    Nice you glanced at the wiki page. That must make you such an authority on the subject.

    Here was the first libertarian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_D%C3%A9jacque

    You will note he was a pretty far left and long before your time.

    Why not just be a big boy and forgo this hand holding software?

    Left libertarianism existed before the kind you love so much. It is more like saying anarcho-communist, which also exists. Before you you respond go educate yourself.

    Not at all. You need to think more.

    For instance a monopoly provider of X can decide not to serve group Y. That is just a really simple one. I suggest you go look up left libertarianism and learn more.

    These people mean Microsoft SQL server, as though that is the only one. They will also be very afraid if they ever have to use the keyboard instead of a mouse.

  7. Re:fresh grad as network admin on Ask Slashdot: Getting Exchange and SQL Experience? · · Score: 1

    What irks me is that they call them network admins. At best they are system operators. When kiddo learns scripting, automation and all that jazz then he can be a sysadmin.

    Network admin should be someone dealing with Networking devices.

    Sure, but they can just rendition you to some hell hole rather than prosecute you.

    I have never select a physician based on who I can relate to or their knowledge. I do not care about the first and am not fit to judge the latter.

    If by insane you mean the price the market dictates you would be correct.

    Fun fact, the price the market dictates is the price the market dictates. If you want cheaper workers, go hire in fly over country.

    The problem is they have historically sacrificed everything for windows desktop. Office could be running on other platforms, but it won't for that reason.

    The OSX version should not even be called office, since it lacks so many corporate features like Excel services.

  14. Re:How many thumb drives did the lawyers get? on Class Action Suit Goodies Await Tech Users · · Score: 1

    I agree on the first point and disagree on the second. Like unions they are fast becoming nerfed to the point of uselessness. Class actions and unions benefit all of society and are being castrated by the corporations to ensure they are no longer a hindrance. Your idea that they have grown when they shrank like unions is like the effect of the media you consume. I urge you to turn to actual statistics instead.

    Pretty much all one sided contracts, like cell phones now include verbiage forbidding class action suits.

    Which is a feature not a bug.

    They did the work, and they took the risk. They also made it possible for a company to be punished without requiring people to spend a day at a courthouse for a minor damage. If class actions were not available then any company could rip off its customers so long as it kept that theft below the amount that would motivate most folks to go to court.

    Good, the lawyers did the work.

    The whole point of class actions is to make small individual claims able to be handled by the courts. No one is going to sue Papa Johns for $50. Papa Johns got a nice $25 per customer punishment.

    The law requires the first two as well. Ideally it would require vacations as well.

    You should tell you boss to buy you a new computer, or are you a masochist?

    Windows 98SE was bad enough when it was new, it must really suck to use today. Heck, I bet most webpages would take ages to load.

    Take a voltage meter to one, an Alkaline cell new out of the box will be closer to 1.6 than 1.43.

    If that chart is making these claims I would be very suspect of it. Besides open circuit voltage is a terrible way to name a battery, voltage at X amps would be way more useful.

    I do not check my email when I am not on the clock.
    When not on call I even turn it off or put it in airplane mode quite frequently. Having a smartphone means I don't have to go back to the car for my laptop when something breaks. The monitoring system sends text messages, that again I only have notification turned on for when I am on call.

    Some people can't do that.
    I would then have to carry a laptop around when on call. More likely just all the time.

    I meant right now. Also odds are each state will have their own free service, and vendors will be essentially forced to pay an intermediary which creates a single standard web service.

    Unless you force all the states to use the same API that is what will happen.

    Probably, but this is not a panel issue.
    The problem with these is the low quality backlights.
    Not sure where they get them, but decent QA would have found the issue and selected a different vendor.
