  1. NO WAY on Is Microsoft Crawling Google? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft would NEVER do anything unethecal! Anyway, 300 websites should be enough for people to search from.....

  2. Generalist - Specialist -Generalist on Open Source Expertise in Short Supply · · Score: 1

    In the begining of the IT BOOM the demand was on an IT generalist in the middle and towards the end of the IT BOOM it shifted to wards IT specialists and from what I have seen in the post IT BUST it has once again shifted to companies looking for IT generalists.
    I got my current job because the witdth of my skill set not the depth of those skills.


    Open source deffinitly plays into this as more and more corpations adopt open source products.

  3. All you can eat! on BT to Offer Free Internet Calls · · Score: 1

    This seems like one more step towards the all you can eat model. For example when Internet service first came out it was billed by the hour. The same thing is happening with long distance today but there are several options for unlimited long distance. I see this being offered more and more by more and more phone companies. At some point I think the billing per minute model will have run it's course.

  4. Who would buy the code??? on Windows Source Code Seller Arrested · · Score: 1

    Heck I don't buy Windows in it's compiled form. I surely wouldn't pay for a plug nickle for the source code.

  5. Good I like ITUNES on Winamp Down for the Count · · Score: 1

    ITUNES is MUCH better than WINAMP....... MuUUUAHHHAHHhHHhHAHHAhah

  6. Capitalistic Society on EA Games: The Human Story · · Score: 1

    You forget that we live in a capitalistic society and most American's bow down before the all mighty dollar. The coder's have a choice of where they work and where they don't. In today's IT environment I am sure there are 5 people waiting for the job of the guy that didn't like the way EA was treating him.

    Least we not we forget the slogan on all American money: "IN GOD WE TRUST"

  7. Journalism is enertainment for profit on How Journalists Distort Science with Balance · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Journalism is enertainment for profit and sciense is well, SCIENCE!

  8. OS X and Firefox on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I run Firefox on my Apple. Much better than Safari or IE. Though I don't even think they are supporting IE on Macintosh anymore.

  9. RainMan on Kim Peek, aka Rain Man Focus of NASA Study · · Score: 1, Funny

    "January 12, 1965. Very snowy that day. 12.2 inches of snow that day."

  10. BRING IT ON on Halo 2 Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    It took long enough but I've got it NOW so watch OUT!

  11. I wonder how many MCSEs would fail on IT Literacy Test · · Score: 1, Insightful

    With all the bootcamps and such it doesn't take much knowhow to pass. Although there will most likely be a bootcamp for this test soon enough!

  12. Moved on Techies Migrate in Search of Work · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I've had to move 3 times in the last year for work. Maybe one day I'll find a job where I can stay a few years at least, either that or invest in uhaul.

  13. Nothing could be worse than Tivo on Microsoft Takes on TiVo · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I just hate the noise it makes when you cycle through the channels! I know it's petty but I know what I like and don't like.
