Don't worry, if anyone goes to court and tells the judge he got his investment advice from slashdot, he'll only stay in court as long as it takes the judge to get over his laughing fit.
Either the people in charge at AOL were brilliant, or the people in charge at Time-Warner were exceptionally stupid, based on that merger. Although, come to think of it, I knew some management types who used to be at Time, and they would be arguments for the latter possibility.
Speaking of which, the whole episode could have been handily avoided with a 'you don't take your cell phone to church' rule. If he's gonna drag her there against her will, what difference is another edict from Dad gonna make?
That happened at a church dinner a friend of mine went to, too. Hate to break this to you, but it looks like all of a sudden a lot of ministers think they're Carrot Top.
Should have said 'grow their legal departments', sorry. Remember, just because we don't like it, don't think kids in law school aren't salivating over this brave new world Darl et al are creating for them.
Better than Grisham, eh?

That's like saying 'the dinner you prepared was better than the saran-wrapped egg salad sandwhich I got at 7-11 for lunch'.
Support contacted me and helped me out. I was able to download all my tracks eventually, but the 'zipped order' approach didn't work for anything, so I had to download things individually. A good idea, but the user experience aspect of it has a way to go yet. But they did make an effort and did not stiff me. I'm sure Wal-Mart would have told me to get fucked.
I too was using Mozilla and paid with Paypal, but it disappeared into a white blank page while 'zipping'. Afterwards there was no record of my order. At first I liked the idea, but the bastards robbed me. Itunes has never stiffed me like that.
Gotta agree, who's first really doesn't matter to me, I'm just happy to be able to get the old 'Artificial Intelligence' comp to replace my old cassette tape of it. I haven't seen it in record stores lately.
Morningstar's article was useful because it does ultimately help the non-academic-postmodern type understand deconstruction. This is useful because contrary to his assertion that academics are in their own world and don't want anything to do with the rest of us, many of them are subject to the same economic pressures we engineers and techies are, causing some of these ideas to drift gradually away from the academic world into the mainstream, and this will help us understand these ideas when we encounter them.
In the end, though, it might be easier and every bit as effective to just continue assuming all the marketing types are on crack.
Misconception 2 - Indians are not innovative.
One of the aspects of being in a developing world is that budgets for research and development are always very hard to come by.. But not any more. Indian companies are throwing money at research and development now...Everyone here knows that the service industry for pure outsourcing cannot last for ever.. So there is a desire to innovate and get into new areas.. to innovate as much as possible when money is not a problem.
That's a good point. It's also worth noting that nothing spurs innovation and creativity like scarcity of resources (monetary or otherwise).
I do know that, but thanks for the lecture, Li'l Professor. I guess I should be grateful you left out the parts about scratching symbols on stones to keep track of crops, anyway.
That's nice, the problem is something like 99% of IT people don't work for innovative software companies. They work for banks or insurance companies or pharmas or telecoms or whatever.
No, there would soon be a somewhat dodgy Linux open source version of the game released allowing users to change the offending operating system to whatever you want (kill the BeOS users!).

Spelling bees are where I redeemed myself for sucking at every sport imaginable.
Of course, now they probably discourage competitions with 'winners' and 'losers' in sports as well.

OK, enough bragging about the French girlfriend, you're going to upset the other slashdotters.
They will say it's a security patch so the masses will unquestioningly install. Security meaning job security...
Wow, I could sure go for a Coke now.
Yeah, it doesn't take into account if the enemy of your enemy is Mikey...he hates EVERYTHING.

Oh, wait a minute, I was listening to rap music, that was part of the song. Never mind.
Everybody say hotel, motel, Holiday Inn....
Ever been to Toronto? It's not all white people there.

Thanks for re-affirming my assumption that most people on Slashdot, imperfect as they may be, are at least capable of reading for comprehension.

I have an (admittedly somewhat old) install of Red Hat on there too, so the machine itself is still usable at least.
Some of us leave the cell phone off.
What do you mean, 'starting to'? Or is your post itself a re-post?
