This happens over and over and over again-- with some users, I'm afraid to upgrade their software because their "world" sadly depends on the cargo cult execution of gestures to get their work done.
I would have thought this was an exaguration if it hadn't happened to me. I was helping a user fix a problem on her PC, and she was lost because the icon that started the program had moved on her desktop.
It's bizzare. If I moved your stapler from the left side of your desk to the right, would you call help desk?
Why would land be worth anything in WoW? It doesn't matter how popular it is, you simply can't make money from it.
You should be seeing the light. You can make a ton of money on a much less popular game by simply allowing people to own stuff and make money off of it. Like rental properties and such.
Did you just call them stupid for thinking that Science and engineering has no future, then say you're not sure if an engineering degree is lucrative?
I didn't go into the sciences, because the entry level science jobs looked like janitorial work. And if you're lucky, you might actually do something worthwhile after about two decades.
Engineering? 4 years of crazy math and teachers telling you to go "Look it up.", I might as well just toss my money into a bonfire.
The fact is, unless it's a hobby, no one is going to improve their skills in anything unless it brings in money to support themselves and their family.
Why don't they just get another avian flu/drug from another country instead of the US the? If the US is so hated?
Oh, you mean the US is the only one who bothered to make one? Even though China and other countries have been dealing with outbreaks of cross species flu for at least 3 decades?
So, Taiwan knows about this problem, they are not a poor country, and instead of investing and researching the problem, they just steal the answer from someone else who was willing to put the time and effort into a solution?
The situation (Intel's, not necessarily the difference) should change RSN when Intel's 65nm process comes online.
Yeah, but Intel has been depending on technical solutions to cover for their designing flaws. AMD can use yesterday's cheaper fab technology to achieve the same performance through superior design.
Eventually, Intel won't be able to make a smaller die, and then they'll have to go back to the drawing board and start over to make something that can compete in the marketplace.
I'm assuming that lithographic CPUs are not going to be replaced though some revolutionary new processor design. Organic CPUs, Quantum tech, or whatever. Because then Intel would end up being top dog again because only they would have the money to throw at R&D and the new fabs.
Well, currently I'm working in an operations position that they've farmed out to "contract" agencies. No raises, you pay for your benifits (Vacation, medical, sick leave, etc), no chance for promotion.
It's like Office Space. You only work hard enough not to get fired. Those with any ambition are out interviewing for new jobs.
If by "target terrorists" you mean kill the people who resist our illegal occupation plus some others who happened to get in the way...
Sigh. Illegal occupation? I'm going to assume you're talking about international law. "On May 22, 2003, the UN Security Council voted 14-0 to give the United States and Britain the power to govern Iraq and use its oil resources to rebuild the country."
Seriously man, this was discredited years ago. Where have you been? Also, sneaky use of "people" instead of "Iraqis". Because Iraqis aren't resisting anything. Look at the nationalities of these people who are getting killed. All imports.
"repair infrastructure" you mean fail to repair infrastructure,
Ok, now you've gone from willfully ignorant to high-school girl snarky. I'll assume the point you were trying to make is that there has been hardly any improvement to the infrastructure, that that there hasn't been any.
Almost no improvements to power, sewer or roads in the several years the US has been there. That's an...interesting position to take. What makes you say that?
"plant democracy" you mean pave the way for an Iranian-allied theocracy and civil war
Nope. I mean plant democracy. You know, ratifying a constitution. Teaching people to take care of problems in their own area. Voting people into offices of power and discussing issues. Maybe you're thinking of some other country?
What are you doing posting on Slashdot? Go over there and plant democracy! The Marines need you!
The Marines need me? To do what exactly? Last time I checked, the marines are doing fantastic without my direct intervention.
Or at least I thought so. You seem think that you know better though. So why aren't you over there, showing the Marines how to do it right?
Yeah, and look at how bad the US is at it! They have nukes, gas, carpet bombing, they could wipe out Iraq to the last man woman and child. What do they do?
Target terrorists, repair infrastructure, build schools and plant Democracy. If we're using the "Spend money on killing people" metric, the US is a dismal failure.

Using that logic, CGI movies will never sell.

Really? I would have thought that the google severs that they sell would have it.
hmmmm .5 cents a MB is $5.12 a GB
which is $5,242 for a TB
which is 5.4 million dollar for a PB...
Gah.
Uh, your solution would require a quarter of a million blank DVDs.
At that point, I would use hot swappable hard drives. 4,200 250GB drives is far more manageable.
You can't quit! You're fired!
Why didn't you just use that energy to create a good arguement with sound logic?
Create porn blocking flag for ipod and sell it. Make one hojillion dollars.
Why would that help? You'd die of thirst even if you managed to come up with a solution to the air problem.
You're using a constriction that has no basis in reality.
If there's a "Gay Gene", it should be treatable with gene therapy.
Do you really believe that power costs will be flat for the next decade?

Yeah, no wonder the world hates the US.
Ah yes. Fractions like 2/1 and 3/1.
Yeah, but Intel has been depending on technical solutions to cover for their designing flaws. AMD can use yesterday's cheaper fab technology to achieve the same performance through superior design.

"He speculated that Razza may have wanted female company."
Would you do it for a woman?
As opposed to: No women, ever again?
Don't sweat it. That's what nukes are for.

When isn't it after nine o'clock?
"Can you PK in farming areas, or what?"
I play on the PVP servers, and horde can only kill alliance and visa versa.
So for this to work, is to have the groups venture into each others contested territory, and molest the gold farmers unmolested.
Not likely.
Yeah. Just replace "Scotty" with "Pile of ashes". and "Beamed up" with "rocket launched" and we'll have an title that reflects reality.

Nope. I mean close to 4000 school have been worked on.

For those who actually look at data coming from Iraq instead of falling back on sloganeering, you'll find this interesting: http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110005865
