Lets not forget that one of the major rules of business--and investing for that matter--is to diversify. Suppose I own a hardware company that makes disc drives, and our entire line is built around 5.25 inch drives, that would be stupid. In that case we need to go into other aspects of hardware, 3.5 inch drives or thumb drives, etc. Microsoft is a software company, and search engines are software.
Good lord, this article pushes the fact that Macs are for creative people over and over and then the next section includes "Or How I..." Give me a break here, come up with something new and stop using Kubrick as your inspiration.
You're not a historian either. Electric transformers were invented by Michael Faraday, of course it took Westinghouse's company to get a decent working version for AC.
While Thunderbird may be more feature laden and easier to modify than Outlook. There's only one problem, Exchange Servers. Unless your friendly Exchange admin has enabled POP or IMAP forget about getting your email on these programs without Outlook. Until MS opens up on their MAPI protocol it will be nearly impossible to connect with these clients. As we all know, enterprise adoption is the key to success.
The best part of this is "her old laptop lacked the memory and power to run Ubuntu Edgy." What kind of old laptop was she running that she couldn't install and run Linux?
I have to say I'm ashamed to be from and live in the state of Maryland. I would have loved to see this bill pass, where I am (MD/DE line) I am lucky to have cable. Unfortunately it's only been around for 2 - 2.5 years, what sucks is just over the state line in Delaware, Verizon is rolling out FIOS.
Speaking of which, one of the main web applications I work on, for the US Gov't might I add, is still using Coldfusion 5. Talk about behind the times. We are only now upgrading to MX7.
The original poster is talking about the mirror(glass) itself, not the housing. Curved glass and mirrors change the shapes and point of view of objects when they reflect. So, things may look out of place when looking into the mirror.
"Camping on the Moon Will Be One Far Out Experience" The phrasing of this title is reminiscent of the era of the first moon landings. Not that I'd know, considering I was born 1 day shy of the 14 year anniversary, groovy.
NASA is dumb if they think so. If this is the case, say I jump from the Golden Gate bridge, the water will be nice and soft when I get down there right? Wrong. When you approach terminal velocity and make contact with water, it doesn't have time to "move" out of the way. In essence, you are hitting concrete.
"If you do not to activate Windows Vista within the 30-day grace period, your system will switch to a reduced functionality mode. In this mode, only the default Internet browser will be available to use and you will automatically be logged-out every hour. While operating in a reduced functionality mode, you will be able to access personal files, but many functions will be restricted." Holy crap Batman. Exactly why XP will live on forever, at least you can still use an unactivated version.
I kept getting a critical error that the "Optical Drive" selection was not Vista compatible. Microsoft has some huge problems if Vista can't support a plain Jane DVD/CD-RW drive.
Agreed, one of the first things I did after my first few paychecks at a real job was to get a "real" copy of XP (since I couldn't use updates anymore). Granted I bought an OEM edition and did a complete reinstall so I knew I didn't have any junk from my school's network left on there, but all the same.
My little college of 6,000 students had an entire/16 which meant student computers had a "public" IP. However, they were all routed through firewalls and packet shapers. I knew this long before my internship because I could never access my machine by using its IP address, damn security. Also, student machines were on a separate VLAN so when someone brought there computer from home that just so happened to have zotob or melissa on it, it couldn't infect all school owned systems. On a side note, when I interned for computer services there the head network guy mentioned that no P2P is blocked, only throttled so it can't kill the bandwidth.
Exactly why Microsoft released a patch that will prevent Windows Update from installing IE7 for corporate users or home users like myself that don't want it just yet. The company I work for has boat loads of in-house intranet applications that all need tested on IE7. Not to mention our customers calling because their application doesn't work when we specifically told them NOT to upgrade due to compatibility concerns.
Necessity being the mother of all invention, I predict any attempt to censor the Internet will fail. Case-in-point DRM'd HD-DVD as pointed out in another front page story today.
Too bad this won't do a thing for cable news networks and documentary channels. Remember "broadcast" means free over the air, as in antenna; not cable coming into your house.
Now, granted, the Democrats could likely change the wording this time around to include everything and most likely will. Oh well, just another kick in the nuts for free thinking society.

Perhaps a it's time for the SPAMish Inquisition.
Since when do we get printer friendly article links in the summary. I was expecting to click through half a dozen pages. Kudos.

Six comments and the site is already suffering the "effect."
Of course, just don't hook it up to any tubes.
The first rule of National Security Letters is you will not talk about...ah you get the point.

You are assuming a great deal that freshman CS students could write a linked list implementation.
Why do all of these "inside the data center of ..." never have pictures? Everyone knows geeks needs something to drool over and fantasize with.
That wouldn't happen to be the same Bob from those Enzyte commercials would it?
