I've seen "enterprise solution" Exchange+Outlook suck mire than Notes. And the fact that Note, now, is an all in one collaboration solution has it's positive effects.
I do use Notes 8 and see very little issues with it.
I sense a major client expectation management problem in your character. Not good...
If you do not know what a client requests upon project start, it's usually a failed project to start. Fire your sales/contract negotiator/project manager.
There are some people that are in IT not for the paycheck. And sometimes sticking to the project till the absolute end is a very good experience.
And a lot of times, the projects fail because of the third parties involvement, or lack of involvement. In those cases nothing a developer can suggest will help the project.
Well I make my career by joining late projects and doing everything to fix them. Whenever I see that the project will fail in any case, I quote the project as a project where I have learned "How NOT to do things".
And I can't complain about my career.
On the positive side, the late projects have actually relaxed their rules to get the project completed. So I get into an environment that needs results fast and I can push through more innovative ideas through. Whereas, on a "on schedule" project, there is little space for innovative solutions.
5 years ago you could be payed for doing nothing. Now the people that are actually valuable get payed well, in spite of the bad economic situation. Value is value, in any economic situation.
If you thought your legal system is bad, incomprehensible and overburdened - just remind yourself that your's is not anything like the UK's legal system!
Unless you live in UK. And I am sorry for you.
That was a long post that all comes down to:
CLR is a general purpose VM (Shocking, since it's name is Common Language Runtime)
JVM is a highly specialized VM
Let me guess, you must be either a consultant or an "architect".
I do believe that was the first time someone slapped Microsoft really hard, for their practices. So it should not be on the list, unless you put the massive fines EU gave them.
There is a reason why they did not choose to do it the standard way - a license. A promise is nothing more than a promise and is broken easily, a license is a legally binding document.
You know, you do not need to be notified if anyone accepts your GPL licensed code do you?
No. Software and process patents are there to prevent progress. Engineering patents have a very nice effect, of other engineers being informed about the technology behind the patent. In software it's the combination of copyright and patents that is the killer of innovation. As a reverse car analogy, it's like you patenting some process but releasing the source code under GPL for the solution.
Well... TopGear did do an episode where they transported a white truffle from Northern Italy to London it was Veyron against a light airplane and a train.
Actually the world is like that. We all have it all or nothing due to a split millisecond, mostly.
It's not about your intelligence, though that will help you "own" that millisecond compared to a person that has less intelligence.
Sportsmen win by being in their best shape at that exact second when it's counted.
So it's pretty usual for that to be as it is.
My post about the actual crash was did not make Slashdot also... So, there is a high chance that no post will make it to slashdot front page...
FYI: The crash was so bad, that even FinancialTimes reported it.
Witness the first MAJOR flop for Blizzard in 11 years.
I mean, comparing SC2 to WoW? WTF? SC2 is a RTS, WoW is MMORPG. Sure WoW basically forces you to be legitimate, but not at a very high price. SC2 is not that interactive and you cannot be "drawn" into it as with WoW.
Sorry people, I give SC2 no thumbs up out of 2.
Slashdot Mirror
My 23 character strong password was invalidated by my bank's eBanking system's idea that it was too long...
And World of Warcraft is becoming one very big IRC chat room, with casual topics.

Microsoft has at most 20 years of experience in that field. Before the 90-ies they were basically a second grade DOS and developer tool vendor.

Apparently you could care less.

Really, what about people with iron commitment, that do anything it takes to fix the project till the end? Are those kind of people bad?

Why did not hey call it a license then?
And we all have learned that misrosoft is soooo trustworthy with their claims on microsoft.com.

Let me guess, you must be either a consultant or an "architect".
A) Not all generics are erased.
B) Power is such a misused word. Cycle for cycle JVM beats CLR without any issues.
The VM implementation version is not the product name. Java 6 is implemented by JavaRuntimeEnvironment(a.k.a VM) 1.6...

Amazon? Really? OMG! You mean that Norton Antivirus and their other products are EXTREMELY popular and GOOD products?!?!?!?!
Not so. Any non mechanical information storage device will weigh very little.

FYI: TopGear reported that they plan to end production when they build 300 of them ;) So there.
Yeah... Last I checked, turboprop airplanes are definitely NOT road legal... Unless you fly very, very low.
