    I bet some ugly, ugly things get built with it. Gives me chills.

    But its got GEMS! It's a whole shiny precious stone paradigm! What could possibly be better than that?

  3. Re:Needless expense on Microsoft's Ticking Time Bomb Is Windows XP · · Score: 1

    That's great for all of you, but why do you think Microsoft should keep supporting you forever? I seriously doubt that they'd be able to break even on some monthly subscription for XP support, because the people still running XP are obviously pretty tight with money. What is the business case for Microsoft to lose money supporting something that prevents people from purchasing their products?

    I much prefer waggling my penis at it.

    Unfortunately the people doing the hiring have no idea how to tell competent people from idiots, and the idiots win with the low bid.

    ...so they can 'innovate' by not being able to hear themselves think because of the 'collaborating' going on at the desks around them.

    I work in a place like this. Its easy to identify the people that are actually getting shit done. They have headphones to block out all the jabbering.

    The government can create all the money it needs out of thin air. Currently they're doing 85billion per month.

    "I only found out about that silly limitation when we sent an employee out to do a preliminary wireless site survey. Since he had an iphone he could not." ...but he actually could, unless you sent him out there without even knowing if he had an app for that...something like one of these maybe?

    Why were you doing a survey with a crappy phone antenna, anyway? Oh right, you weren't, and you didn't send anybody anywhere to do anything. You're just making crap up to back your rabid fanboidism.

    Competency is meaningless if you don't have good info to base your decision on.

  20. Re:For Obama... on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 1

    Probably not in any meaningful way. Their most recent lesson is that presidential candidates lie... which I suppose is the same lesson they would take from the previous few candidates.

  21. Re:For Obama... on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 1

    I don't think the democrats will take the next presidency. The young people that put them over the top are pretty damn disillusioned with the gap between what was promised and what was delivered.

    I feel like a dumbass for buying his bullshit during the elections (I didn't vote for him, but he seemed like a decent guy). I thought Cheney was a straight thinking, honest guy in 2000, too (didn't vote for that pair either).

    There should be criminal penalties for lying politicians.

    I didn't know about that, so I'd agree with you there.
