In order for America's Billionairs to be competive, their workers need to adapt themselves to the Foxconn production model and lifestyle. Drs. & LLBs need to take a pay cut too. What good is it to have a mega yaught if you can't afford the $10,000 per hr for fuel because you pay your workers too much?
I only consider money lost when falls out my pocket, and I dont pick it up. According to the IRS a loss is something once you had and now you don't. The quaifiing loss has to be due to no fault of your own. Failing to recognize opportunity doe not mean you lost anything. When the circus comes to town did it lose money because it could not charge all for use of all the roads to and in town? Sounds like someone is not satisfied with ticket sales at the door and their portion of the receipts from the side shows.
I dont think that 16 bit programs would see a proportional gain if such a thing as a 3.7Ghz 486dx existed. If anything the newer python-jython programs are better because those programming languages are more tolerant of the hardware running the programs. In therory a 20Mhz 386 + AMD or Intel math coprocessor was close to the same thing as a 486dx 20Mhz . Yet some software then would not run on different brands of memory with same motherboard/processor/coprocessor combination. I totally expect a 32 bit programe that works on a 512 Mb Celeron 2.0 system & win XP to work just as well on a 4 Gb Phenom 1090T system &win XP , the only difference should be execution speed.
Back then when they were broken I fixed them, now I just get a new one just like everybody else.
we now have i-phone & droid type devices & Kde went over to them? gnome is going to do 4-6 core cpus, multi 32" lcd screens (think dual ati 5870s)? It seems that netbooks and 13.3" notebooks will get stuck with either too much or too little. Do you think any one will market a 32" 6 core laptop with a GTX480 video chipset, soon? I dont understand what direction any development is going after reading any of this.
1. AOL WAS a content provider.
2. I am not paying Comcast.net to be my content provider.
3. I own an antennea.
4. I own a blu-ray player.
5. I have a cell phone.
6. LIFE CAN GO ON without content provider access.
7. Netflix & Blockbuster still send movies thru the mail.
8. I am not impressed by Xfinity.
9. Taking the cable box and modem back to Comcast is an option. I
have used that option previously.
10. If enough COSTomers leave they will be like AOL or they
will adjust.
11. NO BUSINESS CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT CUSTOMERS!
My IT dept found HP/Dell to be a good thing. The personnel selected by the the good ole boy/girl system cant seem to get beyond the plugging in and turning on point of understanding PCs. They dont have skills to trouble shoot hardware and barely understand the software. They also wont be transferred to another department, even if it years for them to get up to speed.
It dont make sense until a virus trashes and crashes the system & desktops. Having your system take a day off can cost more than saved by letting Dell do it. Recovery is simplified if all desktops are the same.
Well your arguement has merit, but in.gov environment 20% of the work force do 80% of the work while the rest watch & critisize** the work. This results with only 80% completion and a discussion on the 20% remaining will be about should we budget so we can finish the project next physcal year, thereby using the discussion to consume the the remaining 20% funding for the current physcal year.
It is ferbotten to discuss linux and rolling your own PCs on VA property. The VA systems 614 MC's average 1000 or more PCs per installation. I am not sure how many are used by the regional offices but I would guess that the VA owns or leases about 1 million PCs. The other problem is the 80% that observe were chosen for who they know instead of what they know.
I have seen leased PCs used by the VA that were over 6 yrs old and still on lease.
He is just following the successful business practices of Microsoft and Norton. All he needs is good on house lawyers and capital to buy up or off those litigations that may be headed unfavorable endings.
Yep killing the stock price too.

Besides it takes too long to kill them. Probably have 2 litters of rats before kidney or liver failure. With the high yields they get with DeKalb Genuity VT, the rats will die fat and happy. Hmm, I think I will switch from Jack Daniels & Canadian Mist to Capn' Morgan and E&J.
Most Universities are thought regurgitation factories. This is just one of the tools used to bend your thoughts conform to policy. Buffett, Gates, Jobs and Wozniak would not have succeeded had they followed the conformed thinking required to graduate. Remember they kicked the top 1% of the grads recruited by IBM, HP, DEC, Burroughs, Xerox...off the top of the heap.
Remember a good Civil Serpent Does not think outside the box and WMU is a Michigan public institution. Resistance is futile.
Use a yard sale XP computer for their network and WMU stuff only. Use a separate Verizon or Sprint wireless computer for everthing else. If that requires travel off campus, do it.
If you travel to Mitchell County, NC there is an old emerald mine there. For a dollar you can purchase a bushel of dirt from the mine. That's kinda like YouTube charging to view content. Of course you may keep any gems you find.
taxes lets see
shipping: its like a tax, every state it passes thru if ground shipped gets a cut. AKA fuel tax, dont for get the person packing it pays taxes. The person driving the truck pays taxes. If it is sent by air, there are the airport fees. Planes dont land and take off for free. Does the recieving the sale loose, no not if things are being produced and shipped from the state.
Now the USPS does not pay taxes on fuel, thats if delivered. But the employees do.
UPS, Fedex and the others try not to.
For some things the internet price with shipping costs more than going to Wally world and just buying it. It is often a matter of spending time; driving there, parking the car, searching the aisles, waiting at the check out and going back home. Some times you can order on line and pick up. I do this when it is offered. Yes, you do have pay local taxes on local pick ups.
The precedence for what has been proposed was established during Reagan-GHW Bush terms. The U.S. goverment relieved the Teanmters union of the responsibility of caring for the accumulated retirement funds for the Pan Am workers. 1.3 billion was handed over for the Pan Am management and entrusted in their care. 3 years later only 200 million could be accounted for. With the teamsters union insistance 3 years later 200 million was recovered. From where and whom.... well, now that is a secret.
To sum up:
1. Establish doubt & confusion.
2. Get the goverment blessing.
3. Declare bankruptcy.
4. Use creative accounting to influence bankruptcy judge.
5. Give what is left of the retirement funds a proper burial.
6. Buy ocean front property in the Caymen Islands
7. Open a new business with the buried funds.
GM is at step #2 of this this process.
Oh BTW the only people involved in the Pan AM thing that got jail time were the teamsters.
I believe God logged off as SysAdmin about 10,000 years ago. He/She is currently taking a day off. He/She will most certainly be pissed when logged back in.
I had am sprint cell phone and dicided after having had it for 3 years it would just be cheaper to share minutes with my girl friend. I called the sprint service rep. I was assured that the account would be closed. I turned the phone off and put it away. The next month I got a bill for service. I went to the sprint store for an explaination of why I was being billed for service that was cancelled. They told I had to call sprint to cancell. So I called and I was again assured the service would be cancelled. The next month I got another bill for 2 months. So I called for an explaination. I was told I was billed because I used the phone. The only call registered on the bill was the the call to sprint service. I again refused to pay the bill. Sprint finally sent me a notice along with a bill that my service would be cancelled because, I did not pay the bill. Sprint still insists I owe them for 3 months service.
Note: The leopard does not change its' spots, it just hides in bushes and trees, so cant see them.
Go to blockbuster or netflicks and order search for 'corporate citizen'. That documentry explains the social status of a corporation. At the conclusion it concludes that flesh and blood became second class citizens as the result of a supream court decision in the 1800s.
Most people have heard the term irresponsible corporate citizen and dont realize that it is the norm, because the owners and executives do things thru thier company that would get them jail time as an individual.
If corporations were flesh and blood , most would be convicted felons or ex-cons with multiple convictions.

I think this is what you are referring to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_Massacre It's not slave labor, cuz you pay them.
To use the cloth computer..... Wouldn't you have to catch the shuttle cock 1st? Then you have learn to curve the bullets path also?

Since it is Sunday "Amen Brother" To me this is like watching 2 coyotes fighing over a racoon, that neither hunted and killed.
On the i386/i486 I changed the mobo crystal to overclock the cpu.
