While you give a possible rationale, it doesn't mean that this is the correct thing to do. And "you're still paying less than a retail copy of XP" is not the right thing to do. Especially if retail copies are not available.
I don't know what kind of morons are moderating, but how in the hell did this get modded informative?
Microsoft licenses have always been downgradable. And nothing stops you from installing the un-downgraded OS once you decide not to use the downgrade anymore. This has always been the case.
So now, they're making you pay more, and *YOU* are misinterpreting it. You do not get both vista and XP. Go ahead and install that copy of vista on another system, why don't you, and then go talk to Microsoft's licensing department and see what they tell you.
EC2 is also virtualized to hell and back. So, if you're already virtualizing, why go EC2? If you cannot virtualize for performance reasons, you still can't do EC2.
No. What Bill Gates has done is to encourage low quality shitty software. Go read the book "The Software Conspiracy". IBM's mainframe used to crash all the time too. Then, they put someone in charge will the balls and authority to fix that problem. That man later founded the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon. Microsoft could have learnt from that. Instead, we get Windows. with 85000 APIs and counting. Why is there a need for *5* (at the very least) APIs for doing a directory listing?
So, even though they are doing something that is in their interest, and also in the interest of their customers, they must suck, because whatever it is that they are doing also benefits them?
And you think it's only going to be limited in this case, right? Just like all those anti-terrorism laws will only be strictly restricted to fighting terrorists. Really, you can trust us, we are the government.
The moon is made of green cheese. Until someone refutes that, you can continue to think so.
Seriously though, zfs for osx is already available to be checked out and played with. Additionally, they hired one of the key zfs people and have her working on zfs for osx now.
I highly doubt it will suck, since, iirc, she was one of the people who worked on the test sets that SUNW^H^H^H^HJAVA runs nightly.
What a fucking moron. You swallow everything the AUTHORITY tells you, don't you?
Why not use some critical thinking? Which airline is the most dangerous in the world? Israeli Air. Which airline has never been hijacked or attacked? Israeli Air.
Because OO.o is not the app it was promised to be. It is big fat and ugly, and the only reason a lot of people rally around it is because it is "open source".
To me, that is not enough. It needs to be more. It was supposed to be the lean mean fighting machine. KOffice looks more like what OO.o was promised to be.
This is really sad. I still remember all the quotes from SUNW officers about what OO.o could have done for us. Very few of the promised features have actually shown up.
Why? If ISO does recognize this as an issue, then presumably, things should not have gotten as far as they did. In which case, everyone who voted in favor of it is suspect. Question every one of them. Anyone who can not give a credible answer of why they voted for it is turfed. Maybe not a life time ban, but at least 5 years. The individual AND the company (corp, branches, subsidiaries, etc).
The Jews think the Talmud and the Jewish Bible is the correct word of God and contradictions would not be possible.
The Muslims think that the Koran is the correct word of God and contradictions would not be possible.
The Scientologists think that the Dianetics is the word of the Aliens, and contradictions would not be possible.
The Jehovah's Witnesses think that the New World Translation version of the Bible is the word of God and contradictions would not be possible.
A lot of people think the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the word of Pastafarianism and contradictions would not be possible.
However, we do know that certain past interpretations of the Bible were dead wrong.
The Sun does not orbit around the Earth. The Earth is NOT flat. It is not right to keep slaves. It is not right to give your daughters' virginity away by rape just to keep your stupid neighbors from bothering strangers who're staying in your house.
Also, I'm quite sure the earth is older than 5000 or 6000 years old, and I'm even more sure that the devil did not go around the world burying dinosaur bones just to fuck with me. And if you *do* believe it, explain to me why the devil also planted the gas and oil fields at the same time - OH MY GOD!!! ARE YOU SAYING THAT AL GORE IS RIGHT, AND THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS CAUSED BY THE DEVIL!!!! DAMN!!! Stop helping the devil's cause, and quit driving!!!
There're entire books written on contradictions within the Bible. Go do some freaking research.
I maintain that there's nothing wrong with PHP, though. It has problems if you hire bad coders, but even average coders can quickly write clean, secure PHP.
I put it to you this way - you can write good code in any language or platform. But in general, PHP likes to booby trap your way. Things have gotten better, of course, but most PHP cowboys are brought in to work on some open source php platform. And most of those are crap, unfortunately.
PHP seems to be the Microsoft of languages - the people are re-implementing a lot of things, but without using the benefit of hindsight from other projects.
And of course - there's that statement from the creator of PHP - I want PHP to be usable by non-programmers, by people who have never written a program. So, of course you get the quality of code of people who have never written programs. In this respect, PHP is much much worse than C++ in that C++ gives you lots and lots of rope to hang yourself and everyone else, but PHP lets you make beautiful bows for the hanging.
But, you're right, the actual language is OK. Unfortunately, a shitload of php programmers are *NOT* OK.
It has. But unfortunately people who do not understand the issues are the ones making the choices. There are still a number of things it lacks. And don't you like how anyone criticizing lamps automatically get marked down. Especially the M, and P part.
Here, stupid moderators, here's another one - REDCRAP SUCKS. IT HAS ALWAYS SUCKED, AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUCK NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU MODERATE ME DOWN.
And here's a tidbit - RPMs are one of the reasons why REDCRAP SUCKS. Especially there're logged corruption issues, and RHELL's response is "ticket closed, no further action" - an example (and there are a number of others) http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2004-06/2946.html
So, if you want to kill someone the right way, all you have to do is declare war on them? How small does the scale have to be? Can you have a war on one person? Who determines if this is a war? Does things like gang wars count? What about war on poverty, does that count? Would killing convicted monopolists fall under the protection of the war on poverty?
Umm... english is my *FOURTH* language, so pardon me if I don't quite get it, but, WHERE THE FSCK IN THE ARTICLE DOES IT SAY HE WAS PART OF THE SECURITY TEAM?
He just works for the company, in a retail store, so probably not even part of IT. A person in a job that most of/. looks down upon, notices the simple things, such as, blank passwords are bad, and you go bitching about him?

Or he could believe that Vista sucks more than WinMe.

Well, I can tell you why you're wrong. But I won't, and so you will continue to be delusional. So sad.
And big movie studios make *ZERO* percent profit!!! That's why they have problems releasing good movies. They can't ever make any money off it.
So, even though they are doing something that is in their interest, and also in the interest of their customers, they must suck, because whatever it is that they are doing also benefits them?
WTF?
That "buffer" is also on the hard drive... Now you understand why they don't want you to be able to access the hard drive yourself.
And you think it's only going to be limited in this case, right? Just like all those anti-terrorism laws will only be strictly restricted to fighting terrorists. Really, you can trust us, we are the government.
are you one of those people who find some technical terms and latch on to them without understanding what it means?

If they replaced oxfam ads with pr0n ads, the results would be... interesting.

Exactly!
And, after a bit of thinking, you realize that since you always pay for it yourself, you don't even need insurance anymore, and can save that money!
Hey, did you know that 40% of all sick leave is taken on Mondays and Fridays! We should do something about that.
This is to be expected.

That's right. For real security, you want a secure platform, and a secure design/code on top of that. That means:
OpenBSD
Apache
PostgreSQL
Python
MySQL is just a database wannabe, and php is the shits for security
So, if you want to kill someone the right way, all you have to do is declare war on them? How small does the scale have to be? Can you have a war on one person? Who determines if this is a war? Does things like gang wars count? What about war on poverty, does that count? Would killing convicted monopolists fall under the protection of the war on poverty?
Thanx for any clarification.
Oh great. Another fucking "market forces solves everything". We should not have any lending laws then.
