Finding a hot chick must be pretty hard as well. I mean, I guess you feel her to make sure she doesn't have any moles or a moustache, but how can you feel pretty? Can't be done.
They tried to do that in the US, but it never really took of. I think it is quite hard to make such a change in the US, most people are very resistant to change, like using the metric system.
The US mint wanted to use coins, it would have saved them about $25 million a year, but nobody liked it. They really should have just forced the issue, like they did in Australia and the UK. Of course, everybody hated it, but we all got used to after a while.
I watch and listen to news the "old" fashioned way.
From the village wise man then, or from the town crier, or from the trader who visits your town? Oh, so not really the "old" fashioned way then. I bet there are some people who will only get there new from the radio, or the newspaper.
You know, I don't have an ipod, it takes me 10 minutes to walk to work. But i also don't feel the need to tell people that I don't want one.
SO no, you are not a villager, merely an idiot who can't quite handle the concept that the world is made of different people wanting different things.
He is right. The real people who aren't interested moved on from the story, and never clicked the link. Well, the real ones who aren't assholes, and feel the need to rell everybody that they aren't interested.
I have no intention of ever getting a second life account, but I am still interested, partly because work is a bit boring right now, partly because I am interested to see were things go. Someone making a million dollars from it is very interesting to me.
Fine, then you quit, since it isn't extreme, just to prove you point. Oh, I am sure you could find lots of excuses not to quit, when it is your job on the line.
Tried peerguardian, and it blocked slashdot. Every over site I use seems to be fine, but slashdot didn't like it. Had to get rid of that (or at least enable all http).
I have seen that before, but only in the case of people unable to manage time and delegate work. I am sick of these incompetent people being pushed into management positions, and then can't understand why they have to much work to do. If you can't delegate work, then get out, make room for competent people.
I hate to be a Microsoft apologist here, but what you said was stupid. The realy issue here, is in finding the people to setup and manage Microsoft servers vs Linux Servers. What Microsoft is basically saying, is that there are more people out there, and they cost less, who can configure Microsoft servers. This is probably because they are easier for people who aren't that familiar with networks to use. It is difficult to refute that.
OK, I am sure you find it much easier to deal with your Linux servers, but once again, that is not the point. They point that this report makes, and what most businesses are interested in, is the abundance of Windows Admins compared to Linux Admins.
"Do you think that pirates should be able to profit from the hard work of starving Musicians, or should we implement enforced DRM to protect the rights of content producers?"
"Do you think we should let terrorists attack this country without reprise, and use nuclear weapons against us, or should we invade iraq and stop them?"
1) People are commodities. When one quits we can just hire another one jus as good...
A company can't become too relient on one person. An employee can leave anytime, of their own volition, so you need to ensure that no one person is irreplaceable. How could it be any different?
2) Cost, cost is everything. we need to squeeze every penny we can from floor space.
Office operating costs re not negligible for most businesses. They need to considered, especially if you are located in a city, and funnily enough, this is were most people want to work.
3) Everyone else does it so it must work.
Most companies really are in the business of making a profit, not experimenting with different office layouts.
4) Offices are reserved for high skill positions, like management.
Amazingly, it costs a lot of money to give everyone an office. Would you like to take a pay cut to get an office? Didn't think so.
Not being Christian, there might just be a chance that he hasn't read the Bible.
It seems to a lot of people that when you are talking to a Christian, you have no idea what they believe, since they seem to cherry pick what scientific evidence they are willing to accept. So you neve have any idea how to talk or argue to them. The problem has existed for 100 of years, since before Galileo.
In San Francisco, we don't really have this "hot club" phenomenon.
Psst, they do, it is just that nobody invited you.
I agree with you, any place you line up for has to be bad... unless you have tickets. I have had to wait before to go see a DJ at a club, when I had tickets, and that sucked. 2 hours once. But for a normal night out, as long as they server beer, I am there.
Well, I would go somewhere else. This is crazy, to me at least.
But then, what do you expect from brisbaners, too much sunshine gets to you after a while. You will do anything to get out of the heat, and to a nice cold beer (shame they don't server coopers!)
Well, they could just release a google theme, atop of a finely tuned Linux distro. If they really threw their weight at it, they could get it running really well.
A better option for them, might be to fund improvements in Linux, and maybe some new applications. Spend some of that money they have for good. In fact, most companies should be doing this, the advantages are obvious. At the very least, the have fully functioning OS that they can use to bargain Microsoft prices down (by threatening to move to it!)

Only $1,100.00 new from a reseller.
Wow, that sounds weird. Like $500 new from a second hand car dealer...sure, I now you are correct, but it still sounds weird.
Guess that I am no expert, nor can I always spell wierd correctly.

Yeah, I saw that movie to, pretty funny. See no evil, do no evil.

The compression scheme has been available for years. It is the decompression that has proved to be a little tricky.
Or interstellar travel and colonization is harder than we think.
Or interstellar travel and colonization is as hard as we think, but harder than we would like to dream of.

So you are saying you quit, then somehow managed owning the company? Very clever.
Yes, I can see such words of widom and irrefutable logic being requirements for owning a business.
And personally, selling old computer parts you swipe from work doesn't really qualify as a business.
Then you disappeared in a cloud of circular logic! Just like god a few decades ago.
Fine, then you quit, since it isn't extreme, just to prove you point. Oh, I am sure you could find lots of excuses not to quit, when it is your job on the line.
Tried, it, it didn't work. Looks like is was just me, so I am going to go shoot myself.
Hey, If I am going to work in the Porn industry, there is only one job that I will do, and that aint creating slideshows in flash.
And I think it should be up to him to choose his morals, not you, what do you reckon. Maybe it is gay porn? Yeah, that made you think.

Can just imagine the questions:
"Do you think that pirates should be able to profit from the hard work of starving Musicians, or should we implement enforced DRM to protect the rights of content producers?"
"Do you think we should let terrorists attack this country without reprise, and use nuclear weapons against us, or should we invade iraq and stop them?"
And yes, I have stopped beating my wife!

Why would you want an office with two doors? No wonder you were turned down. Why not two ceilings, or desks on the walls.

Thanks to attitudes like yours, it probably will be very soon.
