Did you not see the dark knight or inception, both really good stories, and good visuals on the big screen.

I don't understand people who say stuff like you have, you can avoid the crap quite easily.

Just wondering what else you haven't heard about? the iPhone, Android.... wikipedia... the sun?

DDG has been making progress in certain circles, some people really love it. I haven't, i still like google, but i have been hearing about it for a year now, maybe longer.

I can imagine the question you asked on the forum "Anyone know any apps for finding coffee shops?", rather than, "can anyone recommend a good app for finding coffee shops?"

Right, so the fact that you have a description which is vetted by Apple, so must be partially accurate, and images, you still have trouble figuring out what an App is supposed to do. I have people like you email me all the time?

      Why does Coffee shops USA does not work in England? - because its USA.
      How do I add a location? click the + button.
      Why doesn't it do x? Because it didn't say it did x in the description, so I have not fucking idea why you would expect it do that.

Why don't you pick out some examples of shitty apps you have bought? Then we can tell whether it is you or the app. Overwise, you are just coming across as another joker.

You're so right. This one web address moving, imgur.com, is going to cost Godaddy millions, if not billions or karma. Or about $10.

This will change nothing, Godaddy have already started lying about changing it's stance, when it has not.

Its about price. Shorter warranties mean a cheaper price. And people have decided on cheaper prices. This is not that complicated to understand, you just have to try. Don't be afraid to think once in a while.

Whatever you say about Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, they new how to use paragraphs.

Construction is temporal. We're trying to _reduce_ energy usage, believe it or not.

Who is we? What fucking world do you live on, where more than a few people are trying to reduce energy usage? Time to wake up chuckles.

Maybe it is, maybe it is cheap and everyone is using it. You know most devices running Android are not made by Samsung or Motorola, but by no name companies you have never heard of. Just as people weren't chosing S60, they were chosing a Nokia Phone, a lot of people are not choosing Android.

Android is a great OS (better than the old ones, not as good as iOS IMHO), and there are top of the range phones coming out now, that offer more features than Apple. It is popular at every level.

Make sure you keep it a secret.

Beowolf cluster? Is that some new fangled grid computing system?

So yeah, the guy in the 665546 id number tells us all about the old days. Come on!

You could try reading it, then you would see they bring up some good points.

Of course, nothing showing that this merger is not a stupid idea for consumers, but they do make some decent points about why ATT wanted this merger, problem with spectrum, and running out of space.

Just because an animal mimics laughing, does not mean they understand humor, or are laughing at something. Just as a computer playing the laughing sounds does not mean it either.

Except you do not. I have met plenty of IT support staff who were not that bright, did know the difference between java and javascript, have never used Unix or Linux, did not know what FTP or SFTP were. All they new was how to click the boxes in Windows Server, they could not write a short script, did not understand anything about certificates. These are the people in charge of my machine.

Now not every IT person is as bad as that, but a lot in big companies are. They did a 6 month course on how to administer windows, and lock all the ports down, and don't understand why I have a problem.

First, often enough the draconian restrictions are forced on us by upper management. Like... I might not care at all whether you're looking at Facebook at work, but if upper management says we need to filter the web usage to block Facebook, I'll do it. I might even let them know that I don't agree with the policy, but if they overrule me and tell me to implement the filter, I will. It's my job, after all.

The solution is simple, when someone comes to complain, or you have to explain what a user has done wrong, TELL THE FUCKING USER THIS. Don't act like an asshole, make the situation clear to them. Why is this so hard for you to understand? You do not even consider this a possibility do you, it certainly did not come up as an option in your comment.

Second, I have to comment on your statement, "This is especially true in software shops, where everyone tends to be fairly technically literate..." Honestly, software developers and the "fairly technically literate" are some of the worst people to support. They'll constantly break their own computers and make work for the help desk staff.

I know, breaking the machine by installing a web server so you can see an application, running nefarious software like Debuggers, Compilers, Web Browsers. How dare they break your systems by doing their jobs.

If you are too stupid or gutless to stand up to management, that is not my problem or fault. I have a job to do, and do not want you getting in my way. That is what I am paid for. I will try not to break anything, but sometimes I need admin access, especially when dealing with shitty microsoft products.
