Where the hell have you been? Laptops have accelerated graphics now. Go buy a new one you long hair 1993 unix nomad. Also, why did you put a smiley face after 'concern?' that is out of context and makes your message read strangely. Stop trying to be so damn 'hip' using emoticons. I can see right through you.
Look, I don't agree with you-you FUCKING moron. Its stupid idiots like you preaching bullshit like "Globalism is Good" that miss the REAL point. Being, start your own damn corporation/small business/whatever you have to do to stop working as a two-bit fucking retard employee for someone else. That's the dream, that's the ticket, that's the big picture. Not travelling around the globe living like a fucking nerd talking to people over the internet.
WTF are you talking about? Paying off a mortgage early is a GREAT idea, but few people can afford to do it. The tax advantages of mortgages DO NOT outweigh paying off early! That is just bullshit. You can write off interest paid but you're not gonna save more than you would if you didn't have a monthly payment!
And, you misinformer, you can take a HELOC or equity loan if you own your house. You just can't cash out refi...
And finally, just to be nitpicky, average mortgage right now is around 6% or so...
Linux is superior to the Windows platform. The file system makes it difficult to remove essential OS components or corrupt program files. With Windows, any user can delete any file so long as it isn't resident in memory. With Linux, processes can safely be killed. On Windows, killing a process might corrupt the state of the OS and require a reboot. Also, Linux has less security problems than Windows, and when Microsoft learns about security problems, they are not always prompt or even responsible when it comes to resolving them.
Microsoft cannot be trusted. They steal technologies and innovation from other organizations like Xerox, Sun, and the WC3, and use their financial power and lawyers to stomp out competitors. Sometimes, they make modifications to the innovations others have come up with and modify them so they will not interoperate with the originals. Furthermore, Microsoft has been known to be untrustworthy by employing technologies that are anti-competitive. They also use patent warfare as a way to make themselves money and supress the technological community. Linux is free to use, modify, and distribute, so long as you give authors credit. That is not much to ask. Moreover, there are thousands of great programs and utilities for use with Linux. These are free as well.
If you use Windows, you are doing yourself and the world a major disservice. If your reason for using Windows is because of the application support, you should change your applications or write to vendors encouraging them to port their software. There is no excuse.
If you use Windows because it is user friendly, that may be true in the short term. It is not true in the long term because your dll's will overwrite one another when you install a new program causing binary incompatibitly. Also, programs are free to modify the registry as they wish which generally results in slower OS load times, system corruption, and other bad side effects.
I urge everyone to stop using this Operating system in favor of a *nix OS. Please stop supporting Microsoft and start supporting more viable OSes. Reasons you can't refute have been stated above, and the software is readily available. Now go to www.linuxiso.org and get started.
Open source and GPL in general are an easy model to adopt when banding together to protest the unethical practices of Microsoft, but why give software away for free ALWAYS and FOREVER? Maybe you are a follower? Maybe you want to grow a long beard and be dirty? Does it REALLY make sense?
No one better mod this up as funny and act like you know what this guy is talking about. his comment makes no sense at all. don't try and act like you "get it" and mod him up, or you are a follower
Personally I just think it's damn dangerous to go in and topple countries and hope you can control where the pieces fall at the end of the day.
We conquered Iraq. That's what happened. It has happened all throughout history, and the results are usually a win for one side and a loss for another. simple.
I am a US citizen, and I am happy to be on the winning side. I like George W. Bush. I think he is an excellent leader. He stood up for this country during 9/11, and he is still standing up for us. People whine about the US being too powerful, fat, greedy, lazy, overworked, whatever... Well, how many times do you see us whining about people in Belgium, France, and the other shitfuck countries that didn't want to help us when we needed them. We don't whine about their people. We don't say they deserve it when bad things happen to them.
Developers are at the top of the computing pyramid. IT is a service industry, and developers write the user interfaces and programming logic that serve customers. Your job as an admin is to help us do that.
Please understand your place. You are basically one level of abstraction away from being an end-user. Your knowledge represents a subset of the average developer's knowledge. We can do your job, and you should be greatful that we have other things to worry about than the 8th grade bullshit you do!
XP was developed because consultant programmers found requirements change frequently regardless of the solidity of upfront design schematics. Why? Hell if I know. Maybe it's because programming is a new disipline. Maybe it's because clients can't forsee all they want without interacting with something. I don't know. I do know that working months on something, showing it to a client, and them hating it sucks (especially when it meets the requirements you worked out with them). It sucks to go for months after deployment adding new features and refining others. It is painful, leaves the codebase in a convoluted state, and makes programmers and clients resentful of one another.
XPs principles make it easier to cope with changes. It doesn't completely throw out the notion of an upfront design; however, it stresses we constantly improve the design while we code (design and implementation are concurrent activities). That's why pair programming makes sense to me. Group dynamics and synergy maximize the quality of a design.

I think I'll pass
i thought you would agree

Something needs to be done!
