I use the YH-J70 and it was cheaper than the equivalent iPod, plus it plays videos/radio and has some other cool extra features. The navigation interface is also better. Aside from all that, it also doesn't have some of the problems of the iPod (fragility, skipping, unwanted bootups, etc). So I think a newer Samsung will be even better than the iPods.
Funny how everybody rants about everything not related to these layoff plans at all. Like Netware, Suse, Groupwise and the US economy. What seems to be the case is that some Novell acquisitions didn't work out and those are the primary targets.

As much as I agree with you on everything else, the UK is not the only EU country with a large Muslim population. Therefore, the comment was possibly right... many of the EU countries will accept Turkey if only to alleviate their own cross-cultural problems.
Since when is morality grounds for ANYTHING? In modern society, pragmatism should ALWAYS dominate over moralistic views. Morality is doing nothing but criticizing those who are doing SOMETHING. It's basically the negation of life and there are always other considerations for what gets done, whether in science, politics, philosophy or anything else that matters.
This means that scientists alone are to devise what is moral for them to research and how to proceed. Not atheists, christians, activists or any other -ists that promote their opinions gratuitously. Those concerned and involved with the work are solely responsible what they do, without ignorant ideologies breathing down their neck.
Clippy's busy dealing crack to the fish living inside the screensaver. Either that or he's browsing the 10 GB of porn that downloaded itself to the harddrive. Then later he starts infecting all the new binaries with that exotic rash from his tail.
MSN search results are now much more up-to-date than Google's. I don't know what it is but since Google went public it has almost stopped indexing new sites (and I know from experience, I do engine submits daily). Also, the google rankings are completely absurd (I think they're guided by traffic views, not by any coherent standard of relevance).
You have children and joint filing deductions. It's not the same as someone single with an above average income, who is almost in the maximum bracket. You probably only make peanuts anyway, since you're in the bottom bracket. Same would be the case here if I made a lot less money.
And no, I didn't imply that taxes were too high, I only implied that 35000/year is not enough for a qualified programmer. Don't draw tangential conclusions.
My income is much higher than the figures I posted, which were just an example used for calculation.
As for the government, I would rather pay an extra 10% in taxes than deal with the US Bu*shit neocon.
"Porn is a HUGE industry"
Not quite that big YET, I think they estimate it at around 15 billion a year worldwide. It can easily grow from there I think.
Not yet, although I hope they do soon. I'm sick of all the people with self-important attitudes and a blackberry on which they type all-important memos to god-knows-who.
50k USD = ~35k EUR
Minus 42% income tax in a european country, leaves me with ~20k EUR net/year. That's about what rent costs for a 2 bedroom apartment in the city.
Slave wages!

AM radio is technology from 50 years ago or more. Get rid of it now before we're dragged backwards to the dark ages.

"these 'religious types' are running our country"
Yeah, and the majority of people appears to support their bigoted, unscientific, regressive views.

Well, when mainframe-related tech does well again, it will be safe to say that the high-tech boom is finally dead.
"So what's to stop Google..." Oh, not much, just contractual limitations and international law, minor stuff like that.

I see many job offers for "experienced programmers" at 30k EUR/year. An HR manager however can make 60k EUR /year. Go figure.
