This gesture is far more useful to those who are "stuck" with an end-of-lined server. If there are flaws with the software (and with Raqs, there are always a few that creep out over time), the admins can do the fixes themselves.
I really doubt that anyone is going to use the Raq software to start a new project when there are cheap, well-exercised alternatives on the market.
There is no problem with my comment. Offshore coders get paid. Napkin makers get paid. Those who make commodities get paid, but margins are slimmer than for items that take more skill to make.
If you are in a market which is being commoditized, you can't expect: a) to make a lot of money b) that people in other countries won't compete with you
All of these products are bought and sold by people who have learned to survive within the tough commodity market. The way to survive there is to keep costs low. If the US prices itself out of that market, it should either cut its costs or chase after a newer, more lucrative market.
Why not complain about the textile jobs lost to foreign countries? Are you wearing clothing made in the USA?
Why not complain about the fact that you can't buy american-made gasoline?
The truth is that, over time, certain products become cheaper or more expensive as they become easier or harder to provide. You have to get a grip and get used to this.
Consider McDonalds. If you go in, you can take a napkin for free. 300 years ago, a napkin was a much more valuable thing. They wouldn't give them away. Somewhere along the line, it became easy enough to make them that they lost their value. The same thing is happening in the computer software and support industry. If someone can do it as well (the tough part) and more cheaply, than they will have a market. The napkin makers got over it. So should you.
It doesn't beg the question. "Begging the question" is making a logical argument that depends on the assumption of that argument's truth as a pillar of that argument.
Instead of "begging the question" it just "makes you want to ask".
The Atkins diet puts your body in a state of ketosis. This is *not* good.
You don't know what you're talking about. Ketosis is the burning of fat, and the usage of ketones to fuel the body. It is the opposite of fat storage. We have evolved to store fat, and to burn it. When we are in ketosis, we burn fat and use ketones to fuel our activity.
We're pleased to be dumping Mozilla, er, forming the Mozilla Foundation. This money pit, er, worthy cause is something we'd love to see the back of, er support.
There is no guarantee that the "formatted index of all links" is accurate, or up-to-date. Amazon wants to make sure that every single amazon affiliate link meets their criteria.
Your solution would work only for the intelligent and diligent and lucky. There are many Amazon affiliates who are neither.
If you have something that's broken, and you need its functionality soon, and don't have a fucking clue as to what's wrong with it, you might want to replace it.
It may not be the right way to do it, but they're running a hospital, and might not have the time to let their network people puzzle it out.
"If you want to stop the calls, don't buy anything"
You mean if I stop buying stuff, all telemarketing will end? I didn't realize I played such a pivotal role in all of this. I thought that the thousands of losers who actually bought stuff from telemarketers had some sway, too.
It may be funny, but it's funnier still that you had to tell the moderators that it was funny.

If you advertise on Ebay that you are selling a CD, then ship a CD-R, the purchase might (quite justifiably) accuse you of misrepresenting what you've sold, and give you negative feedback.

www is the subdomain, actually, which maps onto a host.
there are cheap, well-exercised alternatives on the market.
If you want to use code to do a server appliance, you'd get further, faster using something like Webmin.

You should learn what "commoditization" means.

That's pretty funny. Actually, too funny.
Humour beyond Beowulf cluser "jokes" is wasted on this site.

Instead of "begging the question" it just "makes you want to ask".
That's the lame excuse offered by lazy people who don't want to learn their own language.
... to publish a paper called "Xen And The Art of Virtualization".
Metaphors use "like or as".
You're busted, too pal.

"Begging the question" is when you make a point, but have to accept the point before the logic that you use makes sense.
If you are going to correct someone, at least learn how to spell the term correctly. It's "levy".

My rule has been always try to stay current and not comfortable. If you feel comfortable, then you are on the way out of a job. ...
I live very comfortably.
I'd suggest you pick one story, and stick with it.
You can look back on a lifetime of discomfort and wonder what exactly it was that you were thinking...
If everyone had a cell phone with an appropriate modem for their device, there'd be no need for WiFi hostspots...

It's a shame that it isn't .JSP based, or it might be of some relevance here.

Thanks for setting me straight.
You saw lots of punk shows. You're old. L.A. used to be fun.
A list does not a post make.
And, yes, I saw lots of the bands on your list, too.
