What concerns me is how to define stress. I work well under stress, but if I'm always stressed what rigors will I have to endure (think of "George" on the episode of "Seinfield" where he purposefully acted stressed to make it seem like he was really busy). And if I always seemed stressed, will I be fired "for my own benefit" (read: so I don't sue later for a heartattack or something)?
And what about people that manage their stress to the point us stressful people want to smack them? Are they not stressed enough at work and should therefore be fired?
Does anyone else carry company secrets in their suitcase? Granted, my laptop personally doesn't have anything highly confidential, but there are many people that would have company secrets (hopefully secured better than the US government protects their laptops). So, yes, searching a suitcase and a laptop are very different.
That's just it. It seems to be a marriage of TV manufacturers to content producers that are fueling each other. Lower-res content on smaller CRTs looks beautiful but upscaling on larger TVs not so much. People are enticed into getting larger TVs - have been for decades - and it's gotten to the point that you'll need higher-res content. Relatively recently, movies start touting that they look better at 1080p so now you want to get a bigger TV (at least one that supports higher res). There's an end in sigh since 1080p seems to be the highest res for consumers for quite some time, but each was fueling the other and many people - myself included - fell for it.
Wow, one person at least mentioned this is about editing the backup files, but you're still a little off. FTFA,
"When you use certain programs to edit files on a home computer that uses Windows Home Server, the files may become corrupted when you save them to the home server," Microsoft said in a support document posted last week.
Editing the files on your non-WHS PC and having them backed up doesn't cause this. Editing the files directly on the server does. Still a serious flaw but also FTFA,
"Our development team is working full-time through the holidays to diagnose and address this issue,..."
Last time I checked, IE came bundled with Mac OS and Mac OS X as well and follows standards about as well as IE on Windows. How's the lock-in argument work now?
People that know an alternative exists know perfectly well they can download and use that alternative. Taking WMP out of Windows XP (for Windows XP N) also doesn't help anyone since people that don't know about alternatives just want something that plays those "music files" their grandchild sent them. Same with IE. They just want to "view the Internet" and need something. If they do care and do know about an alternative, they know how to get it.
Various *nix distros come with several browsers, but at least KDE and Gnome last I checked install their own default browser. You can still use an alternative but even they prefer one - often to help render content just like IE's rendering engine is used throughout Windows and Windows apps.
If an ISP is throttling or blocking bittorrent traffic, you can pretty much bet that they're tracking which users visit bittorrent-related sites so that they can better block or throttle those users.
Doesn't that imply that those ISPs to which they refer are actually trying to block or throttle those users who are using BitTorrent to download copyrighted works? Most "BitTorrent sites" I've heard of are for copyrighted works. Seems the ISPs are trying to be selective.
Don't get me wrong: I think blocking shouldn't be their concern, but the post does seem to imply that some ISPs are at least trying not to blindly block or throttle everyone.
Of course the RIAA companies want to sell crappy CDs, though - the ones with one good track on them. That way, you buy more CDs. Frankly, I'm surprised they even allow the release of "Greatest Hits" albums because then fans actually do get what they want. Where's the profit in that? After all, music is only a means to make a profit...right? Profit-whoring high five?
Is that why between 40-60% of registered voters vote? And many of those that do (most?) do so to vote for the lesser of two evils. Do nothing, and the incumbant wins and as you imply they've already exercised their power and no doubt only for their greater good, not the voters.
Here in Seattle that's definitely not true. I mean, I hate when bikes ride the roads when they don't need to because it impeeds cars but when they do they break driving laws they have to follow, but it's otherwise fairly well accepted. In fact, slowly this place is going more "green" such that some people who do ride bikes snub those who don't.
Why aren't there flying cars? Why are we growing new body parts? Why no Repet? It's the government's fault.
Many views into our future on the silver screen and no Sci-Fi back when they played science fiction had things that are possible today but politics and ignorance (same thing) get in the way. In some cases, I'm glad government hasn't really allowed for flying cars yet. Too many people already can't drive worth a damn, though I'd expect a license for one of these - perhaps "Class F" - to be much harder to get than a driver's license, where apparently in the US not being able to speak or even read English (like "STOP") lands you one of those.
But look at all the block the Bush Administration has put on various technologies around cloning. I'm not for cloning entire people, but cloning body parts - which reduces the rate of rejection to practically nil - is a wonderful idea. I needed a bone graft once and it didn't take from some other donor. It would've been nice if that could've been cloned from me.
Science and the government don't mix. It's like nerds and jocks in school. When we have revenge of the nerds, then we'll see progress.
In my opinion, that's what good science fiction has always been about: putting humanity in some situation (usually as the result of technology) and then looking at the results... or the consequences.
That's what SF is supposed to be used for and up until around the last decade or so...was. If only the Sci-Fi channel's CEO could get that through her thick skull, we wouldn't have these C-rate "horror" flims on "Saturday: the scariest night on television" on the friggin' Sci-Fi channel.
I think your book idea sounds excellent. Good luck with it!
And even if it is a bit like the concept behind the Matrix, I 1) doubt Matrix thought of it first, 2) is different enough it couldn't seriously be called a cheap knockoff, and 3) yeah, like every idea we have in life is 100% original and unique; our environment is our muse.
Now that's total BS. Copying files, starting applications, and typing text works the same on pretty much every machine. UI differences between Win98 and Vista are asthetic; dragging and dropping files works the same way. And vi?! Seriously. I love vim but it's hardly a good document publishing package. Where's the formatting kids see everyday in media?
Be serious and took an objective look at platforms. Basic operations are the same across platforms, and schools teach students how to use computers - not about computers. Most student will never need to know about 1s and 0s, what a bus is, etc. - they need to know how to use computers in the real works...that is running mostly on Windows anyway. And the educational software - as someone else pointed out above - is mostly written for Windows and Mac anyway.
Of course it's not an open standard. MSFT haters like you shot it down for recommendation. People b*tch about MSFT not being open, and when they try people b*tch about their attempts.
When MSFT was developing OOXML ODF was not yet ratified and MSFT has a product to deliver. Schedules: it's what commercial software runs on.
Because *paying* customers want assurances, and the deal fosters interoperability between the platforms. That's what *paying* customers want in a mixed platform environment. Honestly, what do the opinions of those not contributing to their revenue matter to companies? Nothing comes for free.
I've had that experiment going for a few years in my office now. Hard as a rock, but haven't lost color. We have the control in its wrapper, another out of the wrapper, and one cut in half (and obviously out of its wrapper).
Maybe they could appear on Mythbusters in another 10 years or so when plenty of data is collected.
And that's still an option if the spec has to change. But the spec was still going through the standardization process (well, sorta) when Office 2007 was shipped. They certainly weren't going ot hold up Office 2007 for the potentially long (as it will be now) standardization process.
That's how software in the commercial world works. Software has to ship, and changing code at the last second means complete test runs which both pushes the schedules back as well as costing and organization a lot. Releasing patches is an expensive ordeal as well. It's not like you just can put up a.patch file and expect everyone to download, integrate it, and re-compile their app.
Of course a company isn't going to change their software at the last second. Just because something hasn't shipped yet doesn't mean it isn't done.

There aren't cross-site "issues" regarding this situation. It's all intention, failing cross-site attempts early as a security precaution.

This is indeed scary.

Surely it picked up alien spores that are now loose in our deserts. Isn't this how many bad sci-fi movies begin?!
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. http://boingboing.net/images/cfa4827569_20070921device3.jpg does look like a bomb, and on a uni-bomber-style hoodie no less. I think the police did their jobs this time.
