I've visited the IRC channel numerous times for support and every single time I've had friendly service. I'm convinced that you're lying as I've never seen anyone treated like that there. Also doesn't help your case that you drop names of other products....
I'm a customer of Cox Cable and ordered their DVR as soon as they came out. I love it. It does everything I need and has a great menu, all the options I need and I love the preview window while I browse the menus.
I'll admit that I havn't really played with a tivo, and I'm sure there are many services that it has which I might like, but honestly, I'm very busy and Cox's DVR does everything I want, anything more would add to the indulgence.
What I WOULD like to see from Cox is an improvement to their video on demand. Its flaky at best. The few times that I tried to order a movie from them, the movie died out and no one from their side could figure it out and I've given up from doing that again, which sucks because the convienance is incredible. I don't have time to go to blockbuster/hollywood video (actually I long since gave up on them for many reasons). And I loved using netflix, but now I don't have time to watch as money movies as they send me, so its a waste. I just want to pick a movie every now and then and just pay for it, and video on demand is exacly that.
Before Cox decides on switching Tivo (can't wait for the price to increase, joy), they need to fix what they already have.
Its still like that, well for me anyways. Believe it or not, I (as do many many people) still play Warcraft 3. The reason? The custom maps and free online play. Their map editor is VERY powerful. With the power of allowing programming/scripting, the public have made some very interesting maps. Although innovation has slowed down, it seemed that nearly every week there was a new popular map that everyone rushed to go play.
Blizzard did a great job with W3. Free online gaming via bnet, and a great map builder that allows scripting......its like having infinite games with just this one game.
I used GoDaddy last year to host a website for my kid, and since I program in a MS shop, I chose a windows server. Wouldn't you know, it got hacked. No defacing, but I found a file inside my folder saying that I was hacked.
I immediatly switched to linux and no problems since. GoDaddy just lost a customer. Oh well, they were really slow anyways.
Well then. What are the top 10 problems that the userbase here feels are in the most need of being corrected? Don't know? Why not? Don't have the time for that? Why not? What resources are there to find this out?
And when/if you do, then what can you do to correct them? For example. One of the biggest problems I notice are dupes. Is this problem impossible to solve? Why?
Maybe you can tackle all your problems by iniating a clean up thread. Create a story and ask the users what they feel are the largest problems and solve the very top issues, that would make your life easier.
For example, people complain the most about dupes. I know that this is easy to solve and many many many people have offered suggestions and nothing has happened, why not?
But I'm still using Office 2000 and still havn't seen a single reason to upgrade. And as an IT manager I've kept our office running Office 2K and I've yet to see a single reason to continually update.
I'm not saying O2K is perfect, but to justify any cost to upgrade has to be significant, and I'm just not seeing it.....
I'm sorry sir, at first I was going to make two generalizations there, but decided to go with just one, and forgot to remove "either". I usually don't proofread my comments, thanks:)
In case anyone was wondering where they got the name "The Ocho" for the name of FireFox 2.0, I believe it was from the movie, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, where the station that was covering the dodgeball tournament was "ESPN 8" aka "the ocho".
I think it depends on what your reading or the context of the situation (ie school reading or casual).
I love audio books because I have a very demanding schedule and I just simply can't be in one spot and not be interrupted for very long. In terms of just casual reading, its great. I listened to the Davinci Code that way, and it was fun. However, I think its a little different when its either a required reading or something that you might need to recall for either work/school. I listened to book in that respect, and it was very difficult to recall everything. Mostly because I was distracted (hard to listen/read a book that you didn't want to read in the first place).
Distraction is the biggest problem. I found it very difficult to listen to an audio book in the car (I don't commute, so I have short trips, not much spent on the highway), and would easily get distracted. Listening at home was much easier, but I found that listening in the dark was the only way to either fully enjoy it or pat full attention.
Either way, I love audio books, and can't wait till more are available. Although, I'm sure when my schedule dies down, I think I might prefer actual reading, as to absorb more.....in the end it all depends on my schedule:/
Regardless of what you may feel about the technology they used, FEMA is trying to help people and even joking about taking down a site that is meant to HELP PEOPLE IN TROUBLE is fucked up,....

They're talking about creating a tigher integration between their new business line products and the existing/popular Office products.
Their new business line (Microsoft Dynamics)include an ERP (Axapta), an MRP (Great Plains), and a CRM. These are all very basic terms in business/IT.
Whats happening now is that they're finally integrating these products to work better with Office.
theres a fine line between doing a copy/paste and "researching"
so you did some reasearch within the 3 minute time frame from when the story posted and your comment?

Oh yeah, and by calling them "third world nations" really helps,....
I wish I had that sorta time to meta-wank all day.....
did you even look into that financial page that you linked?
hint: explore who the major holders are........

Where does it say that its definatly very NOT linux?
I'd rather have a better search rather than a bigger one....

I hope someone mods the parent down, because thats just stupid/ignorant.
I've been running MS SQL 2000 for about 4 years now and it has NEVER crashed. Nor has it corrupted any data or any other such destruction.
I notice that its people that either have _NO_ database experience tend to bash MSSQL, and they don't even know why. Your comment is a case in point.
Godamn are you confused. Click on the FireFox roadmap and you'll see that for 2.0 the code name for the project is "the ocho"
IHBT

dumbshit, it was uncyclopedia.org not wikipedia....

WTF?

I agree with the AC, you ARE an asshole.......
well said,....the parent poster was an arrogant prick who obviously isn't a real professional
and am definitely prejudiced against someone who puts them on their resume.
A bit extreme, no? I hope I never run into someone as arrogant as you in the work field,.....
Sucks when people like you thumb their noses at things that are so damn trivial....
