Back in my days of working for Directv Broadband, I had ambitions of working my way up the food chain to management. I worked up from peon to tier 2 support. The next step was to start being a lead, then a supervisor. But at that point managers started being targets, instead of leaders.
As time went by, management started asking questions, and really looking down thier nose at me for discontinuing my advencement.
I can't say I would have gone farther or be happier, but stopping the promotion cycle sure did raise some eyebrows.
Sure, apple wants to make money. But there are heards of people who are still on one of the early versions of OS X, and are perfectly happy. I know I would be if I wasn't a version freak.
Coming from the standpoint of a real life shooter, I agree. The sniper rifle, and the role of the sniper in games is fairly inaccurate. Games like 'Global Ops' and 'Day of Defeat', or 'Wolfenstein Enemy Teritory' are not accurate.
There needs to be a whole lot more work put into the sniper role in games. A real life sniper is a well protected guy. A small team of people watching his back. becoming good takes a lot of practice, and even a seasoned vet misses.
I would think of popular thievery made easy by free to download programs by millions sort of self evident of being a major part of the downturn of the recording industry.
In my mind there is an ever growing gap in TV. TV Shows like CSI, Without a trace, Law and Order, or all sorts of stuf fon the informational channels engages my brain. It's not so much mindless garbage, but usually has somehting to get my brain moving a tad.
Video games and general computer usage for geeks like us always moves our brains to action. programming, games, web design, or screaming and ranting on/. always is more entertaining than some stupid sitcom with the same plot we've seen a thousand times.
Emulating someone else is not the path to being a hero. As I have talked about before, we need tog et some fresh blood intothe design of a new GUI. OSX, Windows, windowmaker, KDE, all suck. Outofo them all, I like OSX and windowmaker the best, but they suck.
Linux/unix will be popular on the desktop, when the GUI is not designed by a geek.

without reading into the article at all, it sounds to me like good evidence supporting evolution. Yay for science!
good point, my friend.
/me switches IM clients . . . .
It'd have to be easily cirmvented by privacy freaks. They don't want the MAN keeping tabs on who thier friends are! :)

If it weren't for /., I'd have never noticed.
His bad deeds are int eh past. Would you rather have him not try and make up for it? Keep his billions to himself and not help anyone?
I date girls that engage thier minds, not relax them.

I'm sticking to the strict regimine of sex.
This gives the term,"My ISP has crashed" new meaning.

But hey, this is /., logic needs not apply here.
I do not worry about spam. Grey listing + Spamassassin do it all. 1 spam every other day or so hits my inbox. 300 spams a day hit my spam folder.
