oh yes, then we will be able to use this "open source browser" to integrate office applications on a company intranet?
Sure, you could use an open source application suite, but the so could every other company out there. And then, if they did that, well hell, we could all then do something actively to fix this "we use office, ie5 can recognize office 2000, and so we use office 2000 and ie5" problem.
Seriously, somebody send me sone information on an application suite that can be used with a browser the same as IE5 and Office 2000 please!
"a few simple safeguards could eliminate any chance of evil machines bent on world domination succeeding."
Yes, and a few simple safeguards could eliminate any software errors that we would encounter!
Software engineering at the current state produces software that produces "bugs" or "errors" that we did not expect. I guess we should somehow master software engineering to the point that we make no "errors" possible before taking on this subject?
Yeah right, think about it and then you realize it is not what can we do, but what we can do by mistake that should scare us.(this quote is open source by me and can be used in any way).
Yes, many do fail. I was late to my first CS 101 class. I sat at the very back of lab class. By the end of the semester I was sitting in the second row. (still late to class)
The drop out rate for Freshman CS students seems high everywhere.
In it for the money? If you take a class and all they teach you is on MS based products, then they will probably know mostly MS based material "in class".
This brings up another issue. Many companies may not port to other products such as Linux because they can't find the people to support them in general. Do you see a cycle here?
If schools support other products other than MS, one such reason being costs, this would produce more employees to support companies moving in that direction.
It may take some time, but it will happen unless things change. (Until then, research by a student in their own time outside of class to cover these areas will provide great benefits now or later.)
Do you think that the enormous industrialization of our planet and global warming in the same 100 year period is an accident? Could it possibly be that this happens to occur in the same 100 years, when it is estimated the last time it happenned was 50 million years ago?
All you computer nerds out there such as I, look at the numbers!
Any comments to this would be appreciated, I would like to know more about this subject.
Linux is better than windows. Linux out performs windows 2000. Some people fuck goats. Linux improves performance. Linux file system is the best. Linux replaces Windows 2000 in corporate america. Microsoft decides to open source Office 2000. Office 2000 is made for Linux. Star Office out sells Office 2000. Microsoft makes more money from Office 2000 than anyone ever made from Star Office. Andover.net rules! Slashdot covers informatin from usatoday.com, wired.com, scriptingnews.com, andover.net.
Bah! When Stephin King wrote his first books under the name Richard Bachman, they didn't sell nearly as well. Then, he re-released them under his name, and they sold a huge number of copies. In that same book, Stephen King talks about this and how his name must of carried the book. (basically) So, if you take that same principle, if he released this book under another name would it be successful under the current honer system? NO! It would not sell! Under his own web site, yes! People out there will buy it. You can't judge a book by sales, or e-sales?
No sucker bets apply, read what you want and don't get caught up in sales numbers or hype. (X-men?)
They have been able to control a market place and charge high prices through schemes that would be illegal if only they didn't control so much of the government (through campaign contributions, lobbying, etc.). The RIAA, the MPAA, and the publishing houses have locked up the content world into a feedback loop where their most prominent and profitable content creators get to keep publishing, and the little guys never get heard.
And the government can then allow certain information or content to be abolished or "not present" in return for this monopoly. Yes, people live in the United States of America, yet the government controls what these united states can see and hear one way or another. Worse yet, we can't control what the government can see or hear. Carnivore? (Why not name it sally instead?)
Let's look ahead. This form of publication will allow a great freedome to authors. What about the film industry?
Can you imagine when directors can post their projects online in a form they wish directly? (Okay, director cuts are given to successful films that the movie industry says "okay, you did good, now you can add scenes we didn't think were good or appropriate, but we still have th final say!".
Imagine seeing a film produced by a director in it's entirety in it's original form. Nobody to say "that isn't marketable", just the way they wanted to shoot the movie.
The discussions we have today about mp3 files and ebooks will be pale once full length movies will be feasible online. A lot of stuff will be put out there that "people" don't want you to see. It is important that we establish a free way of voting for this content so that it is recognized outside of the commercial "award shows". Lay the ground work now in anticipation for the existing technology of the future.

Wait a minute! Shouldn't they post this before every customer transaction?
Where is it and what platforms does it support?
True.
Is this a joke?

This will solve many of your problems.
You can change this setting via the Internet Exploerer Administratin Kit (IEAK) I beleive.
If the same people are management for the company you work for, you are working for the wrong company!

Why doesn't a company make scooby snacks?

Yes, dickhead, those around here know better. Go advertise somewhere else.

TEST!
You can go to this web site and know for sure what movies to watch.

C'mon, what did you expect?
Maybe someone is trying to connect to your computer?
(Hey, how much do you trust your local ISP?)
If they have the time to do this, then they should support more operating systems, and more specific games!
Yes, and 640k should be about enough for anyone!
