Yes, but to be fair, the majority of people aren't going to sacrifice their lifestyle - better give up on that pipe dream right now. People will care, until you ask them to change something about themselves.
Not stupid to me. I don't care where he lives, I do care about how much pollution he causes. I do cut him a bit of slack, but come on, surely this would bother even him?
You almost might be amazed to realise that the US is a huge place, many times bigger than Holland, and that not all regions get cold. So not all houses need such great insulating.
the companies would do better to make better products.
Sounds good doesn't it, but the real world doesn't work like that. Look at Vista, it is certainly not a better product that Ubuntu or Mac OS. Being a better product rarely has anything to do with making it in the real world.
Yes, this comment always gets made. The thing is to make it hard enough so that it is not easily uptaken by the majority. Making people go through some hoops is enough of a deterent for most people. Even the r4 card at the moment is enough to stop most people, since they haven't heard about it.
Anybody who is spending all their money, so they have no leeway is screwed anyway, even more so if they are let go.
A recession is already here, how we react to it decides how long it is going to go on for. Short term solutions will make it last longer. But doing stuff like reducing pay/hours is actually a good response to this.
It takes a while for the layoffs to hit the higher paid/more qualified people but it will. Unless things improve quickly, which they won't.
It is called the trickle up effect. The lower paid jobs can react to this quickly, because they have less money in the bank, and their employees are protected less by law.
Really? I mean I am against it as much as the next person, but the whole point is that it encourages department to share information better. You really can't see that you yourself? Moron.
Yeah, people get stupid ideas in their head like "everything is working fine for me, why should I upgrade?" Or course, these aren't the people with stupid ideas, it is people like you who need to upgrade all the time to feel like a real man.
What are you, fucking retarded. Most people complaints are that it uses too many resources, and doesn't offer much over XP. This is what win7 is supposed to fix.
It is not. It is about making the assignment sensible. For example, if the teach didn't specify that, you could get each assignment in a different format. Student would have no problem getting together and spending more time on getting as many formats as they could, than on actually working on the assignment. The teacher already has enough to deal with, without some stupid parent not being bothered to get open office, and save it as a word document. The teacher is already fighting enough battles in the classroom, without taking on the fight for equality in word processors as well.
It is people like you, who make extra work for teachers, just because of your ideological principles (which I agree with), who make it harder to actually teach. There is a time and a place.
Yes, unless someone has every single fact, then they should never write a report. Brilliant. Of course, this way we will never have any reports produced, but who gives a shit.
You clearly have never dealt with any mathematical models, where you HAVE to make assumptions to get it to work, in the real world. You can't now anything.
This is a worthy report, it makes you think about things. Clearly you are one of those morons who would card not to think about things.
Bullshit. If you can show an employer something that you actually worked on, they will be much more impressed, than if you can't. I list that I have developed j2me and recently iphone, and they always want to see what I have done.
I thinks something that gets left out of University it real world experience. And this is something that you can do while studying. Get as much real world experience as you can, even if it is working in support, or even interning for a company. Approach big companies, write letters, talk to your parents and their friends. Get into the real world as soon as you can, even if you aren't getting paid. This is how you tell the serious people from the jokers, those that did work while they were at uni. Even working in a computer store gives you experience in dealing with customers, over the phone, and maybe even support issues.
The other difference of course would be that the Neurosurgeon would send you to see someone else, while the chiro would have no problems trying to cure anything with their magical back manipulations. As long as they keep getting paid.
I think you would be a complete idiot not to be impressed with Apples growth in this market. They also have huge mindshare, not simply because they are apple, but because they have produced a great machine. They came into a saturated market, and produced something unique and great, very hard to do.
What is wrong with running win 98se? If it does what you want, then what is the beef. It is really fast, compared the monster that is Vista. The only problem I have is with its lack of USB support.
I don't think you understand what this means. I will certainly have to leave the basement, and may even need to go outside! Think about that for a sec.
Because it is not the same. It is not like you buy cable, then you buy programming, you but one package. It is similar to the AOL internet, where they provided the connection, and the content.

So in your first analogy, someone earning $60,000 gets cut down to $50,000, they are only losing $5,000. This is the point the grandparent was making.

in fact I can't believe I wasted the internet bandwidth to respond to this topic, my bad....
And aren't we all glad you took time out of your busy day to do so.

Well, since cars kill more people than any other man made object, then I would say yes.

Ok, so how are you judging that it is running faster, apart from just looking at it.

Yes, radical green agenda - saving electricity. How dare anyone limit the amount of shit I can pour directly or indirectly into the atmosphere.
I would fully support this. Screw those fat asses that just watch tv all day.
This would mean that regular viewers of tv would get fitter, and maybe a life, or more people would start to read.
