I thought most people didn't like the command line, which is why Windows is so popular.
No, people don't like the CLI as their primary UI. The same goes for Quake. I love the CLI for certain things (especially scripting, in both scenarios), but that doesn't mean I don't want to code in an IDE, or play games where I have to type/menu to get to the main menu:-).
That's like saying that sa student of Computer Science is a decent programmer. If you've worked in IT within the last 10 years, you'll no that's rarely the case. Oh, the irony:P.
If this is the case, then Vicks has prior art due to their NyQuil and DayQuil brands. Remember those "LiquiCaps" commercials? The first time I saw Aqua I was sure they got the 3D models from Vicks' art department and just colorized them.:P
A web ad is the price of viewing the content on that site. If the price is too high (read: annoying popup superflash ad), don't view the content (because it's not worth it). Cirvumventing the payment system (the ads) is no different then hacking a$10/month "premium content" account of an online e-mag. It's stealing.
Paying them to become a premium member to make the annoyances go away is rewarding them for bad behavior.
I fail to understand how is a legitimate revenue model bad behavior? And claiming that "they're annoying" doesn't count. Essentially, viewing the ad is the cost of viewing the content. If the price is too high, don't buy it.
Yes, I've seen big Solaris boxes and Irix boxes crash. Not the hardware - the SOFTWARE. Now you can tell me it's less likely, but it's still reasonably possible. Once you architect failover on a system level your number of boxes goes up dramatically.
I would get fired for architecting so many single points of failure. Your mail server also dosn't do all the happy groupware crap that Exchange does(ya, I don't care about those features either but the point is Exchange is doing a heck of a lot more then sendmail).
The real problem here is that you're doing to much and don't have time. Obviously you shouldn't even have to worry about patching - that't the admins under you job. If they're incompetent, well, then the argument holds!

The market is always right. If AMD has to close plants and lay-off employees, that means there aren't enough people buying AMD right now. This is what's so great about capitalism.
Very interesting. I posted the error because I was doing a test. Would everyone complain about JDBC or go off on some other nonfactual zealotry, or will they defend Sun. Now let's contrast this to a similar situation with MS:-).
Well, it looks like my plea for Mac users to "stop the arrogance" hasn't been heard. Mac users rely so much on the Apple and Command keys in combination with their mouse that it effectively creates a second and third button (but less ergonomic). Especially when using apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. There's a reason why my company orders multibutton mice with each of our G4's.
Your points are well spoken. I could go on but we're getting way off topic. Thank you for the discussion. It's refreshing to have a logical discussion instead of extremist or political zealotry. God bless;).
Predicitable - lol. I got modded insightful by one, as obviously I'm stating my personal experience (which is perfectly valid), and then some MAC zealot mods this as flamebait. How is an opinion relating to personal experience flambait?
Go to bankruptcy court? Please. This wouldn't be an issue if it was so easy. Yes, theivery is wrong, but don't act like there's not a valid reason for this discussion. There's NO SYSTEM IN PLACE in the American legal system to ensure that employees get paid. PERIOD. I've been through it, hundreds of others have, no matter what anyone says, THE LAW IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE in this manner. (Sorry for the caps but I'm a little passionate about this subject).
America's laws not protecting the employers. It's time for a wakeup call. Companies biggest assests are their human resources. Protecting those human resources IS in the best interest of corporate america (and Americans in general). Protecting a corporation is generally short sighted, as it's usually at the cost of the people who make that corporation run.
That's because the Canadians have a more human centered vs. corporate centered approach. I was laid off without a pay (one months wages), and the company was STILL IN OPERATION for at least 3 months before filing bankruptcy. The government (Department of Labor, BBB, etc.) couldn't do ANYTHING to get me (or 20-30 other people) their money. We hired PRIVATE attorneys, and THEY couldn't do it either. I know that there was cash, because I saw the transactions from their e-commerce system. I didn't steal anything, because that's wrong, but in a way I understand because America pretty much give you the proverbial smack down unless you are a corporation. To me, this is a violation of human rights. Apparently, our country isn't educated enough to figure this out (not to mention the whole public health care issue). Americans, don't tell me to "move to Canada", I'm here to fight for this country and make it better. Let's learn from our northern neighbors.
You are absolutly right. They go hand in hand, but the corporation must step up to the plate first. The've got an order of magnatude more power (money, etc.), so loosing you is has a minimal impact compared to you loosing your job. If corporations stepped up to the plate in line with Katz's suggestions, employers would definatly need to increase their loyalty. This is a Good Thing, as increased loyalty == increased productivity.
Oh, and I absolutly LOVE the term Corporate Republic. This is such an accurate assesment of America.
I have the MS Intellimouse with 5 buttons and a scroll wheel. I can tell you that it makes a significant difference compared to a simple two button mouse. It's a realy issue, stop the arrogance, and fix the platform.
They both come down to the expectation that the societal understanding of good and evil will change over time.
I pretty much agree with this. However I still think there is a fundamental difference between our viewpoints. First, relativism states, "If it's good for you, go ahead". I do not agree with this. I believe in absolute truth, but I have to be VERY SURE about something before I'm absolutly sure it's evil (whereas "absolutists" seem to know it all). For example, I believe that the slavary conducted by America against the Blacks was wrong (absoluty), and wasn't right at the time, and wasn't right even though the "majority" or "society" believed it was right. So, the issue now, is we need some basis for exploring and finding these truths. I believe this comes from the Bible. The danger in this comes when people believe that they have "absolutly" translated the "absolute truth" from the Bible. For example, slavery was justified by using a lot of scripture. I can tell you that this is all gross misinterpretaion. So, even if we accept the Bible as our foundation for all moral truth (and I do), we still have the issue of interpretation, which is why I can't be an absolutist, per se. Based on my theology, the only legitimate absolutist is God.
No offense, but the DMCA, SSSCA, Anti Terrorist Act of 2001, Dmitry, etc. are way more important then lobbying for Open Source. I don't care what software the government uses, I just care about what laws are taking our freedoms away.
Yes, but for the most part Apache is easier to administer then IIS. (DISCLAIMER: I'm pro IIS for a lot of projects, I just like Apache's httpd.conf better than the ADSI metabase API).
Doesn't matter. As a previous poster mentioned, the problem is not in IIS, it's the ISAPI.dll filter (which handles all dynamic and index queries). This would be relatively easy to rewrite if it doesn't have to be compatible with ASP (boo hoo). As long as it's a ".NET" only filter, people can then disable ISAPI.DLL and run NETAPI.DLL - I'd be happy, for one.
