  1. Re:They had this coming on Kodak Lagging in Digital World · · Score: 1

    I did a little bit of research before went to Frys for a Cameras in the $200 price range. The sales clerk was a geek who knew his shit. I throw questions at him from left to right and he answered them without pause. I didn't open the camera until I read all the reviews just incase I had to return it. All the reviews were positive.

    What does this have to do with America? I'm shopping for a quality camera. I'm looking for the best bang for the buck. I will say this though, I will never ever buy an American car.

    ...the lenses are absolute shit. All the megapixels in the world won't give you a good picture if the lens is bubbled or out of alignment.

    That is exactly what the sales clerk said.

  3. Re:They had this coming on Kodak Lagging in Digital World · · Score: 1

    Well just last week I purchased a digital camera. I was in the market for a camera in the price range of $200. I went to Frys and saw a Kodak and Canon. I asked the sales clerk (more knowledgeable than most) which camera is better and he flat out said the Canon. He trashed the Kodak camera. Said it had less features and that its accessories are more expensive. He basically said the Kodak is all fluf. This can't be good for Kodak!!! Needless to say I bought the Canon and I am absolutely happy with it.

  7. Re:Many factors to consider on Consequences of Turning Down a Promotion? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you can't handle the challenge and want to take the easy route then that's fine, but remember that they offered you this job because they thought you can handle it. If you turn it down it says something about you.

    A project is as exciting as the people who lead it. You can mold and shape this project into a cool project. You come in, whip up the team into shape and make something out of nothing.

    If I were you I wouldn't let an opportunity like this slip by me.

  8. Re:Why stop with M$? on TVI to Sue Over MS Autoplay Feature · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Only M$ will make it self look like a prime target for every stupid company that has a patent. When someone sues you, you take it seriously and if it is a bogus patent you have to make stand right there and then otherwise you will open yourself up to a lot more litigation.

    Besides, Linux and the Open Source Community has Free Software Foundation. Plus, I'm sure Redhat, Novel, and IBM has vested interest in seeing Linux grow and won't site idle while shitty companies (ala SCO) tries to extort money from the open source community and its user base.

  9. Re:ATTN Comcast customers on Comcast Wants To Buy Disney For $66 Billion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well if Comcast doesn't care about their customers then why do they give me a nice discount every time I call them and say I'm going to cancel my service? I have done this three times and every time they reduced my rate for cable internet to $30 dollars a month. Every company cares about their customers and if they don't they are bound to tank. I mean, they don't know how much influence a single customer has.

    You seem to think that one person can make a difference. I'm one of those people that think a single person can make a difference.
