over taxing any section of society is a bloody mistake. we all work to make money, so why should anyone pay more or less of that work in tax?
if you tax lower income you end up with poverty, if you tax high income your taking away money that they could be spending and helping to create jobs.
i mean lets face it, rich people like to spend money. taxing me makes me unable to afford that new car or new pc i want. and I am a firm believer that gov. WASTES a huge amount of tax money, so the less they get the better.
flat rate tax is the only fair option. stop screwing anyone with any ambition and reward the hard workers of this country.
How are they going to work that one out? surely they don't think they are missing out on the income of all the overseas developers they work on OSS?
wait wouldn't this same reason make them prevent out sourcing overseas since they are missing out on the income tax when jobs go over seas?
what a crock, this is a blatent money grab.
it is a perfectly decent job writing customised software for companies. pays very well and has much less stress then working for big software firms
( which you won't catch me dead doing ) i wouldn't ever take a job writing a webserver for example, i'd just advise clients to use apache and charge then do setting it up. but if someone wanted say, an appointment book system which reflected their unquie busniess requirements i'd do it in a span. it serves them exactly what they need and theres not need to wait for some development house to get off their arse to make changes if they need them.
I have the join of making a version of our VB6 application in html.
this would be fine except this vb6 app uses tricks in it's layout which simply are NOT possible in html or java.
but this isn't the biggest problem... my boss is a complete detail nazi down to the N'th degree. he gets a magnifying glass and checks that things are the same down to the pixel. and if something isn't EXACTLY the same he worries and worries. comes into work at 2 am and looks at it, and NOTHING else can be worked on until it's fixed.
omg darl shutup.
DMCA has nothing to do with this.
sco was prohibited from making fruadulent statements in an attempt to scam money out of people.
example ( this is EXACTLY what SCO are doing ) I send you a letter stating that i am the real owner of your house and that you must start paying me rent. upon your requesting proof of my claims I refuse and threaten to sue you, and that the only way to prevent me from sueing you is to pay me.
only a fool would allow this to happen.
sorry bud but i have to disagree with you here....
this kind of attitide is WHY people go to uni for 3 years come out have a tough time finding a job then once they get one their employers say " right we are going to pay you crap while we teach you how it's done in the real world".
I agree that planning is an important stage, but if you stop there you'll amount to nothing. as an example lets compare the quality of a project such as the linux kernel vs say, windows or office? linux kernel's performance speaks for itself and is written by mere code monkeys, where windows or office i can bet has 100+ planning types drawing little boxes and comments till the cows come home.
my opinion on this is learn to plan, get the thought processes there, but don't get high and mighty about this ability, becuase if you can code you can plan.
This is priceless a bill gates moment.
we need to add bill gates saying software should not be free to the list on constants of the universe.
seriously he will never EVER allow windows to be open source and free, so the only thing he could see being free is hardware, which given the complete lack of any evidence that this could happen ( as apposed to the OS movements free software ) defies logic in only a way bill could conjure up.
As for his ideas of visually designed software, can we have an IP lawer here please?!, he's been stealing ideas from movies like "paycheck"
it's hard to believe this man has written a single line of code if he thinks visual objects are a substute for anything serious. big bubbles and "internet clouds" belong in the planning room only.
actually your missing the point. this shows the unvetted copies of pr releases, and gives an insight into the thinking of ms pr rats.
It shows that linux is very much on their minds and that they like to make up quotes as they go along, and present FUD as actual facts.
all you morons claiming ms is the reason pc's are so cheap need to take a step back and just think about that statement.
mass production and high demand are what have driven pc's prices, not windows. sure our specs are higher then would other wise be needed, but thats all relative.
and anyone claiming you could run a business without computers, doesn't work or doesn't have a clue.
I think we would have ended up in much the same situation as we find ourselfs in today. with one big player trying to crush everyone around them.
blocking port 25 doesn't stop examples such as my perl script.
like i said there is no way to stop spam completely, but we sure could cut down on the volume
err and you work for an isp?
tell me sir, what currently stops me telneting into any smtp server, saying helo and sending a user a message?
now what if i write a perl script to do this for me, read addresses from a database and send messages on a massive scale?
oh wait i just became a spammer.
this is even worse then microsofts ideas on stopping spam.
realisticly you cannot stop large amounts of mail or the ability to send email to anyone without cutting down on the usefulness of email.
you can however do some things to all but wipe it out.
1: have governments pursue spammers to the ends of the earth, catch them and make them do jail time, then have them on a good bahavour bond which forbidds them from using a computer.
2: have all mailservers do reverse look ups. this makes it easier to enforce rule 1.
3: isp's instigate spam filtering, VERY loosely.
these 3 steps would wipe 99% of spam off the planet, use current technology that works, and won't break anything ( cept the spammers )
I have worked a few different jobs, but this kind of stress seems to be an IT phenomon. The problem is a conbination of low pay ( here in aus you get shit all pay for an IT job, i make less then the guy that empties my bin ) and no apprechiation for what you do.
bottom line is people like to have a whinge and blame everything around them but themselfs. computers are a convient scape goat often which leads back to the poor IT poor guy getting the shaft.
no one is argueing that businesses have the right to manage your work, what we are saying is leading to job dissatisfaction is the exact attitude your putting out. "we own you code monkey"
you will never get quality work from anyone if you give them that kind of work environment.
shit heavy? this seems like a truely bad bad idea. you'd be much better off with a wooden finish, or even a wooden desk whichyour pc fits into.
I'm baffled at how well a wooden mouse would work as well.
Slashdot Mirror
this is a perfect example of the power of open source. you can't be locked into anything, you can just fork.
fuck off and post with your real man then if this is all true
your an anonymous coward your opinions > /dev/null
just another MS schrill
then we will just crack WMA! have these people learnt nothing from history? repressed people ALWAYS find ways to free themselfs, it's human nature.
depending on the government, they can do a fine job of stuffing it up as well..

I are they the things that tried to look like apples but were pc's? becuase they are farked.

luck you didn't post it or mention it's name or AOL black lists will be the last of your problem.
