That only works in the small scale. AFAIK the only places it's been successful in all of history are religious communes. It's ironic that the only place communism works is in religious communities.
There are still people crowing about how Amiga is poised for a comeback. Everyone's going to realize how wrong they were for abandoning the platform. We'll all repent and be saved by the second coming of Amiga. They still go on and on about REXX and Video Toaster, as if those are relevant technologies.
I for one am actively working to prevent this disaster by promoting... Atari TOS! TOS can save us all! Don't listen to the Amiga infidels! You only need 512 colors! MIDI, MIDI, MIDI! Those Amiga Cultists are all nutters! 16/32-bit Atari is the true path!
It's pretty clear as evidenced by Twitter, and some other major RoR disasters, that RoR is currently incapable of scaling to ginormous proportions. Your better off using Stackless Python, Java, or even plain old Perl for enterprise apps.
Apple was hands down the king from 1984 until Windows 95 came out. Like it or not, that changed everything. The OSes have been running neck and neck ever since.
Also, like a Volkswagon, I can fix a failing Commodore 64 with my own tools. Unlike modern machines that are replaced when they fail, the Commie, and other 8-bit machines, have a simple architecture, and parts that are easly repaired/replaced.
If cables were cars, you would be wise to check the RJ-45 and wall connectors before replacing the cables. Chances are, if the cars (cables) were not moved, then there probably isn't much of a problem with them. A car (cable) tester would be a wise investment. Most of the issues I've had with old cars (cables) had to do with the connectors on the end points wearing out, and not the cars (cables) themselves wearing out. These are not high voltage cars (cables) like the ignition wires on your car (actually a car this time), so their performance degredation is probably minimal. These low voltage cars (cables) are pretty much a radiation path rather than a power transmission path.
I have some high power ones (replacements for 75W incandescents) that turn on instantly, but they do get brighter after they've been on for a few minutes. They don't turn on to maximum brightness. It's not annoying or anything, just something I noticed. I use them in a torchier in the living room.
So ask yourself, is Apple just too stupid to please an arrogant but anonymous coward, or are you perhaps uninformed on what might be involved in developing secure copy and paste on a new platform with a unique security model?/quote
Wow. So Apple uses unsecure cut, copy and paste on OS X? It is the same operating system, no? No. Methinks AC is correct, and this is simpler arrogance, not unlike the "no keyboard shortcuts" edict and the "one mouse button" edict. Jobs wanted the world to bow to the iPhone's way of doing things and the world said, "Ttthhhhppt!".
Actually, we have no idea how fair or to what confidence level American Idol singers are voted on. We have nothing except what we're told by the producers.
Wow, is Slashdot making a news article out of every morons malware induced performance issues? I watch Netflix Instant View DAILY (love the Kojak, baby) and have NEVER had issues with bandwidth limiting in the last few weeks or ever for that matter. After I read the headline, I fired up Stargate Continuum on my PC (highest quality stream, according to the service menu) and my Xbox 360 (IN HD NO LESS) and it popped up instantly with no quality issues and no delay. Next time, try contacting your crappy ISP before you waste our time with your sky-is-falling BS.
Great, now we'll be hearing from all the Mac-fanboys how much more cost-effective Macs are because they've got lower TCO than this $16K monstrosity. From previous experience, we'll be hearing about this for the next 10-15 years.
Yeah, cause Vista takes so long to reboot. It takes hours and hours and hours. That's so funny, because it's true. It really does take hours and hours and hours to reboot. Yeah, that's funny.
Does Starbucks franchise? Starbucks does not franchise operations and has no plans to franchise in the foreseeable future.
In North America, the majority of our stores are Company-operated. As an exception, Starbucks may enter into licensing arrangements with companies who provide access to real estate which would otherwise be unavailable such as airport locations, national grocery chains, major food services corporations, college and university campuses and hospitals.

Yeah the illegallity of sharing movies is a gros affront to human dignity. Downloading free movies is exactly like what Rosa Parks did. Shithead.

Denmark has a great way of doing things. Let's see if it scales. Doh.

No, no, no. If you didn't have a beige box, you're a poser.

The really odd part is trying to imagine Scala as a reasonable replacement for Ruby or any other higher level language.
Particularly with options like Stackless Python available. Python is well supported. Why throw out the baby with the bathwater?
Or you could turn the $400 laptop into a hackintosh... there, you have your $400 Macbook.
So the only way to get a reasonably priced Mac is to steal OSX? Great.

it's Apple doing it! It MUST be innovative!
I can't wait til they invent copy & paste for a cell phone! That'll be really innovative. And, get this: MMS! That's innovations!

Actually, this guy isn't a religious zealot. He's an obvious troll, and you just fed him, Brainiac. Good going. How stupid are you?
There's going to be a thousand years in the next century, duh.
Maybe, or they could have skyrocketed to unknown heights, ala Microsoft. This is all empty speculation.
Wrong. Gold makes it sound better.
Yeah, Lee had had a buggy UI, and teh suck graphics.
Yeah, because a free country means no personal responsibility.
FYI, from Starbucks site:
