And if they're found to be unreliable,/. should hunt down their families and set fires to their homes. Oh wait, that's what my bank would do to people that steal my credit card.
From what I learned in psych class, I can tell you that it's nearly imposible to have an objective taste test. This is because people are more likely to say that they prefer the first one you give them. So, you say, let them choose. Well, it turns out that if you give someone the choice, they will most likely choose the one on the side of their dominant hand: usually the right.
I thus never trust advertising that relies on taste tests.
Also, that stupid girl must have been the worst marketing decision Pepsi ever made, the one with Albert Einstein is one I find especially offensive.
Finding an original Greek text (or Greek language copy) is a GREAT find for historians because it will allow us to examine the writings without worrying about misinterpretations and other unintentional distortions.
So, what you're saying is that if dev tool A is more expensive than dev tool B, then dev tool B is "cheap"? Even if I can get dev tools C, D, and E for a third of the cost?
No, I did not see his post on the cost of MS vs. Oracle. You made no link to the posting in question and there was no way for me to know that what you meant to say was: "When MS makes a powerful, easy to use dev tool available to a guy like John Murdoch cheap[er than if he got it from Oracle]...".
My Operating Systems (Concepts) professor was a Microsoft fanatic. (If your're a Rhode Islander who went to CCRI, you know who I mean). This guy wasn't just someone who hadn't used anyhting else. He had been instructing in computing and OS's since the days of core memory. He knew Unix/Unix-based OS's Mainframe OS's, in addition to Microsoft products. He believed MS was a G_D-send and was talking about "Next Generation Windows Systems" last fall, before any official announcement had been made (of course, he wasn't using those words).
You're right, even if you were moderated down for flamebait. But, why doesn't MS just stay out of the Java development entirely? The purpose of Java is platform interoperability, not platform optimization. When MS created J++'s extensions to Java, they went away from the purpose of Java.
Media Enforcer works like this: A user can type in a performer's name and the product will return the names of users who are illegally offering their music to the public.
That must be some awesome AI running MediaEnforcer if it can tell whether or not a song is being distributed illegaly.
I can tell you that the problem is where and how automation is being implemented within government. I work in Military Pay/Travel Pay office at an Air Force Base. A lot of the things that we do could be done over the internet, especially now that Congress has passed the "digital signature" legislation.
For example: part of my job is processing the forms for when a military member takes leave. I get a form with the member's SSAN, name, organization, and the days the member took leave. The form has three parts: One that I type into the computer, one the member keeps, and one held onto by the member until s/he returns to work. If the member has to make a correction to when the leave was taken, s/he indicates this on the form and sends it to me.
This whole process could be placed on a Web Page that could almost entirely remove the leave forms from my job.
But this is not where the Internet is being used by the DoD. Instead we get so-called "Computer Based Training", done in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. Usually, we end up having to go to a standard training session in addition to the CBT.
Where we do see appropriate moves toward using the internet, it's usually done in manner that is not fully thought out.
It's Brodcast, but apparently the name DSSAgent is what shows up as the name of the program that's running. Wath out for either.

This morning someone asked him how he thinks the court decision is going to affect his personal image. He told her that splitting MS in two is going to kill the computer industry.
You're right; every time I hear him speak, I tell my father, "It sounds like he's whining".
The "rogue nation" argument requires shifting public opinion against the nation in question.
The worst opinion anyone in the states is going to have about Sealand is probably mild amusement. Sure the US can point out the fake passports used by mafias and drug dealers; but hey, they use fake US passports, too. There has been no human rights violations or anything like that. The place isn't Communist. No one in the US is going to have a beef with this country except for the RIAA, MPAA, and Bob Dylan.
I'd be interested in seeing Sealand try to join the UN.
The article said that the passport and plates were in the possession of the guy who owned the boat that Versacci's killer lived on. The passport and plates were probably forged.
Contact Sealand if you want to visit, I'm sure they have setup procedures for getting a visa or whatever by now.

Uh... "cheaply"?

BTW, is .asp a M$ only extension? Their site is the only one that I have seen with it.
