Oh yeah, it is. But I was just taking the title from the original article. They most likely used "mistake" because there have not been any cases filed yet and they don't want to get hit with a suit for libel. Kinda like how most news articles about criminal trials refer to the defendant as allegedly committing a crime up until they are convicted. The news story stinks to high heaven of fraud and negligence but until the story gets told in a courtroom the press kinda has to use neutral terms like mistake and such.

I had that problem too, best thing i've found is to just get a small fan. Loud enough to drown out most background noise like conversations and walking yet not loud enough to keep you awake.

The difference between America and England is, the Americans think 100 years is a long time and the English think 100 miles (160.93 Km) is a long distance.
Not sure who originally said it but it seemed relevent.

And weapons, we in the US loves us some guns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_industry#World.27s_largest_arms_exporters

You heard it here folks, proof positive that the moon causes terrorism. A well respected astronaut comes back from the moon and starts threatening government officials? And who could forget the mooninite terror attacks of 2007? It is obvious to anyone that the moon supports terrorism. I call on the president to destroy the moon, there can be no negotiations. Their invaders openly mock us with a middle finger, and they brain wash our peaceful ambassadors into terrorism like the good Edgar Mitchell mentioned above. I urge my fellow slashdotters to contact their congressmen and urge them to declare war on the moon, it's for our children's sake.

Last.fm for music, Hulu/$Show's Site for Video. I don't think I've turned on the TV for weeks, and that was only for background music while cleaning since the PC was too far away to hear and the Radio stations around tend to only play pop 20's.

Yeah, regulations like sane labor laws and costs such as a livable wage. Source. I'm sorry but if apples vision of a ideal work force is one where they can stack employees 8-10 to a room in on site dormitories, roust 8000 of them in the middle of a night and pay them $1.41 an hour, then they can keep that vision. There may be some areas where US manufacturing can improve, but laws forcing companies to treat their employees as human beings is not one of them.

I like this guys idea: http://www.cracked.com/blog/if-awesome-lunatics-ran-airlines/

We're not small! It's just really cold up here and we just got out of the pool.

I am calling prior art on this one. Microsoft already did it with Windows ME's code base.

Yeah, Gruman writes an article for Infoworld lashing out at IT, then submits it to Slashdot in order to rile up the IT folks who read here. Like some sort of troll, or just hoping to get more page views for his article. I suppose we will be seeing more of these next week with his supposed "insight". Though I hope people don't bother to read the article, it's what he wants and they are probably gonna be disappointed.

A rebuttal to your money can't buy happiness notion. While it is true that other things are important in life, having a baseline amount of money to afford the necessities such as food, rent, and utilities will damn sure make you much more likely to be happy. For a disturbing amount of people in the US (about 46 million), they face a choice between paying the rent or paying the utilities.

So go on and tell them money doesn't buy happiness when they are being evicted, or sitting in the dark because the power was shut off for non-payment. I am sure they may have a few choice words of wisdom to reply back.
