That's actually a good question. I've worked for ultra-tiny companies that ran across the cost-prohibitive issue. We would develop on what we had: a generic Windows 9x distributed system and some elderly woman with a Mac. We would drag beta-projects onto the production server so she could hit them and let us know what rendered correctly and what didn't. Nine times out of ten what rendered right for her would screw up the Windows side. So we had to go back and clean up what we could.
We called it our Cool Realtime Electronic Environment Process. Creepy, indeed.

I hear you loud and clear, buddy. Personally I have two Chrysler Cordobas, one is in fairly decent body shape, the other has no straight body panels, discolored paint, and looks like a heap.
It's amazing how people will stay away from you when it's obvious that one more dent won't mean a damn thing. People don't cut me off, don't tailgate me, and don't play road-rage-roulette with me, because 4400lbs of steel and iron awaits them. (It's obvious that I won't be dodging out of the way.)
....otherwise known as Elky. Which is definitely *not* a Norwegian Elkhound...unless, of course, it slurps down unleaded and can run 130+MPH. (Now *that's* a bitch I'd like to own!)
If you were a soviet citizen, you'd be enthusiastically crying for the deporation to labor camps of the stupid people who bought *icing* on their *cakes* when they could be using their resources to build more powerful hydroelectric plants, or better tractors. Just think of all the stupid people in california who waste energy using electricity to play silly 3D games, or watch stupid sitcoms on TV (non-productive use of electricity), or huge movie theaters showing silly moving images that don't produce anything.
Yeah, have sympathy for a company that can afford to shell out a few million dollars to the local congressmen (of course, they are not expecting anything in return), and can afford to hire PR reps who whine about turning off the lights so their employees can make chips in the dark.
Guys like you need your heads rattled to see if they make a hollow sound. Sheesh. Check your temperature and see if you're alive.
I bet you probably snitch on your co-workers if they are playing games or reading email jokes, just to boost that 0.0000013 % improvement in the economy.
Andy Grove himself would send you a personal generic christmas greeting card.
I bet you're a bundle of fun at Christmas.:)

Top 10 things I wanted for Christmas... but didn't get:(
1. triple caffeinated penguin mints
2. semis@slashdot.org;)
3. A Hemos action figurine
4. "Fear the Penguin" T-Shirt signed by bill.
5. one of them things from fufme.com
6. a new hotmail exploit on Bugtraq
7. my shell to say "Merry Christmas - jackass" when I logged in
OK, for once and for all: The fair use law says that I can make copies of a Metallica CD I buy for my own personal use. An example being I copy onto a tape because I only have a tape player in my car. This is legal. Along the same lines, do you think it's wrong for me to download that same Metallica CD that I have purchased, using Kazaa to my MP3 player so I can take it to class? It's true that if I were technically savy, I could convert all of the CD myself to MP3's, but logically is this not a legal use of Kazaa, so that 100,000 people don't have to waste time and effort doing this conversion when it's already been done?

BTW, it actually is 2^11 (which is 2048) times faster.
Thanks for the props. timothy is a mongrel bitch, IMHO.
Then, by that logic, if you're 70 do you drive like you're 120?
Indeed. And /. editors spell like dumb.

It might lie there struggling to breathe but it should still be able to get off its ass and left-click unread messages.

"Thing" of the big picture. Um. Okay. Sounds like a bad 50s monster movie.
I only wish I were joking.
Precisely. The money shot can only be squeezed off every few hours. At the most.
Really?

I dunno, "Euro" sounds pretty English like to me *and* it is now the official currency of Germany.
