Isn't that the lesson that business school is supposed to teach? So why the hell are they calling it "cheating"? I would have thought it was just part of the assignment, with extra points given for more creative cheating. I guess business people don't like cheating afterall when they're on the receiving end.
All of this just goes to show what a crock the pension system is. If you don't control your money, don't count on it being there for you at some future date.
The California voters should get together and file a class action suit against their government on the grounds of extreme stupidity. Oh wait, they were the ones who elected these morons. I guess they'll just have to sue themselves.
So why would anyone want Vista again? It sounds like its much more confusing than XP and slower as well. From what I've heard about it, if I get a new computer I'll throw XP on it.
What "global warming" really means is any type of weather whatsoever. I've heard people blame global warming for hot weather, cold weather, rain, dry spells, snow, mild winters, harsh winters, hurricanes, wind, no wind. Basically global warming has just become a boogeyman for socialists to use to push their agenda, which is of far more concern to them than the actual environment.
Exactly. I think we should give the big telecoms the kind of "free market" they've been harping about. I doubt they'd like it very much without their government protected monopoly territories.
Take your flamebait and shove it up your ass. Nobody gives a shit what you would do to a cheater, because we all know you won't do shit. You're an internet badass, which means a pussy in real life.
Exactly. The casinos can run their own establishment without government help. The last thing we need to waste tax money on is catching casino cheats. That's what security is for, and I'm sure any cheaters are far more afraid of casino security than the police.
This is basically what I've always thought. I have heard professors complain about internet-enabled plagiarism, and then find out that the assignment they gave is something like "write a 5 page paper on the Civil War". When they give assignments that are so banal and uncreative, no wonder people just look up a prewritten answer. Give a creative assignment, such as "write a medium-length research paper on the effects of the Civil War on the modern day Southern economy with specific emphasis on Conrail railroads" its much harder to plagiarize because its unlikely someone has written that paper before. I have no sympathy for professors who just read from the textbook during class and then complain that students don't put any creative thought into their work.
The faster this Blu-Ray garbage dies, the better off the industry as a whole will be. The last thing they need is another shitty Sony super-proprietary format.
Most Dell hostility comes from people who bought one around 2001, especially if it came with Windows ME. Dell's cheap quality combined with awful "support" cost them a lot of future business.
Creative. Hah, that was good for a laugh! Most commercials are just ripoffs of some other commercial. Or worse yet an abomination of some pop song. These jokers think they are creative?
Other than a few things in different places, can you answer the question that everyone is dying to know: what new features does Vista actually have? Will my business improve in any way if I buy it? I'd like to hear it straight from a corporate user such as yourself.
Exactly. The obnoxious ads are primarily a result of clueless marketeers failing to realize the internet is NOT the same as TV. The sooner they abandon the 30 second annoyingly stupid commercial, the better off they will be.
These are scams. At least twice a year this is in the news, where some group is making false claims to raise money in the name of the local police. They always deny that their real fundraisers use telemarketing. This is why telemarketing charity groups have lost all credibility.
Keep in mind who Microsoft's real customers are: the content providers paying big bucks for a Microsoft-exclusive distribution arrangement. The consumers who pay $200 or so for a Windows license (or who don't pay at all) are not where Billy G. got his billions from. Microsoft is simply fixing problems in order of business priority.
And if we're really lucky, it might be the end of Sony. I could only wish. What exactly does this company have to offer anymore besides overpriced garbage?

That was so funny - up until the 347th time someone posted it.
Atlanta is a lawless city.

They won't all expire at the same time. Not even close.

The ascii goatse has really been ruined by the Slashdot redesign. You can barely even see it anymore.

Look at Oligonciella's posting history to understand why I made the post that I did. I sound like an asshole until you put it in perspective.

Stick the IRS on them. I bet they don't accurately report all income, and would fare poorly in an audit. That would wipe out their profitability fast.
If Sun was good at hyping their products, their stock would be trading above $5/share.
Umm, because Sony was the main sponsor. Just a guess.
