There seems to be a jlut of infantile MS shills out on the net lately, and none of them know how to spell. Either that or MS has finally developed the astro-bot (or would that be turf-bot).
You all are missing the point here. You can jailbreak your phone and install whatever software you want on your phone. But if you brick your phone dont go pissing to Apple about it. Thats what all of this is about, Apple has no responsibility whatsoever to support any of their products that have been tampered with in a way that breaks any licensing agreement they have imposed on their products. Also if you jailbreak an iPhone and sell it to someone else, DO NOT even try to give the impression that you are selling that person an official Apple iPhone.
Apple is pushing a platform (the combo of hardware and software). Their goal is to provide a consistent experience for their users across their offerings.
"Nice Guy", "Asshole" those are all relative terms depending on which side of the layoff you are on.
You are hired by a business to advance that business (either save more money or make more money), not to play feel good with your fellow employees. It is best to be honest and do your job with integrity, in other words do what is best for the business without compromising your ideals. Never cover up or take the blame for others, if your fellow employees are having difficulties then teach them how do to better within the context of the business. If they still have problems it could possibly mean that employee is not cut out for the position that they got or they are not a good fit for the company. It benefits no one to keep someone in a position they are not qualified to do, in fact in most cases things eventually get ugly as everyone gets more and more frustrated. Business is business, you go to work every day to do business not to socialize. That does not mean that you cannot be fair, honest and open with the people you work with though. When the cuts come I guarantee your boss is going to be looking at who in the department helped to promote the business the most, not who was the nicest or who was the biggest asshole.
I was kind of wondering if they were going to photoshop it to make it look like it was painted. Is this the portrait that gets hung in the white house?
I agree he needs some professional help, but I was thinking more along the lines of a professional in a bustier and black stockings rather than a lab coat.
there is always a "socialist/wealth redistribution" component in the most stable society, a redistribution of wealth from the richest to the poorest, and yes, you can see that as a punishment for your success to reward the loss of other
This is pretty much part of the definition of "Society".
Unfortunately there is always a segment of the wealthy in every society that this seems to allude and they think that they are somehow entitled to horde all that the society they live in has generously given them, hence the need for revolution.
The middle man has just shifted from providing the trucks to providing the trunks. Akamai is an example of the new middle man. Anything that can be digitally shipped no longer needs to be physically shipped. Yet we insist on supporting businesses that have no right to be in operation any longer. All I can see us doing is stifling progress. How are these dinosaurs convincing our law makers that the economy would fold if they left the market? Where are the young guns promoting the new business models that are needed to keep us moving forward? For example, why are we bailing out a bunch of automakers who want to keep us tied to oil instead of investing in newer automakers who want to create more energy efficient cars? I actually agreed that Tesla should have gotten a chunk of the money instead of Ford and Chrysler, but only if they promised to create an electric car that everyone could afford.
I definately agree, I also started with Pascal but the school I went to switched to Modula-2 right after it was released (I actually like Moduala-2). There are many good teaching languages (scheme, pascal/modula-2, Ada, lisp and many, many more), just make sure the language uses strictly applied rules, for example strong typing and/or modularization rules.
I am a firm believer that C should not be taught until much later, after the students have had proper coding practices beaten into them. When I was in school we werent even allowed to use C until our senior year. C is a good practical language for getting real work done, but without a proper foundation in coding best practices C/C++ becomes downright scary. C is sort of the fire of programming languages, its very useful if you know what you are doing but extremely dangerous if you dont, Perl falls into this same category.
We basically told the investment companies to regulate themselves? Well duh, no wonder we are in financial trouble, who was the numbnuts who made that decision? Thats like giving someone a key to the bank, firing all the police then trusting that person to not steal from the bank. What an administration he have, oh well we voted them in so I guess we get what we deserve.
is the fact that he assumes everyone else but him is an idiot. He is usually right, but he is also gets annoyingly condescending. He discredits the entire internet application market because he assumes everyone is a moron when it comes to security, that is wrong. Instead of lambasting cloud computing why doesnt he try to educate people on how to use these applications in a secure manner?
Given that, I absolutely agree with him on this topic. The companies sponsoring these apps are not being honest with their customers. They are down playing the security issues and only pushing the convenience aspect of the apps so they can collect marketing data on people. I have to admit many of these apps are convenient but I always use them with one rule in mind, "Never store anything on someone else's server that I wouldnt mind seeing in the local newspaper."
AT&T forbids tethering of all phones, even if the phone itself allows tethering. Unless you specifically purchase a plan that allows tethering. In my area AT&T only sells one plan that allows tethering to Blackberries and is $50/month for 5GB of data. Tethering any other phone can get your contract canceled and AT&T can make you pay for the entire contract.
Having market dominance does not automatically make a company a Monopoly. As is stated several times, google is not stopping anyone else from implementing their own version of ad sense, they just have the best game in town. I also dont see them leveraging their advertising business to promote their web tools and shut down their competition, hell do a search for search engines on google and it doesnt even show up in the list. My guess is someone at MS reported them, the DOJ investigation of today is similar to the IRS audit of a decade ago.
The keyword in your premise is and. Are Mastercard and Visa owned by the same company? No? fair competition. There may be some collusion going on, but definatley not monopoly.

this discussion is already destined to devolve into the same old political flamewar 90% of every other discussion around here ends up in

I cant see it!
that how many different scenarios we prepare for the thing that finally is our undoing is going to be the one thing we haven't thought of.
Given MS's history, I will remain skeptical until I actually see OpenOffice, MySQL, FireFox and Apache available in the repository.
you think conservatives will now realize that negative campaigning gives the other guy more press? Probably not (sigh!)
If I have 3 apples and ubuntu what the hell do I need with you?
But dont forget that the Republicans have been actively gerrymandering for the last 8 years.
Yeah? Well I tried installing Windows CE a few and gave up out of frustation also, whats your point?
I think I will wait until they go plaid.
