I'm currently sitting in an office in India, where 4 guys are waiting for their interview to a 10000Rs/month programming job.
That's about $200.
A month.
For a 60hr/week job.
And they'd be happy to get it.
The salary for local government workers is about $1-9K/year, according to yesterday's local paper. Engineers could probably expect $3-8K/year in India. And there are thousands of them just in my city.
Amen to that.
I currently live in India, and I've taken my flash drive to about half a dozen photo shops to print pictures.
Every single time it has come back with some sort of virus, that would have tried to run on my computer if I hadn't disabled AutoRun on my laptop. By now I usually open it up on a Mac first, to delete the stuff...
From TFA:
As a result, with no internet and no Microsoft Word, Schubert dropped out of MATC [...]
Schubert's computer came with Open Office [...] She says she wasn't aware it was compatible.
She had a system she didn't know how to use, and didn't bother to learn (and no one seemed to help).
This is why [insert year here] was not the year of the desktop.
Reminds me of an episode of Columbo (the pilot?). A guy killed someone while his accomplice got a speeding ticket photo wearing a cutout of the murderer's face and driving his car - thereby providing a "perfect" alibi.
Naturally he got caught in the end, so don't try this at home...
Wedding advice on slashdot?
You have got to be kidding...
But seriously - A fancy ring is totally worth it.
Mine is Palladium/Platinum split diagonally - looks mostly like silver but if you look closely you can see the brownish tint of palladium on one side.
My wife thinks it's a symbol of how close we are (or something like that - I never listen to her anyway).
I use Opera Mini on my mobile phone and it's free. So I'm not following this point. There's Opera mini (free) and Opera Mobile (paid for).
I think Opera Mini is only free because phone makers (Nokia/Sony Ericsson/etc.) gave bags of money to Opera.
Why though? Why not default to assuming sites haven't been updated. That way all the old sites work. That way, there's no reason to stop coding like a retarded monkey.
Forcing users to do things "the right way" will make most of them at least try.
Remember the "C:\Program Files" and "C:\Documents and Settings" folders? In order to use them, programmers had to use long filenames, so support for long filenames was soon implemented in most programs.
Not everyone who uses IE6 does so by choice. The admins at my last workplace refuse to upgrade, install an alternate browser, or allow users to install an alternate browser.
Ever heard of portable apps? Opera and FireFox don't require an install.

Isn't it funny that this is the only pissing contest known to man where "mine's shorter" actually wins...?
There is no SI unit for shit, you insensitive clod!
150% of zero is still zero.

Nice rebuttal. If you think this nice DRM^H^H^H diesel-soaked lobster is garbage, why eat lobster at all?
Does this mean I can run old DOS games in a browser?
I think others will be more interested in running DDOS programs in your browser.
You must be new here...
I think she's worth the full $3600, plus the wasted dates with the 4 other women I met.
I'll give you $4000 for her.
Maybe Monty Python was on to something...
Most people debunked it using your arguments.
He couldn't be German. His sentence at the end does not his verbs have.
Does that mean Yoda was a Nazi?
Actually it was only about a year ago that a woman DID get a humongous Iphone bill.
It could have been worse. Imagine if she received it 2 years ago - before iPhone came out...
Probably dragging to anywhere in the window works now.

Which SCA are you talking about? I dont want to know what toys Sexual Compulsives Anonymous are using...
Now only the PNG is free, and you must pay for the vector images.

If you treat everyone like they're out to get you, in the end many of them will want to...
