I'm at a loss to understand why ObjectRexx never made it to OS/390 or z/OS machines. I used to use it all the time and couldn't see why OSes where people were less likely to use it got objects and the OS where most of its main use happened didn't.
I'd say it was more to do with his choice of employer. Why did he go to work for the biggest detractor of OSS. Were there no positions available with a more OSS-friendly corp rather than the company that does its very best to undermine it at every turn?
There is nothing in that article that suggests to me that the perp deserves to be sexually assaulted. Perhaps if you'd actually seen the results of sexual assault you wouldn't be so flip about it happening to anyone, even criminal scumbags.
I type at about 80wpm and I don't have a problem with either my grammar or my spelling. Of course I also take a couple of seconds to check what I type too because I'd rather my point was read than have it drowned by English language trolls. You might want to consider that;)
Which as far as I can tell is due to 2 factors: most Europeans start learning a foreign language at a very young age; and there is an enormous amount of English language media out there. I bet your charts are full of US and UK music in English, I bet your TV channels have English language shows with subtitles, and you are currently posting on an English language website. Contrast my experience as a Briton learning French: there are no French songs in the charts, my only opportunity to see French language shows is TV5 without subtitles and there are no French language websites that really grab my interest although I'm still looking around. Learning other languages you have it even more simple given that French, Spanish and Italian all have a lot in common, and Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian likewise. If you could speak a language very different to your own with little to no exposure to the language outside lessons I'd be more impressed, as it is mainland Europeans have it very easy with regards to being multilingual and your arrogance is misplaced.
I am a member of the BarbieMustDie Sect and object most strenuously to having my Justice League Unlimited viewing interrupted by ads for the Magic of Pegasus. If I hear that cheesy song one more time I may have to blow up a Toys R Us.
Working is a transaction between an employer and an employee. Workers are not slaves and should not be treated as such. Just find another job is such a cop out, what if all jobs in a particular field suck, employers should have to conform to standards too, they shouldn't just act as if the employee is a possession of the company.
The Flashblocker extension (which I think should come installed as default) is a great way of stopping problem 2. Don't say that normal users won't know about that - Computeractive, a magazine for PC newbies here in the UK did a big article on FF and all the major extensions not long ago.
That's assuming that the next-gen desktops will be PCs and not just thin clients connecting to an ISP's terminal server. Depends what you want to do with your machine really. I wouldn't fancy trying to play full-screen Doom or whatever but on Citrix or X you can (given the bandwidth) do stuff like editing Word documents and browsing the internet at a pretty decent speed.
You're forgetting that the customers will not be normal people but marketing and business types who do comprehend that gibberish. Let's face it how many non-techies would understand a programmer talking about multiple inheritance, objects, widgets etc?
The same thing is of course possible under Windows: Make your main login a 'Power User', or if you feel that's not safe enough, put it in a group with the same policies as the 'Users' group and slowly increase its permissions until you can work productively.
You can't do that on XP Home that I know of and I'm not paying for XP Pro just to make up for Microsoft's incompetence. I run a LUA but quite a few apps don't work on that and RunAs is a crappy hack that you can't use to force badly-behaved apps run as admin (even if you wanted them to do so).
Does VS.Net generate the business logic for you? Because that's the important part and I've yet to see a tool that would generate code for anything but the plumbing and presentation layer. Or are you saying that you would develop a GUI frontend by trial and error?

The outsourcing of economists' jobs. Suddenly we'll be hearing how it's a terrible thing and should be stopped.

Yes because small companies have that kind of money.
Yes it can but if anything on the file system changes the defrag starts again and I don't know about you but it drives me nuts.
When has the US justice system not required proof for a conviction?

Yep that's why no-one uses X, Citrix or Windows Terminal Server.

You mean sorta like you can with a DVD or a CD already? My question still stands.

Why Universal Media Disc? A disc that only works in one player doesn't sound very universal to me.

Anarchy Online Online? wtf?
I don't like it however my management refuses to stop paying for it.
We're not looking for bug-free, just no idiotic built-in security holes like ActiveX, UPnP, WMF ad nauseum

In what way is it adware?

You're right of course. Before the recording industry no-one was ever moved to write songs or create symphonies.
GB£40 per game (shop price) = US$72.22, so not far off.
