I can garantee, this will not be a panacea for those of us who do not want to be 'computer savvy' and have to mess around installing software, or maintaining it. It is just as easy to get digitally-screwed with online content whether it's your desktop or your pay-pal account. One good thing is that it's another option in the desktop area. We need more of those.
"Apjit Walia, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, agreed, noting that AMD is enjoying at least the perception that its products are better than Intel's chips."
Interesting quote. I've never seen an intel chip outperform an amd chip. Even the k62-450 had more snap to it over the PII-450. I replaced three dell boxes a couple months ago that had p3 3.4 processors in them with fx-55 homegrowns. The guys that use them say they never want their intel boxes back.
We ran a test on the 3.4 P3 and the fx-55, converting a 20 meg Parasolid into an IGES file (this is all cad work). The p3 finished in something like 3 mintes. The fx-55 did it 1.75 minutes.
The speed difference is 3.4ghz vs. 2.8ghz. you can see those numbers make no sense anymore.
Where else in the world can capitalism legally exploit human rights for big time savings? Not only that, but all the manufacturing waste can be dumped in the river behind the factory - no EPA!! woohoo!!
1) The people problem. As with any change or edict, there are people that will be naturally resistant towards it. Others will naturally go along with it. You can cause a whole new outbreak of problems when this happens that are so far unrelated to the original problem, that you will wonder wtf happened.
2) There is no way to solve every problem that comes along with (insert your favorite language here) efficiently. I don't care how sexy or catchy the name sounds. Writing windows apps in assembly *sucks*, and coding in 32k of ram with Visual Studio *sucks*. Everything else is relative.
People get paid to use their judgement. Let people use their best judgement when it comes to picking their tools. If their ego or judgement is a problem, deal with that accordingly.
Are these delta patches? Will I need to completely remove my original heart, and then fully install an artificial and then apply the patches, or will the patches work with my original install? Is there going to be any DRM content in the patch base, or do I get the source code with it? Grrrr.. it's enough to give one a heart attack - gah!! Circular reasoning with recursi- *doh*...*thump*...
I hope I can get it in my apartment without the landlord seeing it. We aren't allowed to have pets, but the girl that lives next door has a goldfish, so wtf? I can just see me and my Dalek going out jogging through the park with the rest of the pet owners on a saturday morning. Seeing that cuddly Dalek with a big smile on it's face not knowing which poodle to exterminate first is just sheer joy I tell you. We live joyous lives through our pets.
The dupes aren't going away, deal with it. You're all offtopic, where's my bitchstick...
WTF article is actually saying is that people judge on how pretty/attractive it is - not on the actual content. This is why new releases of shitty software are usually wrapped in the equivalent of a sexy paint-job, and why Baywatch was so popular.
You're a fool. And yes, the company you work for is also an idiot for using john.smith@megacorp.com as your mandatory email address. All your doing is making an index for yourself into the biggest rolodex on the planet. People argue that some names are so regular no one could possibly narrow it down, but a simple whois can help narrow things down to a particular state. Public legal records from there can make things more interesting.
One person posts a something negative about this thing and everyone wants to turn it into a slamfest. Has anyone installed this and checked it out? Does anyone know the developer personally? Age is not the end all measuring stick for intelligence, and neither is a Phd in whatever. stfu.. christ.
There is nothing that puts more fear in a Megacorp like employee awareness. Especially when they know if they treat someone unfairly, everyone is going to know about it. I've seen temps treated pretty unfairly at times, almost as if they agreed in writing to be treated like a doormat when they signed the contract. Good job Wu.
That means that for every 20 developers at US Megacorp, 1 of them was out of work. If that was you, this "notion" is still bad news. The reasons behind the downsizing exodus are also a bunch of crap - at least the ones we got from our PHBs.
Most people can get by with a 250 watt power supply these days. A hard drive takes around 25 watts to spin up but after that it cruises along pulling only 4 to 6. Check this out.. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000353.h tml
Find some other way to compensate for your lack of whatever instead of burning more energy just because it's "bigger-than-yours".

As I recall, 8 rows of 7 stone beads. 1st grade. I tried eating the red ones and ended up with orange lips all day.

Yup. When someone says 'go fuck yourself' you actually could. See who gets the last laugh then....

15% is the usual bit. Take the total of your bill, and divide by 10. Divide that result in half and add it to the first answer. Capice?
$27.37 / 10 = $2.7 (to make it easy)
half of 2.7 is about 1.3 (the 5 of the 15% which is half of 10)
2.7 + 1.3 = 3.9 = $4.00 (round up to be nice)
15% of $137.24: 13.7 + (14/2) = 13.7 + 7: about $19.70 ($20 bucks)
Not a day goes by that I don't thank the stars above for all these pills that help me .... uh... help..to...um.. what was I saying?

This is friggin awesome! Is that coming out with Vista?
The article fails to mention if these drivers were on their cell phones while all this was going on.

If you bare your ass to the world (linux) everyone is able to count the pimples. If you keep it covered, how does anyone ever really know?
And remind Hobbes to bring his scarf.
I give it a life expectentcy of 3 days before the traffic causes it to choke, gag, and implode - consuming itself, anus first.

My hearing loss got so bad from using earbuds that I can even hear what I read now. Typing is even difficult.
