Your argument is what alot of.NET proponents love to bash Java on with all the different version dependancies.
The more I find a difference between the 2 environments the more I see the same. I would not be surprised if c# and.NET came from Java itself after MS settled with rights to the source code.
Actually they plan on suing IBM for more money and to go more aggresively after Novel.
At least thats what I read from the last SCO story here. What is odd is IBM's former chairman is the CEO of the Caryle Group. The Caryle Group has been mentioned in Fareignheight 9-11 as a proment pro war defense consulting group that backed Bush and milked huge government contracts with Haliburtin and DOD. I think Bush SR. is on the board of directors but I could be wrong.
This company is a rat and even less ethical than the old SCO. I truly shudder what they are up too and would not be suprised if some high powerful people such as Bill Gates have ties to them. They have alot of friends in Washington and are as evil as Enron and Haliburtin.
I am not a lawyer but I am in college and have taken business law last semester.
What you described is the role of an agent (or employee) and what legal obligations they have to a client. A company also is an agent relationship with alot of employees and customers too to a certain extent.
I assumed with domain tasting someone would monitor the connection and then quickly register any domains that someone typed in by sniffing. However if the ISP is doing this then yes its an agent/client relationship and they should be sued.
A true conflict of interest. Does the ISP work for the customer or to the squatters? Something should be done and it may already illegal if ICANN has an agent relationship with its clients.
The problem is lack of competition thanks to the deregulation of the last decade or so that was supposed to enable more FIOS and DSL service paid for by our tax dollars.
Instead the telecoms said thank you and blocked competitors. Remember the amount of ISP's you could chose from back in the 90's compared to today? My point exactly.
You have 2 ISP's. DSL or cable and both throttle your traffic.
As opposed to the alternative of.. sorry you can't own your own phone you bought and its all drm locked and you can't develop your apps and you need to buy all your $3 midi ring tones and proprietary apps from us only.. alternative?
It should be alright illegal to drm something you own. Imagine if our desktops were that restrictive? Why put up with it on your phone?
With the google phone I can at least download apps and develop my own.
I suppose its too late as I purchased a vista machine when my old laptop died. But the fact that Java had some serious problems and not even JOptionPane worked properly is why I did not pick a mac this time. JOptionPane is kind of important if you write Java based software.
SP1 caused numerous stability problems on my laptop and I prefer to skip this service pack. The drivers do not like the changes and yes they are compatibility problems. sp1 is not a magic bullet to fix Vista's i/o problems either unfortunately.
Yeah but the switch didn't limit I/O to 1/10th the speed of the hardware.
Windows 3.11 did limit the hardware which is why I didn't use it for anything but Mosaic and Word Perfect. Windows95 on the otherhand was a different matter.
My guess is the plan was to redirect consumers to surge for media player at yahoo's site. Or perhaps the company is trying to sell it quickly before ms controls it. Perhaps Yahoo did this to increase their networth so the CEO could make some money before being totally under MS control.
But if I were MS I would just cancel the music subscription service or force them to use Surge.
Real player no longer sucks and its the only player on Linux that has correct color calibration and brightness on my laptops.
IT no longer has spyware and adware but the reputation quite damned it. Its quite slim now and fast since the company went in a different direction a few years ago.... no I dont use it anymore on Windows and prefer Itunes. Raphsody requires real player so some people still use it. My wife has it on her computer but she rarely uses it anymore.
I love the integration and simplicity of the gnome interface on Ubuntu and have turned into a gnome user over the years when I run Linux.
However with the fiasco with Suse, Micorosoft, patents,.NET, and Miguel supporting ooxml over ODF I am begining to feel uncomfortable running Gnome and wonder about ulterior motives. Doesn't Miguel work for SuSE? Didn't SuSE just cripple their own Samba version in order to sell more copies of Windows as an AD controller?
Kde 4.0 supposed to be a rapid improvement and Kubuntu is supposed to be alot more polished and integrated as Ubuntu according to comnpany officials as planned by Hardy. I wonder if this is going to be the case?
I want a choice of Gnome but still have everything just work well. I found KDE in ubuntu to be not integrated and rather a poor implementation compared to the polished version of Gnome.
Also Dbus is not friendly on laptops as the event model prevents many models from going to a power saving mode wasting battery power. I wonder if this has been resolved.
Did you uninstall the OEM software such as anti virus products? Also Vista defrags hard drives slowly unless you force it to do so.
I disabled and uninstalled all the software include the games from WildTangent which is a known spyware maker. THen I ran the disk defrag utility. Now its fine.
You can disable indexing and windows search and turning off volume shadow copy and especially restore point. This would help with random disk access.
If you need anti virus capabilities there are free ones like clamWin which wont virtualize your whole I/O system in order to catch a virus.
Do this and your computer will be alot faster.

Agreed
ITs not an unstable crappy mess such as WindowsME ever was despite what the naysayers tell everyone about it.
I am typing this on a machine with Vista and yes for people who do not like change it can be a hair pulling experience for the first month. Toshiba did not have any XP drivers for my notebook as I wanted to downgrade fast.
However Vista works, areo takes a while to get used and after I discoved how to put the file menu's back into windows explorer a few weeks of being fustrated I felt alot better. I had to use the classic Windows explorer for awhile before I discovered VistaGlazz and finally getting used to the new gui.
Its not perfect and has slow i/o in which crapware loaded with most OEM computers such as McAfee anti virus can ground a $5,000 machine to a halt as a result. The hard disk can spin randomly and suck battery life out if its idle.
But it does have cool features such as speech recongition, the ability to load Windows updates withotu installing them, windows Media player 11 with flashdrive features, and my favorite which is resource monitor that has been added in the NT task manager. WIth the resource monitor you can find out exactly what the computer is doing and can find things like how many megs are being written to the disk from which program. Its like Solaris ptrace in alot of ways. Nice if you want to save battery power and something is using i/o and you want to find out what.
Writing a book on how much Vista sucks is a waste of time. ITs not the end of the world but I would not mind Windows 7 and would tell others happy on XP to stay.
As a business user you can be fined under sarbines Oxley for running pirated and unlicensed software. MS could make that case that the user didn't pay a licensing fee to MS to use Gnome and.NET.
That alone is fud and can scare many managers away from using non MS products thanks to the whole split within the linux community.
This the problem with monopolies and I would not be surprised if they do and end up charging more and throttling down traffic for any DSL service but their own. Also do I have to wait 2 or 3 months for AT&T to install it?
Sorry if I seem skeptical but I am no fan of the major tele cos.
I run Ubuntu and play Wow with my wife. Both use a ton of bandwith once a month when updating. I really dont pirate like some teenagers who downloads gigs and gigs of files a month. Do I need to suffer as a result?
The wow patch system uses bit torrent. Infact I download ubuntu with bittorent as well with newer releases because their file servers become swamped for weeks when a new release is out.
What about my kids using cam software to talk to their father? Cable companies already filter any encrypted traffic including video. THis is illegal as a common carrier status and a legitimate use.
The contract says do not do illegal things and these are not illegal at all. I pay a ton of money and am stuck with a contract. The contracts should be illegal as the companies have unfair bargaining power as monopolies and oglipolies like the contracts are with the rest of the world.
Newer hard drives have ramps instead of a parking bay so the wear and tear of booting is greatly reduced.
Also with the new agent anti virus malware on corporate machines do alot of wear and tear as well and ruin the life of hard drives.
The cost of energy is going up while the cost of hard drives are going down. You can get a hard drive now for $50 while leaving a 300 watts running (equilivant of 3x 100 watt light bulbs) can cost $50 within 1 month.
I am in favor of shutting pc's off or at least putting them in sleep mode due to the energy costs and the failure problem is not that big anymore. I always turn my pc's off and never had a hard drive fail. Of course I know I am in the minority on this but things are changing with costs.

How can the mac version run if its written with .NET?
Hmm
.NET proponents love to bash Java on with all the different version dependancies.
.NET came from Java itself after MS settled with rights to the source code.

so java 6 is actually supported?
I just read this article http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t102936.html and of course read all the flames here on slashdot with Leapoard and java.
I was under the impression that Jobs preferred Coca and java 6 was never going to see the light of day.
Its true there are usage guidelines but I have been reading not even eclipse would run on leopard and no one cared.
If I am wrong let me know as I hate vista with a passion.
As opposed to the alternative of .. sorry you can't own your own phone you bought and its all drm locked and you can't develop your apps and you need to buy all your $3 midi ring tones and proprietary apps from us only.. alternative?

Does Java work properly now?
I suppose its too late as I purchased a vista machine when my old laptop died. But the fact that Java had some serious problems and not even JOptionPane worked properly is why I did not pick a mac this time. JOptionPane is kind of important if you write Java based software.
The disk i/o is teh worst part of Vista more than anything.
:-)
Not only is free being a rip off but customers are actually paying more to upgrade to XP. I would do so if I could get drivers for my notebook.
It works and I suppose thats the most important thing. The new GUI can also be fustrating too until a month or so to get used to it.
The new sp1 caused numerous blue screens on my notebook when I tried a rc so I think I will skip this sp out and wait for sp1.1.
SP1 caused numerous stability problems on my laptop and I prefer to skip this service pack. The drivers do not like the changes and yes they are compatibility problems. sp1 is not a magic bullet to fix Vista's i/o problems either unfortunately.
Apologies. I thought you were referring to WindowsXP vs Windows Vista.

McCain is the flip flopper? Wasn't Rommney a pro choice pro tax republican until his miraculous conversion a few years ago?
McCain has stronger conservative credentials anyday.
McCain has a record of cutting government spending and voted multiple times not to expand the powers of the federal government.
What is it with republicans and hating John McCain.
What do you all hate about him? Why is he so ultra liberal when he has an 86% conservative rating?
I am just trying to understand the anti McCain movement within the republican party.
