Not as useless as bitching about it, kid.

Sounds about right. With all the MS employees looking to jump ship, I can't see why anyone who wants to hire a Windoze developer would spring for a ticket to interview a candidate from a different city.

Technically, it's a barge.

You didn't read the last line of my post, did you?

Of all the things there are to blame Obama for, sending his kids to a private school is not one of them. His kids are not public property, and his duty as a parent is to get them the best education he can afford.

There is no chance that Intel would rent out its best fabs.

What's your next guess?

Apple is a very important customer to Intel.

I will not willingly surrender anything but words to the government.

You shouldn't even do that.

Technically, the current "US dollar" came out of the criminal underbelly of Wall Street.

Maybe they're both less important than not freezing in the dark.

I would think that they can't claim someone else owes them money just by posting something. They would have to sue them and win.

Exactly. They'd never get a court to enforce it, and if they do go as far as trying to put this on the victim's credit report, I would expect any credit bureau to remove it immediately upon a complaint.
