If you would RTFA, the guy is a Liberal, i.e. not in Howard's party. Liberals and Socialists are the ones who typically want to control media saying they want to 'protect the children'. cf Clinton, Hillary; Hitler, Adolf; Stalin, Josef.
Maybe it's meant to be some kind of scatological British commentary. I don't know. Although you have to wonder what kind of A[tt]orneys hippies will make.
Lord knows that sort of thing never helped Abbey Hoffman.
First off, I don't believe Saxony is a country anymore.
And secondly, most folks have a relatively short memory. Considering France's repeated losses to Germany which required U.S. military liberation, despite the fact that we had no [tt]imetable for withdrawal or troop reduction plan, or a plan to deal with the resistance that did not want to be liberated, we persisted twice.
And then there's that fiasco with Greenpeace. As A. Whitney Brown put it, "France is the only country to have arguably lost a war to Greenpeace." So, while it's great France may have had success during the age of the longbow, tactics of enemies have changed. Planes and bomb vests are the preferred method of the enemy. Oh, and car fires.
It would have to be a reason like "We have to upgrade to XP otherwise the company will explode killing all executive management". Then he'd probably sign a check.
First off, Editor, it's "Yankee" and not "Yakee". RTFA.
To the First Poster's point, the bigger question is whether or not Longhorn will force massive code rewrites. People got sucked into the hype with Windows 95 and 32-bit, but it killed a lot of small to midsize software builders which is the basis for a lot of anti-MicroSoft sentiment.
Will web-based applications require a rebuild? (The web being the obvious weapons of choice.) Better yet, will Longhorn try to cripple Apache? (I have a dollar that says 'yes' -- for 'security reasons', too.)
And you forgot one reason why managers will go away from WIndows 2K -- SharePoint. I have a Win2K machine, one of the last in my organization, and I can't connect to ANY of our SharePoint work. CIO doesn't care, says he won't be supporting Win2K in a few more months. Lucky me, I get one of the laptops of my friends who just got fired in the recent RIF. Yipee.
You could almost use this to make the argument that only by compiling your OS for your given architecture will you get the performance best suited to your hardware.
(This coming from someone smug enough to have installed Gentoo.)
But seriously, it's tough enough to compile a kernel, say, for a given hardware architecture (not impossible, obviously, just not something one does every day.) Now that there is Windows XP and Windows xp64 you wonder if there won't be additional hardware/architecture specific distros from Windows.
One of the advantages Mac OS X has is that Apple knows what hardware they're building for while MS is building windows for all comers.
I don't know why everyone's getting wrapped up in the XML and not using JSON instead. I guess AJAJ doesn't sound cool enough. Personally, I could do with less XML (i.e. none.)
How about a unified source for packages (gentoo is about the best in this regard). How about a single place for branching into the various support areas? How about automated updates (optionally, natch.)
How about more simple distros like VectorLinux which do a few things well? Crap, I would've stuck with it if I could have gotten Cinelerra working without chasing down every two bit fucking package on the net and then have to compile it myself. Video/Audio/Sync/Office Suite/Email/Screen Saver/Pictures -- don't make users think or 'help them' with SysV Init options on the System menu. Users shouldn't even have to KNOW that there's an/etc directory. (Face it, most of them don't know there are System or System32 directories.)
Sure, give us (me) the option to get under the hood and change the oil, but I don't want to have to replace the fucking crankshaft every time I do it. Oil changers, lads. Think of the oil changers. And the chicks who can't change oil and want it done automatically for them... *under 14 crowd giggles nervously*
Finally, make a distro your mom or grandmother could use EVEN IF YOU WEREN'T LIVING IN THEIR BASEMENT. In short, make OS X.
Finally, CrossOver Office Professional has the ability to create an RPM package out of a bottle. This service allows you to create a bottle on one system, package it up, reinstall it on many additional machines, or simply upload it to the server holding your RPMs thus automating the installation of the Windows applications. This is by far the easiest way to deploy a set of Windows applications on a large network.
See the second definition I cited where it mentions agents and spiders, hardly mechanical, but termed robots none the less. That's the beauty of a rich language like English...more than one meaning for a word in certain contexts.
"A program that runs automatically without human intervention. Typically, a robot is endowed with some artificial intelligence so that it can react to different situations it may encounter. Two common types of robots are agents and spiders."
I don't see the basis for your question about whether it should be a 'robot' vs. a 'computer' when it clearly is the same thing? Or are you being facetious? It's late. I'm tired. Good one. Ha-ha.
And sometimes LAMP applications don't run PHP, BFD. Who are you, the acronym nazi? Why are you getting so bunged up? You knew what they were talking about, right? Right?
FWIW, all acronyms, by definition, are 'marketing' terms, mainly for mnemonic purposes. Are you the kind of guy who would rather be right than friends?
What are you talking about? If there's no XML, it's just browser scripting (the 'A' stands for asynchronous as in an asynchronous web service, aka, XMLHttpRequest.) You're just talking about JavaScript.
Look a little closer at Sarissa and prototype and see what's under the hood...surely some XML will pop up.
You said:
"...oh, I see, its just some stupid acronaming.
This is the sort of thing that I despise. I wish I could hit that guy over the head with a brick."
So now do I get to hit _you_ over the head with a brick?
The article may be right about the 100-song limitation being Apple's fault, but all the other design flaws of the Rokr...
Makes me wonder why they didn't slap a nano on the back of a razr. I mean, 2 Gig nano($150) + Razr ($200) = $350. I understand that it's a little more involed, but shit...slap a calender with email and you got a nice little product. Even if you have to download via the interweb and FireWire them over.
It's gone. Was just looking for the free version last night after McAfee started getting flaky (again.)
But if I'm going to pay cabbage, at least AVG seems to work quickly and cleanly. More than I can say for McAfee's bloatware of Symantec's worthless offering.

So, why does it need to be a robot exactly? Why wouldn't it just be a comptuer with some cameras and microphones?
What, pray tell, is the difference?

Right. It's the company that operates in a heavily-regulated industry's fault.
What if there were, I don't know, TWO companies? What then?
