Here is a question: Do we all produce the same brain signals to carry out movements? I imagine those wishing to have bionic limbs will have to go through a training regiments which will involve having their brain hooked into a machine.
The XBox failed because it came late in the game. Don’t blame it on the Japanese. Sony had the Playstation 2 and tons of games on the market when the XBox was getting out of the game. When almost every Japanese household has a Playstation 2 console what do they need XBox for? The XBox didn’t offer anything of value to me and I imagine a lot of Japanese people felt the same. The choice between and XBox and a Playstation 2 in Japan is a no brainer. You take which ever console has the most games and a lot of your friends have so you can share game libraries.
Don’t blame the Japanese, blame Microsoft’s incompetence.
Rice boy has become universal. It doesn't apply just to Asians any more. Latinos, whites and even brothers can now be referred to as rice boys. The term as evolved.
I take all my utility functions with me but I have never taken nor will I ever take any code that is at the core of the software product. I mean it is useless because the effert of having to re-engineer the code is more cumbersome than starting all over again.
Why re-write email or zip utilities? Also, any process flow control code is fair game.
Actually, I know of a contractor in our office that was asked to train an incoming contractor who was going to help him with the task assigned to him and he refused by saying "training is not in my job description." You know what management said? "Point well taken!" I realize that contractors are not the same as permanent employees but if you clearly express your unwillingness to fulfill the request in writing you are golden if you get fired or get nothing in return while others received severance packages.
It is perfectly normal to say it is not in my job description when indeed it is not. Organizing all your work and documents into a nice neat folder should be all you have to do. I personally would write a letter clearly expressing my dissatisfaction and say no and that If they wish, they can retain my services as a contractor after I leave.
I like this strip best. I would pay to see two Japanese people act it out.

Red Hat Recap

· Score: 2, Insightful
Exactly...no one is forcing anyone to choose Red Hat. Like every company Red Hat responds to customer demands. If customers start going somewhere else for the their Linux solutions you'd better believe they'd change their license policy.
McBride: Would you buy an operating system without the source-code copyright? If you don't have copyright, they can turn around the next day and screw you.
Well we now know he is not refined. CEOs of public companies should talk like that but then again we all know he is an amateur.
While video games are fun there are other fun activities that can be had. In the summer I like to go for a walk at the beach or just drive around. Playing some basketball or tenist also requires getting out of the house. Also, being locked up in your house 24/7 will surely make you go insane.
Benze is a nice care, surly anyone that can afford it can replace a mere laptop and cell easily! If you followed the golden rule of backing up you data you'd be all set. Also, doesn't your insurance cover anything that was in your car if it is stolen?
Running your own mail server is not practical IMO. Simply put, I don't want to maintain my own mail server. I do have my own domain name with email account maintained by my hosting company.
This is what I like about Google...they are thinking big and long term. You'd be crazy not to switch email account (over time of course). All I want is an email address without a digit and lots of space and with google I just might get both.
As soon as the service is out to the general public everyone on my contact list will be informed of my new email account.
What is the whole purpose of cookies? Honestly, wasn't the intent of cookies to store "structured" data? If your data isn't structured, can you call it data?

My intention was not to demean or disparage those with a single parent. God know, I know a quite a lot of smart people who were raised by their mother.

MS's take is that quite a lot of developers vist slashdot and they'd be stupid not to advertise here. Personally I don't care about thier product because I really think there are alternatives out there for most jobs. The real targets of their ads are those with purchasing power in their organization. My company has had the enterprise licese with them since 1998 so MS must be doing something right. The PHBs are in their pockets.
What a coincidence, I'm writing my thesis in OO.o too. The title of my thesis being:
"The Nameless Ape: What Went Wrong"
Basically the thesis is on an ape that went on a rampage deep in the jungles of Africa. He was able to communicate perfectly in sign language and had eyes with murderous intent.

I'm not a racing fan but the possibility of crash, fire, and death qualifies it as a sport.
I'm sorry but moving your mouse around and punching some keys doesn't qualifies as a sport.
I do it all the time at grocery stores...i always grab a handful of hazelnut flavored coffee beans as I walk around hunting for discounted stuff.
It then becomes a matter for lawyers and a public relation nightmare.
Even though termination without cause is legal in many states it is still prudent to have cause.

Yes, someone can be that stupid! Never underestimate human stupidity.

whatever they do, they'll be paying royalties to the big boys like Boeing and Lockheed. I'm sure they old a ton of patents in those areas.
