Data migration should not be a problem at all. Either you have a server, and all your data is there. Or for the home user, there's Windows Easy Transfer. Run it on the old computer, it gathers up all your files, run it on the new computer, and all your files and settings are back. It might take a while if you have a lot of data, but its not like you need to sit there watching it.
I'm sure there's no global conspiracy, but wouldn't it be safe to assume there's more dumb people because dumb people make dumb decisions, like having a kid they can't afford and don't know how to educate? I'm not disagreeing that kids COULD learn... but dumb people are almost always poor, thus making it more difficult to raise an intelligent person.
If your written communication is so poor that an HR person can't read your resume without laughing, I somehow doubt they are the best possible candidate. The goal of the HR person IS to narrow down the number of resumes. Why waste time on someone that can't communicate effectively in writing?
Depends. What if the parents AREN'T doing a good job home schooling? Does their right to raise their kid the way they want outweight the child's right to an appropriate education? Unless you want to argue that children are objects with no rights, parents don't get a blanket "raise their kids the way they want to" right.
The problem should be someone photographing you or your child without consent.
Consent is not needed if the pictures aren't used commercially and you or your child are out in public. My problem is that apparently some people think its ok to let their kids run around naked in public to begin with.
Seems reasonable to me. I can quit anytime I want; why can't they fire me anytime they want?
The short answer is that the business will not collapse if you leave, while you very well could end up homeless and hungry if they sack you.
Employer and employee are NOT on equal footing, so this nonsense of "hey, both sides are equal and thus can enter or exit the agreement at anytime" doesn't hold. Marx did point out a problem with capitalism; I don't agree with his solution, but he was spot on regarding the problem.
Note that "we just don't wnat you anymore" will still entitle the employee to unemployment payments. This is true even for at will states. In order to get out of unemployement they need to have a DAMN good reason, and extensive docuementation. And employers rarely win, mine included (I know the HR guy).
Contract workers are governed by their contract, and are not employees.
It depends on your state. Some require you to be grossly neglegent, and even if you didn't fullfil your job responsiblities, you can still get unemployment.
The only solution is to move on and find another job. When your boss feels they are above the rules, and thus you, they have no respect, and don't deserve your time. Find something else, and be happier.
I do work remotely as well, on web apps, so I must give source..
At any rate, the differnce between John and Rajesh is that you can sue John in a US court for breach of contract. Good luck suing Rajesh and getting any meaningful settlement.
Unless "this post" generates hundreds of thousands of replies, I'll stick with the vocal minority viewpoint.
The fact that Microsoft, a company who most definitely don't care in the least about user opinions, has been forced to provide an option in VS2010 to revert back to the VS2003 behavior is evidence enough of the size of the backlash.
They don't care about user opinions, so they listen to user opinions. Ya, that makes ALOT of sense. I suspect whats going on is they want to shut retards like you up; the "feature" is a trivial checkbox and adds probably 10 lines of code, if that. A small price to shutup morons. Personally, I would add the feature too, just to make idiots like you go away.
As for you not noticing the change; I simply can't imagine what sort of cognitive state you'd have to be in not to notice such a fundamental change to the way the UI worked. Everyone in my office noticed the change independently this leads me to wonder whether you're actually conscious when you use VS?
I really couldn't give a flying fuck where my tabs appear, and I suspect the vast majority agree. Seriously, who the fuck cares, since the new tab gets the focus anyway? What kind of moron "software engineering team" HAS FUCKING TIME TO NOTICE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?? Clearly you and your coworkers should be fired, because you have NOTHING TO DO and waste time bitching about where your tabs appear instead of doing your work.
There is a key difference; the PS3 is a system designed to lock out running of whatever code you want. A computer is designed to let you do whatever you want to it. The fact remains, if you want to run whatever you want, you'll have a much easier time using a computer than a PS3.
I had a CS instructor that insisted on indenting with tabs; they liked to use whatever editor, and didn't want to scroll horizaonally for pages on pages. Spaces would do that, but tabs where he set the tab size would not.
This contradicts though that netbook returns for Dell were a bit higher because people were expecting windows and got linux. So yes, there are people out there choosing windows over linux. The rest of those linux sales are probably techy people that really did want linux, but I doubt any normal user is asking for linux over windows, even when they know about it.
I know quite a few BMW owners; they aren't the model of reliablity you're pretending they are. There's even a known problem where the power window motors burn out, which had persitsed across several model years. Not fun when your window won't roll back up when its raining. They may have fixed it by now... but they have other issues as well.
You're assuming that most people even care enough to comment. I never even noticed the change you're bitcihng about. I did notice the new docking feature though, and use it extensively.
I think you're talking about a vocal minority vs. a silent majority, which don't care or welcome the change.
You then base your whole rant on something where you don't have all the facts.
Ya, how nice of you to quote out of context in an attempt to make your point.
What they said they WEREN'T changing was the Keep Tabs options, which changes spaces to tab. Some people like indenting with tabs, others spaces. Tab size vs indent size was NOT what he was refering to.

Ya, because smart people would settle for such a low paying job. Retard.
What is your definintion of an "unsafe speed?"

I'd be careful; if you're hiring said aide as part of a business, you may be violating gender discrimination laws.

An admin who is worrying about what search engine people are using has too much time on their hands.

I work for owners like this.

I buy mp3s from amazon; they already include the album art embedded in them. My zune picks it up just fine.
MW2 isn't code you own, and thus you don't have any right to run it on whatever you want.

But don't let the facts keep you from ranting.
So the fact that Vista couldn't do it, but 7 has, and both did come bundled? Sorry, what was your point again?
Sounds like you bought the wrong device. What you want is called a computer, and will allow you to run any code you want.
