Pretty simple. Don't buy it then. Or use Linux. You act like people have no freedom of choise. People DO have freedom of choice, and they choose Microsoft products.
Yes they are. The good things the person has done are white, the bad things the person has done are black (or vice versa if you are offended). There you are, black and white, as long as you don't generalize everything.
The U.S. has more people in jail than an other country. Likely only because some of the other countries kill them rather than putting them in jail. The U.S. makes prisoners pay for there stay by working for companies like Nike, Planet Hollywood and Microsoft (ever wonder which wako shrink rapped your MS word box?). Committing a crime should get you free room and board? U.S. didn't abolish slavery, they just changed the rules and promoted some slaves. (Actually, this isn't fair to blame the U.S., other than letting the corperations run the country.) They did abolish slavery.
OK, does ANYBODY know how we can changes this? We don't have to, what you describe doesn't exist.
Corruption is a lesser evil than uncontrolled/unregulated marketplace Really? So Hong Kong (a famously "unregulated economy") must be a worse place to live than somewhere such as Cuba?
Why don't people go work for their competitors who must have more fair labour practices then? I don't think its that bad of a place to work, Wal-Mart employees seem generally happy to me, at least up here in Canada.
Simply brute force handcoding individual reports in Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Lisp, etc. can be done, but is very time consuming.
An extremely detailed report (with subreports, aggregates on multiple levels, etc) can be generated (by someone who knows what they are doing) in Crystal Reports or MS Access and integrated into a reporting framework that handles all your filtering, interface, etc in about 15 minutes, or less. How quickly can this be done with web interface (and the Crystal web deployment is not a valid solution, because it doesn't scale.)
If profit and efficiency is a concern (which I'm sure it is for his manager, not sure about you though; Efficiency, yes, profit....well....), then I think he is asking a very valid question. I have been searching the internet extensively the last couple of days for an application that will allow you to easily design and serve up internet based reports, but I have not found a single product that even attempts to reproduce the functionality of the multitude of client server report writers on the market.
And to all of the people who say "why don't you do your homework before you ask questions with obvious answers", you might want to read some of the postings from the helpful and knowledgeable people here, I know I've learned of a few products that I was unable to find in Google.
This is useful information. I don't have time to read every tech site out there, so I thank him for posting it, as do many others I'm sure. Since it is valuable information, should it not get moderated up, even if it isn't first hand information?
Posts exist to publicize original content
As far as I'm concerned, posts exist to distribute information. If they were only for original content, then this entire news item (and 90% of other items) should not even be appearing on/., since it was posted elsewhere first, and is therefore not original content. Almost nothing is original content on this site, that doesn't mean it isn't useful and interesting.
Your loathing for all things Microsoft doesn't affect thie success either. The ratio of ABMers to people that use what works and is proven is still quite small, as we can see in the marketplace.
I've yet to hear a really lucid explanation of why I should want my apps and personal data floating in an amorphous cloud, but maybe that's just me
Sigh. That is not what.Net is. .Net technologies will enable application rental and data storage, but it is more than that. People not wanting to rent apps is irrelevant to the success of.Net.
Sorry wise guy, that doesn't prove anything, other than the fact that the ship and what you threw out the back are moving away from each other. When you get to grade 10 or 11 you'll learn about these things.
Thats not what.Net is..Net is a development platform, upon which microsoft happens to have plans to build some subscription services (office, etc)..Net itself is not these subscription services.
Perhaps if you had a clue what it was you'd feel differently. Your the first person I've seen compare.Net to VNC, so at least you're being original, in taking ignorance on Slashdot to new levels.
I would consider using it. Look at it this way, if it is just a server dedicated to a web service(s), I can buy a cheaper box than required for windows 2000, and it will likely be more stable, and definitely heaper. You could probably hire a Linux geek to install & configure the whole setup for about $50, as long as you told them otherwise you were going to use windows, heck, they might even do it for free!
Then, you can still use your windows box for doing development, but deploy the services on cheap linux.
Access forms are actually more difficult to set-up & maintain, and offer no more than much more cleaner, useful HTML forms
Ok, just one example: How would you filter a combo box after an item is chosen from another combo box, especially when you are working with very large tables?
So what? Don't run the script. Ootlook is great, except it has TOO MANY fetaures,some of which are turned on by default, which they shouldn't. But other than this its fine, or do you disagree?
dejanews is BY FAR the number one service that I would pay for on the internet if everything wasn't free. I have been using it for years, and if you count the cost in development time it has saved me personally when trying to figure out some nit picky little bug or find a quick and dirty solution/ code sample, it would be easily thousands of dollars.
In a recent edition of Ad Libs (the newsletter of the Patent & Trademark
Depository Library Program), an entry entitled "Patent Myths" addresses this
topic.
An excerpt reads "Duell, it is often alledged, recommended that the USPatent
Office be closed because 'everthing that can be invented has been invented.'
It's a good story, but entirely false. Don Kelly, director of the USPTO
Independent Inventors Program Office, takes on the myth in 'Setting the
Record
Straight,' published in the May/June issue of Inventor's Digest (p10-11).
On page 116 of the Patent Office Pony, the following appears "Mr. Ellsworth
wrote one sentence in the 1843 report which has been misunderstood and
misquoted
ever since. He wrote 'the advancement of the arts, from year to year, taxes
our
credulity and seems to presage the arrival of that period when human
improvement
must end.' The statement which is usually falsely attirbuted to some
commissioner or another, based upon this is that 'Everything that can be
invented has been invented.' No commissioner has ever said this... in his
1988
book, Victory without War, Richard Nixon attributed the latter statement as
of
1899 to Commissioner Duell, who also never said it"

Maybe try using your head. You must really have trouble in day to day life it that post confused you.
It is a fact that if you ask anyone anywhere what is "Coca-cola", "GE" or "GM and what is "Microsoft" they will not be able to recognize MS.
What do you mean? What is this Microsoft you refer to in your post? I don't recognize it.
aaaahhhh ahahaha hahahhaaaa
What did you really mean?

It works a hell of a lot better than the alternative, letting governments run the show.

Good enough for 2nd or 3rd place in the entire world, I wouldn't complain too much, it can get much worse.

I saw an ATM that had crashed once, and it was running Microsoft OS/2. This was about 5 years ago I guess.
