of businesses mandated to babysit their employees. I do not get spam on my work PC. I do not give out the email address when ordering, do not access non-business sites. People that did either of those above actions do get spam. So the only solution to this is to not only make said actions grounds for immediate termination, employers should also let it be known that whatever spam/spyware removal costs (and legal costs) incurred by the company will be passed on to the offending (former) employees.
I must agree with the others that say to start your own business. Find a business that you know something about and create an app that would help them. Market it for a low rate to that business, with the caveat that you will improve the product for them, but will also be shopping it. This will give you LOTS of experience and firm knowledge the of design, development, debugging, and deployment cycle.
Perhaps it is you that needs experience. Although it has gotten better over the years, the MS products have had serious bugs that advanced-functionality users have repeatedly experienced. For specfific examples, try these: While opening a document from a WINDOWS2000 server, MSWord(also 2000) dies and corrupts the file. At what point is there a user fuck-up? Maybe they should not have double-clicked to start the file up and done a File|Open instead. Dumbasses. Or the same error in reverse, where changes were made and the save dies (icon selected), again corrupting the file and thereby losing the changes (the backup save is close but not complete). Perhaps the user should have done File|Save. Shitheads. And the Man IS out to get me...
It's time to start skimming the gene pool
Please, part of his reason included "geeks that did not [his] help". He is a self-involved whiny little FUCK using whatever reason he can to justify leaving his job. I say good luck wherever he goes, but BFD! As other posts alluded to, the millitary uses pretty much everything the common American does. I guess I should stop using plywood and hammers just because the military is using them in Iraq. Get a girl, get a life - just get away!!!
"It's time to start skimming the gene pool"
Proposed Windows fan club. Offer an industrial-strngth fan to chop up MS 'puters - or a club to beat them into teenie tiny little parts. That will eliminate the BSOD.
That is the real problem. Embellishing to sell their news product is how ALL ethereal (i.e. not print) media behave. Local news has the 'ticking time bomb automobile' stories which amount to 'If you get rear ended at 100 mph, light a cigarette and throw it in the fuel filler neck, this car will explode'. Odds of that occuring:astronomical. FUD: priceless.
People will gravitate to where they feel comfortable (Dem.: Bush abuses pet; Rep.:Horrible gust of wind causes Prez Pet to be injured).
It would be nice to have media personnel announce their biases, but it does not take a Hawking to figure it out.
It's time to skim the gene pool
With the advent of OBD, troubleshooting newer cars is radically different. Plug in a device, read the trouble codes and fix what it says is ailing. Then you have diagnoses on the reporting devices themselves ('It says I have no motor but I am looking right at it').
The only thing that is the same is the high-level definition (have a problem/find it/fix it).
Why anyone would pay 3k for a HEADLIGHT is beyond me. That type of person probably dresses their dogs in designer threads.
I say remove all the B.S. on cars. Instead of making vehicles to survive a crash how 'bout teaching the dullards how to AVOID a crash.

Only because the gov't deems it OK. The 'driving is a priv. not a right' diatribe has only been accepted (or is it forced down the public's throats) in the last 2 decades. IMO there are parts that should remain private, or the gov't can do all sorts of nasty things (how 'bout video surveillance? Maybe sound recordings to make sure anything I am playing does not have indecent material in it?). And that absolutely allows 'kill switch' and breathalyzer (see N.M. proposed legislation) technologies to be implemented regardless of of expense.
I have no problem w/MPAA wanting to stop movie viedotaping. If I wanna see a movie @ theatres I go there. If I wanna save money I go @ noon. If I do'n wanna pay I do'n go! If I want to watch a DVD my neighbor has I borrow it (and vice-versa). But the MPAA/RIAA want this outlawed as well!!
AFA your op. on 'Ass Head', many/.ers just think it's funny (I also think the word 'fart' is funny).
The only problem I have w/night vis. is if Johnny no-Datey is using it to scope da Honeys in the seats and throw a little 'man butter' on his popcorn.
The biz model RIAA/MPAA seem to want is 'pay per use', meaning I cannot make a backup (in case the original gets damaged), cannot use said offering in multiple, disparate devices (i.e. - buy CD, buy MP3 for portable audio), cannot mix and match chapters (or audio tracks) for my own personal use, and cannot get items from other countries unless they magnanimously create one for my country. They also want to limit which devices (or OSes for computer) are allowed to even access their products.
AFA your Linux comment alot of businesses must be/. groupies. Go back to your BSOD.
Although I agree completely the driver needs punished (IMO he deserves more time), the black box does raise privacy issues - and the "if you're not doing anything wrong who cares" argument is a dangerous position. The OBD computers have had a modification proposal to allow BROADCAST to government officials. This is intended to notify drivers of vehicles over-polluting, but the broadcasts also have location, date/time and speed, so any local authorities could send you a ticket. Thankfully this has not gone anywhere yet but if it ever does it will be time to buy that 70's car. Taking your stance this intrusion would be OK too.
Regular police investigation should have turned up the estimated speed, and the lack of skid marks (undies excluded) would have shown no braking was attempted.
I have read said article and there were 2 specific references where interaction with my vehicle would seemingly be required. In instance 1, an RFID would notify my vehicle it was going too fast. Either some kind of radar is utilized or my vehicle's speedometer is accessed. Instance 2 is for automated Toll Tag referencing, which would once again require interaction with my personal conveyance. Both are somewhat harmless but that invalidates your statement.

Thank you, a sane voice in the 2-party nightmare of the USA. I propose we get a 'none of the above' box and if that wins, all nominees are removed, along with any others from their affiliated parties.
As long as government officials can justify the comm. monitor there is no issue. The bigger issue is now it takes heresay rather than tangible proof. If this is allowable, why not allow home video monitoring, and vehicle monitoring? Then, when all the cameras are everywhere, no crime could go unpunished since it would conceivably be stored somewhere. And I prefer video phone sex, anyway.
"It's time to start skimming the gene pool"
Gas mileage and emissions . With the 'new' old-tech of DoD (Displacement on Demand), monster v8s can get at least mid-20s on the highway. Look at the Corvette. A pushrod v8 that gets better mileage that the 4-bangers. Additionally, there are v8 tuners that get the factory engines running so efficiently that they pollute even less. I dropped a 'vette motor, sans computer control, into my Chevy pickup and it registered 1/10th the normal levels for the old motor. And this only had high-performance cat. converters - no other smoggie devices!!!!
Except that most PS2 game developers hate the hoops to go through to get any performance out of the complicated architecture. MS does have a more straight-forward design scheme that dev'ers prefer. Sony does treat the dev'ers better (re - online gaming control and profit margins).
Does it need to power everything? NO!!! Sadly, the sheep of the world see one path and only one path. Ethanol is a far better solution. Since Europe does not want engineered corn, then we should keep all of it, use it for energy and pollute less. Using bio-mass diesel (only inefficient dumbasses use gas tractors) in the interim and converting to hydrogen for the future lessens oil needs even more.
I highly doubt subsidies are needed to sell corn when a demand is found. For far too long governments have interfered to keep originating prices down. When the price of corn is the same price as 25 years ago I see a huge uptick is warranted. Most US goverment subsidies are for NOT producing, which is stupid.
And it is not hard to produce cars that run on ethanol or E85 now. Many manufacturers have them.
It's time to start skimming the gene pool daily.
I do not think the author had isolated it, but I am not an overly sensitive Windows zealot. He even stated that he put the browser on a Windows machine. The fact that the Linux community now has a good browser that runs most IE plugins is good for those of use tired of the BSOD, or my XP laptop's 'Plaid Lockup Screen'. MS has had 15+ years to get their OS right and it still blows up - makes it hard to do business.
- not free speech. If the Internet were ever government controlled, their actions would become more anti-freedom and pro-tyranny. A perfect example of this comes off the news today. The story of a serial killer in Canada is being quashed in Canada BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT!! There should be unified identification methods to allow the people to decide what they want/get to see, but that is the end of it. Personal responsibility should be the new benchmark to which everyone adheres.
