Because the director of IT or whatever his title is will want to be able to put on his resume that HE moved a company from a "Legacy" and "Outdated" system to a modern "web based solution" that enables "greater productivity" among the workforce saving "millions of dollars". Now, he can put that on his resume and go for the CTO, CIO, or whatever jobs.

I've seen it and it works.

You misspelled it - it's frist pospt! God!

You see, it's a technique. It takes years of practice. First, you drink a shit load of caffeine. Then, after it gets in your system, you bring up Slashdot. Then, and only then, you get in touch with your inner self, connect with the Universe, and connect with your higher power as you see Him.

Now, type blindingly fast "First Post". Hopefully, it will come out fist5 posts. See how I did that?

Again.

firsyt posts.

See?

Now, you try.

You know, he's right. GM went whole hog on the SUV market because that was were the short term profits were. And in the meantime, the Japanese manufacturers, thinking in the long term as usual, kept making the small fuel efficient cars as well as the their versions of the SUVs.

Troll indeed!

Yes, for another brand. Tesla, I believe, will be a luxury sports car brand in the spirit of Ferrari. Meaning, technology developed for and by the luxury brand will then be perfected and moved to a grocery getter brand, maybe, the "Maxwell" or better yet, the "Edison" brand of cars.

Let me explain something to you and everyone else.

Every woman who enters the sex industry is a head case. They have virtually NO self esteem and they use. Ask yourself, why does a woman do that? Many of them are actually pretty sharp, too. Some of them make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and they blow it. Some of it they blow up their noses.

Secondly, I see time and time again, men who give those people their hard earned money thinking that person "likes" them; hence why those women think men are losers and suckers. I'm not saying why I know this.

Comparing a stripper to a tech support engineer?!?! What?!?

God! I have to draw a picture every fucking time I post here! Jesus Fucking Christ!

Strippers or any other woman in the sex industry basically thinks men are "suckers" and "losers". All women in the sex industry are head cases. Stay away from them.

Ya know, there's these reports in the news about folks who are "breaking tax laws" and what not. Let me ask you folks this, How many of you check your local tax laws before engaging in a money making activity? I don't. I go ahead and worry about the tax consequences later.

It's bad for an economy when an entrepreneur has to first take into consideration the taxes before engaging in a business enterprise or even consider them. That's just idiotic.

Taxes are a necessity for a society, but when they become a burden and retard entrepreneurial activity, then its tax structure needs to be examined.

Yes, BTW, I think prostitution should be legal.

Damn straight about the Man Pages! Man pages are for reference for experienced users. In other words, for those who are wondering, "What are the parameters again?" Why?

You see, when you read the man pages, parameters have all these "[]" and "-" and other things. I've occasionally come across programs that had "optional" parameters in their man pages that ended being required.

That's what you get for buying a Chrysler product or any Detroit product. Try getting a Honda or Toyota card reader. Or if you're a yuppy, a BMW card reader. Although, no one holds a candle to the Japanese.

Then a mystery writer could patent a method of committing a crime and the method of solving the crime. Royalties from the mafia and from the police! Woohoo!

Your coworker can't type either. Instead of typing News he missed and hit the 'J'. Geeze!

Your punching a Dick in the arm. Are you sure it was Dick? It could have been Sam or John.

I just look at the wire feeds and read what I want - I don't rely on some editor choosing what he thinks I should read.

I'm tired of the BS in ALL of the electronic and print media. The over simplification of issues, the half truths, and in some cases, I've caught downright falsehoods. Some of the local papers and media are becoming more and more opinionated. They're not just stating the facts - they're throwing in opinion. I have my own opinions - thank-you-very-much - and I refuse to spend my time reading some other person's. A person who has to write something, not to show the truth, but to write something that's sensational to get readers or viewers or listeners.

Oh, and let me add something. There is NO SUCH THING AS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA and the rest. They are ALL "mainstream media". Those folks who bitch about the "mainstream media" work for the mainstream media themselves; which makes them bullshitters.

I don't know. It drove me batty! It's Fedora 9 here. Anyway, when I installed it, the machine would get to the loader and lock up. I couldn't get anywhere. After I reinstalled F9 without GRUB, it all worked fine.

I'v tried other options: Fedora 10's install wouldn't even run on my Linux box. Ubuntu doesn't run on that same box. I have only 512MB Ram and the system is so old I refuse to add more memory to get Ubuntu to run on it. The Ubuntu guys said I needed more memory.

Time to ask myself how much do I like my games. And since all my email and everything is already on Thunderbird and I browse with Firefox, I just need to see what's holding me back from just moving to Linux. Ah MS Money. I wonder if I can import years worth of financial data into a F/OSS version.

Even then, it's scary proposition to move everything. I have this nagging feeling that I'm going to miss something very important! Dual boot? I don't know. I have had issues in the past with GRUB locking up machines and no being able to rescue my system. I had to reinstall everything.

I was one of the most successful Presidents EVAR! And I did it by surrounding myself with 'yes' men.

Now stop misunderestimating me!
