Actually there are two good reasons why they might do that. Well, two reasons anyway.
First, it appears like you're getting more value for money.
Second, no matter how brilliant a developer is, the upper limit of what he can be paid is likely pinned either by a) some arcanely stupid matrix function jobspec rule created by HR, or b) 10% less than his boss.
Content schmontent already. Man, you are like so totally web 1.0 or eve 0.7. You really need to get with the program. I bet you like use vi or links or whatever that dos intarweb explorer that can only use the small tubes was called. Now go and listen to the Beatles on your 8-track, Mr Square.
The Link trainers probably qualify as analog computers, even though the computations were, I believe, performed by pneumatic bellows and other non-electronic devices.
I wasn't aware that electonics was necessary. I've heard people describe a slide rule as a simple analog computer. And didn't the UK government used to have a water driven economic simulator?

I could picture it in tec support. Just make it choose randomly from "Try turning it off & on again", "have you tried searching google" and "RTFM!!!".

Sitting in a lecture is the antithesis of learning! College is a highly inefficient way to learn as a result of this.
A lecture is a method of transferring words from the teacher's paper to the student's, without passing through the brain of either.
One of my lecturers told me that at one of the few lectures I attended. All the time I thought i was lazy, I was just being efficient.
No, you missed the point. You steal, you're a thief. Does the dictionary definition say anything about whether you can afford the thing, or why you stole it?
It does not. It doesn't care why you did it, neither do I, and neither does the law - or rather, it shouldn't.
Every kind of asshole behavious is a disorder these days. It's just bleeding heart liberals making excuses for criminal scum because they can't cope with the reality that life isn't a fairytale world and there are bad people in it.
How else to you explain the occasional case of wealthy people who can't resist stealing small items from shops, even though they could easily have afforded to pay for them?
I must have missed the memo - the one where it's only stealing if you take something you couldn't afford to buy. Doesn't matter two hoots if you could afford to buy the shop, and it soesn't matter why - you steal something, you're a thief.
Sometimes they steal things they don't really need but can't resist taking anyway?
Not only does the guy talk crap, he talks totally ungrammatical and repetitive crap. All it needs is a few end-shifted verbs and it Yoda would sound like.

Well we had it tough...

Sir, I went out and bought a hat specifically so I could take it off to you.
LiveZunes, shurely? P.S. I advise anyone who has MSN 7.5 installed to stick with it.

I did a quick check of my students' work and apparently you're right.
1 and 2 I agree with. But in practice, 3 is they ignore you. Alternatively, 3a they sue you and 4 is you're hauled off to gitmo.
Hmmm ... are you German, by any chance?
It spelling mistake, but it also grammar mistake: subordinate clause not any verb.

Can it play ogg vorbis?
Then they're stupid thieving bastards.
But guns don't have any usefule purpose apart from killing people. Computers do. You could say the same about cars.
I agree, it's like saying that people suffer from kleptomania, when the truth of the matter is they're persistent thieves.
