Option 1:
Bing users are more susceptible to advertising and Microsoft gets 55% more click throughs than Google with 1/13th as many impressions (from the article)
Option 2:
Click fraud on Bing is very high compared to Google.
The alternative is that capitalism works, but can take some time.
Microsoft has a lot of cash which is why it is still so strong. It's current products are coming under increasing pressure from open source, the web etc. So this may not last forever - unless of course they get a bailout.
And, uh, I have the pleasure of working now with a huge data warehouse that hasn't normalized status codes, so instead of quickly searching for an integer, the queries run slow as hell scanning char fields. It's not good.
That's a problem that can easily be fixed. Replace the char fields with the int's you so crave, maybe adding any missing indexes (indices?)
Do it once and enjoy the results (and speed) forever.

I use an ipod for one reason - its usability. It is the easiest mp3 player I have found to use and control. The scroll wheel is excellent for navigation, it is nice and slim and even connects nicely to my other AV devices.
They ship with poor quality ear phones that are definitely causing hearing damage
Just because something ships with poor headphones, doesn't mean you have to use them. Yes, they use a standard headphone jack, so you have flexibility with which headphones you use. I personally use a nice pair of Sony headphones that work well while jogging or traversing public transport.
And the typical iPod user just does not care about anything other than being cool.
Just because idiots use something, doesn't mean it's crap - or that all users of the same devices are idiots.
The fact of the matter is that the sooner iPods die a horrible death the sooner we have a chance at decent mainstream music
I'm not sure there's any correlation between the types of music players on the market and the music generated by artists. However, feel free to prove me wrong.
and just about everything except (and maybe not except) philosophy.
I believe philosophers came up with a lot of the early logic work, which is very mathematical based. Without the work philosophers did on logic we wouldn't have been able to build computers.

Old programmers never die, they just become managers.
