"Define "average person" for me."
If you need that defined for you, you're far too ignorant to participate in the topic.

Sa-WEEEET, FINALLY!!! See, I'm from Alabama, and I've been taking shots all my life for it, "Oh are you and your sister still married?". But here we are now, knowing that the average person in Alabama is exactly the same as the average person in California. And the average African...? EXACTLY the same as the average American. When it comes to average, they're all the same, that's why they're average. Right, guys? ....guys?

Nah, it's not like that. The men and boys are the ones answering the help line. So the women and girls (can't we just say "females"?) can call up the men and boys and tell the men and boys what needs to be done to make the women and girls feel better, and THEN the women and girls can bitch and complain about how the men and boys didn't do it | right | fast enough | with a smile | etc.... then they can sit back with other women and girls and the echo-chamber gets louder and prouder.

The problem with Office isn't even the first launch. It's that EVERY application launch is slow and stupid.

I can't begin to figure out how an application can load "stupid", but you're never really able to drive a sentence anyway, due to your poor upbringing, so there's no surprise there.

At any rate, what would you rather M$ do to help the software load faster? I'd LOVE to hear your suggestion. I'll bet it involves some really cool and cutting-edge technological facts that are all backed up by examples. So do spill the beans, kind ma'am.

When we're not at your mom's, we're checking on you here. We know that when you stop posting here, you must be playing outside, or napping. When you're not there, you know what we do with her. We're all still betting on which one of us is your daddy. There're just too many guys that we cannot get in contact with to actually find out.

No, of course no one would do that. But if you look at how things are, you'll see that America is run in a way that allows the rich to enjoy socialism, while the poor deal with capitalism. There isn't anything written in black and white, yet there is very much a class system in America.

Comment Re:Remote work (Score 1) 58

I'm with you. I worked from home for 4 years, ordering, configuring, stocking, shipping, supporting all equipment for a huge nation-wide company with thousands of people. I was able to do all of my home activities and work activities within an 8 hour period, freeing up the evenings for whatever I wanted.

Unfortunately that company is being run into the ground, and I was laid off. Now I'm working for a startup that when I was first hired, told me that I'd be working from home mostly, once I got accustomed to how things were in the office. However that's since dried up and the best I can hope for now is not getting yelled at for not being here right at 8am, or staying until right at 5pm. I'm looking for another job, and considering starting my own company. The office environment today is filled with these people that are under 40, and who all have the new flashy way to wave around until it fails.
