ever heard the term 'pack of assholes?'. Good people congregate, as do assholes, so both situations are going to occur, although I hope the assholes will be outnumbered more often than not.
Yeah, he was going on about what actors need, which is hardly a good basis for building an economy, since you can't really have an objective standard. Instead, it relies on some moral idea of what things are worth, which has been tried to spectacular failure. Anyway, actors are paid absurd sums because they are products sold to the huge masses - it's a consequence of the way the system is set up.
Yes it is the point. Once you've decided how much to spend, that's fixed. it's a question of how to allocate your money. Are you really this dense or am I being trolled?
That's a completely separate issue. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, the amount is fixed, and giving more money to A menas less to B. That's all.
Problem is, the numbers are not absolute - normalize your numbers and the good customers get over 100, while the bad ones get under 100. The to treat some customers better, you must neglect others.
The MD programmer is better and he's right there. You can yell at him, or just tell him that that's not what you intended. Besides, the ratio in price is about 1.8 now (so says my boss^3).
marxism doesn't lead to despotism because you can't get there. Trying for marxism will get you despotism most of the time. Democracy ain't perfect either, though - you can have two parties with stability and limited participation of the electorate, or lots of parties with less stability and more say from the electorate. The hybrid approach where you decentralize a lot of the operations while centralizing only what's necessary works pretty well, but it isn't stable either.
*smacks UbuntuDope*. It's The VA, not VT or VA Tech of VA Linux. This really is perfectly precise. Besides, what effect would Cho's wild ride have on IT systems?
it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask for peculiarly American acronyms to be written out in full for the benefit of the other 5.75 billion people in the world
I'd be surprised if the number of connected people was much over a billion.
Simple solution there: start with the planned small scale DR, then work up to turning off a datacenter. People get a large window when the drill will happen, but details and precise schedule are not released.
This reminds me of the AMD I just got - the mobo took 4 dimms up to 2G each, so a bog standard (Supermicro) board can run 8G ram. Had I been willing, any dual AMD board is capable of 16G, with DIMMs running about $140 each. The problem is that dual boards usually need EATX, which won't fit in mid towers, generally. Oh well, Dual core with 8G is still really nice.

No, "At 3M, we don't make the bombs, we make the bombs stick to stuff".

What for? You didn't blackmail them and it'd be difficult to prove that you intended to set up the situation that allowed you to rat them out.

You still have X dollars to spend on your customers. How hard is this to grasp?
Now, why can't I give certain customers $1.50, while continuing to gve the rest of the customers $1.00?
Because you only have so much money at any given time. Being nice to your good customers means being not nice to your bad ones.
I am sorry but actors/actresses don't need to be paid millions for their roles in movies.
Sure they do - they make more money than they cost. You're either jealous or you don't understand economics.

nah, custom development still gets charged at $60/hr, give or take.
they've also gotta buy blow.
Heh, I can't believe you go away with the racial bit - it's not as if blacks and whites are that different.
which ATT? Specifically, did they buy it, brand it, borg it, or actually make it?
So switching to dinners made from fresh food, like Coq au Vin is actually a diet? Sweet...
they could claim constructive dismissal. Dunno how well it'd go, but since they just cancelled the program outright, it may fly just fine.
This is the phone company - why would they be on the cutting edge of anything?
meanwhile, cockroaches have been found inside reactor cores eating the insulation.

if I, as a Brit, referred to the RBL would you pick up what that expanded to straight away?

No, we argue that it's never been done - sure marxism has been tried, but yeah, you always end up with a dictatorship. That's kind of the point.
