The online tax services are just as good for 90% of people out there. most people can file free now. Plus you don't get left with outdated and useles software after April 15th.

Joltage Powers Down
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Yeah, well who is saying that growing up in a world of customer service is bad....I think this was a cop out comment because Joltage provided little to NONE! Their message board system only worked half the time and the answers were vague to stupid. When YOUR software wouldn't install I was instructed to reinstall my server.....that is a typical Microsoft answer. It was lame too. The other problem was this garbage was written in Java. Hopefully someone will come along and properly implement a windows service that does what Joltage promised....but actually works!
and exactly what kind of file format can this tag be imbedded into? in order for it to work you have to have a transport medium. Yet another brilliant idea from the people who brought us Hillary Rosen.
It's the only way phone companies can really strike out at cable companies. Makes it interesting though...what if they did broadband bonding where you could get data down both the sat and the DSL line? This could certainly make inroads in the rural customer segment.
yeah, and we all know that standards are so good at keeping up with the latest and greatest technologies........if we all had to conform to standards, would still be in use
like, how am I going to boot to a prompt to flash a BIOS? I know dell can do away with floppies cause they probably have some CD boot flash program, but not the rest of us who build our own PCs.
I think this explains a great social experiment

People like to control simulations of other people, but they don't like having to interact with other real people and not be able to control them.
Answer, people like to play god, so make more simgle player god games.
Thanks for taking credit for question #3. I would have been unable to handle taking the credit for coming up with it first and seeing it modded up to 5 first. Again, thanks.
I thought with spring just around the corner you were really posting something about gardening! Now I'll have to figure out the proper way to plant my gardenias somewhere else!
....the big 3 ISPs have seen the writing on the wall for a LONG time, yet they continued to expand their POTS infrastructure...ESPECIALLY earthlink. They better figure it out really freaking quick that when users find out that they can work just a little harder to find the same content through a non-branded ISP, they are going to drop their asses in droves. Looks like they already are. AOL has the potential infrastructure through Time Warner Cable...Earthlink has been able to finesse some cable sharing deals, but MSN going the DSL only branding route is going to lose if they don't sign some cable sharing deals.
I wondered about this about LOTR for instance....I heard that Peter Jackson had a lot of hard core violence shots done but they fell on the cutting room floor to get a PG-13 version. If I buy a DVD I want it to be as good as it gets...even if that means an R version. Bring on the spilled orc guts.
....the review that I saw over at Tom's hardware had this thing as some sort of 2-card incarnation. Call me old fashioned but didn't this 2 card crap always fail? I mean...that is like sooooo 3Dfx.
And when coke turns from the darkside and releases it's formula they'll be redeemed too....you fucks. When will you ever figure out that the people with te secrets are the ones that make money. No secrets, no money.
This is what happens when you have too much money

Phantom Game Console

Instead of throwing away money to a doomed console, why not throw money behind a good game development company that writes games for existing (and successful consoles). I'd rather see someone take on Electronic Arts than try to take on 3 console companies.
You freaking dork....if they set their prices the same amount in each currency they'd lose billions. Just think if they charged 199 pesos for XP in Mexico as they charge $199 here. How many companies do you know that wouldn't figure out a way to buy all of their software in Mexico? How utterly retarded.
Citizen: "so now how do I use your system to sign up for health benefits and other social benefit programs?"
Gov:....dead silence....then "RTFM! Geez, don't you people know anything?!?! You probably use AOL or something...ROTFLHRHARHARHRA...you are just a Windoze user and not one of us l334 open source people"
Citizen: "Time to move"
How have you been able to maintain current skill sets while you were in the clink and after you got out? Is there any one skill set (programming, etc) that you plan to get current on?

hahaha, that's funny. I wonder how many people said that about Enron back in 2000.

actually I'd say it's the only thing good about the post :)
We'll be able to shut down their 2 ATMs and reboot all of those illegally imported PS2s....that should crush them.

When you are sleep at night it bends you over and gives you a good ass pumpin without even the courtesy of a reach around.

Wow I would have never guessed! So I guess all that Anti-MS/Pro-Linux stuff isn't PR.
