The truth is that the unions (with their continued outrageous contract demands) are driving good jobs out of the country, forcing their membership into 'service industry' jobs. (but the International still gets to hob-knob with the Democratic politicians....)
Your caricature of the 'stupid manager' is only accurate in the case of companies that are on their way out of business. Granted there are a lot of companies on the way out of business.
But try to think past 'Dilbert' stereotypes. Any good manager is going to defer to experts under his employ.
And any company that wants to stay in business long-term fires people who take bribes.
I know of a few local people who will sell me a NeXT cube with monitor for about a hundred bucks. That seems to be the going price for them these days.

Replacement shipping/media cost is usually $10-15 dollars. Maybe you should just go buy another copy of the CD at the store.

Why do they need to pick one or the other?
Clearly they sell a licensed product.
Whoops. Didn't mean to deflate your whole rant there...
I have to wonder what things will be like in 20 years, when the current crop of 20 somethings are 40 years old, wearing dentures because they burned their teeth out, running around saying "What? What did you say? Eh?" because of their ThunderThump3000 car stereos. I'm going to LAUGH at them!
I just hope we're further away from 'socialized medicine' than we are now, so we won't all end up paying for the idiot things those clods are doing to their bodies today.
If you want a medical speciality to go into now that will pay hugely ten years from now, get into tattoo removal and/or cosmetic restorative surgery. All those holes and facial scars are gonna make somebody a MINT to remove.
He was talking about it working well on a 386. Not wether it was the shiney-brite version with the 2003 release date.
And feature for feature, Office 4.0 has pretty close to as much functionality as the latest release of OpenOffice. No HTML integration, of course, but for someone needing an integrated office suite for real work, as opposed to a feature checklist, it's damn good.
It should be mentioned that Microsoft had a hell of a time surpassing Office 4.3 themselves. Many businesses standardized on Windows 3.11 with Office 4.3 and wouldn't budge for years, which really cut into Microsoft's revenue.
Comparing your chosen favorite introverted loser activity to others doesn't change the fact that you just listed a whole bunch of introverted loser activites.
It's not that simple. Malda sees a need to move on to new and exciting vistas. He's in his mid twenties now and seeking more than the old geek pabulum he grew up on. He's starting to look up words like 'Noosphere' out of ESR essays, read back issues of Green Egg Magazine, and he's been exploring both polytheism and polyandry.
One of his boyhood heroes, Pete Townshend** of 'The Who,' has come out as a pederast, and ever since the coming out, Rob has been looking at new sexual options he could embrace.
(** Check out Townshend album 'Empty Glass', which has the song 'Rough Boy'- it has lines like 'Rough Boy Come Over Here. I want to buy your leather.... Rough Boy.... We can't be seen together....')

become quite hostile when you suggest that their tech knowledge sucks.
Pardon me, but telling somebody that their knowledge 'sucks' sounds pretty durn hostile. Are you sure you didn't pick that fight?
Those games are a management tool for weeding out the scofflaws and slackers.
People can and will fiddle around on their computer. Those who do a lot of it can be quietly escorted out of the company.

The way I read it, there was more money involved in the deal they made with SuSE/IBM.
Further, the deal they made significantly involved IBM. An American company.

Until there are six or seven other apps from seperate organizations that open and save to the same format it is a proprietary format .

but... but... but... that's because Microsoft takes advantage of the hidden API calls in Wine for their Office Suite.
Heh.
A call center 'desktop' doesn't even really need to be what people consider a 'desktop.' Just several specific buttons for dedicated tasks.
These sorts of desktops run the risk of establishing Linux as the grunt-worker ghetto desktop.
Pop-psychology jargon slinging says more about.....
whatever.
Shouldn't you further order it or customize it with special less-comfortable seats? To prove you really care or something??
Get some bumper stickers if you want to 'make a statement about saving the planet.'
Somewhere in this topic I read somebody claiming this whole race was more about 'showcasing what solar power can do.'
That doesn't jive with the rules, it seems. If you don't let every team go hog wild, you end up with just another feel-good College Sports event.

they should seriously consider getting together with other companies and funding an Open Source effort
Get together with their competitors ?? That isn't how the business world works.
No, it doesn't appear to be available for download.
Will somebody please post a link to capture it in a format that will really be playable offline?
You're confusing cause and effect.
You're growing older, getting close to middle age.
You are not far from the 'those nutty kids and their NOISE' stage.
Go ahead and pretend it's that music isn't any good anymore (tm) but you're only fooling yourself.
You're certain free to go out and seek patrons and maybe even a distributor who will enter into a contract to distribute your shit for you.
I suspect you'll just find yourself playing around with your own shit in the end, though.
There are one hell of a lot of trade secret recipies. Even things as ubiquetous as Coca-Cola have recipies protected by Trade Secret policies.
You won't find published recipies at many of the best Bar-B-Q houses. You will find them selling their 'secret sauce' in bottled form.
