Well, we were discussing government waste and how and which administrations spend tax payers' money. Those administrations spent most of our money (most of our netional debt) on wars. Sadly, this census waste is barely a drop in an ever growing bucket by comparison.
True, then again, the Clinton administration didn't start any wars, which is the biggest money pit; was under Reagan, Bush Sr. and is ever more expensive under Bush 43 now.
Of course not, I'm a programmer!;-p...but seriously, yes, I have, many times. It's also one of my favorite shirts, so I do wear it quite often. It just won't die!
OS/2 would have been nice, but IBM messed up the install routine (why did it flash up saying my CD-ROM drive was not recognised - how did it read the file from the CD to write that on screen message then???), IBM messed up a lot more than the install routine. I ran OS/2 for 2 years prior to the release of Windows 95. There were a lot of innovative and nice things in OS/2. However, I remember the amount of tedium and time wasted on having to configure a million ridiculous little settings to get every single program to run halfway decent and not crash constantly.
Then, Windows 95 came out. I installed it and every one of those programs just worked! I was a true believer in OS/2 and I wanted it to succeed and improve, but after that experience, it was Windows all the way for me.
The funny thing is, I am typing this while wearing my OS/2 Warp launch T-shirt, which has outlasted the software by many years. So did the really nice quality cardboard boxes the huge stack of 3 1/2" floppies the product came on. lol
"If you're a Web developer, you should check out a quick post about the number of types, methods, & fields in the.NET framework. It's a common misconception that.Net is only for web development.
Yet another example of poor moderation. This is a +5 Insightful when it is complete BS. The.Net doc is actually quite good and chock full of samples, most in multile languages. Thre aren't many development tools that can compete in this area.
Both the poster and moderator should really do their homework!
Take away Iraq, Iran and Pakistan, and news from all of the other countries in the world combined filled up less than 6 percent of the American news hole, the project said. Perhaps Republican Presidents aren't so bad fro education after all. Without wars, most Americans wouldn't even know these countries exist.
But serioulsy, American news has never featured news from around world, since to Americans, America IS the world.
You never know, though. From TFA: "The first effects may already be being felt. Notably, last week Microsoft cut the cost of retail copies of Vista, apparently because people don't see it as a necessary upgrade at the prices charged." Yeah right, like that has anything to do with the Eee. That's just because Vista is a piece of crap, has nothing to do with anything else, really!
Plus, dropping memory prices makes running any OS cheaper.
...it more and more appears that the goal of the present administration is to produce a kingly executive. One where oversight by the public and for the public is nonexistent and the whole process is simply inscrutable to us even as were are expected to knuckle under. You mean before this it didn't appear that way? Man, some of you are slow!
The good news is that this gives you 10 years to forget everything you now know (or learn how to hide that knowledge well). Knowing technology is a sure sign you'll never become a technology manager!
Try learning/studying some completely unrelated things, like poetry (perhaps even Vogon poetry).
It always amazes me when we see some "new" technology like this in the U.S., when it's usually something that has been used in other countries for a long long time. For example, red light cameras that give tickets have been used in Germany since I was a kid (and that's been a while now ).

Then again, I can't even type 2 lines without typos. I'm sipping cappuccino now to alleviate that problem (c'mon, it's not even noon!).

Sorry, just the first thing that came to mind.

So, how do you really feel? ;-)

Hey, it should only be moderated as Flamebait if it's factually incorrect! ;-)

You're comparing the move from one version of Windows to another to the move from Windows to Linux?
Can you score me some of what you're smoking?

What a load of crap! Why would an obvious BS troll like that get a positive score? ...oh, right, I almost forgot what site I'm on.
ROFLMAO! ...but really, leave Marlon Brando out of this!
There's a sheep joke in there somewhere.

As someone else already stated, read Dilbert.
...and I agree with your post. Good luck getting anyone else to do it, though.
...sorry to be picky, but you probably meant hoard.

ROFL! Yeah, Apple is the problem with Linux desktop adoption. Just keep telling yourself that.
