Peanut butter is healthy, provided you get an organic one (it will have oil on the top). At least some of the fat in nutella is healthy as well, coming from the hazelnut.
See, fat from nuts is pretty healthy, its just the amount you intake which is the problem. Also, fats tend to slow the absorption of sugar, so it may not spike your insulin like soda would.
I don't care if it grows or not, personally. Its just like any other product; if it doesn't work I'll move on to something else. The fact is Windows works exteremly well for me; I don't need to google for solutions to obscure problems anymore, I don't have to spend hours fighting it for what should be a simple task.
With the time I've saved I've been able to use it to do other stuff that makes me way more money than I've put out in software expenses.
I'm glad you're happy watching something grow; personally though, spending $10 to make $300 is well worth it.
I've already made it through college fine, so I need no further advice. I WAS able to go back and absorb the notes later though, so there wasn't too much to complain about.
You've never had a prof that raced through the material have you? I certainly know how to take notes... but some just go nuts up there. I wasn't writing everything, but the pace was such that I was always writing.
Well, the only thing I have to say is that you're full of shit. You're purposefully chosen software you know isn't on Windows, and purposefully wrote software you know you can't port, then claim "Windows can't do what I want." Laughable. Even if the exact software package is only found on Linux, there's probably dozens of replacements on Windows. Your own software most certainly could be ported (unless maybe you tied it to the OS... hmmm).
Vista was a rippoff of KDE4? Even though it was relesed a year earlier?
I don't expect you to pay for anything you don't want to, but your seriously delusional if you think Windows can't do what you want?
I don't know how you think developement on Windows is expensive, given that you can get a free IDE and free Sql database to use... and even the for-pay versions are not that expensive.
Oh right, you shouldn't have to pay for the only thing that gives computers their value, I forgot.
I don't know what you're doing, but ifyou cant get anything from WinXP and later to "just work," you're doing something seriously wrong. Linux hardware support is laughable. Sure, if I want to run 10 year old hardware, its great. Getting a printer working is STILL a nightmare. "Oh, but you have to buy one of the few printers on THE LIST, duh!" is what I heard. How is that "just working?"
What stopped you from paying for Solaris or OpenStep? Both were available, I know because I used them in my CS labs. They seemed to "just work," but then I couldn't really install what I wanted with them (since they wre not my workstations).
Unfortunately the "non-commercial" (you're kidding yourself though if you really think Linux is non-commercial, the only reason its still around is because some are making money with it) sucks for the general PC user, and is constantly lagged behind MS.
Please, its this FOSS crap that is selfish. I'm not so entitled that I believe I should benefit from the work of others for free. You act as if there's something inherently wrong with paying for something.
BTW, I tried that "whole operating system and ecosystem of applications" that are for free. They really sucked. Take your high and mighty attitude that I should benefit YOU rather than choosing how I spend my time, and shove it.
Indeed. Some profs went way too fast, I couldn't stop to think about what was being said, I had to get it all down.. and try to absorb it later. Nevermind that I can type faster than write, and I can actually read something I've typed as well.
Fuck you, I'm not going to fix someone elses work when there's something out there that WILL work. I have better things to do with my time, and forced charity isn't one of them.
I'd rather pay a few dollars now and then than to have to waste hours needlessly when something isn't working. Supporting Linux took up significantly more time than I ever spent supporting Windows.
Early man must have been MIGHTILY constipated if they had to wait for the invention of toilet paper to defecate.
For early man, 30 was considered a long life, which is what we consider long life too. Oh wait, due to imnprovements in sanitation (among other factors) we live MUCH longer.
Which is really, I think, the larger problem in the areas that this product is targeted to... it would STILL require the use of toilet paper in order to improve sanitation.
Yes, because NOT having shit in the streets would have zero impact because people can't wash their hands. I forgot, in your world every thing is all or nothing. Either your sanitary, or you're not.
if this becomes the norm, it just got $0.02 to $0.03 more expensive to take a crap, for a very marginal (but existing) gain.
You mean instead of the $0.02 they're ALREADY spending to shit into a bag? Heaven forbid, how will they afford something that costs $0.02, when they are already spending $0.02 on almost the same thing???
I haven't done a cost-benefits analysis of the situation
You could at least, you know, read the article so you don't look like a total idiot.
No, you're the irrational one. Why should I have to ask the government for approval to make a living? I want to work for a company, it should be between me and the company. The government should not be able to step in and tell the company they cannot hire me. Just because we have a status quo does not mean it is right and that we should be tolerating what we have today.
You're asking the wrong question. The question is why should government be able to throw up obsticles in my way to work? As a free person, I should be able to live my life WITHOUT government interfernce, unless I infringed upon the rights of another. Government (and you) don't have any right to come inbetween with my dealings with another free person.
What is wrong with YOU, that you can't handle being a free man and must have someone to rule you?
Make the penalty for knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant 10 years in prison, and that practice will stop fast!
This is perhaps the stupidist thing I've read today. You think just because somethng has a penalty attached, people stop doing it? Ya, that worked out REAL well when there were penalties to buying or consuming alcohol.
Yes, you do things the old school way. There's a program (i can't recall the name of it at the moment) which will monitor the http traffic (or other kinds of traffic as well) between your web browser and server. It will display all the http status codes, cookie information, everything in a nice neat package. But see it runs on Windows, so I guess you instantely bleet that its useless, nevermind that it does everything your tools do.
But go ahead and do things the hard, long drawn out way. I'll have already figured things out and moved on though.
Because I can write and test it ONCE on Silverlight, instead of dealing the sthe stupid idosynocies of each browser. Oh, and with Silverlight I can do most of my UI testing automatically if I use patterns like MVVM. Seriously, testing a website blows because its so time and resource invensive; I literally have to sit down with each browser (and usually mutiple versions of the SAME browser) and MANUALLY test.
Is it helpful? Sure. Are there tools better suited to the job to help with something like that? Absolutely. If you're trying to track down an unresponsive web server, I somehow doubt the only thing you'd do is that command. Also, seems to make much more sense to use a brower... same result in much less effort using the program designed to talk on port 80.
No, there's overhead in Medicare. Its just that its so large they dictate prices to the hospitals, then insurance companies use that as justification to demand the same rates.
People in countries with public health care come here whenever possible because the treatment is better. And its not just rich people either; my wife worked with a family from Russia who is staying at Ronald McDonald House while their son is treated for cancer, treatment not available anywhere else. They practically had to sell everything, but they still CHOSE to come here.
Oh, and back to Medicare, many private practices are starting to refuse to take Medicare / Medicad patients, because doing so ends up costing the practice money.
But keep thinking that public health care would improve things.
The sooner the drooling masses suffer from the very crap they support, the better. Take speed limits. If they were perfectly enforced, there'd be rioting in the streets until the limits were made sane. If most people suffered the wrath of the IRS, they'd be up in arms DEMANDING simpler tax codes.

Which, if MS tried to do, I'm sure would be given hell for trying to control what software people are allowed to install on their own computers.

And you're pretending there are all these extra licensing costs when there aren't. You'll get all that and more with SBS 2008 Standard: http://www.microsoft.com/sbs/en/us/editions-overview.aspx

What is wrong with YOU, that you can't handle being a free man and must have someone to rule you?
a drivers license, or a national id, are simply a necessary component of living in ANY society
Odd, because shortly after the revolutionary war, we had neither of those, and society seemed just fine.
Make the penalty for knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant 10 years in prison, and that practice will stop fast!
This is perhaps the stupidist thing I've read today. You think just because somethng has a penalty attached, people stop doing it? Ya, that worked out REAL well when there were penalties to buying or consuming alcohol.
