No, the points are thrown off only if the *reader* has a bias against the "$" since most people just do the mature thing and simply move on to read the rest of what's written, something you've chosen not to do. Looking for something so petty to base your reasoning to dismiss someone's points IS immature and a sign of someone who just might be aware they don't have anything to contribute.
And I'm talking about GREED, not simply the desire to make money; think monopoly. So M$ fits perfectly.
I actually think that "M$" makes someone "sound" like they're making a somewhat sublime point about the company's greed, and that those who equate it with being immature are too quick to judge, can't find anything intelligent to debate, and likely M$ fanboys themselves letting negative talk of "their OS" push the buttons on their bruised egos.
You obviously don't know what goes on inside an operating room then, huh? They play music(rather loud), eat and all sorts of other things you might find appalling but, regardless, tend to get their jobs done in most cases. Just because you can't multi-task doesn't mean they cannot.
Doesn't that mean that they're probably already beta testing them on the people running the *AA's? I mean they surely seem to be deaf and blind half the time; maybe they don't have their "illegal filter" turned down far enough to actual make sense of reality.
I seem to remember an article in Radio Electronics magazine from the 1980's where someone created ball lightning in not-so-lab conditions; IIRC, it was on an old train because there had been reports of ball lightning being produced due to some switch that controlled the generators. Anyone else geeky and old enough to remember this?
Agreed. And there will undoubtedly be someone who says that we will use these cameras to fight terrorism. Those people need to wake up, the terrorists of 9/11 were caught on airport security cameras right before all hell broke loose so they obviously don't work that well. I say this "news" is more propaganda to get us to accept having our every move tracked.
Did no one read this a few months ago when it was originally published? If that weren't enough apparently it's been "news" for over 2 years because, from TFA, "Revised September 20, 2004".
Seriously though, if your friend(s) were real, couldn't they just get a freakin' job to survive? When starving and homeless the first thing on my mind is NOT "hey, I really gotta get a high paying gig with a record label", it would be nice, mind you, but practicality comes first.
If I have to use the word 'filter' or 'filtered' so many times in a message, I really should have some caffeine first so I can make the sentences less juvenile sounding.
Guess what, those links are often considered to be spam by many filters. I know because a mailing list I'm on has to replace them with "hxxp://whateversite . com"(spaces included) to prevent their messages from being filtered out by filters. So that's not the answer either.
I second this. I also have become more than accustomed to clicking on the "X" all the way to the right of the window to close the current tab as well, and now I have to find the "X" that corresponds to the current tab. Grr. Other than that, I'm fine with it. I surely don't have nearly the issues with memory as I did before.
Don't blame them on M$(though I would love to do so myself) they're actually not even the fault of XML or even SQL. Instead they're due to the programming language interface whether that is PHP, REXX, Perl, etc. Look carefully and you'll realize that the languages make it incredibly difficult to delimit certain variables that happen to be assigned things like quotation marks, etc. even with the usage of single and double quotes. For example variable1="this is the first line's message".variable2."and it's going to be hard for the language to figure out what to do about those single quotes if it thinks that single quotes are also delimiters". You can escape the chars but it doesn't make it any better usually. I'm not citing the best of examples but if I dig through some of the code I've had to debug that was written by others, I could show you a nightmare for the coder, much less the security conscious.
Yeah, I know what you mean. It seemed pretty obvious as you stated, if someone wants to work for you then that's better than hiring someone who doesn't. I agree fully about the tolerance issue.
This is old news for me but only because I worked for the site listed below when their article on this was published. It looks like he came in around $15 million over budget cause back in 2000 it was estimated that it'd only be $10 million to get going.
That story was a bit ironic because you know the two gay guys sent that email out to start trouble for the landscapers, and now they're wishing they'd never sent it out and that the drama would die down. Let this be a warning to anyone who thinks that starting a stink is the best way to get someone to cave into your wishes; sometimes it truly is the best thing to just walk away.

AMEN to that!! They could watch porn for all I care so long as I wake up(or whatever).
Already stated this once before:
Surgeons multi-task all the time in the O.R. including eating and playing loud music. Just because you can't multi-task doesn't mean they cannot.

Remember Jim Fixx?

That is a very profound truth.

If you were a girl and I weren't already married, I'd propose to you right now. Thanks for that.
Who gave you the right to voice YOUR opinion, asshat!?!?!?
I say we enact this law controlling free speech ONLY for Newt so we don't have to listen to his asinine bullshit any longer.
