Some employers actually HIRE people for their skills. I don't get yelled at when I demonstrate the computer knowledge I am supposed to have, I get promoted. You might consider acquiring an employer with a clue.
It seems to me that a large portion of the inherent costs of a system like this is the hardware. What are your per-audience-member costs for a typical system? Maybe a bunch of wireless palms and a smallish pc server could do the deed?
Actually, the info-namespace component of the uri should be normalized to lowercase, and I believe you need to escape the slash between the info-namespace and the identifier. See section 5 of the draft for more information. Maybe you just wanted to use the un-normalized form....
No. Maybe I'm not a good programmer, but I've got someone fooled then. I've seen some pretty decent wrappers of Win32, though MFC aint one of them. By typing. No.
I do.
I currently use, among other things, Visual Studio.Net 2003, WSAD 5, Delphi 7, TextPad and XmlSpy. If they are weak in comparison to the tools you mention, I do not notice it. I notice in other posts of yours that you seem not to prefer staticly typed dynamically bound languages, so I doubt we'll see eye to eye much on anything.
I do appreciate the ability to do those things and I enjoy them where possible, which is more than you probably give credit for.
Not having an utter lack of control of the software I use, I do not mind.
Now, to an extent, some or all of these points might be raised in an argument against Windows. But there is an undeniable sense of where I am most productive. I'm not asking you to follow my choice, I'm asking you to respect my right to make it.
Hmmm. This whole OSS business is supposed to engender, among other things, choice.
Now, for various reasons, some geek, some pragmatic, some even business-like, I - a die-hard Windows user/programmer of over 10 years - am interested in Linux. Not to the exclusion of Windows, hoever.
It's not necessary to call us whores. Not all of us. At worst, there are the vast majority who think there is no choice, and they certainly need to be educated. But, having educated myself on the alternatives, I still choose to use Windows, and damned if I will apologize for it. If you want to convert the intelligent Windows geeks, (we're out there, lost in a sea of clue-bies) you might want to consider that we're worth a little respect.
By the way, I'm loading Mandrake on a virtual as I type this.
Far more predictable:
Cost to transport all the IP SCO claims to own via space elevator? $100M
Cost to transport all the moral fibre SCO execs currently posses? $.02
Cost to transport unprotected SCO execs?
Priceless.

does the distribution of some PCI 802.11b adapters qualify? some of them are just a PCMCIA card hard-wired to a cirrus logic adapter chip. Otherwise...I imagine that there are a few systems that implemented smart-card security via PCMCIA smart cards that still have PCMCIA slots in desktops.
The problem here is that the Windows driver model allows the driver to check what program is making calls into it. This is not a bad thing by itself, so I wouldn't advocate getting rid of it.
Hey, this aint MSDN. Get your priorities straight!
The point of the exercise was to demonstrate the fallacy in the popular opinion that electric drive vehicles are lacking in power. With a transmission, stiff, balanced frame, and all wheel drive, this technology demo could become exciting. Of course any of those cars could beat it in oval track or rally.
What you say about say about causing your enemy to dilute his efforts is very insightful, and I agree with it. From that standpoint, it makes sense to believe that a terrorist organization will attack a $2B carbon ribbon at the equator. But will it cause massive loss of life? Will it change lives? Will it engender fear in the hearts of the infidels? No. That's why I believe that ultimately, in the current global political climate, a space elevator is in a position of mitigated risk from terrorist attack.
Often, the goal of a terrorist activity is to incite terror - hence the name. Hence the reason 9/11 was such a success for the terrorists. In that sense, NYC - and to a lesser extent the rest of the federated republic of America - does not function the same. The terrorists engendered fear. They attacked the heart of their perceived enemy, and that attack was successful.
An attack on a remote freight elevator that happens to extend out to geosynchronous orbit would not engender the same psychological effect.

Hopefully, so does your compiler. ;)

Hyperthreading doesnt really count? I didn't see the benchmark that you derrived that little gem from. Any hard data?
Yes.

Even if its not FUD, its FUD if you don't cite it or specify it.
how appropriate that it's Nebraska Wesleyan...

The public perception is that it isn't wrong. My $.02.
Reminds me of this nice little gem by Thomas Saur.
