That'll mean all those businesses who try to hang on will be forced to seek another option then,
Yes. But there are considerable other options. Businesses can, for instance, harden the infrastructure around their XP workstations without upgrading them further. My stapler hasn't required an 'upgrade' in over 12 years (since the mandatory red-color upgrade.) The notion that any significant amount of security resides in the desktop PC is ridiculous and so easily proven to be a joke (as Microsoft provides it) that it's time for corporate IT to step past that myth. The boundary for security is outside the PC in the network surrounding it.
Microsoft is fairly good at providing a soft and cushy 'client' level environment. The key to increased security in a corporate environment is to firewall Microsoft in. Firewalls that block Windows desktops in from both sides. Don't allow their badly designed kludgeware anywhere BUT on the desktop and things can be well managed and secure.
You're right. Engineers can't go into the print room and pull prints out of the lateral files and look at them. It's impossible to do anything at all with them until it is all merged into whatever is the latest CAD system.
Please note that I am intending sarcasm. I, too, work in a place where there are a lot of 'engineers' who couldn't design their way out of a room with the door masking-taped shut without a computer to 3-D model the steps involved in peeling off the masking tape. But there are plenty of people out there still who remember that real design happens in the head (it's then translated to a dinner napkin, the napkin is given to a draftsman to clean up, etc.)
It's really sad these days how 'engineering' has been mushed into the rote chore of being a CAD operator.
Real military REFORM involves sorting the "pork from the chaff"
That has to be one of the more ludicrous statements that is present in this discussion.
The 'pork' and the 'chaff' are both waste products to be discarded. They're from separate metaphors that you've globbed together.
The saying goes 'sort the wheat from the chaff' although you probably don't understand it.
Both the pork, and the chaff, need to be sorted out and discarded.
And one would find, by digging deeper, that it is a bipartisan effort of politicians on both 'sides' of the aisle, that engage in the out-of-control military pork spending activites. Really what we need to do is cut all politicians down a few notches. McCain kept trying to bring up 'earmarks' in the presidential debates a few months ago. It sounded weird and quaint to everbody. It shouldn't have.
I think you've managed (at least in your own mind) to change his argument from Afghanistan/Pakistan to Iraq.
It is not necessary to 'level' Iraq.
Now, flooding all the caves in a whole area of Afghanistan and Pakistan with poison gas... that might be a viable option. (with plenty of warning ahead of time)
That's a Windows NT feature. Windows 95 never included the 'real' BSOD. Sure, there were fatal errors that Windows 95 could report and it was done on a blue-background text screen. However, the real BSOD was a binary dump with status information, and an inherent part of Windows NT --> Windows 2000 --> Windows XP. It had nothing to do with the DOS-based versions of Windows.
To be fair, my first PC didn't have a hard drive. But my first hard drive was 5mb Shugart.
It wasn't a Packard Bell. It was a Taiwanese clone 8088 motherboard in a used 'Leading Edge Model-D' case with an original IBM-PC 63.5 watt power supply (removed from it's case and just the bare power supply board anchored into the Leading Edge case. And an IBM MDA display card, too.
Are mammoths vegetarian? Is there any way that 'raging eco-warrior' can be rendered to be palatable for a herbivore? Or will a sideline project of the Tasmanian Tigers be needed just for waste disposal?
Our vet only charges $25 to neuter a small kitten, and that is the price for everything, including an overnight stay. So I suspect he'd only charge $140 for a woolly mammoth. Although I may be wrong, because he 'subsidizes' his small animal practice with ag-animal visits.
Yes, but this sounds more like a 'portrait' shot than one intended to carry journalistic content.
Couldn't we focus more on some of the outright fraud shots of the last several years carried by media operators trying to make the soldiers in Iraq look bad?
If you're going to emulate it in programmable logic, why not just emulate it in software? If you're just going to emulate it in software.... well, you know what I mean. Use a modern HDL to do modern stuff. Unless you've got legacy code you want to run in it's original form. This guy is running the legacy code. On legacy hardware, even.

That depends on whether the Soma desktop 'theme' is doing it's work properly or not.
(it's very been very thoroughly tested on the Microsoft campus)

Why mess around? If we're going to toss around empty terminology: "teleporter beam"
Wheee!!

And promoting the general welfare... well welfare does just that.
Actually, nobody with any understanding of the present state of affairs is going to concede that point to you.
Nice try, though.
His English just wasn't very good. He meant "the rest of the world is draining down past you."

Yes. Like Health Care.
I am hoping you didn't post your comment to posit the notion that government should have any major role in Health Care.
Big lies are not going to be allowed to continue.
Obviously you hadn't realized that the money is printed by the government.
(I agree, however, that the wealth the money represents comes from the people.)
We haven't had a currency with Intrinsic value since good old FDR took us off the Gold Standard.
steamclient_linux.so is probably a gzipped jpeg of Bill Gates with a few bits of header pasted on to make it look exciting for the Linux folks.

Oh come, now.
It's been widely said, even if Obama refuses to produce proof of birth in Hawaii, that we can believe he is a Natural Born American.

Yep. Apple is no better than Microsoft.
We've known that for ages.
The really rich thing is that people are defending Apple's advertising by comparing it to ads from a Hamburger Stand.
But anyways, Steve Jobs has been 'selling sugared water' (iTunes) for about a decade now....
it seems a bit laughable to make such a big deal out of Apple.
I've been saying that for decades now. Since even before 1984 and the wonderful Macintosh.
All research, everywhere, is weapons research. Because we are a toolmaking species.
Are mammoths vegetarian? Is there any way that 'raging eco-warrior' can be rendered to be palatable for a herbivore? Or will a sideline project of the Tasmanian Tigers be needed just for waste disposal?
They can just pay dude in Korea to clone more.
They can call the baby 'Snuppmoth.'

Is a woolly mammoth classified as a farm animal??
Yes, but this sounds more like a 'portrait' shot than one intended to carry journalistic content.
Couldn't we focus more on some of the outright fraud shots of the last several years carried by media operators trying to make the soldiers in Iraq look bad?
No? Okay. I thought I would just ask.
'wait' is not a BASIC keyword. The usage of 'for' is illegal.
I've never understood the proclivity of people to not even code BASIC properly. Let alone people who correct said people improperly.
You need:
10 $newarticle = $inkey
20 if $newarticle = "y" then 40
30 goto 10
40 print "but does it run ASM80 on Isis?"
50 goto 10
and so on.

Well, it's more a replica of the Engineering Prototype than the finished product.
Engineering prototypes rule.
