I did the same, installed Server 2012 on a new server, said WTF? Tried to run with it, had no luck with Hyper-V on 2012. Reformatted with Server 2008 R2, never looked back.

They have really got to dump that shitty Windows 8 interface on professional hardware. Ain't nobody got time for that...

Now Windows 8.1 on my laptop, it makes sense and I'm happy with it. But on a server? Give me a frikken break...

Usually people who just write MicroSoft instead of Micro$oft (or M$) are just showing their age. For the first few years of the company's existence it was Micro-Soft, and most people dropped the dash for MicroSoft. Everyone-hates-dashes...

It's not CHILDish, it's OLDish.

Save your rage for the "M$" people...

If it was a hit song, then why is there no income in July? And August? Oh wait, there is, he might still be collecting money for work done years for DECADES to come.

Who else gets payed for work they did once? Let him add the total, over his lifetime AND his childrens lifetime, and divide it by the number of hours he spend on it. Wanna bet it comes to far more then minimum wage? And this is ONE source of payment? You ever did work and get payed by multiple people for decades to come? No, me neither.

This artist purposely uses misleading data. That means he is a lying piece of scum.

The summary states how much artists are payed and the claim that the artists think that because the payout is not a billion dollars, they are payed to little and spotify is in the wrong.

I am sure many a person cleaning toilets is ALSO not happy with the payout. But the market value of cleaning toilets is low and so apparently is the market value of music by most artists.

Is spotify paying to little or is "indie" (read non-popular) music simply not a viable product in todays entertainment market.

THINK OF THIS: I see NOTHING in the article that could not lead to the conclusion: For barely any plays at all, unknown artists earn more per month then the majority of Americans. 3300 bucks? Isn't that in fact several times minimum wage in the US?

So what are they bitching about? Can I bitch that I am not payed enough for having sex with women? I only make 3300 dollars a month for shagging 400.000 women and I just don't think that is enough...

How much do these artists they should be payed FOR A SINGLE song that, statistically speaking, nobody wants to hear?

Life is hard, many people have to do back breaking work and still don't earn 3300 a month. And they certainly don't get payed for work they did last month, last year or even a decade ago.

How much do these "artists" expect to be payed anyway for a SINGLE listen to a SINGLE song by a SINGLE person?

You are talking of a single transaction shifting the market 5% and you call that small?

Real economic markets panic of fractions of a percent shift with billions in transactions.

If a real currency could suffer a 5% inflation with the selling of a single million, everyone would conclude that currency is totally non-viable.

Basically you are saying that if you own bitcoins, you could lose 5% anytime someone sells a single million of a currency supposedly worth billions. That is NOT a stable reliable currency.

Some people still life in the free world.

In IT, development, there are often a lot of different ways to achieve a thing. Version control is one of them, for most basic needs most version control systems offer the same features. Subsversion, mercurial and git? I can use any of them and have all common needs met. So why demand specific knowledge of a specific solution?

Because of shit for brains developers. They are ALWAYS on the lookout for the magic tool that means they don't have to do their job anymore and insist solution X is the only solution until a new flavor of the day comes along.

Here is a warning sign, if your a web developer and the job/project uses more then two programming languages, RUN! It means the developers are hammering in their flavors of the day creating a mass of code in different languages, 9 times out of 10 completely depended on a specific config and version that nobody wants to bother with anymore because their experiment failed and now they want to experiment some more.

I recently did an interview where more and more requirements kept cropping up and more and more languages with the backend being written in javascript, php and python. Ooh yes, I would LOVE to become responsible for fixing that mess. NOT!

Interviewing is like dating, its main goal is NOT to find true love but to ditch the crazies before they found out where you life (but I will get you my pretty oh, yes and then we will be happy FOREVER) anyway, if a job seems to suck during the recruitment process consider yourself warned and move on (but I will never let you escape!)

And Bing is better because it is those nice trustworthy people at Microsoft who are watching everything you search for ?!?

Because there is a severe shortage of good developers. I don't get the outright bile and hatred so many idiots here display about women in the workplace. Afraid they will take you jobs? I could double my income by getting people placed, and getting the bounty for finding them, in companies were they are desperate for GOOD developers, not the anti-social misogynists who want to see the world burn lousy coders who react with such angst to the idea a woman might be able to do their job.

But I don't know any good developers who aren't already making top dollars for their field who want to move. I know a shit load of really bad developers. Oh most of them can code, they just can't for the life of them deliver a project per requirements on time and on budget. Then your code quality don't matter, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

We need MORE people in the field because right now projects are on hold because there is nobody to do them. And that sucks! And to anyone who feels threatened by competition from either immigrants or women in this field must be really bad at their job.

I would not ever consider hiring phoenix03, he is clearly poisonous in the work place. Why is he so afraid of women?

Belial6 never visited a museum when attending school and his/her mind has not fully developed as a result.

Basically the study seems to claim that teaching kids makes them smarter. Who knew! Is going to a museum that unusual in the US?

Jefferson is a hypocrite who talked about opposing the slave trade while keeping slaves. Compared to him ANY modern legislator is an icon of virtue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson_and_slavery

He also opposed the practice of slave masters freeing their own slaves as he believed this made slave uprisings more likely.

This is your example of liberty?

Take your dog whistling and get the fuck out of here, loser.

> Wake me when the US is actually irrelevant.

We aren't in any way at this time, but if we don't start caring for our citizens again and start handing out raises, we're fucked.

> Wonder what would happen to the US economy if the "full faith and credit" was questioned?

Apparently nothing... Do you not remember last month?
