Oh for crying out loud - yes In Rome and all that but one is allowed to debate the wisdom of a super-government dictating product pricing of a private company. I don't defend MS at all costs but I do see that the way to "beat" MS is by producing a better product, not by overstepping in legislation.
No, fair price does not mean equivalent price points - they are not the same product. Or lets turn it on its head - how about Free Software charging the same as MS ?
You know, the more governments interfere on how a private company should price its products the more worrying it is to me. Rules and regulations are one thing on how a company should conduct itself, but a company should be able to price its product as it damn well pleases. If people don't think its value for money then they can go elsewhere and look at the competition - thats what a free market is all about.
Not excusing but highlighting the hypocrisy that some people show. If those very people are not vocal about the 'wrong doings' by the candidate of their choice why should I take their judgement seriously when the scream blue murder of someone else? Their judgements are based on who someone is and not on their actions.
unauthorized blowjobs as in "a sitting President sits in a court of law and lies about sexual harassment"?
I couldnt care if he lied that he pinched an extra cookie from the cookie jar. If you're President you bloody well honor the legal entities and laws that you yourself are creating for your citizens.
The only people who believe that the debate is Humans OR natural cycle are idiots like you.
Post when you become a climatologist.
Are these are the same climatologists who's models can't even accurately predict the weather in a few days time? And yet I'm supposed to except that they have a clear and unequivocal understanding of our environment and GW ?
In the 1970's, the worry was Global Cooling, because global temps were on a down swing, so we're all going to die.
Yes, a small number of cranks were pushing the global cooling story, while the overwhelming consensus of climate scientists was that it was not going to happen.
And one of those "cranks" were the BBC - they produced a program, "the climate machine" (or something along those lines). Oddly enough the very same BBC that originated this story thats completely the opposite.
Absolutely right. PowerPoint is a tool that can create some hideous presentations, and from what I've seen people typically take PowerPoint up on that offer. The parents suggestions are correct. Generally PowerPoint presentations need to support or reinforce your actual presentation, not the other way around. Even worse is that PowerPoints are emailed \ put on the web because its a handy file format.
Its true that the majority of people that come into the US, typically Mexico, are doing so from an economic basis and not technology.
sometimes the reasons that refugees will come to the US is because the US was direcly involved in events that caused them to leave in the first place
I'm sorry but this is an absolute meagre value. Vietnamese, a small amount, Korean, the same. Never come across someone from Genada or Nicuragura. Cuba, yes influence from the US, but not so much that 'caused' the mass of people to move.
Now, in the software\hardware companies I've worked for in the last 10 years I would say 10-30% of them have people from a foreign land. Myself I'm from the UK and moved here because of the technology industry.
"Countries such as China and India only have about three to five percent of their graduates living abroad. And it's a similar situation in Brazil, Indonesia and the former Soviet Union. By contrast in Sub-Saharan Africa, skilled workers only make up four percent of the total workforce. But these workers comprise more than 40 percent of people leaving the country."
"Most of these college educated professionals from developing countries go to the United States, as well as the European Union, Australia and Canada"
so to summarize your statement: most of the influx of people into the US isn't technological or economical - its because they're seeking refuge from US bunker busters by fleeing half way across the world to the very country thats delivering them, the US?
you know, things would get so much better if the 'anti's' could hold a civil and reasonable dialogue when discussing world events.
um, actually the republicans have been in power in the house since 1995 upto recently during the internet rise. Oh, and it was democrats, Kennedy and LBJ, who took us into Vietnam for the full time they were in power. Also Korea was Truman and WW2 was FDR, both democrats.
So perhaps you can clarify what you mean, or more interestingly, what you're smoking and what history books you read when you do?
Agree with you to some degree but actually we should vote for someone on what we value most - for me voting for a leader (President\PM) thats far and away his\her character.
A British PM once famously said when asked what he feared most, "Events my dear boy, events". A leader of a country is defined by how he\she acts and reacts to events. Don't get me wrong policies are crucial too but I think policy when voting for someone at the legislative level (Senate\House\MPs).
oh come on now, they've been saying that for decades. And besides we're talking about a 20% drop between 2006 and 2007. Whilst much of the music I find is crap to my taste there is some good stuff around, and I haven't noticed a 20% drop in quality of music a year ago.
The last time Netscape won a browser war was when it won over Mosaic. if I remember right it won, in part, because it included a bunch of non-compliant tags. Then IE came around and did much the same sort of thing to Netscape.
However when Netscape was throwing out 4.x they still had the upper hand but that series was horrible, just horrible. Then to fix it they went all AOL integrated this and that. I have little sympathy for Netscape.

Vista - iPod Killer?
·
· Score: 1
Vista only breaks iPod support if it (officially) worked at one point AND THEN it didnt work with a SR\patch\update. Vista is a new OS with a new set of APIs and ways of doing things that Apple have had access to for months. Its Apples fault for not getting their act together in time.
Actually, its more like his company car is a Ford Focus but he hears about this company Dodge. Dodge says they can produce parts for his Ford for zero dollars TCO and are much better quality than the Ford authorized parts. So he tries it out. But he finds that he can't just replace it, it needs a bit of mill work, a different kind of bolt but it just won't quite work as is promised - he's even told that he has to read the f'ing blueprints.
So he gives up and is willing to pay for the Ford authorized parts because it works for him. He wants to spend the time doing other things.
If its the recruiter that is lying to you remember one thing - they don't receive a dime until you accept. The point is this, make SURE everything is rock solid before you accept. If its the 11th hour and the job details are different then you either ask the company to change the details to what the recruiter they hired told you, or, you tell the recruiter to make up the difference. Until one of those things happen its a deal breaker.
Oh? You wanted the complete offer in writing? I'm sorry. You must accept and sign that offer in one week or it will be retracted
Um, then tell them to get their arses in gear and send you the contract overnight. No? You don't like that answer - get a fax. Don't have a fax? You have an email account and they can send you the doc with the details
If you're willing to accept a new job without any documentation and quit your current job you've only got yourself to blame if it goes wrong. End of story. If they refuse to send you the details then I think it may be a bit of flag.
I couldnt agree more. The BBC has gone downhill terribly in the last 10 years or so for well reasoned and fair debate without bias. Its not only online Have Your Say but primetime tv such as Question Time or Newsnight.
If you ARE doing this then I DO want the police to KNOW about. If you think its a straight ticket to Gitmo then you seriously need to start understanding all the other processes that would land you there.

Flamebait - not in the slightest. Or is it because you don't agree with the opinion?
