  1. what if you *like* writing code? on Lowering the Odds of Being Outsourced · · Score: 2, Funny

    Last thing I want to do is sit behind a desk and listen to Jimmy Lipschitz tell me why his project is late again. Then I have to go to Kenny Pigfauker (my boss) and tell him ProjectY will be late because ProjectX had unforseen circumstances, and this is the last time it will happen. Yeah, fuck that. I'd rather re-write TPS reports.

  2. since when does natural selection reward stupidity on iPod Update to Address Volume-Level Concerns · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What the hell happened to the legal system in this country? First some lady dumps hot coffee in her lap and sues McDonalds for a win - despite the fact that common sense tells you "coffee hot, drink later". Next, smokers sue big tobacco for a win, despite the warning labels and old people on oxygen still dragging on that coffin nail, and now people are turning up the volume, going deaf, and suing Apple. It seems to me that this is just hindering the natural selection process, and muddying the gene pool with retards. The people bringing these lawsuits should be terminated to bring the natural selection process back into order.

  7. Re:rogue on Gaming Now and 20 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Another good example of that is The Oregon Trail. Text only.. althought I think there was a map of some sort showing your group's progress... I always got my ass kicked, but the game forced me to imagine the covered wagons kicking up a plume of dust as they plodded across some sandy plains states somewhere (with someone dieing from an infection). Most games are so visual now that you r imagination can't compete.

  9. These corporations made their bed years ago on Dismantling the Myth of IT Being a Dead-End Career · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Now they are complaining. Tuff shit. These companies got their monetary crack-fix two years ago by dumping thousands of jobs offshore, dropping their operating costs, and causing a snowball effect for their competition to follow. Now they bitch and whine they can't find anyone to work for them. I wonder why.

  10. not DRM, but rather money on DRM More Important Than Life or Security? · · Score: 1

    Ultimately, money is more important than anything - to most people.

  11. Re:Less and less relevant? on Windows Vista Delayed Again · · Score: 2, Informative

    As long as the executives at Microsoft are capable of maintaining their OEM agreements with the popular brand name manufacturers, Windows will always be relevant.

    And this may be on the decline.

  12. not quite completely transparent on World's First Completely Transparent IC · · Score: 1

    I was kind of expecting the 'transparent aluminum' from Star Trek only applied to integrated circuits. This isn't something you'd want smatterd right in the middle of your windsheild - wtf?

    95, 98, NT, ME, XP, Vista. It's all the same busted-ass promises. If you're still buying into all this bs, you deserve a sign that says "dumbass" in place of your t-shirt. Oh - and you may as well forgo any money on future upgrades and just route your entire savings to:

    1. Security, security, security
    This has never be a paramount feature of Windows V.anything. In fact, it's been anything but the 3 s's. We are still waiting for the IE fix as well as the grandiose top priority on security.

    2. Internet Explorer 7: IE gets a much-needed, Firefox-inspired makeover
