Instead of putting all those resources into creating a new OS, and working with hardware, etc, they could just bring Office to everything else. They don't have to compete with Apple and Google, and no matter which of them wins, MS wins.
Bingo. If they ported Word and Excel to the iPad or even better got docs.com to work with it, they would preserve their Office domination. As it is, I can get Pages for $20 and save things to iWork (1 Gig free!)
Instead of going back and trying to fix their decision to abandon ARM processors, they should focus on being where folks need them to be.
You've mistaken me for an Obama disciple. I don't support right wing corporate tools.
Obama is a Left Wing corporate tool. Remember, there were rich people in the USSR, it's just that the peasant couldn't buy bread or blue jeans. They're trying to do away with the problem in America.
Actually, as oil prices increase, it'll eventually be cheaper to manufacture low margin goods here than to do it overseas and pay for shipping.
Talked to a guy on a plane who has a Senior Exec for a manufacturing firm. He said that even with the high price of oil (it was much higher during this flight last year) it was still cheaper to build a plant with a 10-15 year lifecycle and ship everything back than to retrofit an existing plant in the US.
It's going to take higher oil prices, plus significant increase in the renmibi (or yuan) and huge salary increases for it to even out - and you still won't have the increased costs of environmental legislation or the CODB for manufacturing in the tort-happy US.
Pack a lunch. We won't be making much of significance for a while on these shores - especially if the Employee Free Choice or 'Card Check' legislation gets passed. In fact what little offshore company manufacturing done in the South will likely go even further south.
Armitage worked for Colin Powell. He was not part of the 'Bush' team. He was a career diplomat who worked with both parties which is why nobody wanted him to go down. Bottom line: he leaked the name and if anyone should go to jail, it's him. Period.
But the NY Times doesn't want that. They like Colin Powell.
her 'cover' was as the wife of a diplomat, so by outing her, Cheney and the rest of them, now confirmed that every single wife or husband (child, cousin, etc) of a diplomatic officer could be a CIA spy But Cheney didn't out her. Nor did Libby. Armitage did. Get that into your thick skull.
I don't understand the Reagan nostalgia one bit. He introduced idiotic SDI program (Starwars), he renewed the cold war (though was fortunate enough to last until its inevitable decline, and thus take credit), he introduced the terrible "trickle down" motivation to focus everything on the rich and deprive the other 70% of the population of any benefits, he decided running government based on religion was a good idea (while his wife gave him astrological advice), and he started the modern idea of "make less spend more" rebranded as "conservationism" (viz "quit your decent job, get one at Taco Bell, and by a Mercedes Benz"). He continued to destabilize most of the world via the CIA, especially Latin America because he personally didn't agree with their popular democratic governments (for the sake of democracy mind, i.e. American interests). He funded most of the people who are now our "greatest enemies", in his wars against Russia.
You should actually crack a history book instead of getting your "news" from the Op-Ed pages of the New York Times. You sound like a crank or a hair stylist - not sure which. And you should throw in an economics class for good measure.
Doesn't the Army provide you with help in this department? I cannot imagine they do not have anyone on Dells side of the ocean that can help you deal with issues like this. He said he's in Iraq...he's already on Dell's side of the ocean.
The online reading sucks. It just doesn't flow, it's hard to keep your place, you can't mark it up, or stick a post-it somewhere relevant, it's just not as flexible as books are.
Then you obviously don't have a Kindle. You can bookmark pages and post notes throughout. Keyboard kind of sucks, but so it goes. Don't know what you're reading on that you can't bookmark or take notes.
You really don't understand market economies. There are a lot of great ideas that never reach the market. It isn't enough to have a 'good idea'. Betamax was a 'good idea'. How was their market share?
I honestly want to shoot the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Jay Rockefeller (D-WV).
So are you a Second Amendment proponent? Remember, they didn't put that in there about hunting. It was about killing politicians. If everybody's armed, nobody can oppress.
I never said Christians and other religions didn't censor stuff too. Trust me, all religions are going to censor stuff they don't like. Joe Liebermann is Jewish.
I have to say that I don't believe anyone can really emulate Adams' particular style of writing
Heck, I don't even think Adams' could emulate his own style. SLATFATF is a MUCH different book than the first three and, while nice and humorous at times, it lacked a certain tautness from the earlier stuff. Not complaining. Good book. Just different. Anyone trying to do anything along these lines would elicit groans whenever they were funny. It would not be an experience I would seek out.

oregon has no sales tax.
But Texas has jobs.
Right? I can't believe some store owners want to have a say in what they sell.
Isn't this America?!?!?!?!
What are you basing this theory on?
I so wish I had mod points.

It was very cool to be in the control room when the first collision took place =)
I have to say, you kept the coffee fresh, even though you forgot to add sweetener to mine.
The incessant use of blockquotes makes this story unreasonable.

You need the firesuit mod for that perk.

As if they'd never recoup that in the copious amount of free adverts they've already received?
Well it is the Blackberry and not the Whiteberry.
and put in a strong CFO/COO to manage the business.
Like Peter Oppenheimer and Tim Cook?
Make a typo entering your monitor's scan rate? Too bad. Try again from the beginning, or edit the file with vi.
After procuring a new monitor, natch.

Thanks. But nobody answered the first question.
And like it or not, but those telephone poles weren't put up by the phone company on their dime.
How would folks upload on this 'third pipe'?
Wouldn't this require repeaters? Who's going to pay for this?
Oh, that's right, I am. The taxpayer.

They may just like sun on their backs and not in their eyes.
Not everything requires 'scientific' conjecture (which is, I think, your point.)
