I think the "point" of OSHA is to protect the "worker" from the malicious business owner; Not to stifle innovation. If your definition of innovation is to buy "cheap" chairs & desks and to save a few bucks over your competitors overhead, at the expense of your employees, then that is where OSHA steps in. Read OSHA's mission statement www.osha.gov/oshinfo/mission.html. They are not out to stifle business, but to make sure you don't innovate with your employees well-being..
Go after Welfare, Standardized insurance, etc, etc, but give it break at some point. Yea, yea, Goverment is evil, and the World is coming to and end... yada, yada, yada.... OSHA ain't the enemy you thought it was. It's your friend, workerboy. Keep typing. You'll need a friend soon.
So who are the foot soldiers in this War for the Web? I offer the point of view that a typical/.er isn't. It would more correctly be all of the "lusers" that bug sysadmin's with requests to add some more desktop themes to their workstation; Folks who play Slingo and Solitare with regularity; folks who think AOL "is" the web.
While you may have an intimate knowledge of man grep, the foot soldier in this war won't ever use such a weapon. It's all in the numbers. the team with the most players win - hands down. Microsoft has been actively training it's Army for over 15yrs. Top to bottom, there are more Foot Soldiers in the M$ camp, then all of the rest of the Amry's combined.
In the Article, Tim says,
"the most interesting new applications of the past few years don't reside on the PC at all, but on remote Web servers. I'm talking about Amazon.com, eBay, E-Trade, Yahoo Maps and so on"
99% of these new applications are for the "average" user. Hopefully, there will be an increasing effort towards "bridging" the gap between the/.-type folks (running the worlds hardware) and the users at the client-end. Otherwise, we can all kiss your bash goodbye.
I'm most positive that bandwidth will not be a "buzzword" for future generations. I remember living in a house (as a child) with a T.V. antenna on it. Every neighbor had one too. We got Maybe 4 channels on a good day. We had a clicker on the table that actually went ~click~. Now, I have cable TV. There are over 200 channels, and everyone I know has this or a sattelite. The only place I've seen rooftop antenna's this year, is a trailer park. There's gonna be a day, in the not-to-distant future where bandwidth will be endless (in comparison to now). The Bandwidth Blues will be just another Golden Oldie.
In light of the recent DOJ's FoF, what would you advise someone to do if they had invested monies in Microsoft Stock? It sounds like a split would help Bill but what about the rest of the stock holders in general?

Where did this saying "ever" come from. I first heard it in the movie "Stand By Me" , and now here it is again. Was this ever a Real saying?
