Will I be able to run Win7 from the thumb drive, just like a fully installed Win7? Or will the thumb drive Win7 do nothing expect install Win7 on my hdd?
Try this: load a simple html file (no javascript) in ff, open several tabs and load the simple html file in each tab. I am guess that will not crash ff.
For me, it's javascript that kills ff. I am guessing that certain ff just can not handle certain javascript operations. For me, hitting the wrong kind of javascript is like stepping on land-mine, cpu usage is peaked at 100% and I have to kill ff.
If an American called Indians unemployable, that American would labeled a bigot. But Indians say that sort of thing about Americans all the time. According to India, and a lot of US companies: all the smart people in the world come from countries where people earn as little as $1 a day.
If anybody in the US suggests that visa limits not be raised, India screams and cries about US racism and xenophobia. But, what percentage of Americans work for WiPro? My understanding is that India is not all accepting of immigrants from Bangladesh. And how can India's caste system not be consider one of the earth's most extreme form of bigotry? I might add, the US has a well earned reputation of being lavishly generous in matters of immigration.
India constantly warns the US about the horrors of a "brain drain" that would be caused by the US not allowing unlimited guest workers from India. But why is India not worried about the Indian "brain drain" caused by the "best and brightest" leaving India. We might also want to give some thought to the US "brain drain" that is being caused by the US "best and brightest" avoiding STEM jobs, because the job prospects for Americans is so dismal.
Azim Premji, who owns 79% of WiPro, recently wrote an article that warned that "US protectionism will be counter-productive"
"If we get into protectionism, then the West is going to get a wave of protectionism in response, and that is going to turn back the clock 20 years," Premji told The Sunday Times.
"And it will be America and Europe that suffer," he said because they will be excluded from the only growth markets left, in Asia, Africa and China. You are not going to grow at 10 per cent trading in London, are you," he asked.
Ever hear the expression: "what is good for the goose, is good for the gander?"
India is one of the most protectionist nations on earth, and they have been for a long time. If India wants to consider guest workers part of trade agreements, then when does India make good for the three million Indians already living in the USA? Or does India consider "protectionism" a one-way thing?
Didn't Hillary take about $850K to drop her push for universal health care around 1994? That is Michael Moore tells us, any Mikey is not exactly a right winger.
My guess is: the health care companies will give Obama a pile of money, and that will be the end of it.
It is not a dem vs repub thing (both parties are corrupt, IMO), it's just the way things work in the USA.
Lobbyists literally write the bills, which congress will rubber-stamp after the appropriate "speaker's fees" or "service fees."
The scox-scam is nothing but 1% of msft's ongoing fud campaign against linux. Why do you think msft sponsored the entire thing? Why do you think they are suing ibm? IBM does not even have a linux distribution.
IBM contributed to linux, and that scared msft. So msft wanted (and still wants) it to be know that if you contribute to linux, you may be served with a bogus lawsuit. The entire point of the lawsuit is to have a chilling effect on potential linux contributers. And possibly linux users, since linux users were told they would have to pay scox $699 per CPU, or scox would sue them as well.
In such a lawsuit, it does not matter if you in the right, if you can not afford the lawsuit, you lose as soon as the suit is filed, just ask TomTom.
Scox has never had a profitable quarter, not once in their entire existence. Scox would have been out of business five years ago, if not for the generous contributions from Redmond. Seriously, research scox's financial situation before scox filed the suit.
Msft paid some hicks in Utah to file a bogus lawsuit, and the deal has worked out nicely for msft, and the Utah hicks.
Is the huge stain splashed on the open source community by PJ and her gang of thugs at Groklaw. Bullying and intimidation of the IT press and individuals was all you ever got from Groklaw... well, that, and a lot of amateur legal advice.
Whenever scox's bankruptcy comes to trial, scox tells the judge about some mysterious prospective buyer, and scox gets another delay. Scox has been playing this game for nearly two years, and there is no end in sight. Of course, the dubious buyouts never materializes.
Either the judge falls for the same trick every time, or there is corruption involved. Considering that msft has been behind the scox-scam every step of the way since the beginning of the scam (over six years ago), the possibility of corruption is real. After all, msft is the company that admitted to bribing public officials in the OOXML scam.

How did the government's efforts succeed? Seems to me the DOJ rulings against msft were nothing but a joke. Msft certainly has not curtailed their abusive business practices.
I stopped using it, only recently. It jams too often. But, for a $25 cartridge, I was able to print for years. I could probably fix the jamming, but it's probably not worth it.
I once read that hp considered their HPLJ IIs and IIIs to be big mistakes, because they lasted too long.
"Linux recently achieved 1% market share of the overall operating system market."
IMO: the article is grossly misleading, at best. Clearly the 1% statistic is meant to measure desktop use, but the article harps on "overall" market share.
First-time Vista users will discover added support for data encryption, a new Windows Explorer, upgraded icons and navigation structure. There are also graphical replications of clock, calendar, weather and Outlook mail functions.
I work for a DoD contractor. I don't think the Army uses windows data encryption, and does not intend to do so. New icons? So what.
I do not see one good reason that justifies this huge expense.

Most of those illegally crossing the boarder are looking for jobs, right? So why not require the use of eVerify, and have a meaningful system of identification, and mandatory jail sentences for anybody hiring an illegal immigrant. For most Mexicans, if they can not get jobs in the USA, there is no reason to come here.
There is also the GWB solution: make the US such an awful place to live, that nobody would want to come here, illegally or otherwise.
Also, didn't Microsoft bribe officials to vote for OOXML approval as an ISO standard?
Would have been better without tacked on pandering

Time travel was only there as an excuse to use Nimoy. There was no reason the entire crew had to be together at the end. The story would be much more interesting if the crew members had crossed paths, then gone separate ways, with the audience knowing they meet up again later.
Is Kirk supposed to be purely an action figure? He seems to have no interest in in star fleet, or space exploration, or anything philosophical. In fact, I don't think there was anything remotely philosophical in the entire movie. There was not much of a story either. I suppose we are supposed to ouu and ahh over seeing the original characters, and the special effects.
The movie was little more than one action scene after the next, and a series of extremely implausible meetings, and an equally implausible series of field promotions.
Microsoft has been saying this for as long as I can remember: "okay, we admit our present products suck, but the next release will just be unbelievable great."
Then, as time goes on, the deadline gets pushed back, and features get dropped. When the product finally does come out, it's buggy and bloated. But, msft will remind us that the next release will just be unbelievable great.
If communicating is so important for developers, then why are US companies breaking their necks to offshore all of their development jobs, or to replace US workers, with guest workers who barely speak English?
>>We know how well this worked for SCO and Compuserve. In the long term, it isn't good for business.
The scox scam was great for scox. Scox would have been out of business three years ago, if not for all that msft money. IMO: the scox scam was just another msft PR stunt. Msft wants the world to know that linux is a legal mine field.

The last Linux distro I downloaded weighed in at 4,3 Gb and it was nowhere near complete.
Try Ubuntu.
BTW: the 4.3 GB distro was not "Linux" but Linux with a lot of applications.
Try this: load a simple html file (no javascript) in ff, open several tabs and load the simple html file in each tab. I am guess that will not crash ff.
For me, it's javascript that kills ff. I am guessing that certain ff just can not handle certain javascript operations. For me, hitting the wrong kind of javascript is like stepping on land-mine, cpu usage is peaked at 100% and I have to kill ff.

Show people the true horrors caused by illegal downloading. Like Britney Spears having to fly on a Gulfstream III, when she wanted a Gulfstream IV.

As I understand it, it is a very common practice to train 23 year old guest workers to maintain the legacy COBOL systems.
If communicating is so important for developers, then why are US companies breaking their necks to offshore all of their development jobs, or to replace US workers, with guest workers who barely speak English?
Still want to use Mono?
