Umm both Lotus Notes (under Wine) and Clearcase ("native" under wine-lib) run on Linux.
And how does this make the manager who loves Windows any happier? He doesn't care one iota about Linux and Linux support, because to him, Linux is different and scary. Worse yet, he might think, "IBM is de-emphasizing Windows within their own organization; will they start de-emphasizing Windows product support too?" Soes said manager start to think about moving to a non-IBM product from a company that's as codependant on Microsoft as he is? Even though it's wrong, will he say "IBM is moving to Linux. We're a Microsoft shop. We should buy Microsoft products." Remember, in many ways the marketing world is more about perception than reality.
IBM has to make sure that they don't freak out the IT manager who loves Windows. They are avoiding hyping the move to Linux too much simply for this reason.
I think we have a pointy haired manager in our midst.
You miss the point entirely. I'm not actually saying that Windows Clearquest will get any worse (shudder). I'm saying that IBM's marketing is targetted to companies and pointy-haired managers who might think such a thing.
clearcase runs on linux as well as many UNIX platforms.
But companies that have hitched their wagons to Windows don't care about this: they want reassurances that Windows software won't become second-tier products.
My company uses two IBM-owned Windows-based products: Lotus Notes and Clearcase. (Yes, it is appropriate to feel sorry for me now) Will IBM continue to develop and support these products for Windows? Certainly. But will IBM but less priority on those products now that they're almost certainly not going to be using them in-house to the same degree? It's possible.
My company and many others don't want to hear that IBM is de-prioritizing their Windows products, and that's why IBM isn't making such a big deal out of this.
Did the FBI fail to stop 9/11 because:
1) They didn't have this law?
2) They were still fighting the cold war and largely unprepared to fight Islamic extremists?
I vote #2. But instead, we give these guys #1.
P.S. I haven't actually tried the executable out, I just added the clickable goodness. I also couldn't pass up the chance to make a Crocodile Dundee joke.
There's nothing fundamental about diamond that will change electron tunnelling. The Intel paper was not silicon specific--to quote the article itself:
The tunneling effects, Gargini said, will occur regardless of the chemistry of the transistor materials. Several researchers over the years have predicted the end of Moore's Law but made the mistake of extrapolating on the basis of existing materials.
The concept behind the Intel researchers' paper was, "why don't we do something based entirely on fundamental principles?" Gargini said. "The beauty of our paper is that it is independent of materials."
Maybe I'm getting too cynical, but I fully expect these new formats to have some nefarious DRM scheme. The article in question didn't have any information on it, but I'm sure some slashdotters out there know: What's the DRM like on these new formats?
The article celebrates 20 years of misspelling.

I can't tell...I think it is in the screener but not in the consumer DVD. But it's really hard to tell. Why? Because the car is really far off in the distance, and there's definitely something going on in that area of the screen, but I can't tell if it's a car or just a result of compression artifacts and my substandard television. This area of the screen does look a little different between the screener and the consumer, but once again, it's a little hard to tell (the images are different brightnesses, too, which might be tricking my brain).
Do you honestly think they create a new Oscar screener DVD from the film transfer? I am guessing they take it straight from the original DVD.
To make the Oscar voting deadline, the screener was out very soon after the theatrical release of the movie, and long before the consumer DVD was out. I mentioned it because if my (perhaps suspect) memory is correct, that means they fixed the problem very, very quickly.
The smoke [from the exhaust] and dust wasn't so bad because there was already lots of it around, but the bloody windshield was reflecting the sun back into the camera lens. So we erased it for the DVD.
I call shennanigans! I haven't seen the FOTR:extended edition commentary, but I remember them saying, "We don't know what people are talking about...there's no car in this scene." So he's now admitting that they not only removed the car, but they lied about doing so in the commentary track.
Shennanigans all around.:)
P.S. I need to check, but I think they even removed the car in the Oscar screener. Or at least in the Hong Kong version of it.:)
There are more offices than just the presidency, and not every vote is as close (and as subject to shennanigans) as the 2000 election. And if things really are as corrupt as you make them out to be, any change would have to begin at the local level, in local elections. All of these are still good reasons to vote.
But if you persist in thinking that you can make things better by not voting and not being informed, more power to you.
it still doesn't seem to make any difference. What next?
I doubt the people who you gave money and the organizations you gave time to felt that you made no difference...and if they do, maybe you should find some new orgaizations. And if you want more change, get the next guy to do the same.
Not to single you out, but writing to your represenatives is just a first step. Who can stop this kind of crap from ever happening? Only you can, by participating in your democracy. You can and will make a difference; the only problem is, it isn't easy.
Did you vote? Did you do your best to become informed about the issues and candidates?
Do you know who your representatives are? Do you know what they stand for? Do you know their voting record?
Do you give money to organizations that support your beliefs?
Do you give money to politicians that support your beliefs?
Do you volunteer to support those groups or politicians?
People will tell you that you can't make a difference, that democracy is for the rich, that the elections are fixed and the candidates are identical, so voting is moot anyway. Those people are trying to control you; to make you so numb and so confounded that you do nothing. Listen to those people, and you are guaranteed to not make a difference.
"By the people, for the people" means that WE are in charge of running the country, and we as a people have been asleep at the wheel for too long. Democracy works best when the citizens do their best to participate. Conversely, it works poorly when people feel disenfranchised, get an "I hate politics and refuse to pay attention to it" attitude, and watch TV instead.

NASA's remarkable 45-year history and vast scientific and engineering resources have helped the agency launch numerous research missions to understand and protect planet Earth.

In any case, no screencaps from me, but this page has images highlighting the car. Even with that page to guide me, I'm still not sure.
