It means the OS is obsolete before it goes beta
That means that they finally came to their senses and do not try to please gay geeks like you with the latest bells and whistles. "Ooooo my icons zoom and have little dancing faggots in them"
For a system used to actually do work, something that is thought out and stable is a long overdue concept. OS needs to be stable.
I vote for 1) path I would not use the word gay though, as it has another meaning impying joy. Lets be less PC - it is downright faggoty. 2) drive letters 3) shell (but that is easily fixable with Cygwin - but then you run into 1 and 2...)
Registry.. mmm. Not sure - at least the intention is reasonable. I like a DB better then a shitload of config files, but at least files are easier to track and clean. If only Registry was better partitioned for different apps it would be not completely bad.
Linux will benefit from a centrilized configuration/administration point - it just needs to be properly designed I guess.

Cygwin. It is actually usable nowdays.
Now if not for those assbackwards filepaths in Win it would be quite good.
Eclipse runs well, and recent version of C++ environment is usable, and integrates with Cygwin GDB, make and GCC nicely. So dev environment is covered.
XP Pro and server 2003, with no frills interface - as a loo-ong time Linux user I do actually prefer to work in Windows nowdays. And I worked on them (almost) all, from PDP11 and CP/M to NextStep and OS X and KDE 3 and what not...
The one reason that Mac prospers is that they actually do have a port of Microsoft Office and most of Adobe products available. Just a thought.
Office is actually one very functional product, when used properly - only I wish they bind C# to it instead of VBA.
MS is evil, all right, but some products of them do work quite fine (Server 2003 and Office for one, and XBox).
And God save us from animated icons.

Didn't those use to run a variant of Linux? Lindows, or whatever it is called now...
On the topic of Microsoft - I really like that they follow UI inventions pioneered in Gnome, KDE, Mac or elsewhere. As I REALLY hate all those pseudo cool doodads. Starting with Windows server 2003 Windows interface is mature, useful and fairly consistent. It is a good interface. No need for the funky shit.
And my server 2003 is still to crash. Unlike Linux boxes I used and keep using for 10 years now. (Though Linux improved remarkably, Windows improved as well. I htink there no no gap now, though I wish for a better shell in Win.)
Natural conclusion is that the most balanced outlet would be the one absolutely nobody trusts: since 100% trust can not be attained, as some people will not agree with each other no matter what it is they are discussing.
Tabloids near you grocery store register are a good approximation. Fox, obviously, is the closest thing to them among major news networks. Good job Fox.
No, not even in America, where the insane massive gun violence rates driven and encouraged by soulless Republicans and NRA nutcases are causing 0.4% of deaths.
There is a shit load of countries that do have strict restriction on firearms, and where criminal gun related deaths are just as high.
Restrictions on personal freedom are NEVER good. In the end - you lose, criminals and politicians win.
I think you are dead wrong. Not beeing excited about the nudity by itself will not damage you arousal. You still can a very healthy and timely erection.
If you may remember, our ancestors did not wear anything. And here we are.
It doesn't. In a country where it is considered normal, it does not evoke any emotions. I have been to nudist, and normally topless beaches all my life - you do not even notice nudity when it is normal, even when you are a very healthy 14 year old.
will always load and render has nothing to do with the language, but the part where the HTML page adheres to a standard
That is also incorrect. Guaranteed computability is a feature unrelated to standard adherence.
For me, it fails the "Is a programming language" test on two levels - you can't loop, and you can't branch.
If this is your cretiria of a "computer language", then your understanding of "languages" is not far off from "HTML programmer", me think.
Nothing wrong with beeing non-Turing.
Could you point to a particular story? Was the doodad you wanted to troll of a particular interest to TH target audience?
Among several review sites I look through, TH did not seem particularly bad, maybe above average on the integrity of review front. And they usually pick fairly representative sample - do not remember obvious omissions or mismatches in comparisons.
Though it is not my favorite site, indeed.
Sweeteners, sure, everybody needs to eat. It is what you do with them. I would not mind demanding something to place a story, especially about some fringe product nobody cares about - I would only mind outright lie in a story, or some really poor review from a technical point of view.
IT HAS NO LOGIC, it can't be used to make applications,
Sure it does, and sure it can. Not beeing Turing complete does not make it useless. Machine that always complete are quite useful for many applications when you need to guarantee computability. Like the fact that an HTML page will load and render.
You can create plenty of useful application using only HTML. For example an online book. Just as good an app as something with fancy flash and script doodads.
Quote: "Fault tolerance was a big issue. We've started by load balancing anything that could easily be balanced, but balancing MySQL is harder. We're funding development efforts with the MySQL team to add database replication and rollback capabilities to MySQL (these improvements will of course be rolled into the normal MySQL release as well"
As in, yes you can hack it up somehow, but it does not really work.
Is not all this charity thing just an old tool to escape capital gains tax?
It works like this - you invest securities into charity. Charity pays you back an annuity, and the remnant goes for the charity cause (all used to be legal - probably some variation is still legal). Now you accelarate this annuity and get back up to 95% of you contribution in two years. So you just got 95% of you securities instead of 85% after Bush's capital gains tax.
I have heard this strategy was designed personally for Gates, and widely copied, until it was shut down byt IRS. I bet they came up with some variation.

I forgot - how many years do I read this crap?
If you normalize by this factor (divide by group average, multiply by overall average) you will get:
Fox 39% - 19%
CBS 20% - 26%
ABC 22% - 26%
NBC 21% - 23%
MSNBC 18% - 23%
CNN 35% - 35%
NPR 20% - 26%
C-SPAN 31% - 28%
So, when normalized properly by the average response from those two groups, CNN is the most balanced. Compute that for yourself.

Any stable, secure, fast and portable product (for example - a toaster) is not worth anything if it can not do its DB duties.

No and No. As both are on a level of crap.
Can it do that? I would think it is more important for "enterprise" tasks.
Sure, I reuse my Slashdot's lowest grade password on other lowest grade public sites.
Those are Sun's patents.
You do not know what you are talking about. And rest assured I can write in English if I care. Was good enough for a Ph.D. thesis.
