Dude! It is like totally obvious. Gates has a serious case of Jobs envy. "So, what to do?" [Light bulb flickers] "I know, I'll make that bumptious fool Balmer the CEO. Then, when he's brought the company to the brink of disaster, the board will demand my return. All hail the returning conqueror, Bill The Genius Gates!"
Of course, Billy Boy ain't quite as smart as he thinks he is. [That's been his problem all along, me thinks.] Microsoft's technology is so seriously interwoven into the fabric of world business, that it will be years and years before things will deteriorate to any significant degree. By then it will be too late for Gates to play at being Stevie. Really, all that is needed is a serious competitor to Exchange/Office that is all of a piece, proprietary(Yes!), and runs on Gnu/Linux. I'd have my company jump ship tomorrow if such were available. I would pay $400 per desktop for such as that. It doesn't exist. Nobody is working on it. But sooner or later somebody in China or India will wake up and smell the tea. Then it's over for the schmucks at Microsoft.
Can someone explain something to me: the whole erase trim thing seems like such a kludge. Why doesn't the controller, when it gets a "delete" command, update the file system table, and then mark the data for erasure to take place as soon as the drive is quiescent? What's so hard about that?

Time To Dump XP?

· Score: 0
Keep repeating, "Win7 is faster than XP", "Win7 is faster than XP", "Win7 is faster than XP", "Win7 is faster than XP", "Win7 is faster than XP", "Win7 is faster than XP", "Win7 is faster than XP"
The damage to the annular meant that the pressure tests were invalid. The invalid pressure tests meant that when they decided to pull the mud out, they had now idea what was going to happen. As it turned out, the actual pressure was so much higher than what the invalid test said it was, that when they pulled the mud out, the whole thing exploded. You know the rest.
You are very astute but you too are a victim of the most successful misinformation campaign in history. You are leaving out the prime mover: Fractional Reserve Banking. Formally institutionalized in the US in 1913 by the Federal Reserve, it is the root cause of nearly every bubble and crash in history, and absolutely, unequivocally, the root cause of every bubble and crash in the US since then.
>> it can't take action if the student moves three feet and yells the accusation in through the open window?
That's correct. What the student does off campus is no business of the school's. Unless. Unless you dump the bankrupt public school system, and so that only private schools are left. Then, in order to be allowed to enroll, a prospective student must sign a contract of deportment that covers both on campus and off campus behavior. Hello?
>> There is no polite way to tell someone that the science directly conflicts with the religious/political/social tenets that they've been taught were sacred since they were a child.
This is damage in the concept of "polite". Route around!
Frantic dissembling to attempt to reconcile experience with superstitious nonsense is not thinking. Nor is prolonged meditation whose goal is auto-narcosis. Yes, they both resemble thinking in the way that running into walls resembles watch-making - they both involve use of the cerebellum, however, one, thinking, results in insight and understanding, whereas those others I list, the activities of those people you mention, result in falsehood and fog. Nice try, but no.
The problem is very real. The term "impedance mis-match" is only accurate in a pretty loosely analogous manner, however I can't come up with anything better. Maybe, MAYBE, telerik has a solution, but I haven't tried it yet. The last two I tried, devExpress, and Cache, were a joke, although Cache could be god's gift if those numbnuts had any clue how to provide, not just a database, but the development tools to go with it. They don't.
Christ, how many idiots are going to keep repeating this same nonsense?
Any fucking idiot, who knew what the men on that ship knew, would have known that this well was not safe to remove the mud from. This was not some random one-out-of-a-million fluke.
AFTER THE ANNULAR WAS DAMAGED, THERE WERE NO VALID PRESSURE TESTS. Duh. What's your problem, moron?
Microsoft finally admitted that autorun is a vulnerability. Does that mean it is gone from XP SP3? Nope. They want XP to look bad now, so that vista/7 don't look like the crap that they are.
Um, well, if the blowout preventer was damaged, and they could not fix it, then you leave the mud in place and abandon the well. Hell, you inject more mud, and cap the motherfucker. You seem to forget that this well did not blow until after they removed the mud. And they only removed the mud because the pressure testing showed acceptable pressure levels. And the pressure testing showed acceptable levels because it was reading low due to the fact that the damaged annular was not sealing. And they knew that the annular was damaged. Hello?
BP's CEO, Chairman, and the same two from the drilling company. They are just as much at fault for allowing BP to bend them over. I think the guillotine is more humane though.
You are very perceptive. Please read my sig. Social credit really would solve all the ills you mention. I admit that I have no idea how to see it implemented, but I think it is better to at least know what should be done, than to not know.
That's pretty much the whole purpose of supplication. Threatening mayhem is not supplication, but it often accomplishes the same purpose. However, and this is what has apparently gone over your head like the space shuttle used to, in the the context of police asking you to abandon your rights, accompanied with veiled or otherwise threats, the correct response is to be brave and not abandon your rights, as the threats are often hollow, especially since the very act of police making said threats exposes them to some liability. Or they may carry out the acts of mayhem, and, in which case, if you survive, you can sue. If you don't survive, at least you died a hero, not a dog. Oh, sorry.
Never forget: many men and women risked all they have, and many lost it all, to secure these rights for us. To abandon them in the face of threats by bullies is pretty fucking disrespectful.
"No Officer, I do not consent to a search." "Men died to make sure that I had the right to say that to you, and I will not abase their memories by tossing their precious gift in the trash!"
. But any band-aid you put on the problem before "green" energy can effectively replace carbon-based energy is a costly waste of time-- it won't solve the problem, it *will* cost us all a buttload of money.
Exactly! Why don't we solve world hunger? That's a problem that we can fix. It's a daily nightmare right now for millions, not some unknown time in the future.
Then while we're doing that we can support research that will, no doubt, eventually produce cost effective sustainable energy sources. Solar is the best, we just need to step up the tech.
Win 7 is crap. Not as crappy as Vista, but still crap. Put the smiley face glass pitcher down.
The sad truth is that XP64, despite its legion of flaws, is the best desktop OS that Microsoft will ever make. Unless Gates returns, totally cleans house, and they come out with a completely clean sheet job. That might be better, but I ain't holding my breath.

Try 16 gauge power cords. They don't hurt! I bought a boxful on eBay for about $40.

Veblen knew about social credit. I think that he would have agreed that social credit would do a better job than capitalism of rewarding inventors.

If any politician seriously pushed this and had the stature to make it happen, I guaranty you he or she would be dead in six months.
