For all those issues, who do people call? Not Microsoft... Pfft, they call Dell, HP, or whomever they bought their box from.
Thats because they paid very little for that copy of the OS, if you buy a copy of windows off the shelf (instead of the OEM copies that come with PCs), you get Microsoft support.
Solution: Have a relatively unlimited pool of available H1B visa's. With the provision that anyone hired must be paid 110% of the prevailing US wage for the work.
Doesn't this become recursive?
Every new H1B employee will have to be paid progressively higher wages. Good luck with the inflation...
Something better they could do: give out http ssl certs for free under their own root cert (which major browsers trust). The big barrier to ssl for small sites is cost - in some cases the cost of an ssl cert will exceed all other costs.
Only if Google is going to foot the bill to verify each site they are providing SSL certs for, and maintain cert revocation lists. Its pointless to use SSL if you can't trust the CA to only provide certs to genuine sites.
Verisign at least verifies the requester of the certificate is the owner of the dns entry. And that is where most of the cost of a SSL cert goes to.
Actually, it's much more likely that the IOC chose China because of the rather large bribes which were presented to their selection committee.
That IS how they operate after all. Free dinners, big parties, free alcohol, and free jewelry for their wives or cars for the husbands so they can honestly say "No, I didn't get anything".
Its funny, you just described the American political process perfectly.
But with 20 machines, your Canonical support costs are now less than $15 per machine-year. And the support contract comes with an SLA. How much does MS support cost? How much is a seat license for MS Exchange-related products?
I call bullshit, this is obviously not the real world you're talking about. Canonical have to pay their support engineers you know, and supporting 20 machines definitely takes more man power (and therefore costs more) than supporting 1 machine. Even if this were true, canonical would be out off business in a very short time and then your support contract wouldn't be worth the paper its written on.
I'm sure that you posted the revionist history tha the current AT&T managment would like to see, but it simply isn't true. The present AT&T is not the same as the old one. Another company assembled the pieces, not the old AT&T.
Who cares which company assembled all the pieces. The pieces are back together, so the old company is back together.
I've been developing, publishing, supporting, and updating my Mac shareware program for 12 years - since Mac OS 7.5. Originally written to the Mac OS classic toolbox, I adapted it to CarbonLib in 1999 with some effort, to get ready for Mac OS 9, and I ported it to Carbon OS X in 2001, making it much better in the process. And I'll be porting it to Cocoa later this year, and taking it an entirely new level through the use of the latest Mac OS X APIs for compositing and animation.
Not sure if you're been sarcastic.
The fact that you have to rewrite your Mac program 4, repeat FOUR times in 12 years is EXACTLY what everyone is complaining about. A lot of windows95 programs still run without needing to be recompiled.
sorry buddy, QuantumG is correct. There's this thing called critical mass, see.. No buddy, you are wrong.
There this thing called pressure see... and it changes the thing called critical mass...
Its not easy to do, but we live in a high tech world
I've written integration software for Office, and then ported it to support OpenOffice... I find that as a casual user it meets my needs I'm sorry, but thats a oxymoron.
I've known some lawyers who talked about the degree of animosity that exists between lawyers and judges.
A lawyer spends several decades suffering various forms of abuse and condescension at the hands of the judges he/she faces with every case... then by the time their turn comes to sit on the bench, they are so thoroughly bitter and full of spite they simply can't wait to unload gallons of the same kind of poison on the next batch of lawyers who come in front of them. You know, this is just like the all-male high school I went to. The older kids would intimidate, harass and be generally cruel to the younger kids, and eventually those younger would become the older kids and get their turn to do the same thing.
More importantly, OLPC should be putting software into the hands of these kids, not just a license to use a copy of some software owned by someone else.
Do you think it really matters to the underprivileged kids in Africa whether their software is free as in speech or free as in beer or just a license to use?
Its sad that people like you are using those kids as an opportunity to push you political/religious beliefs.
It'll get better. Half-finished software is the price the world pays for being whiny and impatient. Apple users, welcome to the world of Microsoft users.
From quiet reports, USA is finding that they employee more ppl than NASA did in the late 60's (their pinnacle) So? Given a population of over 2 Billion, you can pick any industry and say China has more employees than than the US.
Interoperability is as simple as releasing specs and source code without obligation. Stop trying to change the meaning of Interoperability. Interoperability != Open and free source code.
Just because today's software paradigms can't utilize mutlicores very well doesn't mean multicore architecture is fundamentally flawed. As far as we know, our own brains are a vastly parallel system, and we seem to be flexible enough to solve most problems.
the markup for most of my purposes is as easy as HTML... Its too bad others don't know how easy it is I think you need to go out into the real world some time and check out what percentage of people thinks HTML is easy (or even know what it is for that matter).
Its worse, correct headline is "Scientists increase temperature of superconductor by adding great pressure, thinks its possible to get room temperature superconductor by adding even more pressure (Even though there is no way to generate that pressure yet)."

So what happens when you send a unit back in time to kill itself?
Is the root troll an auto text generating bot? Hmm... It might be an interesting project to write an auto troll feeding bot.

This feature has been available on Sony SZ laptops for quite a few years now.

Your wise man was wise. Violence is sometimes appropriate, and a smart person would know when to use it.
What happens when every idiot in the world quotes that, and uses violence to solve every problem?
You still have a IP address, even if you have no login or cookies.

I believe they are referring to the diameter of the event horizon
Wrong, ODF does the same thing. Really, what do you expect the links to do when the original docs are NOT available yet?
Its worse, correct headline is "Scientists increase temperature of superconductor by adding great pressure, thinks its possible to get room temperature superconductor by adding even more pressure (Even though there is no way to generate that pressure yet)."
Nope, That only happens after you cool it belong 0K .
