That sounds equally horrible, tbh.
ISP's are not inherently evil and need to be stopped or punished. If they are ganged up upon, they will have a tougher time - and that would probably translate to higher prices for the customers.
Microsoft has NEVER been first with a new service or product or platform - yet they seem to do pretty good in many ventures. Never count them out. I actually have a feeling Windows Phone 7 might be something...
Except that Oblivion was a disaster from a design and gameplay perspective. Also, I never found the story to be anything interesting, merely a backdrop, and there was zero immersion in the dialogs. I actually think that a large percentage of the ones who liked that game did it for the graphics.
Oracle is well known in the business (of making money) to have a very good, large and agressive sales force, and that is what have made them large and successful, not the quality of their products.
"Activision acquired Vivendi" - it was the other way around, the board of Activision Blizzard consists of the former Vivendi board. Vivendi wanted a better brand name..
I'm sure they gave it to Obama so that he couldn't back down on his peace-making line. To make sure he'd follow through.
Ofcourse the prize doesn't go to the most peaceful guy in the world, he'd probably be too high to accept the price. It goes anywhere the comittee feel it will do most good.
Exactly. When are people going to realize that the slow uptake of Linux or other free software has nothing to do with quailty, and everything, absolutely everything, to do with marketing? No year will ever be the 'year of Linux'.
I have to agree, VS is the best IDE out there, hands down. MS sure knows where to put its effort, make the best IDE and programmers will follow. And that leads to market domination by software library size.

..which is eaxactly why this will happen. =(

You just had to throw in a cars analogy.. =)

No, it's marketing that is required to make it mainstream. Sorry, next isn't going to be The Year of Linux either.
I don't get the joke..? It's a joke, right?

Wanna work for us..?
Some people like that. Maybe not the gray matter thing, but the rest seem perfectly reasonable.
You just said it wrong. You need to really believe what you're saying, believe your own crap.

You get 30 minutes battery time on a MBP? Then you need to change batteries. I get several hours..
my high school counselors (not to mention my family and their friends) thought I would never amount to anything.
I believe in you
In Sweden, all university thesis'es goes through such a service. www.urkund.se
One could tell =)
Apply Occam's Razor to your own theory about promotion.
Did you make this up as you went or did you have a list ready to paste?

Since it's MS, they were obviously lured. Not scouted. Lured. Decieved. Bastards!
I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you're from the US. This is what happens when you learn a word from watching dramatized documentairies on TV.
you can't kid yourself in thinking they are anything but a minority, and a fairly small one at that with regards to humans in general.
10% is not so small..
