It's not that one has to chose between enduring such annoyances or being unemployed, except when the annoying asshole is the PHB. But that should be unlikely, as the PHB sits in an office, not a cubicle.
It was either that, or starve my kids and lose my house.
If it does not (technically) matter, where you get your work done, there is no need to drive so far, so why should you have less to eat for your kids?

tiny little things in life
Man, you must have a troublesome life! For me having to work next to such an asshole without the least knowledge of courtesy would be a major annoyance.
The goal is to stimulate open-source development for other applications of the chip.
MS does everything they can to constrain this, wile IBM endorses it. And even then, if you look at the Xbox Mediacenter, the results are not bad at all.
If you shoplift a CD, the shop's owner suffers a loss of his purchase price. He has less than he had before the shoplift.
If you download the same album from the net, nobody has less than before. And a loss could only occur when you'd have bought the CD if it was not possible to download.
So, it should be less punishable instead of much more. But I guess that the shop owners did not pay your politicians as much as the RIAA has.
I dislike software that invades my system almost like the Real stuff. So, for the occasional.mov file, I install Quicktime Alternative and have absolutely no need for Apple's Quicktime anymore.
Has anyone found out how to run iTunes without Quicktime?
iTunes supports FLAC, OGG, and any other format for which there is a QuickTime plug-in.
Oh, thank you for pointing out one more huge PITA in iTunes: it installs QT, even without asking, and ceases to work for no reason if you remove this useless annoyancy called Qicktime.
This is intentional.
That would make it even worse. What kind of an idiot must one be to leave the handling of an internal database to some external software instead of implementing it in the iPod?
You could easily write a program that lets you just drop songs on it from your filesystem, which will automatically copy them to the iPod, and update the database.
No need for it, because when I have to install a program, I could install iTunes. If Apple hadn't been so braindead, you would not need any software at all, you'd just connect your iPod and put music files in the music folder.
iTunes could do a great job for me, if Apple didn't miss to implement support for FLAC, Musepack, Monkey's Audio and some other formats.
Unfortunately Apple made the design flaw that you can't simply drag audio files in a special folder and they are useable, so I have to install iTunes to put music on my iPod.
The crusades and (christian) faith are entirely different things, although the latter was horrently abused by the former.
Where did I say anything against faith? Ist just stated the fact that the crusades were "just" a gigantic rape, pillage and plunder tour, which was put under the sign of the cross for justification and other purposes.
Nothing is wrong with using a TV so you can take college classes from someone on a different continent. There is something wrong when you use TV to show sex,
College classes are fine, you can learn something there. Sex is also fine, it's fun and can make babies. Why should one thing be ok to show on TV, and the other not?
I know it's not realistic though, that would never happen in real life.
Yeah, in real life they'd plunder your house, rape your wife and daughter, kill your grandparents and then ask you to convert, because they are so nice people and JC tells you to forgive them. At least that's how the crusaders did it in the middle east.
Yes, and the last time I saw one, sheep were pretty much made of wetware, not hardware. Unless we talk about the sheep being counted by sleepless androids.:-)
From looking at the pictures, I was completely unable to comprehend where to put the fruit inside this juice maker and how it would get the juice out of the fruit. Someone here willing to give me some enlightenment?

What would you call a major annoyance?
Now THAT's insanity.
Insight is the first step to improvement. But why did you even start such an idiocy?

I RTFA, but was not able to fathom what it is talking about. And what is an ARG?
physical activity you enjoy (rock climbing, yoga, swimming, sex, etc.)
Are you talking about activities or dreams?
There must be a way, because nobody will buy a non-online game you can't play without being online.
It's Colonel Carter, we're in season 8 already!
No, you can't. You could, if there were idiots around who'd buy these versions.
I'll point out the difference for you:
If you shoplift a CD, the shop's owner suffers a loss of his purchase price. He has less than he had before the shoplift.
If you download the same album from the net, nobody has less than before. And a loss could only occur when you'd have bought the CD if it was not possible to download.

Does this mean that my whish for the Remote Strangulation Protocol can finally be fulfilled?
*sigh* A pity that Apple didn't just compile the audio playing functionality from QT into iTunes.

Good thing that you can't forge you IP, eh?

WTF would prefer the lousy flickering interlaced picture just because of the higher resolution?
It's a big enough shame that this crap has found it's way into the HDTV specs, but WTF does someone use it?!?
I wonder that it took so long until someone saw the enormous potential to make money in sticking $RELIGION stickers on computer games.
