They have been talking about a new file system since the days of Vista development. vista and Windows 7 saw no new filesystem. It is about time. I just wish they would get on with it deploy the damn thing. Screw compatibility. Just throw a driver in between the new FS and NTFS and people will migrate off of it as soon as possible.
because it gives them a feeling of control that they lack in their daily lives/quote?
Uh, no, I have control. I control the machines. They do everything I ask, and they do it now! So I have no lack of control in my daily life as I am immersed in computing machines.
Dropping the video cards will save on power usage and costs. As an observation, out of many of the IT force now emplyed, a majority are actually afraid of the command line. Out of all the people in my department, I'm the only one who prefers a command line. Those who have elected to avoid it are not very productive since they cannot script anything. Everything they do is through repetitive GUI travel. Many have established their tech brain pathways with a GUI; it will be a painful transition for some who are forced to use a command line. Personally, I like to script things so I can pass the tasks off to a monkey and free my time for more automation. Before I arrived, the only scripts in the house were copy and pasted from the Internet.
The real problem is the use as an attack vector, unnecessary overhead in virtualized environments, and the fact that a lot of the servers are never accessed from the physical console. There will still be plenty of remote GUI based management applications for servers. You can use any "language" you want to build a custom management console that utilizes Powershell calls.
You can still do that with a GUI based management console on your home computer. That part will not change. You will not have GUI on the physical server console though. Is this slashdot? You guys are supposed to be smarter than this.
I'll elaborate. Your ID is WAY to high to be talking about Windows in here. Furthermore, what you said sounds like Will Farrell in Bewitched when he was trying to do the dog scene (I'm sure it's on youtube if you're not familiar). Now again, you make even more comments during your elaboration that make no sense whatsoever. Are you high?
There is an old saying: "Work sucks." I like my job most of the time, but it is nothing like working for myself. Shedding politics, politics, and....peoples' shitty attitudes (a result of politics) is priceless. I feel sorry for the people who are stuck in jobs. I enjoy the ability to at least move around and enjoy the new job until I learn about the political dynamic. Then it is time to go again. When you are new it is great, but after you settle in it seemsto go down hill quick. Three years is about the most time bearable in a job. I did have one job once that was not at all stressful--working for the Red Cross. They didn't pay very much, but the environment was very laid back. Non-profits don't contain all the ladder climbers of the corporate world, and none of the bureaucrats found in government work--a win win except for the low pay.
On XP machines the use of root kits that utilize VSS are common. Don't bother trying to remove or use system restore since they are controlling the PC from that vector. Full wipe is the most efficient method of mitigation. On Windows 7 there are not as many root kits that work since Microsoft has implemented a randomized memory placement of juicy services (the old root kits can't take hold because their target memory location is invalid).
I do not recommend AVG. It will not leave you alone about system scans and I have found no way to disable the "warning." Also, Microsoft Security Essentials is nice--despite my loathing of Microsoft. I personally do not run any antivirus myself, which I find to be the cleanest solution. For regular users though I would recommend MSE--it stays out of the way. It is not legal for use in a business or on Enterprise versions of Windows 7.
Like me, I would rather fall on a sword than work at MacDonalds. Is that rational? No, but neither is wasting your life away while making MacDonalds' residual claimants prosper.
I've run my application on OpenJDK without any issues. It makes use of a lot of core Java SE functionality; not to mention all the third party libraries. Anyone met any deficiencies in OpenJDK lately?
So, instead of getting dragged in to a negotiation match with Oracle over licensing they meander through the courts where a negotiation is forced. This will probably help Google save some money and gain more freedom with the platform. Or it could blow up in their face, but they probably know what they are doing in this regard.
Java's mark has been left on the industry for all posterity. There will always be Java run-times and a Java "language." There is so much going on in the Java community that Oracle has no control over. It solves too many problems and has an enormous installed base. The reason it hasn't completely taken over is because so many people want to see it killed--starting with Microsoft many years ago. The flexibility of the applications to move from one platform to another rubs against many companies' desire for control and vendor lock-in practices.
A comedian could do a whole stand up routine about MapQuest. It is a joke. Google built their Maps because MapQuest sucked. MapQuest was dominant, they competed, Google won. End of story.
People are choosing Google with their fingers and eyes because they don't like the other services. When I ran my first Google search over a decade ago every other search engine died in my eyes. I never bothered with another one again. I have tried several others recently in an attempt to honestly evaluate them; no go.

Got a problem? Get QuickBooks. Now you got two problems.

I thought we were going to talk about ePub. Instead I'm navigating through an Apple slalom rant.

Next generation WTF: mission critical enterprise applications written in Powershell. Probably better than VB though.

Microsoft needs to dump the Windows name for serious products like servers. They need someone with vision in the top spot to allow this to happen.

Wow, all the sudden Ron Paul appears? WTF?
Whenever anyone laments that they have just lost a job I say, "Congratulations." Most of the time it is the best thing that could ever happen to you.

On another machine? Have you used Wireshark?

Don't bother. Their products are cheap garbage. On the drastic low-end of the scale.
