I always wondered where they got some of the crazy idea's for Soap Opera's, I don't wonder anymore. I really feel sorry for poor Hans, assuming he is innocent. This is a nightmare of unimaginable proportions. Even if he "wins", he will probably be bankrupt from paying the attorneys.
that if I steal one copy of Windows, and make 1,000,000 copies of it, that I am only liable for the one copy? After all, since Microsoft only produced one copy. I am only depriving them of the use of one copy. The lawyers are going to have a field day with this decision.
that what should be the a simple implementation in modern technology is an unmitigated train wreck? Is there a single current voting machine that is considered reliable? Now for the scary thought, the people we trust to chosse are voting machines are making decisions about far more complex issues on a daily basis. I hate to say it, but we're doomed.
I own well over 1,000 pieces of vinyl, and many of them sound better than the CD. This isn't because vinyl sounds better, but because either the master was damaged or poorly remastered for CD. It is amazing how poorly mastered some CD's are. Digital recording does not compensate for an idiot behind the sound board, in fact it makes it much worse.
She also showed her boobies during prime-time network television, at least in some markets, in 1973. See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167415/ I never imagined that would be the first, and last time, it was done on broadcast TV.
I can't argue that Windows is incredibly complex, but what value is added for all of its complexity? As best as I can tell, Microsoft is using the US Government as a template for software design.
The forces induced in these magnets during a quench is obscene. Given the size of the LHC, I would guess that these are the largest such magnets ever fabricated. When pushing the envelope so hard, failures are going to happen. It amazes me that the public's quality expectations are so high for such work. If Windows was built to the same standards, it would have uptimes measured in centuries.
What happens if a manufacturer sells devices to the public, and all the complementary ( ie. opposite spin ) devices to the government? The spooks will really have a windfall then.
I guess I must be hallucinating when I look at the Siemens DSL modem I have, and then the Alcatel DSL equipment that fills the remote terminal down the street. I'll also have to ignore the Nokia cell phone. There is a lot of tech that comes out of Europe, and much of it is better than the American tech it is competing with.
There is a new drug, Tysabri, which appears to stop the progress of the disease a majority of the time, and in some cases partially reverse the damage. Take this with a grain of salt, but there have been stories of people walking who had been wheel chair bound for years. There were some issues with Tysabri, but it appears they were due to interactions with another drug. So far, when used alone, it appears to be working remarkably well. In addition, there are a number of drugs, currently in the pipeline, which may provide more ways to stop the disease. Finally, there is some light at the end of the tunnel for this terrible disease.
Development of treatment for diseases such as this are on the horizon. Already, enormous progress is being made in the treatment of many related diseases using monoclonal antibodies. I can only hope that this disease is one of them. As it is, Multiple Sclerosis is finally being treated with remarkable success, Tysabri. Alzheimer's may soon follow. With enough research, Huntington's may be next.
We support [name distro here], everyone else is on their own. That would be an enormous boost to the named distro, and would cover Dell. Just one thing, 15 years ago, Dell supported Unix System VR4 on their machines. Linux will be much easier.
and now the Wasabi Incident. After shorting out a critical relay, the ISS plunges to earth, hits Three Mile Island, and covers the entire east coast in a cloud of radioactive debris. Can Jimmy Carter save us now?
to write the support scripts. Not until they can blame 99% of the problems on the customer will they be prepared to offer support for it. All they excuses they've collected for Windows will be of little use for them, they'll have to start from scratch.
Actually, if it wasn't for MCI and Carterphone, you would be paying 10 times what you do now for long distance, and the Internet, as we know it wouldn't exist. We would all be happily "surfing" the net at 128Kbps paying by the minute over ISDN.
We keep coming up on this question since the divestiture of AT&T by Judge Green in 1984. The problem with current carriers is that they want to control the transport, and the value that can be added. This really is the same debate as breaking the stranglehold on the local loop. He who controls the last mile wins!
On an H1B, it is illegal for you to form a business that you are an active investor in. This is part of the "contract" you enter into to become an H1B. However, if you were an illegal alien, it would be just fine. For a prime example of this, check into the history of Philippe Kahn, founder of Borland Software Corporation, creators of Turbo Pascal.
Steve: We need to have Vista committed to security. Bill: You mean make all our security programmers wear straight-jackets and prescribed large doses of anti-psychotic drugs. Steve: I guess so. Bill: OK, get right on it.

Utah is one of the places used to simulate Mars landings.
It got Bill Gates laid, and a wife. That, alone, was worth the cost of development.

Don't have successful tech companies???

Same thing here in States.

Version 1 of Postgres was released in 1989. It later evolved into Postgres95 and then PostgreSQL. And it keeps getting better every year!

but it is connected to the sewage control system. Now we know the mysterious source of ice falling from the skies lately. Could it be?
