It never ceases to amaze me that we allow people who are paid millions to collectively strike. I mean come on your being paid for 1 day of work (ok maybe it even takes a month to prepare, but still) more then I get paid in a year... Maybe us high tech workers should start unionizing.. Oh wait, if that happened in our industry they'd probably just fire us and get new people or just go out of business. I've never figured out why out society is willing to pay huge amounts of money on entertainment. Sports stars, actors, etc. I mean are pro baseball games that much better then your local college or high school game? But those criminals (well some of them anyway), get paid millions and who pays for it? The average Joe and his family end up paying $300 to see the game (ok it can be done cheaper but think of the cost of those beers and hot dogs)...
One of my pet peeves... There goes my Karma
I would RTFA, but as usual the site is slashdotted well before I tried it... Yeah April fools jokes do get old.... At least I wasn't taken in with the article over at http://www.macosxhints.com/... You know you're a geek when you realize it's April Fools day because a 3 Microprocessor SMP system is in efficent, and thus you know Apple would be crazy to build it...
This one on the surface sound halfway reasonable, though the big clue is when Apple announces something within minutes it's featured at www.apple.com....
Actually that's where alot the problems begin...
The bible is not written in plain english, not even plain armaic, latin, or hebrew!
Even disregarding the ambiguity of translation (Which is significant!!!)... We're still left with changing times, different societal points of view, and the fact that many of the stories were likely made up to prove a point, not to be understood as historical fact...
