What happens to that small mortgage company when you leave. Especially with the programs that you've written in VB?
Those people would be better off using WinXP with Word and Excel.
Not sure what your point is. (other than making yourself sound like a pompous ass)
If I don't have an interest in listening to Egyptian music and reading local Egyptian newspapers, then I shouldn't bother to read small snippets from people with insight into Egypt? I guess you're saying, either delve completely into Egyptian culture or don't bother being interested?
Wow, I suppose I must be in the minority here who haven't had much exposure to Egypt but still found the answers very interesting and informative. I thought I learned something, but I'm glad you're here to tell me I didn't.
You're not allowed to use women's restrooms at public parks. You're not allowed to drive police cars. You're not allowed to park in the mayor's parking spot.
There's all kinds of things you're not allowed to use that are paid for by your taxes. How 'bout this, just consider the HOV lane to be paid for by the federal government rather than the state. That's probably about the right percentage anyway.
But let me guess, you're the type of person who doesn't like the fact that motorcycles can split lanes because they get to do something you can't, right? Did you complain when Everquest gave other characters new abilities but not yours?
Or maybe you think that extra lane would ease traffic congestion so much that your commute would be lessened significantly. That's basically your complaint, right? That you don't like the HOV lane existing and you think it should be another normal lane? Surely you couldn't be suggesting that we somehow keep it an HOV lane and yet let single, socially retarded people use it, right?
Marketing doesn't make up the date. The date is provided to them by the developer. In most cases, the marketing team is far removed from the development team and in many cases they don't work for the same company.
She's the marketing manager for Halflife:2 and Worlds of Warcraft. She's pretty much constantly racing to shuffle promotions and launch dates because the developers can't get their act together.
She'll get an email that just says "Halflife:2 is slipping to Q3." and the next three weeks are spent scrambling to change things up.
It's a pain in the ass I tell ya because I come home and there's nothing to eat. The developers are directly responsible for my high cholesterol.
Where the hell do you work? I work with the most uptight old codgers that the insurance industry has ever known and they still get a kick out of the old "Page yourself over the PA system" trick.
Sounds like your office is a barrel of laughs.
You've had an open position for a developer for 6 months?
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but either you don't really want a developer, you don't really need a developer, or your hiring standards a bit out of whack.
Ah, but you missed my point. So many people here love to claim that MS Word sucks ass, and Outlook blows donkey dicks. In fact, they don't. They do what they're supposed to do, and they do it well.

www.movielink.com They're working on it.
People buy bottled water.
Key word, Gandalf. "Series2"
Moviefly became Movielink. Movielink is fully up and running.
Heck yeah. I'd pull over with a ratchet set and get me one next I'm on my way up to Willow Springs.

Jackass.
Damn, I'm halfway down the page and this is the first time someone's mentioned that stupid line.
Don't break the fvcking law and you won't go to jail. Asshats.
I think it'd be pretty cool to watch your system run while submerged in a pot of boiling water.
Pretty cool indeed.
You're worried about your "uptime" but you have no problem making pointless posts on Slashdot?
Idiot.
Anyone see the name as "Simon and Garfunkle"?
I'll go back to work now...
Unless there are rules that people follow, it becomes unprofitable chaos and then nobody gets to park (or listen to MP3s).
You need to Google the word "sarcasm".
Let me stash a crapload of DVDs full of data in my backpack and I'll hop on my motorcycle for the worlds fastest bandwidth test.
Or maybe a pallet of data-filled tape drives on a bullet train from one end of Japan to another?
I guess I'm missing something.
Exactly.
Kinda like the old "Do you play D&D because you're a geek, or are you a geek because you play D&D?"

Trust me on this one.

Why don't you want to be tracked?

Dude, you're a fvcking dork. Calm down, nerd.
Sweet! Cause I bet those games are worth playing on other phones!

I think I'm stuck in a Turing test. Are you a human or a chatbot?
