Be nice. The guy/gal might have been a Chinese government stooge, or simply someone too frightened to write the truth for fear of 10 years incarceration for simply objecting to an overhand communist policy.
You have to remember that the words of those "behind the curtain" need to be put into context... Tow The Line
Dude, isn't is obvious that this creature is obviously the representative of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and is applying His/Its/Whatever wrath upon Tin Cans?
Should we trivial humans restrict the FSM in his non living form (Tined spaghetti for children), is it not reasonable that his Chosen Representative also try to apply his holy can-opener upon us?
My biggest bugbear is simply keeping a system clean. When will Microsoft have the ability to completely clean/eradicate old software when my users ask for its deletion. Remove Programs is exactly that... it is not Remove Programs But Leave Folders Files and 600 Other Piles Of Cruft Lying Around To Clag Everything Up.
It is agitating having to blow peoples disks away every year or two just to get the registry/windows system/task manager/program files/My Documents, etc to a pared-back size.
Surely MS must be able to recognise every file and entry added as part of an install and subsequently remove it....
the ignorance of this statement is so profoundly absurd as to be laughable. It is truly scary that your own media has brainwashed you into believing such nonsense.
Its not even worth the time arguing against such a mentality. Perhaps you can use websites other than American media and you'll find how utterly wrong you are.
When will our governments, and consumers, realise that regionalisation is nothing more than a mechanism of creating continental price disparity and deliberate market manipulation? It has nothing to do with "costs" but maximising profits by restricting parallel imports. It does nothing for quality, or support....
Consumers should respond by simply not buying anything which is deliberately designed to support a cartel. They are only ripping themselves off (The Matrix: US $9.95... Aust $19.48)
Combined with DRM, how many months will we wait after the release of a fully DRM'ed Vista with hardware support before a company threatens its users with an OFF switch unless they pay their $2 per month DVD hardware "licencing" fee, or your CPU/RAM/HDD monthly "licencing" fee?
what a trivial problem. I run a biz with 16TB of RAID5 all online pumping out over *2TB per day*.
Crikey, if one small business can hammer it out, and have it all indexed and publicly available, while being massively redundant and impossible to crash, I'm certain that the bloody government can do it... unless they are incompetent....
Employment should be exactly that - you pay me to work for you for the duration of that work, just like a labourer... can you claim that one bricklayer cant work as a bricklayer on another job because I worked on your building site?
I was hit with the non-compete obscenity. It is absurd and disgusting that companies retrench people saying they are no longer required, yet hit them with non-competes at the same time.
Heavy MetalMS, you are a fool. I will take the liberty to point out why I'd hire an Indian outsourcer in capitals rather than you.
"I have first hand KNOWLEDGE of this. We had EXCHANGE STUDENTS from India at my Uni and OMFG (Yeah, like, oh my god, you know?) . They WERE on THEIR 4TH year they WERE at the the level we WERE 2 weeks in at year 1. Example: If there is a short on the WIRING board you do not use the current limiter to regulate the voltage. THAT'S like putting the PEDDLE to the floor and using the BRAKE to CONTROL the speed."
15 spelling errors. Like, OMG, duh, you know....
I officially classify you as the village idiot, and you should hang your head in shame at your ridiculous and lame assertion. If you are in 4th year, you should withdraw not before you ruin the bottom 5th percentile.
What I am reading here in this entire discussion is outright racism, pure and simple. Indian education is no worse than any other system in any other country, and claiming the US system is "superior" is simply rubbish.
Why is it rubbish? Because if there wasn't parity with quality, ragrdless of price, then US companies wouldn't be outsourcing its people... or are all here saying US companies are OK with receiving crap? (be careful here, because if this is your answer it means "you" must have been the most tollerable crap for the "old" price...)
As for price, isn't this the determinate of a strong competitive economy? Competitive... for an industry that is barely 15 years old... think about how dynamic this is!!!
Think of every industry.. cars, manufacturing, the very computer you are using, the shoes you are wearing... this competition keeps the costs down, but I'd bet you didn't buy locally made shoes...
Isn't the whole earth the USA? I was under the impression that every word, deed, and utterance was subject to USA law..... and this somehow changes things?
and... why does an Australian see this devious, duplicitious, nasty act as anything more than what would be expected out of any other backstabbing price gouging lawyer-empolying typical firm?
Australia is the dumping ground of vicious IP. The USA is second rate compared to ours, for we stil have the meat still between our teeth!.
If you wish to see the most visious blood baths of stageringly high cost litigation, simply review any NSW case in the past 18 months.

So... now that he has his 10 programmers, is he going to write really good software???

The octopi/-podes/-uses eyeball is surely proof that an intelligent designer made everything some time just before last Wednesday (or there abouts).

The US is not the only country in the world. Check an atlas, its true!!

Refuse to pay? OFF.
