The news is flashed in milliseconds that XYZ Corp will miss the "streets" target by 2 cents. Hurry run run run to your broker or on-line equivilent and get your money out of this poorly performing POS company!
Meanwhile, the smart investors wait for the sheep to go get killed and buy more stock on the cheap (yay!)
This causes management to focus on nothing but share price and meeting some analyst's often rediculous expectations of "growth" instead of making great products.
Or the company points to their own guidance, which is spot on. Instead of trying to move the stock price or doing something stupid like focusing on earnings or GAAP profits, perhaps they focus on positive cashflow or ROIC. Not all companies are so short sighted.
Can you get some in the back seat of your 911 Turbo?
Don't have one. I've got an MR2 and a mazda3. The MR2 is way more fun than a drag car, since it can actually run on a racetrack, and the mazda hauls crap around. For whatever reason, women like the mazda more. I'll be getting a Cayman or C4S when money allows, but I maintain that any porsche is way better than a vintage 70s muscle car. For starters, it's got radials;)
You say it like it's a bad thing - tell me, do you enjoy such socialist things as a 40 hour (more or less) work week, child labor laws, and health benefits?
Porsche's new 911 turbo does 0-60 in 4 seconds. Just like a '72 Pontiac Bonneville convertible.
I'd like to see a Pontiac do 190Mph or match the cornering and braking on any porsche, especially at high speeds. How fast can your Bonneville go around a track?
Sorry, I was being US centric. It's mostly arab terrorists that bother the US. Not that profiling helps any, but yeah, we don't get much Sinn Fein action over here.
I didn't license anything. I bought a DVD, which I now own. I can do whatever I want, so long as I don't break copyright law by redistributing copies or something. Even public performance restrictions are reasonable, but inviting 10 people over to see a movie is fine.
Are you referring to HP or GWB? The HP thing may be legal. Domestic spying is not, and really should be a lot bigger deal than a 10 year old murder investigation.
When the bulk of baby-boomers hit their 70's, I suspect we'll find that they tend not to retire, partly because they can't afford to, and partly because onone wants them to
Speak for yourself - If the boomers don't retire, that'll make it harder for us (now) 30 somethings to move into VP and director style positions.
The problem is this: if you use MS tech, they would prefer that you use only MS tech, to the point that interop is often neglected. MS tools may work for one off solutions, but they limit you to MS tech for the future, unless you want to spend a lot of effort to change.
The router costs $30k-60k + module costs, which can run $30k each (the router is just a backplace, apparently)
Nobody saturates their pipe 24/7, especially residential customers. Overprovisioning is an expensive waste.
You haven't accounted for other costs beyond the router - bandwidth, salaries, facilities, profit.
Your analysis aside, it comes down more to what the rational business decision is (maximize cashflow) than it does what they can manage to offer at a pricepoint.
Or you could separate out the backup data (DB snapshots/full dump, documents, etc) and copy that to a separate HD. Or tape. Using the raid1 rebuild functionality just feels like a horrific abuse of the technology.
Set up a pr0n user on your laptop, then encrypt the entire user directory. Not a perfect solution - you still have swap and tmp to worry about, but it's better than trying to keep your history clean.
Utterly worthless. Your admin probably proxies http.
Oh, and if you surf for porn using the company's connection, you're a moron.
You seem to be of the opinion that games should be regulated, or that it would be a good idea. That doesn't make sense to me, since parents would still buy the games, there's already a rating system that works pretty well, and no other medium other than porn is regulated.
I don't believe that game restrictions need to be draconian but if the line be drawn, 3rd graders don't make it by a long shot.
The problem lies with the parents, not video games. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to play vice city when I was 8, and that's because I have parents.

For example: we would expect teachers to get results or be fired
Yeah, because it's always the poor performers that get fired.

We call it future shop in Canada.
No you don't. I've been to Future Shop, and it was awful. Magnolia HiFi or Definitive Audio are much better.

So, why the hell should I shell out roughly $500 just I can watch the same hollywood dreck in higher resolution?
Also say no to calling Pluto a planet. It's not.
Is too, is too!
And it was a slur that got Arab people mad.
Well, there aren't that many non-arab terrorists these days, to the point where you probably know them by name.
Meh, if this became popular, it'd just be another required card for a gamer PC, much like the 3d accelerators.

And 'real money' is only a placeholder for the banks to pay the bearer the appropriate amount of gold
No, money can be exchanged for goods and services.
but then I'm sure speed limits are an inconvenience to people who can safely and skilfully drive at 100mph.
Damn straight.

I guess he didn't use RAID1 then.
That's not how raid works. The method you describe is a mess - half written datafiles, inconsistent databases, yuck!

Agreed. That's what home broadband is for.
Was dear old Jack the Ripper a typical 19th century gentleman?
Typical, no. Gentleman, yes (or at least nobility).
Remind me why marijuana is illegal again?
You mean because of mexicans, or as a payoff to DOW chemicals?
