Yeah - I considered Linux, but then I considered retraining costs, application problems and general user resistance and decided it wasn't a battle worth fighting at this point. (not that I WOULDN'T like to get MS out eventually).
So how much did you budget for those things for XP?
Is balogna only balogna when it is packaged in Balogna, Germany, otherwise it is just ordinary meat?
... then it's called "baloney". But under no circumstances would I classify it as "ordinary meat". Actually, I'm even a little suspect about the "meat" part.
How about just stop taking caffeine, nicotine, or whatever it is you are addicted to (if you wish to stop that is).
I suppose that would work, but have you ever had a caffeine-withdrawl headache? Maybe spending an indefinite amount of time with piercing pain in your head sounds okay to you, but I'd imagine ethanms would rather find a less painful alternative.
This is an exciting time to be alive. The Riemann hypothesis has been proven. The 16th Hilbert problem has been solved (by a student no less - proof that important discoveries in science are still an individual sport). After thousands of years, Archimedes Loculus has been solved.
Didn't Ludwig Plutonium already prove all of those by the early 90's?
Seriously, though, neither the proof of the Reimann hypothesis nor the proof of Hilbert's 16th problem are believed to be correct... In reality, false proofs (even well-intentioned ones) have probably been around for as long as real proofs have been. So by your criteria, it's always an exciting time to be alive.
The only thing is that Slashdot is shit traffic. It's some of the worst I've ever seen... Some of us were even thinking of banning anyone with a/. referrer since it's just a waste of bandwidth.
Then why do you have a link to your pr0n site in your sig, numbnuts?
o if you're American and thinking of modding this down because you think I'm being mean to Brits, honestly, I'm not.
Why would we give a crap if you're being mean to Brits? If you were dissing the US, I can see a "-1 Troll", and if you were dissing the French or the Canadians a "+1 Funny", but the UK? No one here cares much about them...
I blame the bubble on the tech industry, and the longevity on a wise FED chairman, a president willing to listen to him, and a congress willing to cooperate with the president on lowering the deficit.
I think it's more accurate to say "a president willing to cooperate with congress on lowering the deficit". In Clinton's last six years, it was clearly Congress who was pushing for cutbacks in spending, and Clinton's party who was resisting.
In his first two years, he and his party lowered the deficit by raising taxes.
Ack. Please don't go into management. If you can't develop, what are your chances of understanding the developers in which you lead? Not that all developers will be great managers, but I like having someone above me who understands what I'm doing though may not duplicate it.
I'd rather have a less-successful developer as my boss than a successful one. At least a failed developer is less likely to micromanage. It's certainly possible to understand what you're managing even if you don't know all of the technical details. In fact, this is what most managers do.
However, ultimately it probably doesn't matter. Management is a completely different position and requires a completely different skill set than programming does. Some people will be good at it and some won't.
I use this little tidbit to disable flash while I am surfing, only flipping it back on when I absolutely need to (like for watching the latest Strong Bad Email)
Zeinab's story has since been corroborated by Charles Duelfer, the former vice chairman of UNSCOM, the U.N. weapons inspection team, which actually visited the Salman Pak camp several times.
"He saw the 707, in exactly the place described by the defectors," the Observer reported. "The Iraqis, he said, told UNSCOM it was used by police for counterterrorist training."
"Of course we automatically took out the word 'counter'," Duelfer explained. "I'm surprised that people seem to be shocked that there should be terror camps in Iraq. Like, derrrrrr! I mean, what, actually, do you expect?"
I wouldn't expect the vice chairman of UNSCOM to use phrases such as "Like derrrrrr...", for one...
Oh well, maybe he picked it up from his teenage daughter.
The truth is that only dumb people use PowerPoint.
Only on Slashdot would such a comment be moderated up as "insightful".
Tell me, reboot: what are you going to be doing 10 years from now? The same menial job you're doing now, or will you actually get promoted and become one of those "dumb people"?
"Lindizzle keeps it cracka-lackin' for shizzle. B. Gates can sizzle my dizzle."
Aw, fo' rizzeal.
But seriously, that'd make a cool commercial for Lindows. You could even have a whole series (similar to the Apple Switch series), like a guy speaking in mock Swedish (chef), and a guy typing in 1337-5933k. I'd buy it if they had such a commercial...
I don't understand why the story poster differentiates between a "three button mouse" and a scroll wheel mouse in which the wheel is the third button.
Because the middle button on a wheel mouse is a lame excuse for a real button. My middle button is a big , wide button with a stable feel to it. In other words, it's intended to be a button. The middle button on every wheel mouse I've tried is narrow, awkward, and obviously not intended to be a button in the first place.
I download gigabytes of stuff from Usenet and burn it onto CD's (and soon DVD's). I have countless numbers of spindles filled with apps, games, MP3's, and so forth...

All review of fiction is inherently the personal view of the reviewer. The point is to write what he thinks of the book and not merely that which he believes you will consent to agree with.
What a bunch of shit. The point of a review should be to describe the work in question, not to give your opinion. Hint to reviewers: NOBODY GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT SOMETHING, THEY ONLY CARE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO THINK ABOUT IT. With a competently written review, the reader should be able to decide for themselves whether they might like it or not, regardless of whether the reviewer actually liked it.
The internet has enabled a lot of amateur reviewers who think that reviewing something means just giving your opinion about it. Such reviews are usually pretty close to worthless.

Those were the types of movies she was talking about, right?

Got a reference for this? Or you just pulled it out of your ass?

Probably both... and making 10x the salary that you ever earned per year.
