Merck makes Zocor for folks battling high cholesterol levels. Works good, too. My dad uses it and he still has his digits and faculties.
Merck makes Singulair for people who suffer from asthma and/or allergies. One pill a day, no inhalers. Works very good. I know, cuz I take it. I haven't sprouted a new head yet, but I can breathe.
Merck makes Fosamax for people with Osteoporosis, but who have issues with hormone replacement therapy. It works well, from what I hear.
So shut up, you idiot. Don't disparage a good company for a screwup with one product. It happens. The researchers are people, too.
You've got it all wrong, Mr. Coward. Schwartz is jealous of Linus' inability to walk into a hotel, or perhaps go to the crapper without someone on/. posting it up.
The cathedral envelops more than just the Linux platform, it's the cult of Linus, where thousands of physically disheveled men with social interaction problems secretly hope for a chance to gag on the Torvoldian tube steak...
I never said you had a small penis. I actually explicitly stated that I was not implying that. Again, more evidence of your stupidity. C'mon man, just keep pilin' it up for me!
a coarse and pedantic double entente, sp0rk. But I'm glad you have success with self amusement!
Of course not, but... don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a place that'll hire you some times soon; McDonalds is always looking for a few good people with great management skills.
Which would be great, because while passing out crap food, I could then be a contributer to your need to sleep on company time...
Yes, sp0rk, I'm stupid and have a small penis. You, on the other hand, are incredibly intelligent and have an unusually large penis. And we all know that people who are incredibly intelligent and who have unusually large genitalia hang out on/. on saturday evenings/afternoons.
Sure, at some places that might be true, but being a good boss isn't about forcing people, it's about understanding them and helping them do a good job.
Psychobabble. Can I get you a binkie for your nappy, svanstrom?
You people need a swift kick in the balls and a healthy dose of cold, hard reality.
OH, another symptom of your stupidity would be having a link to a crotch-rocket message board as your homepage. Someone's compensating for something...or lack of something
Ha! Given the choice of riding a sportbike or riding in a generic econo-box with McDonalds refuse littering the floor, like you probably own, I'll take the former, thanks...
A 30 minutes nap could be the difference between an hour worth of coding, and half a day worth of uninspired coding; at the right/wrong time that nap could, at a large enough project, be worth days or even works.
What a load of malarky. I have a little tip for you, take a walk around the block in the morninga and/or evening, cut back on the caffeine, and eat right. That way you won't be so "uninspired"...
And yes, I do work w/ programmers, and I would fire those who feel the need to sleep on the job. I pay 'em to work, not sleep. Normal above the age of 5 people do that on their own time.
I cannot believe there are people out there who need a friggin' nap room at work.
This is funny. There are good people looking for jobs out there and here you are sleeping at your frigging desk. If I were your boss I'd fire you in an instant.
The places that have wireless networks should also issue handouts concerning possible security problems to cover their butts. How long until you hear someone getting sued because someone borked their computer over a wireless network?
Not only that, I have serious concerns about the government providing ubiquitous connectivity services in general. When we all rely on the government for our net connectivity, there's a hell of a lot less red tape involved with capturing the entirety of Joe Public's electronic communications.
When the gov't has lured everyone into using the same connectivity system, Law Enforcement can begin to use statistical analysis to predetermine "deviant" or "criminal" activity or even intent. Revenue Departments can compile purchase information to compare dollar outflow with stated dollar inflow, etc. Even though I'm not a "deviant" or a "criminal", I don't like that too much...
when I see Ogg Vorbis I think: vagina, egg, orb, salmonella, disgusting, muck.
That the name Ogg and/or Vorbis is being used to refer to ANYTHING is proof positive that the open source crowd should stick to what it knows (making things work) and stay as far away from marketing (making people want it) as possible.
Think about it. You're never going to see a marketing campaign with this tag line: iPod - new and improved with exciting Ogg Vorbis support!
Have you ever heard of the marketing concept "all news is good news"?
Seems to me that the amount "loss" attributed to PlayFair is small - appealing only to a vanishingly minute portion of the iTunes customer base. Essentially a small, steaming pile of/.ers and like-minded folk who seem to have enough spare time to worry about the so-called "rights" trampling associated with a $.99 purchase.
While non-/.ers are happily chugging along under the rules of FairPlay, getting more than enough perceived value from their $.99 purchase,/.ers keep iTunes in the fore of their minds by continually wringing their collective hands over the DRM system.
And where is Real/Napster et al during these fiascos?
I've supported hundreds of pre-jobs departure fanless macs and I've *NEVER* had one overheat in normal operating environments... Please dig deeper into the bag to find some reality-based crap to fling, cuz this is FUD.
With a cheap IP-aware localtalk bridge on the network the ethernet adapter wouldn't even be needed...
Up until the company was sold a couple of years ago, I had a newspaper client (Mac support) that still used SE, SE30, and Mac Classics for their ad/classified sales staff. Eudora, Word 5.1 and Filemaker was all they needed to get the job done... And probably would be all they'd need to get the job done today...
I guess that's one way to stop your employees from wasting time on the web - kinda takes the fun out of it when everything is in B/W and doesn't work with vintage 1995 Netscape!

Yo, dude, I'm an agnostic. Try again.
I meant to type "30", but anyway, why don't you go to the source for updated info instead of citing an 18 month old CBS news story.

You're a zealot, dude.

You're a perfect candidate for a health savings account. Stop dumping all that money down the rathole and start saving it.
Doh!
No problem, at least you have a valid explanation for your meatheaded contentiousness... Now take another pill!

May I ask where you are working, where you are using your great management skills to get the best possible results?
No.
Personal attacks based on no evidence are great. Another symptom of your stupidity.
Not as stupid as implying that sportbikers are uniformly stupid... We can play this game all day long, porky.

I'm stupid because I won't pay a guy to sleep at his desk? Get a life, fool.

Sheesh.
What if I have Windows XP unemployed dumbass edition?
Map24's user interface is unintuitive and (IMHO) cludgy. I like the premise of the service offering, but the user experience is woefully lacking.
As crazy as it appears, this pretty much echos what I see at the clients I've supported - especially in the laptop arena.
At least in the graphic arts and video sector, anyone who thinks that PCs offer better TCO is oblivious to reality and/or a zealot.
