That journal did not say anything about their reason for leaving but you are definitely right on the point about their audacity to list "openness" on their site after what they did no matter what the cause.
Microsoft did it again? Or at least they are
trying.
They tarnished the generally positive word of
windows to mean chances of getting your machined
hanged.
Now, they are trying to do the same to the practice
of eXtreme Programming (XP). Programs written
with strict adherence to XP should be compact
and powerful, not bloated and slow.
They must have taken the concept of paired
programming to the extreme. With all the
young boys and girls at Redmond fighting for
the keyboard, what a shame to paired programming.
Double the time waster, double the bloat!
I guess it is not as simple as that. Yes, we
do contribute our tax money towards it. But if
it is open sourced, don't you think we are
throwing hard earned technology to enemy
spies for nothing too?
We have to be more cautious now.
Yes, this intiative will bring us to a new
level in terms of standard.
Yet, we also open up possibly gaping security
holes if we are not ever vigilant.
This might be the chance to prove Linux can do
it even as an increasingly commercially viable
platform.
Absolutely right on the point!
Army perform their best in war mode but they
will just end up being nuts if the war mode is
turned on too long (e.g. Vietnam war etc.)
So, unless you are looking forward to pay
a ton of cash to service your software engineers'
visits to the shrink... war mode should be like
DefCon 5... used only when it really calls for it.
When the "troopers" come home victorious, the
management has better give out "medals" and maybe
even a "heroes' welcome".

I am not sure if this is off topic. I think the ultimate blockade that keeps the management from using any Open Source thing has got to do with legal responsibilities. Who will be responsible if your software fails and business loses money? You? Mandrake? Management? I guess they just find it much easier to point at Bill and let everything go on. I am not sure if there is a way to get around litigation but if the management or at least the manager in charge will be given freedom by the upper level management to fiddle around Open Source. In exchange, obviously is cheaper solutions, quicker turn around time. Of course, then I am assuming there are really bright managers who are able to determine if a particular Open Source solution or platform is at all secure, and trusted. My 2 cents.
I have seen a lot of arguments about Open Source. I am convinced that it is a good thing. I am, myself, enjoying a whole lot from the Open Source movement. However, to do it behind the bosses back... isn't that somewhat against ethics too? My 2 cents.

I don't think any broadband stuff can actually work to the point it will be economically viable even with massive advertisements until the stuff for multicast is finally sorted out. Having massive numbers of TCP or RTP is just not scalable at all.

I don't have mod points to mod you up but :-)
I have to say that you mentioned very good
points!
It sounded as if they did it for the excitement (or drama) of it ;P

How many recursion before we run out of memory and CPU cycles?

Hey fellow sloppy programmers,
You have now been taken off the list of soon-to-be-fired list.
Rejoice!
Who knows, maybe soon you can even get away with having an infinite loop in your code and not having problem!

Of course it is adhering to W3C's standard.
If it is not then who? It is a product from
W3C isn't it?
Yes, I do agree it is a lot less hyped up
but there is a reason for that.
It is not for the regular public.
It is mainly for developers.

i am so happy now...
we can expect even clearer jpegs from smut sites now?
do we get free memory like we did with the faulty motherboard like last time?
i guess soon we will not be able to log onto microsoft and friends' site using netscape hehehe... sorry stupid joke (not even funny)
is this just an elaborate training for their satellite guys?

Maybe they can even save time and paper space by just asking all Outlook user to switch to something without MS!
Performance. What else can beat that "sales" pitch? Long live the penguins!
