How much do you suppose it costs firms that have completely unmotivated employees? Believe it or not humans are not machines, you can't just turn them on for 8-9 hours straight and expect them to work full speed.

That does suck quite a bit, guess Australians will have to set up a server in the US for their complaining :)

Wow, really pathetic.. I have a question though, is there something similar to the US's free speech anywhere else in the world? (Forgive me I went to a public school in the US, I'm suprised I'm aware of rights in my own country) This seems like this would fly in the face of anything like that.

who has a Zune.

I do and my wife does, neither of us would touch an iPod. Even little Luke likes running around pretending it's he's listening to music. And for the last time it's now brown, everytime I mention I have a BLACK Zune everybody asks me why I could buy a brown turd like that.

This is a Christian school, ( but non-denominational ), they have a little church service every morning. They have 52 students in the whole school, and the fees are $200 a year. I'm having a hard time coming to terms with this, I mean, how can you run a school on $10,000 a year ? As far as I can see, they must either be running a cult, or they have a high focus on 'work training', which involves the kids sewing clothes in a sweatshop or something.

Generally with Christian schools the majority of the funding comes from the church via donations etc. While they may only be recieving $10,000 in tuition from students, they very well might be recieving significantly more from the church. Also when you don't have heavy involvement from government agencies you can run things alot more efficiently!

Holding up a brown turd to your ear is just not cool, Matt. Almost as bad as that ngage lark.

I'd agree, but I its not brown (black)

I hope Microsoft respond but they don't seem as focused as Apple at the moment. MTV pulled out of that music store thing, Play For Sure doesn't play for sure and like it or not style is important and the Zune needs to improve on that.

Honestly this stuff doesn't bother me, all I ever listen to is music I already owned or podcasts. And I really don't mind the look of the Zune.

Its not brown....

What do you use your Zune for then?

Cell phone :P

Anyone got a Zune they want to drown?

I would never trade my Zune for one of those, then again I don't use my mp3 player as a fashion statement.

If I had a billion dollars I could buy a couple high-end Windows Servers, Exchange, Sql Server, etc for my needs, then invest the rest and retire early.

Do what with XP? 2003 server is still on MSDN, if you are going to bash Microsoft maybe you should make sure your argument checks out before you look like a fool.

Personally I type in codeproject.com/lounge.asp and never see the front page anyway.

I'm not going to rehash anything anyone else has said, but I had to move my School laptop back to XP because of some terrible drivers (its at least 3 years old) and I can't stand XP. I like the locked down nature of Vista on campus because... well I don't trust 99% of the other people (or the malware nestled on their machines) on campus. And its nice not having to configure for security. I'd rather open holes as needed than close them. I miss alot of the new features!
