taking into consideration the debt crisis that spreads in the western countries and its consequences (unemployment etc), the population will be out of work long before 2045. So no need to worry about those schemy robots taking our jobs!

Now that's a blast from the past..in the 80s these were quite popular

One must wonder if BT is willing to force the ISPs that already have a SIP trunk with them, to sign this deal. Or maybe that's where they're aiming at.. Either way good luck with this stupidness

By the people, for the people in other news, corporations rule the western world

They could just go out and announce a competition for cleaning these 170 PCs for a maximum amount of, i don't know, 80k? and let the underbidding company take the job. Oh, and 190k for 170 *desktop* computers!?!?! OMFG thats insane money, that's above 1000 euros per PC which lets you buy a high-end system with a descent graphics card. What will they be doing on these, play Crysis?

Not so these last years, because since 9/11 the US citizens have abolished so many of their rights and freedoms in the name of the "war on terror"

Reading the summary I' say it's a good time to live outside the US... ...but then again history has shown that most western countries sooner or later copy the US laws, so damn, we're all fucked

Finally, this. People seem to take this always-online DRM so serious, like it's the end of the world or something. Noone forces anyone to buy these new always-online consoles or games plus there are and will be always other alternatives. Fuck the xbox and fuck their DRM, I call Faster Than Light better than any title that hit the consoles these last 2 years so no reason for excessive nerd-rage about the dickhead executives decisions in the big-title companies

So how does his CV look like?
Hobbies:
- Fishing, basketball, hacking
Memberships:
- Leader of the LulzSec group

It has been written again and again by many slashdotters, every time a stupid article came up about the supposed "downfall" of microsoft because of the Windows 8 failure and low sales. Ok tablets and smartphones are selling like shit, but most people still have their 5-year-old or so PCs/laptops around with windows XP or 7. Unless you're into gaming, there's just no need to do any fucking upgrade. Why go out and buy a new laptop with windows 8 or upgrade your existing windows to 8 ? Will it make browsing or receiving emails or writing a document or watching a video faster or better ? No. Will people stop using windows anytime soon? Again no. Why? Just look at the alternatives: OSX ? You need a Mac which is expensive. Linux? Nope, if you ask any casual user they wouldn't consider it for a bit. Hell, i'm into the IT industry and i have colleagues who are laughing at the idea of switching to a Linux OS because they want something that "just works". So no, windows ain't going away in the near future. As for the enterprise, AD/Exchange are a big plus but i think the biggest advantage for Microsoft comes from Office and more specifically Excel. The only change that might hurt MS in the enterprise is the movement of big applications towards a web-based model where the user will only need a browser to use the application.

replace rats with humans and as George Carlin said on using dead people as fertilizer, "you want recycling? lets get serious"
