Captialism works because it rewards people for their efforts and creativity, not because of their NEED. Some will make more than others -- not all men are created equal. But greed? No.
Now the internet operators will have to make everyone pay more for high speed internet access because they're forced by the rule of guns and "laws" to provide access to those who can't afford it but need it.

Has the Glory Gone Out of Working In IT? 623
An anonymous reader writes to wonder if the glory has gone out of IT. One blogger remembered his first impression upon entering a profession in IT that made it seem like the place to be, with a new shiny around every corner. What experiences have others had? Has a more pervasive technical culture forced our IT gurus into obsolescence?

Comment Miami Trailer (Score 1) 1127
How about sitting in a temporary trailer, in a parking lot, in Miami, in the summer, right in front of the door that had a spring not an automatic closer so the damn thing would bang everytime it closed, with people coming in and out constantly just because they liked our printer.
The only consolation was the Cuban coffee shop next door. Now THAT I miss!

1) Sorry, but programmers ARE developers. Graphic artists and architects are users. To say otherwise is a slap in the face of developers, including me.
2) Programmers...er...developers don't pick a development platform simply because it's new. That's a user-thing. If fact, we don't pick a OS...our employer does. And guess what they're probably using?
3) Mac marketing as been brilliant but that's not a reason to buy a computer. In fact, one could say that the Mac could have been the "cow that got killed" if it hadn't been for the i*.
4) Vista ain't bad as long as you have the right hardware. I know...I've been developing on it for over a year.
5) Apple's market share for web and graphics designers is not based on the OS simplicity but on history -- they were the first ones to market with hardware and software that seemed made for publishing and image processing.

New Star Trek Trailer 591
roelbj writes "The full trailer to the next Star Trek movie is now available at the movie's official web site. The upcoming J.J. Abrams-helmed installment represents a changing of the guard, a reboot of the franchise, and a return to the original-series crew. It should prove interesting to see how Abrams' writing staff (Cloverfield, Lost, Alias) tackles the Star Trek universe and all the continuity and baggage that comes with it."

If asked (or arm-twisted), which AV vendor would you recommend?
At some point in time, each seems to move to the "front of the line" in terms of quality and performance...then some update comes along and...boom...either or both go into the crapper.
Suggestions?
