Agreed. Identify your target audience first and then write to their requirements. The only assumption I would make is to write to a 10th grade reading level. Who,what,when,where,why will do fine for joe blow with almost no science at all.
writing my first manuscript to be submitted to a peer reviewed scientific journal.
I cannot reconcile this statement in the article. Peer reviewed articles stay relevant for decades and it is best to present your data as it is in a logical concise format.
Rambling on for entertainment purposes is pointless. Scientists who read peer reviewed articles want to know what you did and how you did it. Not how you feel about it. If you have to make any assumptions to this audience you need to narrow the scope of the paper.
Two different worlds.
1. Ultimate, Premium, Basic, Business, Enterprise... versioning rip-off. If Xp Home vs.Pro didn't piss enough people off?
2. Licensing - A 1x transfer? Businesses should stay away just for that reason alone.
3. Resource inflation. The amount of hardware you have to throw at Vista is ridiculous.
4. UAC. The epitomy of the Are you sure? box.
5. WinFS? ZFS?
6. The changes in the windows interface since 98 is schizophrenic
I like the search implementation.
I would guess if you bought ME you'll buy Vista. Otherwise there's a _LOT_ of work that needs to be done to convince me (and my customers I support).
1 CCTV camera solves 100% of the crimes it records
The article argues,the money could be better spent on more police.
Do you think the police would even investigate the pickpocket crime the article depicts had it not been on video?
Why are they using CCTV? Kind of expensive. How about crapload of folding@home cameras.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of them!
p.s. in the U.S. you could make a law that requires police to carry cameras instead of tasers.
There. Now I've done it.
But I did. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=294841&cid=20566253. Now you are still "fighting the good fight", but your laptop still isn't fixed. BTW on my dell I have a an extra drive with windows on it that swaps out in 2 minutes. Let us know when it is fixed for real and all us slashdotters can coach you with our brilliance and wit.
ahem, this is a molehill. Let's clarify a few things while we give the benefit of the doubt to the service center, just for a moment. Did you purchase the laptop with this OS on it? Do you expect them to be experts on everything? No, they are experts at supporting what they sold you.
Suppose during the course of the repair they decide to replace the display or even the system board. Would you rather they test it or just send it back to you with some screws missing and your HDD formatted.
Better to back up the drive yourself, put windows back on and tell them you suspect problems with the drive - which would be true if you just put windows on it.
No sense arguing with robots that are trained to do only one thing and only one way. Hope they fix it for you instead of saying you voided the warranty by treating your laptop like a frisbee.
The main thing to remember is to play the system. The first tech you talk to is trained to help you as long as you let him, it doesn't cost him anything. If you force him outside his rulebook or comfort zone, the manager gets involved and defends the worker and you are SOL.

evidently we got their attention.
I suspect sometime after peak oil but before hell freezes over.
Seriously, after learning the rpm and apt-get package systems. I lost interest in fiddling with others. If distributions want to lock themselves out of the market, just keep fragmenting -it's allowed.
Hopefully Xorg can incorporate a generalized default graphics routine so every freakin distribution doesn't re-invent the wheel.
I can't count the number of times a noob has returned a live cd to me because "it doesn't work"
How would my grandmother know she should have just selected the VESA line?
Ftfp...

So let me understand, the company makes no product... Only behemoths like Microsoft and Google should be allowed to dedicate massive resources to _succesfully?_ develop products based on other peoples insight? God forbid someone actually make money by THINKING./dives into flame resistant suit/
Here's a thought... Why don't you supply your boss with what he is asking rather than what you thing he is asking. If you want to feed him/dev/random, remember, garbage in garbage out. After all he is supposedly trained in MANAGEMENT and able to translate the highly technical information (which you as a technical expert would provide) to your upper management, who may not even know you exist. Sounds like a good fit to me.

agreed, if it doesn't make use of the function IsComputerOnFire it's got to be substandard.

yeah it's probably explained better in the filing http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PT O1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fs rchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6411947.PN.&OS=PN/64119 47&RS=PN/6411947
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, some are based on fact, others are based on warm fuzzy feelings.
Congrats on first post though.
