Nobody in this movie is as bad as Shatner. (and probably no one in the orginal star trek is as good as any of the main cast members in this) However, the plot and the jokes don't live up to the cast: don't pay $8.00 to see this thing. Wait and rent it. (or at least go to a matinee)
why rental applications are not totally brain dead

1) The link is to an article that doesn't say or even hint at what exactly variety of the applications. 2) Therefore, if the new company has a www site and somebody around here knows what it is then plz post it. 3) There are a variety of highly data intensive analytical applications for which this sort of model makes a lot of sense: * The front end is used to model the business and establish business rules and requires some substantial initial customization. This is the part of the app hosted over the www. * The back end requires a lot of data and also requires services to clean and load the data. The back end requires on going maintenance and is really harder to keep working (and performing) on an ongoing basis. * After processing, another "front end" (again hosted over the www) is used to browse and analyze the results of the backend processing...perhaps with an OLAP engine behind it. * In a sense the companies that do this are actually service bureaus: they get sent a buttload of data every month and produce results with it. However, the www architecture makes it simple to host pretty, complex, necessary GUIs remotely -- this was not so simple to do 10 years ago. 4) However, if the new applications produced by the new company are HTML editors and word processors, then in spite of your overwhelming ignorance, you guys are correct and it'll never work...
Yep, I don't reboot this often, but DevStudio apparently exacerbates some sort of memory leak in the OS. Someday MS is gonna fix this and advertise it as a feature. Then again, memory is cheap.
Yes MS Office is bloated. So is Visio, so is Corel Draw, so is IE4 and so is Netscape Communicator.... so is Just any popular non-shareware package you care to name. There are lots of marketing driven reasons that this is the case. M$ Office is only a 'prime' example because it has beaten its competitors by becoming more bloated. Yes, I am one of those consumers who when faced with a choice between word processors (10 years ago) chose the one with more whistles and bells. M$ did a better job at consistently coming up with more of them and it 'won' the war of the office suites. [ But you all can go back to bashing M$ now ]
