Portal" by Valve. It was written by Jonathan Coulton: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2007/10/15/portal-the-skinny/
Mastercard's involvement is STILL dull boring news.
I don't know about where you live but the protests had the effect most protests are supposed to have.
Getting the protesters arrested? That's pretty much all I noticed happening.
You have a citation for that? What contract did they break? I'll bet there's a clause in there that allowed them to break it.
I don't watch sports, and I get my opinion from NPR (and the NPR plugin in XBMC works great). I could be in the minority here.

I'll see your "Midas World" and raise you one "Star Trek".
See? It's easy.
Why's that funny? I don't see the connection. What would be more interesting is when the patents were FILED in relationship to the TiVo development.
Good. TiVo sucks, maybe MS can fix it. I, for one, think it's unlikely. I wouldn't, however, be sad to see TiVo go, since maybe then they'd leave my DVR alone. It's not as pretty as a TiVo, and it makes far less "bleeps" and "bloops", but that's OK with me.
The patents aren't about DVR capability. Now you don't have to wonder anymore.

Been there, done that, performance sucked, and I wanted to kill everyone involved in the decision to do it.
VDI is great for marketing types and noone else.
