BlueRay will die a slow death just like every other overly expensive Sony proprietary format.
HD-DVD will win easily because it's easier to explain to Joe Sixpack that HD-DVD goes with his HDTV. BlueRay means nothing (Is that something like a Manta?)
"It's a ploy to connect the NSA's phone records with your identity."
Wow, that makes me feel really paranoid, cause it's probably true. What a cheap way to get the numbers and people correlated. Peanuts. And you'll be sure that almost everyone will jump right in line to get their refunds. People love refunds. Full disclosure of every phone number you can get $18 for.
If you go all the way back to the ColecoVision, it had an emulator plugin that would let you play Atari 2600 games. (As well as the Adam plugin which turned it into (Yet Another) 8-bit 6502-based computer (Like the Apple II, Atari 400/800, Commodore VIC-20 & C64 (Which had an improved 6502, the 6510)))
Yes, just click the super convenient and easy-to-find "Activate Auditing" checkbox, right?
Nothing more fun than mucking around with the advanced file permission settings, even more fun to turn it on the registry using the super-ugly regedt32. Sure, I know how to do it, but what a pain to try to explain it to a Joe Sixpack user. And even more fun to sit there staring at the screen for minutes on end while these changes are actually being made to each key, every time you want to turn it on or off.
Mega-pain. Auditing as it's currently implemented is a bunch of shit. It should be in the Event Viewer under the Security node. I mean, that's where you go to view the audits, so why shouldn't it also be controlled from there?
You can definitely tell auditing was an afterthought in Windows. What a staple and duct-tape job they did.
I dunno, something's lost without the coins. Not like I'm a big gambler, but you've lost me as a customer. Even if it's just a lame bucket of nickels or quarters, a bucket of quarters is a lot more fun that carrying a receipt around. Don't get other people looking up and saying "Ooh, big winner!!" when you walk by with a piece of paper instead.
Your customer service is great. Don't know what that's got to do with coins however.:)
Still have to wait in line for a cashier to turn your piece of paper into cash.
Also, unless I win enough to have to pay taxes on my winnings, I don't WANT my money tracked. (Not like I really want it to be tracked if I win enough either.)
Was this a requirement from Iowa Dept of Rev or just so that you can save a percentage by not handling coins?
How about some machines still using coins? See which machines get used more...
Horseshoe: My car (just bought it a few days before this happened) got taken for a joyride by some punk kids. They ditched it at Horseshoe the next day. Car still had InTransits on it (With my name and phone number on them). Your dumbass security guys instead of calling me, call some shitty towing company who hangs onto it for the full 21 days allowed by Iowa law before notifying me, so they can collect their fucking $20/day storage fee. Fucking dickheads. I give a full negative to your customer service there. Absolute bullshit. Thanks a lot.
WTF is that supposed to mean? And I suppose in your egocentric fantasies you would be the sole arbitrator of who 'deserves' such things?
And the place I was talking about actually used greenscreen emulators for their enterprise-wide change control system which was so pathetic it couldn't handle recurring tasks, couldn't send or receive emails, and all event titles had to be 8 characters or less. So they weren't stuck on whether the users 'deserved' better, but their development mentality was stuck in the 1970s.
Let's see how many people here have read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (Where SEP comes from) compared to the number of people who know of "the lyrical jubilee that is Naught By Nature"...
Oh, I think HHGG winds by a couple orders of magnitude.
There's GenXrs who were born before CINEMA?? Where?
I don't fear rap, I just think it's pathetic. Bad poetry accented with a drum. The same drum over and over. Fucking boring.

So WTF is with Harrah's in Council Bluffs, IA changing all their machines so they give paper receipts instead of the expected coins?
Coins clinking in the tray when you win is part of the expected experience. First time I went there and got a piece of paper instead of a thing full of quarters was the last time I went there.
Sure, maintaining the coin dispenser has to cost money, but that's a cost of doing business. Not any fun to get a stupid piece of paper. I'm out.
> If you're in a company with 27,000 employees, and you don't know anyone who doesn't despise Notes, then your company desperately needs som new Notes developers.
How very true, but what does new developers have to do with people hating Notes? Don't need any developers for people to hate Notes.
Oh really? When you hit Delete - does it actually move the damn message out of the fucking inbox or does it just stick a trashcan icon next to it?
Face it 99% of Notes users use it only for email. No matter how good the groupware part of it is, if the email client isn't Outlook-ish, people are not going to like it. Especially with the stupid Notes tweaks like the aforementioned trash icon. Ugly lame and stupid. Inboxs should be tidy, not filled with Oscar-homes.
Sure, it's a great groupware product, but an absolutely pathetic email solution. Ugly fucked up interface. One of the things I ask in an interview is if the company uses Notes. If they do, they get ratcheted down the list as I've found that every company that uses Notes has turned out to be a really crappy place to work. Points out that the company is stuck in the past and cannot embrace change. Chuggy lame greenscreen-using companies. Bleh.

Wait for the current generation of legacy-free kids to grow up, they'll be posting "Never used a computer that actually had an A; or a B:"...
OK, we all know you have a small plank, but you don't need to tell everyone...

+10 Insightful for that posting.
Talk about shooting fish in a barrel. SharePoint vs sucky ass Notes. Of course Notes loses. Anything loses.
Right up there with Jehovah's Witnesses making fun of Catholic dogma.
In what days?

Great information (seriously!)
But HELL NO, I'm not going through that many contortions just to use the machine. No way.
Wow, there are real security people?
Every one I've ever encountered are the *Monkey Noise* "Ooh lookie! BugTraq sent out a new 'sploit!! Oooh oooh!!" *Monkey Noise* *Monkey Noise* types.
They always say 'sploit cause they think it makes them sound cool.
One of them grew a big orange beard because he doesn't have a chin.

You mean
"If you WERE using version 6.0 or NEWER it would move to the (INBOX?)"
Wow, 6 versions to get deleted mail to go from the inbox to the inbox? Wow.
Actually, I'm not using version 6.0 or newer. I'm not using it at all.
