Duh, just read the article. I guess it only uses Flash for non-Internet Explorer browsers. They should save some space and just use Flash for everything.
I don't have an "invitation" yet for Soapbox, but it looks like they are using Macromedia Flash Player as their video output format (from the intro video). It even has the MAC OSX "please wait" symbol while the video is loading... I was surprised why it doesn't require Windows Media Player.
The Black Adder! It's depressing that I remember more history from The Black Adder than years of public education in the UK. One of the best comedy series ever!
Here here! The more rows the merrier. I had to learn SAS to do stuff on datasets larger than 65k or so (ok 65536). SAS is powerful, but so ugly and cumbersome (syntax wise and presentation wise). Usually you have to PROC EXPORT the results into Excel to make it pretty anyway - why not do everything in Excel! Now us VBA'ers can challenge the SAS programmers in doing analysis on datasets below 1 million lines. VBA/Excel is so much faster (and more presentational) than SAS in getting to the final product.
Talk about a strategy. Read this analogy from the CRN interview: "... Raymond says the open-source community is not willing to sit idly by while SCO asserts proprietary control, and the right to collect license fees, over the entirety of Linux. What do you say to that? Why doesn't SCO just leave Linux customers, partners and developers alone and out of its dispute with IBM?
McBride: That's like if someone comes into your house while you're sleeping, takes your jewels, and as you start chasing them down [to retrieve your property], and now they want to say you're the one doing the bad thing. I have to read [Eric Raymond's letter] and am meeting with [The Linux Show's] Jeff Gerhardt on it later. "
It's more like the "thief" sells copies of the jewels to you. SCO sues the thief and comes after you demanding a royalty fee. You even try to return the jewels, but SCO doesn't want it back and it won't tell you which jewels are theirs. Just pay up!
It's sad, SCO's strategy is to settle the suit for hundreds of millions AND collect a royalty fee for every copy of Linux. I hope IBM doesn't settle just to shut them up.

They better not discontinue Google Voice and Apps (the free version)! Man I just ported my number and domain over. Sigh.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read that headline...
If Harvard said so, it must be true. The educator of America's elite cannot be wrong. Only the stupid ones, like Skilling, get caught.

They figure why bother? Best of both worlds with Bootcamp/Parallels.
We now have to hope for Apple to create a Tivo replacement.

Excel 2003 only supports 65536 rows (2^16) and 256 (2^8) columns...
Shhhh don't give them ideas. They'll just compile Samba and call it SCOmba. Then they'll sue claiming a line by line copy.
