you need a high res tv to see the difference between dvd - i have a 70" hdtv and i can see it, but i'm not most people. hence why dvd is still acceptable.
now if you could pickup a 40" 1080p lcd for $500 i think you'd find it a different situation. come on china i know you can find a way!
i think your spot on. of course management can easily stop this happening, by treating each employee as a valuable resource, offering decent pay and conditions to attract quality applicant in the first place.
"Come on. If your job is that stressful, fucking find a new one. Or, sack up and learn to cope.
In 99% of cases, if you freak out and do stupid shit, it's cause you're weak, not because the workplace really is that bad.
"
you sound like your about 15 and don't know what a stressful job is.
it's to stop idiots posting stuff showing them knifing people/things and rob them of their 15 minutes of fame. i totally agree with it. the internet is NOT a ticket to do as you please.
yeah it's amazing just how many of these professional exec's jump from company to company on million dollar salaries, leaving a trail of failures behind them, yet continue to be in demand? i just don't get it, if one of us was such a massive failure we'd be out of a job.
boo hiss big corporations. why don't you fucking switch off your pc and stop posting on slashdot if it's so terrible, after all that's whats driving the problem.
or maybe, just maybe these developing countries are going through the same development stages our nations did 100 years ago, when industry was low tech and highly polluting.
i said devices OLPC will be using, not some clunky piece of crap built into another laptop which was designed to only be used with the preloaded vista.
What about drivers? Linux has very few drivers compared to Windows, so won't this have only minimal support for extra USB devices? I don't think 3rd party drivers will work on the OLPC.
yeah what a bunch of whacko assholes, damn them and their quest for reason. lets all sit around in a big expensive church praying to jesus, symbolically eating his flesh while chanting.
show me a single atheist group that's even remotely aggressive? fuck i didn't know there WERE atheist groups i'm gonna join me up with one.
i think the way you apply the test is whats important. i've heard some horror stories about mass interviews with people doing tests till they drop, and mammoth 6 hour long "team" challenges. likewise i've been treated badly by prospective employers and they all, without fail, are shocked when i tell them THEY failed the interview and i won't be taking their offer. thank you very much.
as usual american's on here are pointing at american law for all their examples, which is laughable on 2 fronts.
1. this article is about other countries as well, in which (shockingly) your laws are meaningless
2. your own government doesn't stick to the rules anyway
for me i consider privacy a right, but anonymity is purely dependant on the situation. should scammers have the right to post shit anonymously? of course they don't, hence it's not a "right".
money is even easier to hide than internet addresses, and no they don't need any kind of direct pathway. plenty of 3rd parties are available for currency exchanges. besides i could have the exact same argument with money that financials should be private.
agreed. the author is just another jerk off attempting to gain some attention by making wild claims about technology he clearly doesn't grasp. most of these control systems are isolated from any network. I think your email example is apt, this isn't a case of process engineers not understanding IT, it's IT that doesn't understand the processes behind the computer systems.
we get it here all the time at work, IT will apply some patch to our systems that wrecks havco on our production and they give some lame justification like "it's needed to protect us from the latest shady website plugin hack" as if the DCS control pc is going to be browsing the fucking web....
maybe when your a bare foot long haired hippy like stallman you can afford the luxury of disclosing everything to the world, but when your a company with peoples futures and jobs on the line often its not a good idea to expose all of the details.
frankly anyone who can't see that has never been in a real business situation before
Your side is the one calling creationism "intelligent design" in an attempt to legitimise it. we've never said it's impossible to design or create life, merely that a big man from the sky didn't do it in seven days 6000 years ago and that the animals didn't start out as they are today.

i'm preaching to the choir here i'm sure.

right because cd's and their packing that's about 500 times the size is better.
isn't the whole point of an encylcopedia facts, not "whats worth looking at"

i don't care about your consoles, it wasn't the point of my comment

how about a model and brand so it doesn't look like you are just making it up.
i think you answered your own question there
name me one device that could be used on one of these laptops that doesn't have drivers for windows, but has them for linux?
exactly. 3rd parties make drivers for windows xp you fucking crack smoker.
it couldn't possibly be the fact the linux distro on OLPC was a piece of shit that lead to XP being chosen, could it.
fixed it for you.

since when is being anonymous a right. frankly the way people try to term everything as some kind of intrinsic right pisses me off
i'm guessing it's not the first time given he is using a linux desktop.
