Here in the US, too. I think some of the posters are overreacting - sure, there are struggling doctors but I would guess that the majority are doing just fine, in spite of high malpractice premiums. I just visited a doctor friend of mine who just had a huge house custom-built (3 car garage, 3.5 baths, library, etc.), and probably makes at least 5 times what I do in the IT industry.
ctrl-shift-delete is easier to hit - at least looking at my keyboard, shift and ctrl are right next to each other while the windows key is between ctrl and alt. Of course, there was no windows key 20 years ago - anyone have an older keyboard handy?
yes (and I realize your post was modded as funny) but don't forget that many resumes are now scanned/read by computers before a human even looks at them, so it is important to include all the buzz words as well as the substance.
Only, Arnie is not an officer of the United States (Federal) Governent, he is a goverment official for the State of California. Unless the California State Constitution prohibits it, I don't think the U.S. Congress can have any say in the matter. If he were a US Senator or Congressman, different story.
I'm sure you've heard the expression, "One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". You keep getting these certs and still fail to get the job you want. Maybe you need to pursue another type of education, another company, or another field altogether.
I could see a $1 Million value in the cost of the raw materials to make the CDs, but of course thats not Microsofts real costs which include R and D, developers salaries, overhead, etc.
Hmm Nice publicity stunt, but I didnt see any mention of an ocean existing in the past. Clearly, there is not a large body of liquid water currently existing on Mars. No shrimp for you!
I once had to work (programming) in a warehouse for a dot com company that sold framed posters on the internet. The office space was full, so the consultants were banished to the unairconditioned metal building, where it was about 120 degrees in the summer. Worse, the air stunk of glue fumes all the time from the framing work going on, which tended to make me dizzy. The last straw came when they ran out of desks and made us sit in a folding chair hunched over a tower desktop on the floor with the monitor propped up on top
to block the ads, but I can't 100% of the time. The pop-up folks seem to be getting better and better. I've enabled the firewall, installed Zone Alarm, run ad aware and every other anti-popup and anti-spyware software that I can find, and I am still swamped with popups. Even when I am not using IE or any web browser, they still seem to find me. The latest problem I'm having is my monitor suddenly displaying a full-screen (no visible window or border) movie or TV preview.
Is there no hope to stop this madness? Next to slashdot, this is the biggest consumer/waster of my time during the day!
If it is the original except for the iPod, why do they say something about an "anniversary" at the beginning? I have a feeling they did some other updates to the ad as well.
BTW, I vaguely remember seeing the commercial during the 1984 superbowl, but 20 years is a long time to remember all the differences!
OK, so this is only one data point, but we used Macs for Scientific Research at Purdue University back in the early 1990s. We had a IIfx for data collection (using LabView) and SE/30s and IIsi's for analysis and routine tasks like word processing, data presentation, etc.
Baltimore/DC and Pittsburgh have been competing for years for federal funding for a demonstration Maglev project. Here in Pittsburgh, they even planned out a route that such a train would travel (From the suburbs of Greensburg and Monroeville to downtown, then out to the airport). Considering the war in Iraq and and the budget deficit, prospects for funding are growing dimmer all the time.
It does make you wonder - in 1961 we were capable of getting to the moon in 8 years, and it had never been done before. 40 years later, they are talking about 11-16 years for a moon mission. (2015-2020, according to the link)
If you can believe this group, 99% of the people in the world use Ogg. Personally, I have never even seen (let alone heard) an Ogg file and have tons of mp3s left over from the Napster heyday.
It used to be we only had to change formats every 10-20 years or so - LPs, casettes, 8 tracks, CDs, etc. Now with new digital media, we may find ourselves having to change formats every 6 months! Somethings got to give. Reminds me of a Simpsons quote, Bart saying something to the effect of "mp3's my ass! When I was a kid all we had were CDs, and those were plenty good enough"

Don't feel bad - I thought it was going to be about Charlie Brown and the Peanuts comic strip.

Unfortunately, this is my work machine so I have no choice in OS.

Just curious - how much did you pay for it? (I'm sure the answer will make me weep)

So you're saying it had an iPod battery?
Oh yes, I also forgot 7. Lego was so much better when I was young, because the pieced were not all specialized, etc.

1. Ogg Vorbis
2. Bluetooth
3. Beowulf Clusters
4. Soviet Russia
5. RIAA
6. Insensitive Clods
Since that obviously includes this post, it will self destruct in 5 seconds...
No, but you WILL be able to play Ogg Vorbis files.

better check your math - in 33 days they would be down to 13.0 psi.
Read Douglas Coupland's Microserfs. Then maybe you can begin to understand.
I think the poster means (back to the moon) and mars, not back to (the moon and mars).
Yeah, but does it support bluetooth
