Agreed. Now I have to wait for the sideways scroll and it's all movies I've already seen. There are less icons on the screen so therefore fewer results and they scroll slower so it's doubly bad.
Back in the late 90s, these companies actually trained their employees and gave raises that matched performance.
It was really amazing. Nowadays companies don't train their employees, and it shows.
It's funny to read the article and not think about training budgets being a thing of the past. It's the software's fault, not managements for sucking away the training dollars.

Honestly, what are you talking about? I think the bigger problem is that opponents don't know what it is. Case in point.
I've hearing on slashdot about these open source readers for some time, but only recently did I experience one. I had a 300MB pdf that Adobe Reader just wouldn't open at all. A day or so of reading forums and updating components and I finally got it to open the file.... takes about 5 minutes and lags whenever I try to scroll. So I downloaded Foxit (after reading about it on/., and I'll never switch back. It opens the scene in about 2 seconds, and scrolls nicely. (Not that the file DID open originally in photoshop *and* illustrator, but not the native application that is supposed to read the file.
I don't know what adobe did to reader, but it's unusable nowadays and frankly I'm done tinkering with it. It's a bloated POS. It's sort of how I feel about all of Adobe's software anymore, with the exception of lightroom.
He's referencing a Dilbert comic. Adams himself admitted he knew there was no such thing as a vulcan death grip in "Seven Years of Highly Defective People". Think it was a reference to that comic strip.
I figured the Enron fiasco was the eye opener here. They paid back a tiny fraction of what they pillaged. Now it's standard operating procedure, I'm not surprised that Verizon did this. I remember when the phone company was billing a federal tax that didn't exist... for years and years. Regardless this is a pretty slimy thing to do to your customers.
I love you 5 digit UID guys. I really do. I know this may be hard to accept, but we are not all programmers on/. Since I make my money doing 3D for tv, film, and game companies, it's windows or nothing. No no, please don't try to show me blender and photoshop clones, the bottom line is if you want to do 3D and you aren't tied to just maya, then you use windows. To be honest, I'll surf the web on a TI-95 if it's an option, my computer is a tool not a way of life.
That being said it may just be my OS, but according to this thread, flash doesn't have 64 bit support. So if it works that's great, if it doesn't they aren't going to fix it. It's not like I miss it.

The last company I contracted for made me work two days after I had back surgery. I fielded calls from underlings while in the ER. Good times.
Skill was convincing the sysop to give you superuser access through any means necessary....
and avoiding $700/mo phone bills.
I stopped watching and reading the news once it was legal for them to lie. Until they fix that... I can never believe anything they say.
At least it's not legal in many foreign countries. So your post makes a lot of sense and I am pretty much of the same mind here.

I only use silverlight for netflix, but netflix is great. Flash on the other hand crashes and causes my 64bit computer to go crazy from time to time.
For me, there is no comparison in terms of which is better. But I'm just the end user.
Is there anything like this for the iPhone? Seems it's android only but man... I want this.
I wish I could sell you my copy of Civ 5. I'd sell it for 5 bucks, maximum.
Civ 4 on the other hand....
I've seen this happen in IE, Firefox, Opera, and chrome.
Half the time the comment view sliders don't work as well. I miss the layout from 10 years ago, it was superior.
I wonder which employees find the process to be "to complicated" ...
I wonder which employees need to identify the data, create profiles and taxonomies, and put software into place...
Am I going too fast for you? Are we not making the connection here?
I never said I knew better than these drooling morons, but now I'm saying I know better than you.

Am I the only one who read this as: It's too complicated for the entry level IT guys we hire to use....
Not entirely true. My wife and I have 1 login for Netflix, 1 charge per month, but we can use that login on as many machines as we want.
You absolutely have a point, but the games for that system were $200 and *thats* what killed them.
People get bored of games faster than systems.
So steam was the problem in step 4. Every other step the problem was with the shitty game company you bought from.
I tried this with one teacher who was teaching us limits in calc. He wasn't amused.

It's typical news jargon so they can fit it in the headline. It's now in common usage as a result.
I am running the 32 bit version of the browser.

Wow I love tivo myself. I don't have one but I have a few friends with it and it seems wonderful. Not having commercials is a beautiful thing.
