    Here, we go... Apple mindset once again. Asus has more EeePC models than Apple has portable computer models. And they are very much different. Geared to different markets and are shipped to different geographies.

  4. Re:Why can't Apple buy them instead??? on What an IBM-Sun Merger Might Mean For Java, MySQL, Developers · · Score: 1

    Do you know why Apple is horrible in the enterprise? Because of all of their secrecy. I mean, most of the times noone knows what they are working on. That does not fly with the corporate execs. Even Microsoft, when fails to deliver, we all know what we are going to get in the next release(exception Vista). With Apple, noone would know when the next Java version would come out and what number will it be? And how would Apple treat Java trademark.

  5. Re:Netbeans/Eclipse... on What an IBM-Sun Merger Might Mean For Java, MySQL, Developers · · Score: 1

    I know the Eclipse fanboys will object, but I've used both IDEs and Eclipse has its issues and feels like it was built by a committee consisting of competitors.

    Ha! It should feel like, because it IS being built by committees(plural) consisting of competitors.

    OO.o has the BEST CSV import dialog EVER!
    You can actually customize it the way you want, not the way MS predefined it. Btw, Excells CSV files are actually SemicolonSeparatedValues.
    And I can actually select my preffered encofding. But apparently, you rednecks, use only one encoging - ASCII7.

    Imagine that! If you account all of the chairs in all of IBM's employees' homes, since IBM has "work from home". IBM would really mean It Beats Microsoft ( - with chairs. Litelrally :) )

    As a fully integrated collaboration solution and application delivery platform, Notes is actually quite good for the end user. The damn thing needs half a gig just to run, but then who am I to judge, most laptops have 2gb min now.

  9. Re:Prevention for exploit via backups on How To Prevent Being Hacked Via Backups? · · Score: 1

    That's the total paradox - do backups and be screwed or don't and be screwed.

    Well. The fact that you are alive, means that someone got screwed. Therefore, life is a total paradox!

    So you are saying that .NET already overtook Java in the download size, even Java SDK is only 100mb. Interesting... Very interesting.

    Where does he undermine capitalism exactly? He is helping out the capitalists, by keeping them afloat! You should look at it as saving capitalism. People and the state are NOT important for capitalism.

  13. Re:nuts on Obama DOJ Sides With RIAA · · Score: 1

    I can't repeat enough. When Americans stop obsessing about the dollars, change will truly come to US. Italians have a ton of names for pasta, Chinese have more artistic names for food then anybody else, the Inuit have a lot of names for snow, Americans have an incredible amount of names for money(incl. adopted ones). Each nation has something it obsesses about, Americans are obsessed with money, and that is your culture.

    Revolution: Last time it helped temporarily. You need committed people with high values. And literally, you need to understand that what was true 200 years ago is not valid in today's world. And you do need to devise a way of keeping moneybags out of perpetual power.

    Well if the person posting wants to experiment with the infrastructure itself, then EC2 is definitely NOT an option. Since EC2 is a manged infrastructure.

    Taking into account that Gorgians were living with Russians side by side for a good part of the last 500 years, no one in Georgia(except Saakashvili) really had any issues with the plausible occupied future. So it is perfectly plausible that a lot of people actually did get their licenses renewed and taxes payed and so on and so forth.

    You are enormously OVERESTIMATING Russian gov'ts power. It's probably has no more influence, than Afghanistan's gov't has influence over Afghanistan.

    Nobody is saying that by disallowing your addon from being published to an addon site, without a request for donations notice, will kill those addon that are worthy of donations.

    HA! I have seen same or better internal "ergonomics" in a 3 year old FujitsuSiemens computer that cost $200. And most boxes are now very well built. In any case the fact that you are willing to pay extra for the way your computer's internals look, proves, that you are a nutjob.
