If "bug 1565" comes up during your work, it'll fetch information in dashboard about the bug without needing you to click on a bug link.
What a pain that would be. If I want information, **I** will decide I need information. I do not need some background process to decide for me.
In your specific example, suppose I was chasing down a intermittant bug. After the 40th time seeing "Bug 1565 is....", I would gladly junk the whole system.
This seems too much like Clippy: "I see you have bug 1565 again. Would you like to see the explanation and how to de-bug it?"
Having driven in most provinces and states, I prefer Quebec.
You have to be a bit more alert, BUT, people use signals when changing lanes and turning, they drive in the right lane on highways only using the left lane for passing, if they want to change lanes they signal THEN change lanes, etc.
Let's not start re-inventing technical meanings. Graphical is not Text.
A text system cannot by definition display graphics. The original IBM had two basic modes for the display, text and graphics. You had to switch them within your program. Text was MUCH faster, so you only went to graphical when you had to. It was also easier to code to the text mode.
Problem: search all of the known sky for moving objects, calculate its velocity and extrapolate its position to see if it satisfies a simultanoeus equation with Earths position at any time in the future.
Maybe they should just hire quarterbacks?
(that would be North American football for our readers across the pond)
Natural objects cannot move fast than the speed of light, and substantial size stuff like planets or asteroids cannot move at relativistic speeds (i.e. - substantial fraction of the speed of light) because the stresses when render them to powder.
Do you mean the force required to accelerate the object, or the mere speed itself?
How can mere speed (especially in vacuum) be a facter?
Yes I know there is no such thing as an ideal vacuum. Is that what you mean, that the 1-2 molecules per cubic meter are sufficient to cause problems to a planetary size object?

Nobody here is named Jack or John, so Jack does not off in John.
Ok 10%. My bad....
They might as well change their name
IBM has over 300K employees. 20K in India is less than 1%. IBM has employees in almost every contry.
So which part of International Business Machines is confusing?
these 6,000 employees wouldn't be taking tech jobs from the U.S.
No, that part has already been done.
haven't posted any large gains
Maybe not, but they are busy buying up their shares.
Long term goal might be to become a private company again.
We're so good, we'll give you our source code to prove you can't hack us..
Or they have already BEEN hacked. Now, when their source shows up, they can say "but WE released it, not hackers...".
with each roll of toilet paper
So how many times do you have to use the paper before you get the the reader?
12 sheets per "event", 2000 sheets per roll, makes it 166 times, 1.5 times per day and you have to wait 110 days.
Of course YMMV...
So the question is what did Hydro Quebec do better than the others?
They use French electrons.
What those apparently puddles of yellowish brown liquid in the pics near the bottom are?

Good intelligent response.
If we all contribute a little, then the cost to all of us is that much less
Except that in this case, if we all contribute a little, then we all pay more, and the cost to a few (one?) is a LOT less.
Well, it has been a few years.....
I guess you don't live in Quebec, then?

I am NOT from Quebec, but from B.C.
Legal access to addictive drugs
What, you cannot buy cigarettes where you live?
If you can't beat them, buy them - Microsoft
And also:
If you can't beat them, anounce the development of a similar product, watch them die, then kill the development.
Damn!
Maybe I should look past the entry field.....
I am in Canada, and I CANNOT get to www.google.com, it always re-directs me to www.google.ca. Even if I explicitly try to reach the .com.
How about other countries? Do you get www.google.uk, www.google.au, etc?
And using a document framework called OpenDoc.
Another great concept buried by Microsoft.
But there is nothing stopping an ISP from allowing mail from your domain, as long as there is a certificate attached to it.
So then you need to buy a certificate. And there will be competitino for these certifiicates which should drive the price down to a reasonable level.

The trouble with making a sweeping statement is that someone will usually step up with excpetions.
I suppose ASCII art can also be said to show graphics.
And the early games also ran in text mode using re-mapped character sets.
Sigh.....
couldn't it technically be called "graphical"
