Agreed, however, you need to compare apples-to-apples, or at least more closely then a webmail application to an operating system or piece of hardware.
of the issue. My team has had to get things out the door in 4-6 hours before. Just make sure you have people that have intricate knowledge of the app so that you can properly scope any changes, which allows you to perform good QA.
Google has possessed this 'aura' of innovation for a long time - one of the reasons its stock price is so high. I don't see this move as innovation at all: it's more capitulation.
Stop trying to rehash the old and make something new.
Don't forget tanks. If Detroit has shown anything, it's that the Engineering/Manufacturing skills they possess are unmatched anywhere on the globe. Have a war and need tanks? Shoot, we can retool our plants in 48 hours for making M1s. Need fighter jets? GM can hook you up though Saab or the on-so-old-and-quiet GE/GM alliance.
Oh, and then there's the college system around detroit. GMI/Kettering and U of M are 2 of the best schools in the country and a large percentage of the enginners stay put. One reason google and toyota are opening massive engineering centers in the region.
Because there are already 3 in detroit perusing it too.
Oh, and can't forget about Audi, BMW, etc. that all have headquarters in Detroit. I see the audi prototypes around auburn hills all the time. Also have seen several time GM's electric car.
Why does a server need a special somebody to tend to it, pamper it, water it every now and then? Why can't one just buy a server, switch it on and let it get on with doing what it is supposed to do? I understand that IT departments have a vested interest in self-preservation, but truth be told, Apple demonstrates that IT doesn't have to be complicated and that, in particular, a server can be something that normal people can use.:| There go my mod points....
It's not that the server is hard to use - it's the consequences and how all the different technologies work together.
Could you even image JoeUser trying to figure out why the directory service isn't working? Sure he can go to wikipedia and find out what LDAP is, and I'm sure there are pretty preskool-esque browsers he could use that come with Leopard Server, but what about all the things that his "usage" can affect?
JoeUser: Cool, a 'Users' object - that shouldn't be there, I've given myself Admin rights along with everyone else so they can print and stuff. So I'm and Admin, and don't need this Users groups anymore.... *JoeUser deletes the User class from the tree*
Or maybe he tries to remove software through Directory Policies, or delete the "lpd" user account or any of hundreds of thousands of other things. I'm going to take a guess in that the parent has never had users utterly rely on a server providing a service.
If the situation is indeed as you describe (that the problem here is just that the firewall is allowing certain connections that it "knows" are okay) then you're right: this isn't a security vulnerability, but rather a case of poor UI design. The UI is saying "I'm blocking all connections" even though it isn't. Eh - I don't know if I buy even that.
I know a car's engine makes a "vroooom" sound but I'm not going to try and replace the flywheel. People need to know what they are doing, not "think" they know.
Except they only profit off me if I use their free service, or e-mail someone who does.
Also, gmail or not, anyone who e-mails anything even remotely private is an idiot. Google reading e-mail is the least concerning part of any unencrypted e-mail. It always strikes me as really odd when people complain about what Google does to the equivalent of electronic postcards. We email private stuff all the time - all 4096-bit PKI encrypted of course.
What, google doesn't offer secure encryption? All these moves by google, IMO, are fluff made to get the masses to go "wow, that's cool!". Until Google provides a service that rescinds some of their control in favor of the end-user, it's a toy.
If either is the case, how is that any different than either setting up a test server (or servers) with VMware computers all connected to each other using physical connections, or just having multiple VMware sessions on one computer all interconnected using a single connection?
Because this way you can get "a leading solution from the leaders in leadership" instead of paying in-house salaries.
They are overselling their services. Does it make sense that you get a hard drive's worth of capacity for a few bucks a month?
You don't even have to say anything: the mere fact they have not booted you for using "excessive CPU cycles" is because you are using well under 100GB of storage. They are just one of many well-known excessive oversellers. Something to keep in mind: you always get what you pay for.
If you modify an embedded system in a non-vendor approved way and then install a vendor update and the update brakes cause you did something incompatible.... Then it's your fault, not the vendors...
While i agree that Apple should be forced to sell unlocked phones, modifying a product in a non-approved way DOES invalidate your waranty. Why should the vendor be held reliable if YOU break his software? Because when I get handed a cup of coffee I expect it to be room-temperature.
How dare you use logic and common-sense on this issue. Just for that, I'm sending Al Gore over to your house to illicit a beatdown. He'll be over right after he's done tweaking BGP4 on my new edge router.
In other news, Microsoft engineers finally determined JavaScript was sufficiently weak-typed enough to develop production applications in. When asked, lead Application Architect, Jing-Jong Wong Alturi stated "Our skills with the Visual Basic enterprise language will translate nicely to our new web platform. We were able to write Excel macros to take our VB code from our code respoitories, filter it through the advanced mathematic functions of Excel and translate it to JS semantics. Additionally, the memory leaks of most JS runtimes fit nicely into the 'develop' stage of the our development process."
The software is still licensed. Until Apple sends thugs out to collect the bricked phone, what is the problem? You never own any commercial sofware you purchase, you just get a license for its use! If you don't want to use the Apple firmware, you're not forced to - hack it all-day-long if you want... just don't expect Apple to support your hacks/mods/changes, nor should they.
People wonder why I recommend getting a private email account. Sure we could have the same issues, but the core webmail software we use is almost a decade old, and I gather that it has had more users then GMail currently has.
In short: ditch the free and go with a service provider that provides service. GMail is ok for your Grandpa, but do you really want those million-dollar business contracts and project bids on it?

You didn't use a literal so your results include everything that has the word "bugs" in it.....
try this instead foolio

Google makes software that works. LOL

From the article:
"..but with the lightweight Enlightenment window manager instead of heavy Gnome/KDE desktops. "
I never thought I would live to see the day.....
More like they wanted to make a public statement that they do NOT condone what ever it is he did. Something sexual/amoral perhaps????

Fantastic piece of kit.

You know BlueJ is Netbeans, right?
If you think NB is slow, turn off some modules you don't need.

Sun is the new Bell Labs.
Watch for the robotics coming out, very quietly, from Sun in the next 10 years.

You analogy sucks. A better one would be if ford forced you to use fossil fuel in your car, and crippled the ability for the car to fly.
Oh wait....
