Um, maybe because the corporate world with corporate secrets (whether they should be or not) use Office and don't put their works up on the web; and those who do tend to publish are typically in the open source camp?
In some cases, yes. Some women always see themselves as victims and that makes for a bad work environment as well. It makes everyone walk on egg shells - the really brittle ones.
And don't get me wrong, lots of non-WASP individuals see themselves as victims and it sucks.
These "victims" usually see conflict where there isn't, and it's counter-productive.
What, you actually believe it's about protecting children? Utter control has always been the agenda, and what better way to get people to want to install monitoring software that will, of course, phone home than the mention it's for their children?
Besides, if he wrote a paper and his professor was shocked, I'm sure it was only because of his horrible grammar (ex: countries instead of country's). Sheesh. If you're going to spread FUD, at least try to sound intelligent.
All assemblies from other product that comprise.NET 3.0 (which contains.NET 2.0) are scheduled at priority 3, which are NGEN'd when the machine is idle. This explains why it got better on its own.
MPAA and RIAA have both gone on record stating basically that downloading copyrighted work is more costly than other crimes, which of course includes molestation. And of course, cost is all that matters - not shattering lives like RIAA has so many times before.
And so the poor should just go to school somehow and learn how to be geeks that fix robots? How does that work? Corporations surely won't pay for many since robots could most often do the work of more people, but will need even fewer people to maintain them. Do we call for more government programs? That would increase taxes offsetting some of the cost savings from using robots. Do we just send them home? Remember, this topic is not just about illegal immigrants or even legal immigrants, but people in general.
Just because you can, doesn't always mean you should. People have lives to live.
I guess you can't either. Several translators already exist, with their companies' support behind them like Novell. Read ALL the news first to grok the topic, not just one article.
That's all this is: FUD. If OOXML becomes a standard which will happen in time with the fast track process (coincidence? most likely not) then it fits the bill - literally.
That is not exactly true. Yes, by default every program recognized as an installer (setup.exe, things with "setup" or "installer" in the version info block, etc.) is elevated unless otherwise manifested.
So, could this be exploited by a malicious setup.exe? Certainly, but to say that "every application installer" must be elevated is false. Good setup authors can manifest their setup so that it doesn't require administrative privileges.
I'm just approaching this from the other side of the coin.
Why don't we just put up a shield like Conner MacLeod did in Highlander II: The Quickening? People seemed to love that and it magically did wonders for the economy.
The poster said that exposing the vulnerability didn't pay. Now, while I think banned from the Internet (yeah, however THAT works) is extreme, keep in mind he didn't just disclose the vulnerability - exploited it. Had he just exposed it - and was mindful to disclose it first to MySpace - I'd feel more sympathy toward the guy.
'We have among the most drastic censorship rules for games,' said Frank Sliwka, head of the Deutsche E-Sport Bund, an umbrella federation for German online gaming teams. 'Now we are being labelled as a breeding ground for unstable, dysfunctional and violent youngsters.'
Of course it's your fault - nowhere else do unstable, dysfunctional and violent youngters breed. Nowhere.
I knew I was getting old when I first realized that these kids today with their modern legos have it too easy, what with all those crazy custom pieces. Why, when I was a kid, we had to use our imagination to build stuff.
I couldn't agree more, and have been saying the same thing myself for years. They should make some subtitle - like some have "No Glue Required" - such as, "Now without Requiring Imagination".
I just don't get all these toys today that say "let your kid use their imagination", when everything is displayed for them. Sure, learning games might help them learn but not really discover. There are some, but the vast majority seem to just spoon-feed everything to kids. That may yield more book smarts, but common sense will often get you farther in life.
I see only two explanations for this apparent contradiction, neither of them good.
Perhaps there's a third option: SUSE will contain code covered under Microsoft patents, since Microsoft is helping both the distribution and Windows interoperate better, which might mean breaking a few of its own patents, since Microsoft has that right.
How about a fourth? The article thinks Novell is spreading FUD. Maybe out of this deal is code for use in other linux distros, but Microsoft is helping to energize SUSE given how much money was dumped into Novell.
Now for a fifth: the article referenced in this post is just spreading FUD. It's the typical, "It stinks of Microsoft so it must be bad." I don't see how better interop is bad.
I don't think the kids would even learn so much. How many times do teachers have to say "[Jimmy], pay attention!" Most kids don't have the greatest attention span (damn dreamers - ridalin for everyone!). Put them in front of a computer - even with supposed blocks, which at least one person will work around then post on MySpace for everyone else to do - and they will do other things.
When will this country (USA - maybe even others, too) wake up and realize that we should put more focus - not less, and not closing down schools all over - on our kids' education. They are the future - good or bad. I prefer good (i.e., well-educated).
Perhaps that would be the case, or perhaps people would simply recognize what many have already said - that the EU (much like other government throughout the world) don't have their peoples' best interests in mind. Seriously, regarding Media Player: if people know about alternatives they should likely know they can install them without problem; if they don't know about alternatives, well now they have an OS with a media player installed. To expect Microsoft to ship other players is absurd. Partnerships are between companies, not enforce (but perhaps prevented) by governments.
RTFB - the HTML send to whatever API you have installed and selected for a blog engine is dramatically cleaned, far more than saving to "HTML, filtered" from Word. I've used the feature myself to validate it. Maybe you should try it.
This form of identification in language was previously only known to exist in the human world.
While whale-watching in the North Pacific ocean around San Juan Island, the whale expert explained how whales make a unique sound before and after their other phrases, and that these sounds are often accompanied by a reply for a different whale. The unique sounds were most often unique to the whale that responded. As such, experts believed these to be used like names.
Such a conversation would go something like this:
Willy. How are you? Willy.
Shamu. Fine. Nice day for entertaining whale watchers. Shamu.
I'm glad. I've been testing OneCare and the way it blocks outgoing connections is annoying. Unlike with Windows XP SP2 / Server 2003 Firewall, it doesn't block traffic until you answer (or the request times out in the client app). It just causes the connection to die unless the program is already approved. If you select "allow" then it will work next time...at long as the client program isn't already screwed-up because of the blocked connection (this could've killed my Treo 700w with the recent update if the blocked connection was killed later in the update process).
Now, presumably Vista Firewall will block lower in the network stack so it won't just cause the connection attempt to immediately die, but if it works like OneCare I'm blad it won't block outgoing by default.
As people keep forgetting, IE is a reusable component and because it's so easy to integrate to allow other applications easy browing, HTML editing support, and related technologies it's helped not only Microsoft's applications (using either MSHTML or the WebBrowser control) but countless numbers of developers.
While it probably has been expensive to maintain, I'm sure it adds a lot of value to all the applications that use either mshtml.dll (rendering) or shdocvw.dll (WebBrowser control, which uses MSHTML but adds more navigation functionality).
So I guess all my old college classmates and that 14 year old girl RIAA sued (among many others) are all terrorists. Gosh, Gonzales is an appointed official by elected "representatives" so it must be true.
To answer someone questions about who elects these people, let me just state that we Americans don't have much choice. It's one lying idiot or another; and either way they hardly represent the majority of their constituents.
"... and comfort levels (BSoD et al) that they have with Microsoft software."
Oh come on, seriously, when's the last time you've had a BSoD? I've only had two on all my XP and Server 2003 machines combined (both on XP) - and that's quite a few - and was because of Creative Labs drivers, which - as everyone knows - suck. In this case the BSoD was just a kernal panick because the driver was doing or about to do something terrible and linux et. al. would've reacted no differently.
So, get off the BSoD kick. I'm doing kernel debugging, user mode debugging, development, running all sorts of apps (both Microsoft and non-Microsoft) and haven't had BSoDs in years except for that Creative Labs driver I installed (and soon after uninstalled!).
Have you been living in a hole? Microsoft publicly announced that.NET would not be core to Vista (then, "Longhorn") and listed many reasons why, but that it would consider putting some of the effort back into the V.next release.
You need to read/. more often if you're going to post crap.

The U.S. isn't governed by the people. When our opinions differ from big business, big business lobbying will win.
It's pretty clear what Slashdotter opinion is, so why is the some old question being asked again when it certainly won't change anything?
