Two things. First - WINS is, as it's name implies - Windows Only. Many servers in the back room are not Windows. Secondly most "major systems" whatever that means don't even run WINS anymore.
I see, you hate the billionaires because they do not wish to pay you for your non-work when you retire. The answer for you is simple. Why do you accept the money they pay you for your legitimate hard work that provides you and your family your life? The power is in your hands!! If these greedy businessmen are so evil then simply stop taking their money in exchange for your work. If you're so fucking smart and can do it so much better then do so! Start your own businesses and employ others. Make value (i.e. products and services) and exchange value for value in the open market place and soon, guess what? You'll end up understanding them and acting exactly as they do. Or, if your method is so righteous and correct, you'll conquer the world with your superior form of business. But to sit around and bitch smacks to me as being just a pathetic loser. These people give you life by exchanging value for value (wages for work) and you're complaining. If you think you're not getting paid enough (or not getting enough benefits - read: money for nothing) then by all means put your damn money where you mouth is and go out and do better than those who you complain about or STFU!
Actually the Fed doesn't print money, the Treasury does, and even they don't really do that that much anymore either. There are other ways of pumping liquidity into to the market that doesn't involved printing anything.
There are two ways to work - one is to plan methodically each and every aspect of what you intend to do for months then spend the 2 weeks it takes to actually do it and the other is to just asking do in 2 weeks and move onward. You seem to be of the first camp...
I had no idea that just adding a word to your resume, without having any experience in what the word describes, actually qualifies you in that area! And silly me's been spending all this time actually working with the stuff on my resume... How foolish!
Bunch of blotchy blocks - I don't get it. The commercials are cool though but if you're not really looking at or using the phone then would you judge it as successful? I guess sales are all that matters.
If Hulu would block anything but IE that's fine by me. They have the right to do so. I for one wouldn't let a shortshigted biggot like you in my house and I have every right to do so.
It's not about rights - it's about intelligence and shooting yourself in the foot.
Let's assume that Shell would only sell petrol to Ford trucks. Exactly how long would it take for them to go bust? Most petrol stations are francises. If you force the fancisee to lose two-thirds of his turnover he would gladly change sides and go with another brand. Exit market-share, and a couple of months later exit Shell America.
Demonstrably false. There are plenty of after market resellers for Ford products. They don't sell stuff for Chevy or Chrysler, yet the managed to stay in business. Can Shell switch to be a gas company that only sells to Fords. Sure they can. It'd be a much less profitable business through.
Should Goverment step in and force Shell to sell to all brands? Would you like to live in a nanny-state where goverment dictates who to sell to, or who not to sell to? And since your goverment dictates who to admit to websites and shops, it's a small step for that goverment to dictate who may enter your house.
Slippery slope indeed.
Hey, HEY! This is 'merica here! We're already socialist to a large degree. The government dictates to us all the time. I highly doubt that Shell could say "We're selling to only Ford cars" and get away with it here. Try opening a shop that sells to only whites or only men or only smokers or only blondes. You can't! The government is already involved.
Oh I fully believe you should be able to and you should suffer what you may in the free market place for choosing that business model but alas my "free society" government disagrees with me and should I attempt to exercise my rights to discriminate I will be tossed into jail at the point of a gun.
Nobody gives a rat's ass about you! Whereas people care about Hulu. Sure Hulu, can discriminate if they want - NYTimes does, for example. It's within their rights and go for it. However don't be surprised when people start ignoring you.
It's called intent idiot! Look it up. It's a world of difference whether or not you really intended harm. This is, of course, assuming the defense was correct in that it was accidental.
You've fallen for the false dichotomy that just about everybody falls for - there's only 2 contenders int he race. This is patently false but as along as people wish to willingly restrict their choices down to just 2 then you are getting exactly the government that you deserve!!!
Problem is that I'm getting the government that you deserve too!
The only thing that has failed was your guarantee stating that you'll fail using Ubuntu as a replacement for Windows. Maybe you'll fail, however it worked just fine as a replacement for me.
Well I, for one, AM anti ad! Look if I need something I know how to go out and look for it. In fact I'd use.... (wait for it...) Google to find it. But until then I'm not interested in whatever your selling at all, period, end of story.
I've never understood the illogic of trying to force ads on people who are obviously not interested in ads (as evidenced by them installing and using such things as AdBlock. Hello??? McFly? Are you in there!?!). Do advertisers actually really believe that somebody who detests ads so much as to go through installing AdBlock, when shown your wonderful ads will be unable to help himself and click and buy your product?!? Here's a clue - HELL NO!!!

No, they are wasting *your* bandwidth!

But doesn't support Linux 64 bit and the download site hands you a 32 bit version that flat out doesn't work.

Stated simply, many web sites just can't handle https.
I click on the link and all I get is 404. Ever think about caching this shit! Geeze.

Face it, MS oriented jobs pay like shit.

If the forefathers of the country thought the same as you then we'd still be under the crown.

Huh? Whether I'm looking at text or a movie I still don't want to see the lights behind me reflecting in my screen. What a stupid answer!
