Sure, when we just call people idiots, and give no proof of what they are idiots for, then there is no real threat to your argument, right! Nice way to show you point of view there, bud.
Have you even bothered to program with VS? Do you even know what VS stands for? I use M$ products all day long, and I know what their motto is....I would not be tearing down a company blindly just to jump on some bandwagon. I have proof that this mentality M$ has towards their OS users is pretty much the way some governments are run (cuba).. You do as I say and like it, or shut up....
I guess because you seem to lack the intellect to properly submit your point of view and debate towards the post at hand...or even a response to the original post, I won't take offence.... but alas, this is the way of the world... nothing I can change there.
You woke me up to a greater movement then I thought possible by one man. Had i points to give, informative comes to mind. I heard small things about Flynt, but not all...I will surely delve into it deeper now... As for being a patriot, I am an American patriot, as well as a Canadian patriot...I live in Canada I stand by a good government, and oppose corruption or stupidity in the government, which we have too much of in both countries at the moment.
I just hope we get out of this mess soon enough, I think both our countries could use a breather
Some decisions are blatant and obvious proof that management that decides what is what, does not always make a well informed decision, only what suits them at that moment.
I have to agree, someone sitting over top of a female squatting and taking a dump, seems to violate some kind of law, but when a guy does it to another guy, no problem. Pooper films as I call them have been around for so many years, they are just NOW figuring out they exist?
Snuff films, rape, etc...you have all types, but they have been around for sooo many years, are they saying we can't publish them on youtube or are they saying the contents of the film are illegal, this is what I would like better explained, as well, being so cryptic about what is going on in the movie, does not help the average joe follow any sort of precedent, if you need to tell us taking a dump on someone and filming it is criminal, then say it, stop indirectly saying some sort stuff happened, which should not have happened, but we think it was bad enough to prosecute.....sounds like that bit from Team America for christ's sake....or are we not allowed to swear anymore as well?
Hope they go to court over this and finally learn a hard lesson. You can't change the settings on a user's computer without his knowledge and approval. Doing so, makes you a criminal capable of going to jail.... if enough people set up a class action lawsuit, they WILL get M$ on this. Sony was caught and faced a big fine for doing this, as for M$ trying to use the old, well it's our OS and we can do what we want with it...those days are over as per the previous Anti trust case against them in EU.
When will they learn, I guess we are doomed to repeat are failures...no?
How about doctor administered only, instead of just COMPLETELY illegal. If i take about 5000mg of caffeine all at once, wont that damage my liver too, then maybe we should illegalise caffeine too? If people are stupid with drugs, then that is their fault, in Europe, you have weed which is legal, why are we still in this neo-nazi community where they have to wait to the last possible moment before legalizing something (ie - alcohol) before they realize once legal, then people will be more responsible with dosage, as they will have to become more informed!
Here come those replicators we heard about on SG1 or in that movie Screamers.....I thought we would have a little more time to set up before the onslaught started...!
They would actually benefit from sitting down with the google boys, and asking them about their power generating machines using solar cells...made especially for them. This conveys they pay no electricity, or almost none, (not including the small offices) for their huge data centers... but do you think the NSA cares about saving their tax payers dollars,of course not!
Too bad we can't force them to try and use the most cost efficient way of doing things, especially the military as well!
Yes, its about time we include these extreme costs for keeping a bad or insecure environment working... I work exclusively on windows with.net at work, and I am constantly reminded of the daftness of it all, having all these extra security measures and application, to narrow down chances of getting any viruses or malware etc.
Sure there are some rootkits and viruses for linux, but between you and me, how many compared to windows. As for the costs of admins for linux, yes...they might be higher, but when you compare how much it costs to bring in techs all the time because windows was scrapped or some server lost its boot sector, etc, etc...they lean towards linux and not windows in terms of cost efficiency.
I try talking to management about linux in a vmware environment to get used to it, and let them experience, the basic equivalency between both worlds...but there is always that linux is too complicated movement...I keep using what they want... although if ever they did change over to linux, then we would have to get an euqivalent to Visual Studio for linux, because this is the best tool from MS that is a full monopoly to date.
I would love to see some c++ borland suite try to tie in all different modules for creating in house development that allows you to tie into your office suite, etc... as well students are coming out by the thousands trained with.net where as regulr c++ or python or php, they tend to be fewer than....so until this changes....the movement will stay M$...unfortunately.
However, it is quite interesting that you mention about playing for the end game... I have to say , if you belong to a guild, and they need a certain class & spec, and you volunteer yourself/account to get the missing link to a raid group... chances are they will all be pitching in to lvl you at lightning speed, as well, the respeccing at lvl80 anyways means you are stuck relearning how to play for about 1 week, to use and know your character to the fullest extent.
Any guild will also pitch in to get your epic mount as fast as possible to travel the last 10 levels about 25% faster.
here,here, mod up....ooops used them all up, very informative you are though!!! I would mod you up, if they could give me more then just 5 damn points!
Not everyone..., I have 1 lvl 80 and thats it, a few low level other characters for AH and stuff, but the time spent playing, I have no time to waste to redo another character let alone 3 or 4 others to lvl 80...I do know the achievements might change (lose alliance if you go to horde)...but it would be nice to keep the overall achievements alone and just add to them, meaning you get achievements (sort of) just from switching factions.
I always thought once you have a lvl 80, then ANY character you make after that unless you answer "no start from beginning" should be like the death knights and start at lvl 55 this would make alot more alts, and alot more fun, for those having spent too much time already leveling a character.
Being a programmer, I have often dealt with these pesky little ads...the best thing they could ever do, is have a separate tag, that allows to set a timeout length of time for the ads to load, else they just bounce back not available. This would shorten the loading time of many windows, and could be a usable configuration flag set by the user of a browser.
First off, the US being slobs is something you are saying... I am saying the US politicians are greedy.
Secondly my GF is in import/export...so I hear alot more about the going ons of other countries and their importing taxes and such, compared to the average joe. I might dazzle you with alot of stories about how most countries are trying to AVOID setting up too much taxes to entice the US citizens to import rather then buy in their own country....but your mind is made up so I wont.
As for the taxes, I was merely saying what most people already think. What business does the government have taxing something on the internet where there is no real protection for the consumer. When you buy from the internet, you have barely any real protection...get stolen from and go to the cops about this, it usually ends there...you get more action selling to a stolen item pawn shop and having the cops rummage through there, then you do on the internet....why might you ask...because there are still many million computer illiterates out there.
If they were to take internet security more seriously (like extending consumer protection act unto the internet for internet transactions), then I would really advocate taxes on items. However, Amazon, or Visa or Paypal, and the buyer take all the risks when it comes time to extend credit for the purchase. If there is an investigation, it comes out of Visa, or Paypal's pocket, not the government. So why then would we pay money into this, when the whole reason for taxes is to better the government for the people...there is yet to be betterment on the internet for the people!
How many eStores have you set up, programmed or delt with, how many of those have you ordered from, and how many of those have you run, to give me a concerned opinion, or is this just a ranting and raving post?
I feel bad for the people with businesses at Amazon, but I find this the only way to make it clear to the gov. that not because they pass a law which no one wants, that we have to put up with it, being the sheep that USA is too often acting like, its people following blindly what the gov. says because they are the gov. and nothing else.... more companies should make it evident that they do not have to take it. Amazon will keep moving until they are out of the US and are only in parts of the world without internet tax....!

The movie title was better, and more poignant in remembering the movie itself...and itc contents
Thank you, at least someone else who feels the same way about linux vs. windows overall.
Here come those replicators we heard about on SG1 or in that movie Screamers.....I thought we would have a little more time to set up before the onslaught started...!

Are you enjoying your environment?
Linux, or Mac?
Yes, its about time we include these extreme costs for keeping a bad or insecure environment working... .net at work, and I am constantly reminded of the daftness of it all,

- but each will hold their behinds and waddle away from prison with about $1,050,000 after all is said and done
There..,.fixed that for you
here,here, mod up....ooops used them all up, very informative you are though!!!
I would mod you up, if they could give me more then just 5 damn points!

You got way too much time on your hands!
I spent all my points too soon, I would have given you mod funny for sure
Well you would use 1/3 less space, you could make the money back on those external drives you been hogging
