A Skype-SIP gateway server. And then abandon all and everything that is Skype from my systems. (Except for the gateway on one server, of course.) I'll open-source that too, and will make huge enterprisey pitches for the PHBs, until the closed-source virus that is Skype dies out for all eternity, until the end of all time.
Uuum, the Mac IS a crappy PC! Just an expensive one. I found their quality to be sub-par to what I'm used in a price range below their prices. Or in other words: They are too expensive for what they are. Also, I can't even choose what I want in there! I see no reason to ever buy a Mac, other than when I'm forcibly drugged to do so.
You sound like a total fanboy. Because it's astonishing how you really believe that those products have a good quality for their price! Really really astonishing! I bet you never built your own system, or checked out anything without their logo.

ID/Creationism will not ever change basic facts. You can only look away. The hammer will hit you anyway.
So do you really want to look away, and lose your only chance to change something? ^^
Ok, sorry... in case you are a stone with no own ability to change anything, then of course I did not want to offend you, and am an insensitive clod.:P
Which really does not matter. No offense. But we're talking about vastly longer terms here. As the dosage makes the poison, and this is a multi-generation process of building up the toxins, it's a totally different situation as those short-term (< decades) effects.
It's the same problem as with so much of what we call "food" all over again.:/ Small deficiencies, malformed molecules (especially proteins) and dosages of toxins are totally OK... except if you take them for 40 years in a row. Then you get all kinds of diseases. Medicine is still calling those "age-related", as if the reason would be the age itself. Sometimes it is, but for every other time, it is not. They just come with the age. That's all.:)
So when you calculate the toxin buildup, you will end up with fields that are so deadly that nothing will ever grow there again. And either before or after that, with a "incubation time"/delay of some decades, people will get more cancer, more other diseases. And "nobody" will know why, because they only look at the short term, and don't think about such things. So it's "age" again, who gets the blame. As if there were some magical third reason besides genetics and the environment (which includes food, air, toxins in your home, etc.).
Well, except when someone actually is worth millions, because he really is that great. Well not exactly millions, but a large sum to live in luxury. I can imagine humans who give others so much, that they deserve it. In German, deserving and earning are the same word for a reason!
I think all rational people realize that when someone whips out the Nazi comparison that they're just behaving irrationally and will most likely be ignored
And I think that people who without exceptions ignore any Nazi comparison, even when it fits (I'm not saying this is the case here), are just as irrational, as those who use irrational comparisons, and with them in the same mindset of one-dimensional black/white thinking as... well... you know who. ^^
So what you're saying is, that the Chinese products are more expensive, but better at hiding the true cost, and that you, despite being completely aware of that fact, still keep buying there?? Somebody must have lost his mind from all the lead poisoning.
Where the heck is end-user database/web development? It's like Microsoft Access and Lotus Notes are living time capsules of their 1995 versions. Where is a unified naming system that treats e-mail messages, files, web URLs, and database records homogeneously? Where are agents? Why do I have to manually save every check images from my online banking? Why aren't these automatically downloaded to my computer by a software agent?
I wondered the exact same thing.
They're in my drawer. Seriously! I invented them. (Come here and have a look in my idea books, if you don't believe me.) And I bet so did a ton of other people. They are simple, elegant, efficient, free and powerful. But they are only ideas.
The problem is: How am I going to make them into real software, when I am barely able to live, with a full day of stupid meaningless work? If you give me the money, I can give you all this in less then a year! Including polishing! (Of course I would hire a large number of great people, for fair salaries. Not do it all alone.) The only condition: It has to end up being open-source software. Do you have that money? (At least 2 million € In gold or silver please, because I don't trust bank-controlled currencies anymore. So I prefer to use, what saved the banks themselves over their self-created inflation.)
9/11 triggered some assholes to bomb two foreign countries, unrelated to the actual event, creating huge messes of wars, which costed a ton of tons of money. Money that came from the Banks, and then China, and went into scrap metal and dead people in the Iraqi and Afghani sand.
And now they're broke. Obviously.
Properly handled, 9/11 would have triggered a bunch of special agent teams infiltrating Al-Quaeda and their training camps. Shooting the whole head off of that organization. And hopefully the mullahs behind it all too. Problem was: Al-Quaeda was led by powerful friends of the US, and attacking them would have seriously hurt the oil economy, and thereby us all.
It was simple short-term thinking.
The banking "crisis" is a whole different beast. That was a deliberate act to weed out the competition, and to put the US government in even more debt, go gain even more control over it. And by the creation of "bad credit", over us all. It's pretty close to an attept to enslave people. Which worked not that badly. I mean everyone now accepts every treatment. "Only *please* give me some money. I'll even such your dick." is the attitude nowadays. And that was the idea. So now people are struggling even more, to get those funny papers that have written on them, that they are the debt of another person. While the banks always sit in-between, asking (for example) 10% on top of what they lend you. Which means: 10% of every single dollar bill out there. Which of course is impossible, because we will always only have 100% of the money that exists. Never 110%. So 10% of the population (in this example) *will* not be able to pay it back. Which is what you call "recession".
And that is the endless process, deliberately engineered, to get absolute power over us all. Just that this time, they were so greedy, that they did hurt even themselves in the long term.
But hey, have you seen the photos of the parties, where those banking people and their friends went to, after they got all that money? (= debt of others = control over them) I have. They partied for *week* without pause. In giant orgies with only the most expensive of food, drugs and hookers. In tropical paradises. Try to search for things like "party $nameOfBankCEO" or the like. Oh boy, those must have been the craziest parties in human history...
That's what makes a good manager/boss: Someone who listens to the experts that he hired because they are better at something than he is.
One could say: A perfect boss is someone, who can perfectly combine and channel all the competence of his employees into one point. Like a network switch. Allowing them do work with each other at top efficiency. A switch is only a relatively simple device. But essential for any network to function.
One could say, bad bosses are not only just network hubs. They also corrupt the packets on the way, and lead them everywhere but where they belong. Making the results useless for all clients of the company.
since it's the only decent desktop ^nix and there is no crapware like on Dell's and HP's
Yeah, because you get to decide that. Right?
OSX is a playtoy for those who deliberately do not want to understand the very thing they use daily, and even accept the grossly limitation of their freedoms too keep that state, done right. Windows is the same thing, done wrong.
The Linux desktop environments are somewhere in between. Gnome is trying to be like OSX, ideally having one single button reading "Do whatever I just think of right now". But as they have weak realities, they listen to the mass of retards, demanding it shall be more like what they are used to: Windows. So it acts and looks *exactly* like Windows. Including every tiny crap like whatever feature MS stole in the last update of Windows. KDE on the other hand, wants to offer all the options. Which would be nice. If only they knew the meaning of the word "defaults" (as in: frees the user from *having* to go trough every setting, to change *one* thing). Also, because they don't want to be OSX, but are just as pathetic as Gnome, they imitate Windows even more strongly. From time to time, a nice idea gets through (like the semantic desktop), but gets fucked up beyond reality, right after that. Because the Wintards scream so much louder, when something that unusual comes their way.
I must say though, that Apple are the only ones of that bunch, who try to lead the way. Who have a strong reality, and stand behind it. OSX is not made out of looking at how others do it. That's why it's so great.
Linux though, despite the crappiness of its DEs, still beats everything, for its total and complete freedom, and scriptability. You can actually *use* your computer with Linux. For what it was invented for: To *automate* *your* work.
Windows is so successful because it's the OS for the pathetic masses without own opinions and extremely weak realities. Those who prefer to live their lives in a walking daze, voting whoever "others" would vote for (meaning: what the media tells them is the top candidate), preferring comfort over every other thing in their life. Over freedom. Over wealth. Over everything. Yelling "Hey, stop being so loud. You're disturbing my comfy TV session." to the guy who just bleeds to death, crying for help.
Eeem, this is no troll. Learn to understand the comment and what mod points are, before you moderate, would ya?
This is really a well-known fact! Come with me, to any arbitrary company. Say a small shop of 50 people, doing heating installations, or something alike. And we'll prove it. Why this example? Because I worked at such companies. And it was impressive, how telling them things 10000 times, would change exactly *nothing*! They re-did the wrong things over, and over, and over, and over, and over. It was astonishing, how they always found new ways to use the software in a wrong way.
How can someone be serious, and say that this is not exactly how it is? I guess troll moderation are for those who disagree, but don't even have enough of an argument to back it up, to fill a single comment.
They don't exactly grow their food in space. So fresh food is rare. And no. Neither heated, nor frozen food suffices in the long term. Let alone the total trash that is what we call "normal food". Meaning everything that's processed...and processed again,...until it's more a chemo-cocktail, with tons of wrecked proteins, destroyed molecules, and all vital substances out of balance, than species-appropriate food.
Sorry, but as long as you keep that mentality, and shoot "normal" "food" (according to the average joe or the food chemist) into space, people will, just as on sailing ships, become sick of many various things. Just like we do down here. But much quicker. We call them "age-related" diseases, because we think they come because of age. When in reality, they come *with* age. Because of decades of eating trash.
Maybe there is a global setting for Gnome that allows you to set the default print command. I agree that this is not acceptable interface design. State is a very useful concept. Especially for printing setup.

TFS makes the assumption, that because the people in Framingham are like that, that the whole world must be like that.
Which of course, is total bullshit. This study is only meaningful for Framingham. If you want it to have a global meaning, do it globally.
