Quick! Think of something funny!

Try to get a couple mods to chuckle. When you detached morons are done, have a chuckle thinking about his little children. Still no emotion? Put down your PSP and picture your childhood without a father. I like humor too but it's too easy for people to take shots behind the internet curtain; would it still be funny if you told it to his family.
Take a breather and ponder life and death for a moment. Not TV death, real death. Do you think the magical elf Jesus is going to hand you an eternity in a bright white suit when you go? Get fucking real. This is it, the rest is the terrifying nothingness of the unknown.
Maybe I should just drive the "Information Superhighway" to buy a frickin "Laser". Seriously though, the thought of adding more cables to my computer desk, which already looks like an e-pubis, makes me wanna cry.
Was gonna say the same thing. Just pop in DSL with dillo and away you go! As far as I can tell, the virtual RAM partition is the only thing that stores info, and is destroyed upon reboot. Of course all your usage history are belong to AOL and Google , but hey whatcha gonna do?
All that useless crap is what turns me off about IE. I liked FF for the simplicity and usability. Now I'm uber minimalist. I like Dillo, which comes with DSL off the virtual RAM partition it creates. It's just so damn cool. Sorry I know, old news, but I'm enjoying it.:)
As far as a browser, for my needs, forget the lame flash intro pages, just handle graphic files and get me to newegg,/., and my MMO forum and I'm good.
Yeah and if they release my music purchase history, I'm gonna be pissed.

I cut my teeth in a summer class programming PIC microcontrollers. It would take some work getting kids up to speed on assembly syntax but they can see hands-on results fairly quickly (like programming LEDs to flash in sequence). Besides that, the limited language can be less daunting. The more adept students can dive into their own projects, like building digital weather stations that output readouts to LCD displays, or making their own joysticks. I like that it's a very hands-on, real-world way to delve into programming.
Have you ever considered that perhaps you knowledge of the process is less than complete?
Of course. I'm neither an analyst nor anything more than a novice programmer and lowly desktop technician. But I am required to sit through meetings where things of this nature are discussed and I'm entitled to post my novice opinion in here, just like you are entitled to your haughty refutations. So are you playing Devil's advocate here or are you really trying to say there are no avenues for a company other than custom, ground up solutions?
Well I know what IT position category you fall into... I was generalizing that at least where I work, they throw money at "slipstreaming the business process", which is essentially throwing money at coders and asking for a scratch-built data management solution. Are you trying to tell me we couldn't find a solution that's already built and tested, that couldn't be "adjusted" to meet need? Reduced to the barest concept we are talking about cubby-holing data in such a way that makes it more accessible, reusable and logical. I'm POSITIVE there are certain cases (perhaps many), that require a custom solution, written in-house, on company time, but that doesn't seem the most efficient way to me. Perhaps you are right, maybe I'm just an "ignorant" desktop support troll. Or was the flaming response just your self-preservation mechanism kicking in?
Are all these companies still writing software in-house? Seems to me it's cheaper to buy a catch-all product and have 1 or 2 coders customize it to suit that particular company's need. Most of the crap I see at my place is Access or SQL with a clumsy front end. Why aren't there modular/scalable software solutions all over the place? And yet we're hiring more and more coders everyday, meanwhile our help desk is overwhelmed trying to support all the crap our software shop is puking out.
Hire more desktop support.
Original? Fox is using the same modus operandi of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, but with 35% more screen-scrolling flair and flag waving.
Can you smell it in the air? There's a storm brewin' and the corporacrats are gonna get dropped like Bush's cocaine habit.

There's Switzerland and Sweden. All the same to a drunken sailor, I suppose.

With the Diebold UberFascer 6000, you can Fix elections AND enjoy a hard-earned single malt scotch!

If Earthlink signed a Do Not Resuscitate order, then DNR dammit! Oh wait.. nm.
you forgot evil. intelligent and evil.
The firing of the bolt may be silent, but then you have the victim screaming "OW! You just shot me with a frigging CROSSBOW!!"

Google is about to hear it. A lot.

Mein Gott! You are a moronic douche. There, I feel better now, sorry.
I'd say the next major leap in human-computer interface will most likely involve us boning our computers.
Sounds similar to the Killer NIC?
