actually if sprint and t-mobile combine their networks they might be able to compete with verizon, which is a good thing for everybody. right now each company only competes in certain markets.

you realize that these links don't actually disprove the op's anecdote, right? The jd power link says that verizon has the best network reliability and neither company is mentioned as having good or bad wireless customer satisfaction.

Am I the only one who was shocked that a major firm had only 440 openings across the country?

I was confused. I don't ever remember reading about there being LESS ice in antarctica, Parent explained it for me. Thank you.

somebody mod parent to +10

come on... it's not like the series didn't have any redeeming qualities at all... is it?

Is it just me or is it ironic that this article directly follows another article titled "Studies show people are biased against creative thinking"?

The parent's score of 5 is well-deserved... but it is not at all funny. What slashdot needs is a "+1 Disturbing" or better yet "+1 Tragic" mod for comments like this one.

The point of this is to turn programmers into even more of a commodity. The idea isn't to produce labor, the idea is to produce cheap domestic labor.

They also used rebates to make their products seem $20 less expensive. There's a new rebate every week, and the rebate expires after a week.
