Why the fuck you need open source? You aren't going to modify it, you just think open source is synonymous with free. My company uses its book keeping / payroll software to do this, but from reading the comments here, apparently america doesnt have humane vacation / sick days forced upon employers, I guess its that "free market" thing that works so well...
fuck enterprise. they can pay for what they need. maybe enterprise users shouldn't be opening 40 tabs if they have low ram. nearly all the ram usage is from the pages being opened, all that really matters is the browser has the features you want and it releases the memory so it doesn't crash the whole computer after a day of running. Why can't slashdot geeks be more focused on awesome, instead of the needs of poor people?
Pointless, content free article, where some guys say some opinions about some stuff. Where the fuck is my picks-up-my-clothes-washes-them-and-dries-them-and-folds-them-and-puts-them-away robot?
Huh? huh?
Can someone get moving on this shit? I can't afford a fucking human servant! And I'm too fucking lazy for this shit! Here take my money!
As an aussie, my advice is to change to a different super fund with options, or, more likely, read your super funds documentation and realise you are full of shit (probably). My fund allows me to choose how my super is invested, I can go with their "managed" options, or direct into cash securities, bonds or various forms of shares. I can divide it up and put parts into different options if I so choose.
Last year I got ~9% return and the year before that a shade under 21%. 2009 was a shocker of course, with -15% but overall I'm well ahead. You have the option to change to a super fund that offers investment choice, so drop the crap and take charge of your own destiny, or play dumb and whine. your choice. At least your current way allows you to blame someone else if you make the wrong choices.
Self managed super is for rich people who can afford to have an accountant/ financial adviser on retainer (is that the right word?) You would be very dumb to really self-manage without the advice of someone who actually understands how to invest money.
Maybe the difference is that in australia (here), it is the rural dwellers that make the country money. They pay tax and see monuments go up in the cities, but city dwellers are mostly parasitic "service" providers. They contribute nothing to the international trade balance, only consume each others wealth.
Why should california get a share of profits not made in california? Apple already supllies a large number of high earning employees that pay a high income tax rate, and if california has waived any other sort of taxes in order to have them headquarter there, then california has already worked out they will be better off with all that income tax minus the land and property taxes they waive, than without any of it at all. But why should california get to tax the profits earned in nevada? This is why states having corporate taxes is dumb, there should be a federal tax that is distributed to the states, in a fair and equitable way.
Not like it is done here in Australia. Here the government takes the taxes paid by some states and gives it to others. There might be a justification to give a better share to poorer states, but here it is taken from the big earning states that don't have great infrastructure and given to the ones that are the most developed! apparently they can't pay for the upkeep of all the nice stuff they have bought.
If you don't pirate games, it is. At least was. Thanks to consoles being good enough, the pace of pointless graphics improvements has slowed. You no longer need to buy a new graphics card that is more expensive than an entire console, every two years and replace the entire pc every three to four in order to keep up.
I was there before i got my xbox in '05. Never had to buy a graphics card since. Onboard is good enough because I don't play games and "desktop effects" are fucking pointless. I (and the majority of people, see console popularity for evidence) don't care about buying a game so we can pull ourselves off while pointing out how detailed the foliage in a game world is. It doesn't matter. We play for fun and entertainment. If I want to see highly realistic scenery I can go outside. I want story, challenge, involvement, better interaction with other people in a multiplayer game, content!
The graphics have been good enough for years, the biggest thing missing from games is due to moral censorship. I do blame the console makers for this, of course, their family friendly policies are largely to blame, but the various world governments are obviously just as much to blame.
Think of the children! Fuck them, they aren't the ones paying!

Don't worry those guys then convince themselves they have a better visual perception than normal people so they don't feel stupid that they paid said 1000's. Much like the audiophile who buys a massively expensive sound system. Anyone asks them the hell why, they subtly (or not so much) imply that they have a hearing range that is far in excess of your standard human, and of course a better appreciation for music anyways:)
for fucks sake, why do people think linux should work with hardware that is fucked? not just old but plain fucking broken? they never complain that windows doesnt work right when their optical drive is fucked, but when it linux, its linuxs' fault. If your dvd drive don't work no more get a fucking new one ya brokeass mf. A new internal drive is like $25 ffs! if you cant afford that go fucking dumpster diving.
Well I guess if you buy the game and don't play it for somewhere between 5 and 10 years, and miss out on the install once FIRMWARE and you finally try to play it for the first time after the xbox live servers go dark, it may not work.
fucking retard
Network protocols are easy to monitor and reverse engineer with the right equipment. Why can't people reverse engineer the interfaces and duplicate them in their own software? Oh yeah, the State says it is illegal.
why do you keep repeating that? "The State says it is illegal" there is no single entity known as "the state" and obviously you refer to US laws, but this article is about the EU fining microsoft not the US. You need to realise there are many governments in this world besides the US, each with their own sets of stupid, yet different laws.
Legal systems do not even work the same way in every country with this "common law" stuff and bizarre US civil law. get over it.
Unfortunately it isnt really a skill with quite a bit of value in it. The pieces of paper you show when you go for the job are much more valuable. And either way there are already a hell of a lot of people with some semblance of programming skills they will never have a job using, turning every little african child into a computer whizz is not going to get many of them far, they need users to support.
I don't know it just seems like someone has said, "grassroots action isnt working for some reason, lets try doing things from the top down instead, maybe that will work somehow"
the fact that like 4000 out of the 100,000 pledges seems to be a pointer to why the grassroots hasnt worked. no one cares.
Actually, it's been wildly successfull, for it has triggered WWIII.
Hahahaha
Enabling a president who resembles an ape, to attack any country that he cannot force to bow to his demands by threat alone is hardly world war three.
Then you've never bothered to learn the theology- or even listen to your enemy.
thats because as I said before, i don't give a shit.
They are not my enemy. I don't care if they managed to destroy the Us with millions of suicide bombers, I don't care if the US turns the whole of arabia into one big sheet of glass with a nuke.
I just couldn't give a fuck less.
Well, considering that neither one of those was among the stated aims of the Jihad, and has never actually been voiced by any Islamic terrorist, I'd say you're way off.
actually my second point, that of drawing attention to the activities of the US government in those countries, (by attention i was referring to the attention of the non-comatose portion of the US population, sorry for not being more specific), indeed seems to be having some effect towards the first two of the four goals you claim the "terrorists" to have.
A lot of US citizens might indeed be wondering what business their military has there, and why they should be in the firing line for their governments insistence on protecting and arming israel

Sewing shops usually have two sided velcro in big rolls, sold by the meter.
i mean come on. bing? really? how many years on and that name is still fucking retarded. it never had a fighting chance.
not worth one cent for both combined. wish I hadn't paid for them, feeling ripped off

Head wash -> back massage -> chiropraxis -> open heart operations -> brain tumor removal -> handjob.
umm. I think I can speak for all present when I say we are more than comfortable with that handjob being available right now.
