because wingrep has a gui that makes your life easier then crappy commandline findstr? command line under windows is fail at the best of times, i couldn't imagine having to work with it (oh wait i do now and it SUCKS)
no, your wrong. duty of care is always to protect yourself first. pulling up to an airport with something containing blinking lights and wires is a fucking stupid thing to do. telling people they shouldn't have to worry about men with guns is like telling them isn't not their responsibility to remeber to breath O2.
would you be willing to pay for the 10c latex gloves he wears if you knew it saved you from contracting herpes or Hep. A/B/C from his previous patient? i'm sure dentists wearing gloves never saved a life either, but i can guarantee it's prevented the spread of communicable illness in many cases.
oh and name one person who paid $500k for a baby seat? oh right they didn't, they only cost a few hundred bucks. ther are plenty of better examples of expensive useless safety measure out there, i think you need to pick better ones. try mobile phone radiation protectors.
I think this value should be tested by immediately pointing a gun to the head of anyone making the claim, and demanding $7,000,001 and seeing if they think it's not worth it.
it's the safety culture that has arisen from the media crisis culture. there is a type of thinking out there that believes EVERY accident can be avoided. typically safety officers think like this, and use it as a means to control everyone around them by constantly playing the safety card.
in the real world, you can't escape risk. after all the world could spontaniousy explo
strawman. i'm not talking about giving them the moon, i'm talking about giving them developement on the platform of their choice.
what if a client has another web app they spent big money on that only runs on IE6, what if their worldwide network SOE is based on IE6? your going to just ride in and tell them to update or they can shove their money up their arse?
in most contexts, the customer is right. it's only in the event they aren't paying or that you don't NEED those users that it makes sense to cut down your work load supporting older browsers. oh and the reason ie 1-5 isn't in use has nothing to do with websites removing support - it's because MS forced everyone to upgrade.
because your stats are pulled from your arse, a significant number of organisations still use ie 6/7. not only that but users don't exist so you can dictate their needs to them, you exist to provide a service.
your thinking is the typical fail thinking that persists here on/. that technology sets the agenda not the customer.
yes, have you trying anything to do with DLNA. at first look it seems to be file sharing reinvented in a crappy way, but then you realise it's actually slow ass file sharing, which doesn't work very well and a lot of the time you can't FF or RW during streaming.
i've got 2 DLNA devices, both of them behave in totally different ways and neither one is what i would call satisfactory. the only saving feature of DLNA is transcoding, but since that is hit and miss it doesn't save it.
you missed the part where all those versions end up on bit torrent, and the MPAA complain the billions it made out of the avatar franchise isn't enough to feed the starving actors.
what, where do you get this idea we aren't liberal on women in the work place? the vast majority if post in this topic are to the tune of "whatever it's up to women to take the initative, we don't see what's holding them back".
the fact that this topic keeps comming up indicates to me that the femminist movement is desperate to stay relivant. they won they equal rights years ago, now in the western world atleast women have the same if not MORE rights in the legal system then men. ever tried to win custody of the kids against your wife? not to mention she'll get atleast 50% of your wealth no matter what. then there are the many free health services just for women - prostate cancer kills as many men as breat cancer kills women, yet we don't get free clincs.
This kind of thing always comes about due to management failing to give the company direction.
if left alone, employee's (especially smart ones like the type working at MS) will try feather their own nests. this is what leads to the infighting to begin with. this is where a good manager will say no to things, and keep the ship heading in the right direction.
I've seen it at a place i worked where a manager literally mis managed a department into the ground. he hired duds, failed to get rid of them during probation, then promoted more useless people. he didn't standup to people on his team when they were causing problems. it was all because he tried to find the path of least resistence rather then making the hard choices.
i'm very suprised actually. even though iinet's arguement was solid - why should they spend money and lose customers policing someone elses copyrights. usually the music and film industry weasles find a way to win these things.
it is too early to celebrate though, there will be an appeal no doubt where the music industry try get a judge more inline with their thinking.
while 30 is still young compared to some, it's definately past the point of being a "youth". your well into adulthood. and i'm not unhealthy, i'm simply stating a fact that as a teenager you'll shrug off somethings much easier then when your 30 - when i was 18 i could drink all night and not have a hangover, now a big night is like death. people should enjoy their youth because it doesn't last long.
definately would. you don't understand it yet, but you will never be healthier and more free then you are right now. i'm turning 30 this year and already i can see why they say youth is wasted on the young.
I was never really bullied because i fought back early on, plus i'm a beefy guy to begin with so inspite of me being into computers no one bothered me. later in high school i put my skills to use making home brew, and i became very popular (suprise suprise).
I think the number one thing teachers and parents need to do is let kids fight their own damn battles. if jnr gets bullied, let him give the kid a black eye. it also gives the bully a taste of what will happen later in life if you insist on picking on people. all this passive agressive shit where your only allowed to express yourself according to someone elses rules is bullcrap.
I know if my kids were getting picked on at school i wouldn't sit down and tell them to care and share, i send them to boxing lessons and tell them to defend themselfs. people taking shit is the result of this passive nonsense people have been bred on for the last 20 years.
lets get one thing straight. it's not that vaccines don't usually cause autism, it's that vaccines DONT cause autism. there is no proof at all.
these people are putting other peoples kids and the population as a whole in great danager due to dropping vacination rates, which completely contridicts your point that autism rates climbing is some how linked - after all if less people are vaccinating how can autism be increasing if it's the cause?
we are lowering whats called herd immunity. at the moment the rest of the herd is still largely immune to things like polio and mumps, this keeps those who aren't immune safe because no one around them generally has the virus. once this drops to a critical number (which is VERY close to happening, and has already happened with hooping cough) large numbers of kids are going to start being killed or crippled by preventable diseases. if you think the health care system is under strain now try adding an outbreak of polio. not only will kids get it but they will pass it on to adults as well.
when i see idiots refusing to vaccinate their kids, i just want to grab them and shake the bastards while shoving pictures of the 1920's polio outbreak in their face.

until governments abandon taxing wealth and tax consumption instead, you will always get inequalities like this.

are you for real. google win grep, or are you going to tell me windows doesn't really have google either?

between DLNA, HDMI and the 3d crazy that's comming i'm predicting lots of ripped off people. consumer electronics in 2010 is going to be a mine field.
let me get this straight - replaced your boss and your still doing the bulk of the coding? fail.

here's a clue why the US systems fails - it's filled with god damn lawyers!
not really, reviews and a rating system can easily float good books to the surface.
