If they got it, no one else could use this worthless buzzword. Now everyone has a chance to launch cloud computing on the web 2.0 while hyping it in the blogosphere.
Minimum pay in the NFL for a first year rookie was $285,000 last season, so yes. Even being the worst in the NFL will pay a helluva lot higher than most jobs. I don't know nearly as much about the economics of other sports, but I know many are similar. If you're not that good, you move on. I've had jobs I sucked at, I moved on.
Just like the NFL, if you are good at what you, you will most likely move up. If you are mediocre, have fun staying on the bottom rung your entire career and enjoy being disposable when the company is having trouble. Grow some balls and do something else.
Oh bullshit. So if you love your job, and you're getting paid to do it, you don't really love it. Being an athlete is their job. Guess what? If I don't do what I'm asked to do at work, I get fired too, yet I still follow the rules.
I know some professional athletes (I used to work for a pro football team), they love the sport, they live it, they breath it. They have a passion for it that trumps about anything else.
Be realistic for a second please, you think on show as grand as the opening ceremonies only had one glitch? Seriously?
There is no such thing as a show this big without multiple (read a lot) of glitches. They are covered up well, quickly fixed, or not noticed, but they are there. This one was just in the open for everyone to see.
An $11 fee to enter downtown NYC is not the market working, it's nothing more than government taxation. It's manipulation of the market, the very opposite of free market.
Bull crap. An architect doesn't build the building, the carpenter does. An electrical engineer working for the power company doesn't hang the lines, but they layout and design them.
The same thing can go for almost any profession, software included. I don't code and no desire to code (I'm a chemist and have no interest in that part of computing), but I can tell you when the interface sucks and what could be better.
My opinion is, people who won't accept criticism from others because "you don't code," or "you don't know what you're talking about" are nothing but elitist.
It should be the same as physically opening up someone else's mail from the snail-mail box. Being electronic changes nothing.

I don't care if he goes to prison in the US or in the UK, but he shouldn't be free. The fact is though, that he committed the crime against US property.

*Sigh*
Agreed. Steam games are the only PC games I play. Well I do play the old Red Alert series, but as far as newer games, steam is the only way I go.
Agreed.

Amateur means you are not paid to play/work. Simple as that.
Being sponsored has no bearing on being an amateur and I'm fine with that.

Don't confuse the two.
to use my computer, period
oh yea, the only connection I can get here 1.5/384 for $30/month. hardware is cheap, bandwidth is expensive.

He did the crime, so he should pay the time.

They only work if you have a nice flat, stable surface. It wouldn't work too well in the passenger seat of a car or on the bus.
Good point. I hadn't thought of that.
Of the two times I've seen a laptop dropped (to the point of something breaking), the screen broke, not the hard drive.
SSD's do nothing for this.
I keep my curtains open during the day. I thought was usually the case?
Hell if I know. I wish they would get with it!
I would rather wait till they finalize the spec.
I don't think you realize the true definition of poor.
No one is going to by an Eee on $3/day. No matter what the price.
Not all of us have desk jobs. Thanks.
They can't compete with the U.S. military?
Tell that to the Iraq insurgency.
No thanks!
One of the great things about current technology is the ability to unplug and sometimes I just want to do just that.
A human could probably do in a week or less what our rovers have done over their entire life. The same goes for phoenix.
Alderaan comes to mind.
Yea, I finally gave up on DD-WRT. It was unstable and a resource hog. Tomato is a MUCH better option if you want a web gui.
My pings dropped 10ms and the QOS actually works.
