Employer: I'm sorry sir you don't have a big enough cache for our needs. We are going to have to let you go. Employee: Man this blows i would be really upset but i forgot what you just said.
I don't know about the rest of you, but i would love to see Penn and Teller's view on outsourcing. I recommend everyone watch their show Penn & Teller's Bullshit. Im actually surprised they offer great insight to things people think they know about. This show has given me many facts and insights into disagreements i have had with many in the past. They put into words and supported it with facts what i have said to others about many things before.
Less than one minute after posting the story, and not proofreading it. There is an update correcting an obivious mistake. I'm surprised that you corrected it that quickly.
Hello, uh boss im kinda stuck in traffic; *honking noise* whats that, i missed the meeting. Darn, i guess i will just have to get the details later. *goes back to playing GTA Vice city*
I just opened a few word documents i have on my computer and apparently i have this option to track changes turned off by default. What kind of moron would turn on such a feature? Im pretty sure i didn't turn it off, and had forgotten the feature had existed until this article.
Oh well sucks to be stupid like SCO. How many stupid things have they done now? I don't think i can count it on both hands anymore.
Why?,
*Sob*,
why does this always happen to products that include technology that is still highly experimental.
*Sob* Why don't they just say we are scheduling a totally unrealistic release date to make our competitors anxious, and to make our potential customers mad for not hitting a deadline we had no intention of keeping.
*Sob*
Sarcasism isn't something that can be taught it is a gift.
-4 50% offtopic / 50% flamebait, come on you know you want to.
What a great idea! We could call the enabling legislation the "Divorce Lawyers' Lifetime Employment Act'!
You would think divorce lawyers would have less employment opportunities if polygamists were allow to marry. The reasoning is simple, the more of the opposite sex that are in-home, the less you need to stroll the streets looking for them. I mean come on, what percentage of men have cheated on their wives... hrmm.... 70% you say? maybe? The sanctity of marrige is a joke, and the joke is on those who think its sanctity isn't violated on a daliy basis for no better reason than the desire for money/sex/insert random reason here.
I have never been married, nor do i want to be married, the filth that is called marriage now is not for me.
BTW i do not engage in any of the above mentioned acts, nor do i promote them. I am just a student of human nature, and as such refuse to be confined by it.
I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up?
May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the really stupid intern who did not license the music from the original artist please stand up?

We're going to have a problem here..
Y'all act like you never seen a slashdotter before
Jaws all on the floor like Intel, like AMD just burst in the door
and started whoopin their ass worse than before
they first were..... i think ill stop before ruffle any more feathers.
Please im not funny so make sure to mod me down to -3 offtopic, thanks again!
you are correct, but are missing a key issue here. The way it works now is amd pays intel for the "intellectual property" they use, but the agreement favors intel as they don't have to pay amd for copying their technology. Don't you just love our legal system?
Lets take a reasonable fair look at both sides. I myself am slightly biased against macs because i don't seem to be compatible with them but that is another story.
Many people are saying that the G5 "Rules" cause it is a 64 bit chip, and granted it is. There are also the AMD fanboys myself included that say, "hey we had the first desktop 64bit processor and ours kicks your G5 to the curb." Also there are the intel automatons that say, "man apple computers sucks man they can't touch the P4/XEON performace wise." Which depending on the facts given, any one of these could be seen as correct (most likely not the last one).
Then there are those who say, "that apples are the best because we have a unix based OS that is sooo user friendly." The PC (L)users like myself say, "there are more applications and games written for our OS, you will be assimilated." Last but not least, there are the linux-geeks who say, "we have the best of both worlds we have a unix-like OS that is completely reconfigurable and runs some windows apps if we want it to and has a community of geeks behind it, so our OS is l337." Which there are major facts and opinions that support any of these claims, minus the assimilation part, and either way you look at there are tradeoffs for the OS you use.
Then there are the benchmarkers who say, "Look at this G5/Opteron/P4 it totally outscores the others, in my totally unrealistic and unrepeatable and highly illogical benchmarking procedure." Also there are benchmarkers that listen to the whiners and try to compare the apples to oranges to watermelons to pear to peaches over and over again, and are flamed cause the G5/Opteron/P4 was the winner and it is against their "religion."
The trouble with 64bit computering is you need 64bit everything in order to reap the maximum reward. Not every app on every platform has the exact same coding and drivers and hardware supporting it. There are going to be differences and they will vary widely.
From what i have discerned from all this inane babble is that the G5 is indeed a worthly processor and people do like the OS that supports it (i do not). Also the opteron/Athlon 64 chip is indeed just as fast if not faster (code permitting) than the G5, the crown passing between the 2 based on what your running and how optomized it is. But that leaves us with the poor old P4/Xeon, which even though it has a 1-2Ghz lead on its competitors, is just competing with them. This is my opinion and i base it all the stuff i have read on the issues. Show me an unbiased review, ha you ain't going to find one, and i might change my mind.
To sum this up people need to stop listening to what they are told, if they won't actually hear what people are saying.

Only cowards would resort to blending into the civilian population as a means to kill your enemy.
Personally i just wish people would stop supporting a murderous dictator like saddam hussein, and realize that america is not as evil as you people seem to think. Though without proper checks and balances it won't be long till it will become so.
you sound like that little voice in the back of my head telling me that no i can't eat my cake, and have it too. Anybody can have their cake, and eat it too. The real trick is to eat your can and still have it, and i think that is what i want and will never have.
P.S. I love the word "and" it used to drive my english teachers crazy how complex my sentences would be, and how that even though they conveyed multiple points i somehow managed to link them together with the use of "and" and other ingenious ways of using words how they were never meant to be used, and it all sort of made sense, until i realized that maybe i should and could possibly contain my ideas in shorter form, but i would lose alot of my original meaning. (yes in my mind that is all one sentence GRAMMER be DAMNED)

Hmm.. It seems Intel wants to bolster their image as of late. I guess AMD has them shaking in their boots.
