@FTL I'm not saying the interfaces are the same, they're two different operating systems, I'm saying that the representation (icons) of the programs are the same, as is the method of getting those programs to run (click/press a to run).
@FTL The icons are similar to what PCs have had for decades now, and if people want to judge a book by it's cover, fine, but it's still a stupid decision to make. If their friend is saying "hey check this out," then it is obviously worth paying attention because it's obviously something their friend thinks they would enjoy.
@FTL Actually it's stupider than many other things. It's also sad if people want their friends to sit there and admire their "showcase" home screen rather than play some games with them.
@AlohaPizzaJack You didn't have to fight tooth and nail to get something functional for your workplace? What's that like?
@Krisi It's not just chairs that people waste money on, companies renovate entire floors and have all the old (but still perfectly usable) furniture sent to the tip. I scored some nice racking, lights and carpet tiles because I had a boss that knew a guy who was doing the removal and renovation for an insurance company.

"It screams in pain as it grasps its last breath."
So many things wrong with that sentence:
1. It's gasp, not grasp.
3. Screaming is an exhale action, gasping is an inhale action. While circular breathing is possible, both these actions are performed through the mouth and are therefore unable to be performed at the same time. As a side note, Goombas appear to have no nose and so couldn't perform circular breathing even if they wanted to.
3. Goombas don't scream when stepped on, they go "Boop."
4. Grabbing the air, let alone the specific breath you've exhaled is nigh impossible without specialised equipment.
5. Goombas have no arms, and so couldn't grab anything even if they wanted to.
Whilst you understand the practical application of plumber boots to a Goombas skull, your knowledge of Goomba physiology is sorely lacking. 4 out of 10, see me.
If it's yes or no then I pick no. They add nothing of value. If I want to start the software 10 000 time (that is a real achievement) then I will do it, not because the software thinks I need to do it to consider the game complete.
@Banemus
You really don't have a clue do you?
"That is a nice excuse, ow wait then why does my town have like 50 different electricians i can contact ... hmmm or plumbers ?"
Tell you what, I'll come wire up your place, just don't blame me if it burns down. Those careers require at least a four year apprenticeship. It also requires you get the job over every other applicant. The companies still have to pay them like any other employee, they're not going to put someone on just because they want to be a plumber or electrician. It's a job that requires an opening just like any other.
"hmmm interesting, lot of niches going around apparently! "
Might want to look at the definition of niche. Plumbing and electricity are hardly niche services.
"hmmm why are there so many game companies in the world? hmmm interesting, lot of niches going around apparently!
Requires me to spend time learning code (I do have some small amount of knowledge in Java) as well as graphic design, animation, music and sound design.
"Every idea, that you ever had, someone already had it."
Learn to comprehend. I didn't say I needed a new idea, I just said that I needed to be able to provide a service that was lacking in the community.
"YES, waw, you need a MILLION dollars to work from all of that! What a marvelous argument!"
Such a drama queen, I said he needed money to get off the ground, I didn't say he needed a million dollars, only you are saying that. The fact that Bill Gates was playing poker to fund
"You can go to a client, tell him: "I need some cash up front because I need to buy a computer, rent a garage and pay for electricity." BOOM! 0 money required!"
Might want to reread that and realise how stupid it sounds. By your logic, you don't need to have money to get your business going, just ask the client to set up your business for you. Nobody is going to contract a person to do a job when they don't have the equipment to be able to do the job.
"Clients pay you upfront to make a product. How else do you think studios pay their workers?????"
The flaw with this gem is that not all software studios do contract work, a reasonable amount of them work on their own products. Now I don't know about you but I don't pay for everything in advance, there are these things called "services" which you pay for after the agreed upon work has been completed. Things like car repair, utilities, fuel, these are all examples of services.
"Why is everyone so empathetic to employees?"
Spoken like someone who has never worked a day in his life.
"They can ALWAYS LEAVE. No one is forcing them to stay! Stop making excuses for them. It's the excusive behavior that is bothering me! If they are stuck there, it is their OWN fault!"
Been over this, and you've yet to provide any argument against the points raised. Plenty of ranting and raving yes, but no arguments.
"If it was SSOOOOO bad, then why is the company still afloat? "
Profitability has nothing to do with this. You'd know that if you knew anything about running a business. Why do sweatshops work, the treatment of employees is abysmal in those.
"Why isn't 99% of the employees complaining about it?
Fear of reprisals.

@Banemus
"You all realize that you can FIND a job while doing another job, right? It ain't hard, open your browser and google for a different job. So when you found a different job, you can leave the previous job."
Yeah and until you find a different job you're stuck there (which I've already said BTW). You also have to find time to go to interviews, which isn't easy considering the time demands these companies are putting on their workers. If these people get laid off, they could be out of work for years.
"Not being able to put food on the table is a lazy BS excuse."
Financial security is never a BS excuse.
"Stop with the excuses!"
Oh yes, these people are masochists. They want to deal with ridiculous work hours to deal with excessive work loads because that's how they get their jollies.
"Why should the company change for the workers?"
For their health and safety obviously.
"Stop making excuses."
Hypocrite, making excuses for companies using bad business practices.
"And if you all know it soooooo well on how to do it... make your own company and proof it!"
1. Prove
2. Not owning our own business (though I only speak for myself, I can't speak for the other three, they may have their own business) doesn't prevent a person from understanding how to run a business.
@Banemus Spoken like someone who has no responsibilities. A lot of people can't just leave their job, bills need paying, food needs to be put on the table, for us, in order to leave our job we have to have another job to go to.
Raking in the dough while maintaining a heavier workload than the staff can cope with, typical business practice. Spend some of that money and employ more people you greedy twits.
@Joeynator3000 I'd recommend DC Supervillains as one of the best ones out there. There is actual purpose behind the custom character, and the story is great.
