Actually, in my experience conspiracy theorists don't watch sports, as they feel all matches are fixed by the "elite".
I'd like to add to your redneck ass-grabbing example. I have met numerous people, including a guy I worked with on my last contract, who believed in one or more of:
- an alien lizard conspiracy which secretly rules the Earth
- the global warming "hoax" that is being foisted upon us by ne'er-do-well climate scientists seeking to enrich themselves
- the Bilderberg group of rich people who secretly rule the world (optionally under the watchful eyes of the lizard dudes)
- hollow Earth - not kidding, I met a girl who was way into this piece of nutbaggery
- the Face on Mars people, who have gone silent since the Mars Global Surveyor took better pictures
- "Moon landing never happened" people - I know a girl who works in administration at the local Science World who believes this, and I am not making this up
- of course, all the 9/11 conspiracy people
Etc., etc. These are the types who believe the LHC poses a threat. No science background and probably a good dose of attention-seeking - so why are we even discussing this?
They've sold a lot of consoles, but not a lot of games. Wii owners don't seem to buy games, many of which seemed geared towards kids. That's what the OP was getting at. Of course the Wii console itself has been wildly successful - no one disputes that.
Because cloud computing doesn't require a thin client? The two things aren't related at all. Offloading processing and data makes perfect sense for many applications.
This was done in a far off place. Australia. You and I can't afford go there and watch, and can't be sure of what he put on the field.
How do you know I can't? Do people not live in Australia? Or can verification only be done by people in your particular country? Your comment is totally senseless.
Apparently as of Snow Leopard, the touchpad can now do handwriting recognition. So you may already have all the tools you need with your MacBook. I've never tried this particular functionality, though it sounds cool.
Agreed, the most stoned I have ever been is from eating pot in one form or another - as in, not being able to move or speak stoned.
As a side benefit, I've always found after eating it that I take the most amazingly satisfying dump the following morning, and I walk away from the toilet feeling like I'm floating through the air.
Wow, the world's atmospheric scientists need to hop to it and answer this stunningly deep and insightful question of yours right now! After all, that's their job: to slavishly answer to the simplistic demands of utterly unqualified riff-raff.
To be fair, the IT job market is not the same as the developer job market. An IT person may very well be "working retail", as an admin for some retailer that is going through hard times.
Actually, it's applied science that is valued in Asia. It is seen as a stepping-stone to wealth and status. The world's pure research mecca is still the United States, which has far and away the best university system on Earth.
Talk to anyone who works for a major game developer: PC gaming essentially died because of piracy. End of story. The "price that the market/gamer can bear" when copying is easy is $0. So, goodbye PC, hello consoles!
It also adds anonymous blocks to C, which is pretty radical. Read the Ars review on Snow Leopard, and skip ahead to the GCD parts - simply put, it is quite awesome.

People like you really need to post here more often.
Since when is a hat larger than the body it's attached to?
They've sold a lot of consoles, but not a lot of games. Wii owners don't seem to buy games, many of which seemed geared towards kids. That's what the OP was getting at. Of course the Wii console itself has been wildly successful - no one disputes that.
So that's why I have troubles breathing every time I set foot outside the door.
Assuming Adobe has a monopoly in some area or other, precisely how have they abused it?
The illegal part is the abuse/protection, not the monopoly itself.
It is from the perspective of the people who create such works in order to get paid. But hey, who cares about them.

Adam Smith was a proponent of a regulated free market, precisely the opposite of what you stated.

I take it you have issues with the iPhone, given the number of "can access a website" posts you've made. Maybe you should just learn to relax.
You completely missed the point of his argument. You are the idiot, and I can safely say that without making some retarded emoticon face.

I wasn't aware of an existing Unix file layout standard. HP-UX puts executables in /etc, for example.

I really, really wish people would read about technology before making their grand pronouncements about how irrelevent it is.

Rogerborg: voted "Most Likely to Die in a Police Standoff".
No, you are completely wrong. You clearly have no experience whatsoever with Cisco hardware and have no idea what you're talking about.
You're sure about that?
