On this topic, here is some bad practices in HR that needs to end: 1. Hiring based on stereotypes is NOT a good idea. 2. The purpose of HR should not be to minimize legal liability. 3. The illusion that celebrities are perfect needs to end. 4. Filtering people based on health problems to minimize health insurance costs is not a good idea. 5. Not hiring people based on debt creates a paradox for those who have to pay it off. And as a side note, companies with seriously broken HR often have other problems too.
Intel has just launched Oak Trail, which is the name for the combination of Atom Z600 and SM35 PCH. In particular, the SM35 PCH provides compatibility with the main IBM PC compatible x86 platform with all the legacy, so it can run any standard x86 OS, but it is still low-power ("Put together, Oak Trail's Atom Z620 processor and SM35 Express hub have a thermal envelope of just 3.75W."): http://techreport.com/discussions.x/20753
False, PE has never supported fat binaries. Instead, they encouraged separate directories for each arch. AutoRun has also supported separate sections for each arch.
FYI, Nehalem-EX and Westmere-EP was released around the same time, March 2010 or so. For comparison, Nehalem-EP was released May 2009. Lynnfield was released September 2009 or so. The 45nm Clarkdale was released January 2010. The desktop Sandy Bridge was released January 2011. And now we finally have Westmere-EX.
It isn't just <layer>. It began when then-Mosaic Netscape introduced <center> and <font> and some new attributes when they released 0.9 in October 1994. By 1995 Netscape had gained a monopoly, and other browsers (including early MSIE) had to copy their tags. This monopoly effectively killed HTML+/HTML 3.0 which browsers other than Mosaic/Netscape that existed in 1994 (like Viola and Arena) already supported. W3C ended up creating 3.2 to standardize some of the new Netscape/Microsoft tags after the failure. Eventually with Gecko they changed their ways but that took years to be stable enough while MS was making new releases every year or so.
Well, I think NT was the real pig at the time. But yea, I know about OS/2 for Windows was created to make OS/2 cheaper for those who already have a Windows license.
I mean, they pretty much just bought Nokia without even paying for them
Actually when they did finally make the deal it was reported that they did pay them. And it is not new. MS did something similar to Corel in 1999 or so.
Yes the IE6 monopoly was bad for the web, but people forget that the Netscape monopoly from 1995 or so was bad too. It for example killed HTML 3.0 (which existed even before Netscape as HTML+), and delayed CSS adoption for years (the first draft of CSS dates back to around the time Netscape 0.9 was released) in favor of tags like <FONT> and <CENTER>.
Yep, I think HP is the main customer for Itanium nowadays. Windows is going to drop support after Server 2008 R2 (support was limited in Server 2008 to certain parts). Red Hat dropped support for it with RHEL6.
BTW, on the topic of defensive patents, look up what happened to Amazon's 1-click patents on Slashdot. I read that MS's patents filed before 1996 or so was intended to be defensive too, but one of them was invoked in the B&N lawsuits.
Slashdot Mirror
Anyone remember Netscape presentational HTML extensions, such as and , which became HTML 3.2? Anyone remember table-based layouts?
But it should not be the primary purpose of HR.

Migrating non-.Net corporate applications from 32XP to 32Win 7 is very difficult.
No it is not. There are some issues but it is not that difficult.

Yea, why not call it the Xeon 7600?
Yea, DMCA takedown notices in the US do the same thing.
For example, while Google did it once, Facebook tricked users into sharing more data than they expected several times!
I already asked on Quora about it:
http://www.quora.com/What-would-Netscape-5-0-Mariner-be-like-if-it-was-actually-finished-and-released
And I forgot to say MS continued to add their own extensions to particularly CSS, all while not fixing their non-compliance of CSS1 until IE6.

And don't forget the Gecko rewrite which took Netscape years to become usable and in the meantime they were stuck on 4.x.

AFAIK a judge has already rejected the Google Books settlement over that.
Yes, Mosaic/Netscape did not gain a monopoly using any illegal way. It don't change the fact that it was still bad for the web though.
It did exist in HTML 3.0 drafts, and while it was not supported in Netscape 0.9. Netscape soon afterwards implemented it.

Of course, it would be better to say "I will report it and we may investigate why it happened.", which is just as short.
But didn't, because you posted as AC.
(why Safari patches require a reboot is beyond me, but that is Apple for you.)
Same reason why IE upgrades on Windows used to require a reboot.
