...between the value of this organization and the amount that people are paid to work with eh-eye. Another slashdot article tells me they're getting $15/hour which is not bad as the one person quoted said he used to make sandwiches at Jimmy John's and was homeless. Now he's got a full-time gig, probably couch-surfing, but at least with a roof over his head. But really - you're telling me it's those sorts of people who are propping up this multi-billion dollar company?

Even this article is a duplicate

The greater fool theory will now become more visible as most of them will end up much poorer than before. And some will end up on TV, crying about how much "money" they lost. Haha

How do you give out your email address? For example, if you were to give it to me, over a landline phone (OK, this is really retro, eh?), would you tell me it's, for example, "bigboss@beer-emoji.fm"? Will any beer emoji work, for example if I'm using an android or iphone? I'm curious, because I'm attracted to goofy things like this (sorry, it's goofy to me, because I haven't completely processed it yet). Thanks

I don't know where you live, but the poorer people most assuredly do not live near the beach. If anything, the poorer people live very far from the beach, in areas which are prone to flooding or slides. The rich folk are the ones with second homes on the beach, or something resembling a mansion and surrounded by hectares of land if it's their primary home (uber rich, you're not part of this conversation...).

I wish I could give your post the gold it deserves!

I'm still waiting for an update for my version of Yggdrasil Linux. It's been rock solid since 1992, so I've been hesitant to do any kernel updates, but this might be the one I finally pull the trigger for.

Hey, easy on the criticism - I'm an elephant, and I never forget. Now let me at those plants that I eat exclusively.

Since when does slashdot.org become another pump and dump scheme?

I bought a seriously good PC from Dell, about 5 years ago, for my wife's bookkeeping business. Also got one of their 27" widescreen monitors at the same time, so put a reasonable graphics card in the PC, and increased the RAM to the max at the time (24GB). Hard drives are standard spinning drives, but really large, and with some redundancy factor as it also contains a RAID card and an extra drive for backup.

She's still happier than hell with it. Lots of serious horsepower (accounting programs and large spreadsheets is what she works with) to handle anything. Fantastic "no tired eyes" screen resolution back then, and still a good performer now.

What is a newer computer going to give us that we don't have now?

"sovern" - I don't know about the education level of slashdot readers anymore - they vote this post as "informative" when this idiot doesn't even know how to spell, or use a spell-checker? Although in their defense, they did only scored it a "2"

No problem - it'll just jump up them - 4 feet at a time.

I've got W7 Ultimate - MSE has worked for me since I installed it. And the upgrade also works, never any nags about some issue or other. You might have something else that's stopping the trouble-free installation of this update.
