I think the same applies for boats in Oregon, but I'm not sure. On the other hand, we routinely have some of the highest gas priuces in the nation. Sort of makes you think. Unless you drive a Hummer, in which case that might be beyond your capabilities.:)
Good god! I don't know a ton about Qwest (I have them for local phone service), but I can't imagine Comcast being the lesser of two evils. Everytime I write that check I shudder. I wouldn't be 1 bit surprised to find out that they fund the Taliban.:)
It's like having a pool table. Do you need more pool tables because you get bored of the old one?
Not the best analogy. Your experience will vary marginally (if at all) between pool tables, wheras your experience between Pong and Vice City will vary quite a bit. By your analogy, why read more than 10 books in a lifetime? Unless, of course, you enjoy limiting your potential enjoyment / growth / whatever.
The reason the SNES had "so many great games" is that nintendo 'allowed' third parties to create them.
If tomorrow I decide to set up shop and make PS2 games and market them, sony's lawyers are going to kick me so hard my shop will end up in another dimension.
I would guess (although I'm not 100% sure) that Nintendo required licensing for development on their platform just as Sony does. Hence no porno games.
Hence (I hope) the need for systems analysts and such - to bridge the gap between the customer and the developer / programmer. Granted, a good programmer can make the translation themselves, but they really shouldn't have to - they have heavier lifting to do.
That said, I am a Business Systems Analyst for hire, so if you need one, let me know! [/jk]
I think what he was trying to say is that the departure of jobs to India means that said programmers won't be financially able to move out of their mothers' basements anytime soon.
Apple has far larger cash reserves than its marketshare would suggest. Perhaps they are an example of mindshare = profits and marketshare is simply not part of the equation.
To be fair (and this is the definition of devil's advocacy) not all marketing is intrusive. The posters you see when you walk into a movie theater are marketing devices placed there by the marketing departments of the relevant studios, and (MPAA gripes aside) I can't imagine a moral objection to that type of marketing. Again, I think intrusive vs. non-intrusive is the key.
I guess I assumed that this would be used for kids who are too young to have a phone. Like the poor kids who get those leashes attached to them. They might even be young enough (6 yrs old?) that 15 minutes would be meaningless to them.
To be fair, Office 97 to Office 2003 (or whatever) != migration in the sense that the article uses it. I think most would consider that an upgrade, not a migration. You point, though, stands in that there is certainly an upgrade cost.
IIRC the ECU will gradually adapt to any changes you make after the ECU upgrade, just as the stock program on the ECU will adapt to a new (for instance) cold air intake. Granted, ideally I'd do all of my mods first and then do the ECU, but in terms of bang-for-buck, you can't beat a chip or firmware flash, so many do that first.
Additionally, you can't even get 93 octane where I live. APR has a 93 octane program, but they also have a 91 octane program for those of us who can't get 93, and the gains seem to be roughly the same. Admittedly, efficiency probably wouldn't be as good as with 93, but what can you do?
She'll go into debt, file bankrupty or possible commit suicide.
You can't be serious. I'm not sure anyone's solution to a health problem (short of terminal or severe mental illness) is suicide. Whatever you health problem might be, suicide results in the worst health condition possible.
There's an old saw that says that if you make yourself irreplaceable, you'll never be promoted - or something like that. Not super relevant here, but similarly (and I speak from experience - and bitterness) once you do well in an area you will be expected to assume responsibility for that area permanently, plus it will make higher-ups think you're ready for even more resposibility. Repeat until you're insane or dead.
True enough, but when I had to choose between which of those platforms to play POP on, I wouldn't have even considered PC (or GBA, but that's another story). Frankly, the control scheme on XBOX and PS2 is brilliant, and I can't imagine that keyboard / mouse would work as well. That said, I'm sure most people would agree that PC is the best choice for Doom III and Half Life 2. I still believe there are platforms (or controllers, at least) to which certain types of games are better suited.
Your comment was exactly my impression on reading that bit, but stated more articulately than I would probably have. It strikes me as the tyranny of the politically correct attempting to apply the principals of cultural relativism to science. They are, after all, called natural laws, which, by any definition, at least implies univerality.
You know, I'm not taking a stand (I don't take exception to anything either you or the g-parent said) but, I should point out that 'pretentious and full of contempt', and 'correct' aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, the latter makes it much easier to be the former.:)

That said, Answer Me! is the shit, and well worth a look.

Paypal charges a fee to the seller, I believe, so that really shouldn't annoy you too much.

I'm sure this is redundant by this point, but while I may only work 48 weeks per year, I get paid for 52.
Therefore, salary = weekly salary * 52.
Yup. :)
Try this.
I'm unfamiliar with the 'pine, crab, sauce' puzzle you referecned. Would you mind filling me in?
I'm not sure anal rape is part of the 'time'. It might be considered cruel / unusual, depending on one's proclivities.
I think you can as long as you post as AC.
On the other hand, I wouldn't swear to it.

Just set a reminder in Outlook and hope that's still the dominant mail client in 100 years, right?
Maybe not...

bullshit.
Yes. Just as, in the post you are refering to, the more enlightened country is Germany. As the poster stated.
