This is my business and our claim to fame is cost of delivery based on OSS toolkits to some extent. When we can't use them any more we'll just license commercial tools and pass the cost on you AS WILL EVERYONE ELSE, or, better yet we'll all the work remotely from a foreign country in lieu of hiring you silly Brits locally.
Good luck with that. And it's hard to believe you lost the Empire. B>)
Cmon people. Officer Quanisha never even looks up when she grabs your boarding pass and most of the people on the Xray line are too busy admiring their shaved heads and shuttling those plastic grey buckets around to pay attention. When I fly I automatically go into stone face killer mode. Completely blank stare, non acknowledgment of chit chat questions at all. And since my company defines cheap-ass, I ALWAYS wind up with 4 one way tickets which, like everything else on the planet is another red flag anyway.
All I can say is that for a he-man image they like to project, all the TSA assholes in Texas LOVE to reach into my pants and cup my balls. So fuck you faggots and I hope you fucking die of bone cancer, every last motherfucking one of you. That's pretty much what MY facial expression conveys, assholes.
I wonder if there is some way to bootstrap this to get the price of high function cell phones down? After all the high end HTC phones are little more than palmtop computers that have a phone instead of a modem and NIC.
Now when you go to the library you get to hear squalling children and soccermoms chatting with each other. All they need is a Starbucks inside the library to complete it. Free WiFi is nice though - what with all the coffee bars going T-Mobile.
Half of you neoLibertarians cheered when companies started firing employees who smoke at home. It's all about the holy dollar. Control is just a tool to whittle down the pool of candidates they can screw. Believe me - I work for a huge company that's been embroiled in so many age discrimination lawsuits that now they just treat everyone like shit and hope that the older workers quit on their own. Young early career people tend to care less because they figure, somewhat accurately, that they have more job mobility if they quit or get fired.
In India scooters outsell cars 6:1. For any family, getting to an outing requires several trips if they own a scooter. Even if they're crazy and put 2 adults and 2 kids on it. The Tata car is built to infuse that market with a cheap car that can compete on price with getting another scooter and all the troubles associated with being out in the open.
See in India you can already buy a Bajaj 3-wheeler aka motor rickshaw that seats 4 or 5 or more. But they're fairly expensive and they're not really cars per se - they're rickshaws. I may get one myself if gas gets expensive enough. They're registered as motorcycles in the US. And with an 8.5hp engine, max speed about 45mph it's a great around town vehicle.
I have users who don't know what rebooting is or how to turn off the computer and back on again. I have users who don't know how to click on a collapsed menu list in Seamonkey mail to make it 'magically' appear. I have users who have created EVERY single document they have ever worked on in a SINGLE document in MS Word that goes on for thousands of pages.
These people are not retarded. They are attorneys and all of them are women. You can scream at me about that but it's fact. Some people go out of their way to become intentionally helpless when it suits them to feel good about their 'professional' skills at the expense of our mere 'technical' skills.
I mean how much fidelity do you need to listen to Lil Wayne? Niggaz bitches hos mo money mo problem guns and niggaz an rock and bitches fuck mah bitches nigga nigga what?
It's about break-even. Today flying is faster if your trip is about 700 miles or more. Less than that and you're better off driving. It's cheaper and faster.
Seriously. We need to call their bluff and say OK - we won't fly it's too dangerous, too complex, too error prone, too late too expensive and too crappy. Sorry TSA dudes - you win.
I retrofitted Seamonkey onto all my users who absolutely would not move from 'Netscape' after NS8 dropped an integrated mail client. I looked with interest in returning to NS9 but still no mail client and there were some notes on Netscape's web page that there was a mail client in beta. But I guess that's dead. In either case, for NS groupies and the untrainable who absolutely CANNOT learn anything new Seamonkey is a good option. It handles multiuser profiles better than FF/T-Bird and it incorporates most of the extensions used in FF as well including IEtab. There's even an NS theme (No throbber though). In fact I have better time with complex webpages that use a lot of Flash using Seamonkey compared to FF even with IE tab.
Not just research - which at this point is almost wasted since morbidity and mortality from Breast CA leveled out more than decade ago - no the total outlay for screening, treatment, surgery, support etc etc etc etc etg. Even the DoD spends between 1 and 2 billion dollars a year in support of breast cancer.
The stock is negative 30% since 2000. Ok it's up a bit from the bottom this year so we'll give him that. In the meantime Sam Palmisano I'm sure is wishing for his entire Unites States workforce to quit and then die, for Christmas.
Someone needs a nap. Or meds. Or maybe a spanking. In any case case my benchmark programs yield almost the same performance in terms of responsiveness between an old IBM PL30GL with a Pentium 3 550 & 384MB RAM running W2K and my Lenovo N3000-768 laptop running Vista. And Vista really doesn't bring THAT much more to the table. Unless you get wood over new 3D effect and a BRAND NEW menu bar.
Oh wait, maybe you do - BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING ASSHOLE. So - take your nap, or your Paxil or have your top beat you, whatever the fuck it is you need. Thank you and have a nice day.
Standard operating practice for Redmond is to rollout each new OS with a strict requirement that bumps up against the current hardware maximum generally available. Just because Vista can't address 4GB doesn't mean they can't check for it and require it anyway. Redmond and hardware companies have always had an incestuous relationship - a more than gentleman's agreement that hardware and software will bloat up hand in hand. Everyone knows that.

To download and buffer an 8.4GB DVD? And how long does that take?

"Productivity" is great if they reward you. Otherwise it's just more fucking slavery.
And they will tell you that no matter what, they're old, and they can't manage anything.
And the postal service as well. And talking.

We spend 15x more on breast cancer treatment and research than on prostate cancer. It pays to be Oprah, where's my ribbon magnet.
Go figure. It can't make a Venti mochachino, play Modern Warfare, encode a movie while downloading hentai midget porn.
Lest the Redmond PR flacks come up out of the muck to scream at me.
Oh wait, you don't recognize the existence of Hebrews.
If you are legally required to protect data and you give that device to someone else your responsibilities don't transfer to that third party.
The Bigger issue though is cost. Apple or anyone should give you a small rebate if they keep your drive.
