This is so wrong, and you get the problem we have here in Australia, where different states have different curriculums, considering different things important. This makes it hard to know what someone coming from a different state knows when they apply at University level.
All part of their dastardly plan. IBM saw Desktops and normal laptops failing years ago, the got out while they could still get some decent money. All these years they have been working on the new netbooks, waiting for just the right time to swoop in and take the market. Now is their chance!
It is not about not getting it. It is about getting as much as they can, which is the whole ethos of the financial world, and at the heart of capitalism. It is free markets. It is not a immoral way to be, it is a moral free way to act, and it couldn't be any other way.
If you want to buy my second hand car for $200, but someone else will pay $300, is it immoral to sell it to the second person? No, and this is no different to they way these financial people think.
You know, it might not be the greatest idea to have this webpage with obselete details still around, where any potential employer can easily find out. Not only that, but you actually seem to be proud of having this out-of-date website...
This guy is not a potential employer, why do you expect him to ask for you CV?
Sure a pro would charge more than $100, but someone who isn't a pro, would not get anything normally, and this is a chance for them to get $100 for a simple design.
You need to look at the big picture, and both sides of the coin.
Sony is one of the worst companies in the world. This is even worse than normal, because they used to be one of the greatest engineering companies of all time (much like HP), they fell from grace when they started doing stupid shit like handicapping their MD music device and all other devices, including root kits on CDs, pretending they support MP3 when they didn't, creating their own non-standard and inferior memory format, etc...
Fuck off you ignorant fool. There is no problem in giving someone access after they have been fired, as long as they are not complete dicks. Just because some complete loser tries to fuck up a company, out of so many millions who haven't, should be evidence enough that this is not a good idea.
Most people are decent, and would not do this, no matter how pissed off they are.
So fucking what. Most people in the world don't want this for a number of obvious reasons, but because some morons out their feel some psychological need to get there OS like this, we are supposed to give any weight to this argument.
What else do you get piecemeal?? Your house, do you get two walls now?? Your care, with 1 wheel, 2 doors and no floor, so you can save up for the other 3.
So with a little experimentation, I discovered that the "enhanced security" system will take any string as an answer.
Really? So you discovered that the program doesn't actually know this personal information about you? And it can't actually tell the difference between a normal grandmas name, and a random string? So you figured out that the system wasn't actually AI alive? Congratulations.
The general sentiment and tone of your comment is exactly the same of when XP was getting ready to come out.
That just makes it even worse. When I did use XP, I changed the style to classic, so the major change in XP was to make it look childish shit. All the time, Mac OS was looking amazing. Win 2k is still their best OS, because XP IS Win 2k, with a new shitty interface, more bloat, and some bug-fixes. Congrats Microsoft.
6. Any Color As Long As It's Black - The myth that the Model T only came in black probably comes from the reality that almost 12 million of the 15 million total Model Ts were black. But, in the early and late years of Model T production, the car was produced in many different colors, including blue, red, green and grey. Oddly, many these hues were so dark they were hardly discernable from black, another reason the myth lives on.
Good point, but don't be too quick to compare Japan and the US, the US is huge, with a population spread out very far. Japan does not face these same problems.
The government doesn't have to own the infrastructure, it requires that the same country who owns the wires, isn't allowed to sell directly to the public.

You must go to a different fight club than I do.

Hard, especially when you entire system is built on doing it one way, and suddenly you change some of the core logic.
You are clearly not a Software Developer, or at least not a very good one.
THe good thing is, if you leave your lights on, you can use the battery to start your truck.

hmm... i wonder why you can't find a decent job.

Or you could hook up your satellite dish, or you could ask your jeannie to fix it, or a million other stupid ideas.

I tried using thunderbird, it was so shit. Kept on doing insane things, almost as bad as Outlook.
What do you people not understand, gmail has a great interface.
The difference being that Bot-net has a much better, faster and more stable server built into it.

What a completely idiotic argument.
So people that do the right thing, get penalised?? Very nice strategy.
I knew Microsoft shipping dates usually slips, but 5000 years in the future is a bit much, even for them.

How dare anybody be rewarded for their hard work, which i really want to read.
Maybe you go into work everyday and don't expect to get paid, but some people like getting money.

This is one of the many reasons we hate Microsoft - this is to the few Microsoft lovers here who aren't paid shills.
Come on, you have to be extra sick to want pictures of deaf and blind kids.

And if you borrow these notes to someone else to learn from them?
Sounds like we got some illegal learning going on.
Or, even easier, don't use Windows.
