The way it works is you search for rockies. You may not have photos keyworded as 'rockies', but perhaps you have an email which maybe talks about the rockies or maybe even you put it in your calendar (as I do with my trips). A search for the rockies has a time precedence as evidenced from your calendar information (and emails), so pictures dated around that timeframe may be returned with the term rockies. It's the pulling of the information all together in one data store which is the more innovative thing. Outlook doesn't know about photos - photos do not know about outlook, but they both help drive better searches. That's just an example and is fully extensible for any application to take advantage of the abilities for WinFS.
To be fair, advertising means more than commercials. For one, you have NO idea what all encompasses a company's advertisign budget. It could very well mean more focus groups / customer visits to understand the customer's needs (aren't commercials supposed to tailor to the needs / wants of a customer?).
Increasing an advertising budget could mean more commercials, and I'm sure more will come -- but it can also mean spending more to learn and react to what the customer wants.
I work on my mother's website, she's a realtor in Texas. Their MLS data is HORRIBLE! I think they said back in October that websites can actually display Texas MLS data, but our resource is a DBase one table file with 400+ fields from her MLS Windows application she uses. If you look at all of the independent sites in texas that are showing the data, you will see similarities, everything is caps, etc. All of the features and stuff are crammed in a big long text field with no way to delimit cleanly. I am currently working on moving it to a nice database to do the searching like realtor.com (but with working ft, this is totally a side project). I have no idea if working with MLS data is as much of a pain in other states or not. Once we get it out of the one table format (using a similar sql table with 100 or so of the 400 tables for interim), it will be much easier to work with. I've heard that MLS data is different state to state. Someone mentioned XML, that would be fabulous! However, they are not quite there yet.
I graduated this past year with both degrees, Computer Science and CIS - And wow, they are quite a bit different.
CS - More technical. For people who like programming, or computer consulting. Really, for people who KNOW computer software and want to get their hands dirty. More math and a LOT more computer science classes.
CIS - Much less technical. This major was like a walk in the park compared to CS. You have all the business classes for one, so I guess you are more well-rounded. But where I graduated, there was like 1 CS class (as opposed to like 12 cs classes with the CS major), and 3 or so CIS classes, which were very easy after you've been through CS - because you are taking the classes with business students, many have never programmed. The teachers in my CIS programs were horrible (with exceptions). Whereas the CS had Professors left and right. However, even with all the bashing of CIS, it was a useful major because it gave more hands on of current technology (MS at the school i was at), ASP, frontpage, access. Not too many things I'd use in full production, but useful to get feet wet. Whereas CS was more theory and coding C/C++ on a linux server.
Both majors pay well however, I could not tell a bit difference. But, if you want to have some fun, take an easy major and do not intend on doing hard programming in college, go for MIS. If you really do want to program, and want to learn data structures and all the fun CS stuff, go to CS.
I used to love that game! I used to use a terminal program, {COMMO} which I setup a macro to give me like 100% precision in that game. I had to tweak it a bit with each new level (too fast!)... but it was a really fun game!

This sounds like it's taking some ideas of.NET to me as well..NET is a move to one runtime (whether it is a jvm or not) where any language can be used. I heard like about 25 or so languages can be used with.NET and which all give about the same results.
Perl is attempting to take this 'many languages' through 'one compile' method as well. And being able to import pieces of other languages into your program is very.NET because that is what you can do with it. You can import a c# class into any other working project, or even a perl module (through the.net perl)..NET is more than you think.

My wife plays the MS games on their Zone site. She installed one called Zuma, and I noticed in the sounds folder are about 38 .ogg sound effect files.

I'd say that you should email back claiming that those messages are an integral piece of Slashdot and to remove them would mean a great deal of work.
