I certainly wasn't saying the idea is anything other than one of the worst that Oracle has come up with recently - it is. However the idea that it will destroy the company as suggested by the OP is somewhat absurd.
I think oracle is a *little* bit bigger and more powerful than SCO. I don't think they'll get any farther with this than SCO did, but their attempts won't bankrupt them either.
Bah, add in Babylon 5, Quantum Leap, Lost In Space (cheezy-camp, but still an appropriate choice), and a few other classics, so it's not THAT repetitive.
There's a large selection without even having to go to fantasy, let alone reality crap and such. Actually, even fantasy isn't so bad, but it should be a minority of the programming at best.
Seriously, most of the stuff the show is crap-and-drivel. Caprica seemed better than average there, which is probably why they canceled it, they only want to show garbage. If they get low enough ratings on their "science fiction", then they can switch it to the Wrestling Channel.
Maybe they'll use it to create a gene therapy to cure conservatism instead?
Seriously, it's good to have both sides of the coin, because BOTH sides have made a lot of mistakes. Liberals move us forward to try new things, and keep us from falling into some of the traps conservatives seem to favor, and have a flexible/adaptable position. Conservatives keep us from moving to fast, or doing too much of the leap-before-you look, and drop-old-start-new plan before the old plan is done, senselessness that you can see with liberals.
Hmm... Criticism of both. I think that I shall be well flamed now.
I think the GP meant that it should already be in the client as a debugging / diagnostic tool.
And I wouldn't be surprised if it was. But having something in the client and having it polished to the point where it is end-user friendly, are two different things. The latter is probably the feature creep part.

Nope, I've only ever had one console. What are you going on about again?
the Clark County Registrar says that when voters choose English instead of Spanish, Reid's Republican opponent, Sharron Reid's name is checked by default."
I've had systems where it slows down for large file transfers, and others where it doesn't. The pattern I've noticed: Intel integrated video chipsets. It may be any integrated video, but the only integrated video I've had and used with Linux is intel.
Windows/Linux/FreeBSD: None slow down appreciably with a large file transfer and dedicated video card, though Windows has the most slowdown in this case.
Linux, by far, handles large file transfers the worst with integrated cards (at least G31 and earlier chips), and FreeBSD is the only one of the three where I don't see much performance degradation.
I *suspect* the issue is related to shared memory, although I would think that DMA would fix that.

Hahaha. I'm glad you aren't in charge of any IT security.
At least, I seriously hope you aren't.
Because if you think that's going to give you a huge security boost, you've got another thing coming.
You get better security with an informed user than switching from any current OS to any other current OS.
Yeah. What about vulnerabilities introduced by patches?
Pretty sure those happen too.
Actually, I thought many AV companies also had web blacklisting software as well.
Given that most home computers run Windows, and a lot of business workstations as well, would Windows be a normal computer?

Sanctuary is interesting, it's so hit or miss with good/bad. They can do good, just not consistently.
I know what you mean about SGU. This is the Syfy channel, not the Soap Opera With Space Ships channel. I think that's 192 or something.

Except my girlfriend... And that only helps strengthen my logic to be a pessimist.
Both make good choices too.
I'm just a pessimist, because, in the end, everything in the world sucks.
I'm guessing you didn't know about this. http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/10/28/1220247
Not touching the rest of that with a 10 foot pole.
you didn't read the rest of the post did you? You fail at sarcasm.
Or, more succinctly
wooooooooosh!
My God, I wish I had mod points.
That post needs a good +5 insightful.

Was the joke really that subtle that nobody got it?
I showed having many consoles, then suggested that I only ever had one.
Since when was /. new to sarcasm?

98 wasn't bad for the generation, you had, what, MacOS and Linux of the time to compare it to, for a desktop? MacOS was definitely a competitor then.
There's also examples of 2000 and XP, which were quite good OSes.
Not saying there weren't competitors, in the 2000 and XP era, there was MacOS X, which was a good OS back then, and is still getting better.
Like every company, MS has had ther fuckups, and their successes.

I'm sure that when the gray goo comes to take over, the creators of South Park will be glad the can Blame Canada too!
Only if we can make replicators that replicate their own microwaves...
Did they mean Sharron Angle?
Was there an 'A' or 'B'?
Hmm... What will 'I' be?
