So why should we just go ahead and capitulate ownership? I mean, seriously? I'm all for helping out the world and all that, but I'm getting just a little sick and tired of everybody else trying to steal all our stuff.
Wrong. These laser systems work by interfering with the logic in the IR seeker of the missile. The people who build these systems are just a little better informed about this than you.
I see no benefit to a GPL Java over the existing licenses from Sun at all, unless you're trying to integrate it at a low level into something like PostgreSQL or MySQL as a trigger/stored proc language.
I'll tell you one thing: window functions. They're useful for reducing the number of subqueries you have to use in certain situations useful in reporting, among other things. You can find a number of good examples of the use of window functions in Anthony Molinaro's SQL Cookbook.
I was responding to your notion that Google fixed a "Google Desktop bug," which you agree is also wrong. A more accurate title might be, "Google works around IE Bug." You inferred a more than I implied.
The title sounds as if Google had fixed a bug in Internet Explorer's code. Shouldn't it be "Google fixes Google Desktop bug"?
Not really. The flaw is in IE and Google's use of CSS exposed it to their users. They were able to change their use of CSS to work around the exploit, but the exploit still remains in IE. Even Microsoft admits that.
That's your argument? They both suck, but Ford sucks more? How does this address the responsibility that Microsoft should have for making its products perform correctly? Sheesh -- you Microsoft apologists are just too much.
I think you may be wrong when you consider floating point performance, which I suspect is the key driver here. From what I have seen googling around a little, Itanium 2 is better than Opteron on floating point computations.
Thanks for the info. I'll try it out. I'm downlowding KANOTIX, which supposedly has WiFi enabled using ndiswrapper on a bootable CD. I'm going to test that out, too.
Your attitude is well justified, but I think the folks at Microsoft would not agree with you. It would be a PR nightmare for them even though, technically speaking, they're not at fault. My guess is that they're trying to figure out ways to deal with this whole mess gracefully.
Do you have a resource for a Broadcom wireless driver? I'm running Mandrake 10 on my Acer Aspire 1712, and I don't know how to get the wireless adapter to work. It's not that big a deal for me, but if I can get it to work, I'll do it.
Australia is a special case. Nobody lives in the interior. They all live on the coasts. And roads outside the cities are pretty bad, or so I've been told by an Australian visitor. So they have reduced the problem to essentially one dimension.
Having said that, their population is considerably smaller, so it's still a pretty impressive feat. However, because of the way the population is distributed in Australia, you cannot really compare their population density to ours.

I'm an American, and I know quite a few Indians, and they tell me that government in India is very corrupt. They have even shown me articles from online editions of Indian newspapers lamenting the situation. It seems to me that government corruption in India is a very real problem, and until the people there are able to do something about it, it will hamper India's efforts to truly modernize their entire society. Note that I have never been to India, so I don't know any of this first hand. However, as I mentioned, my Indian friends volunteer this information to me. So I suspect that the problem is a bit more serious than you seem to be suggesting.
You can't have control over Microsoft, and that kind of free trade at the same time.
True enough. The problem is that Microsoft is a monopoly, and one that has illegally abused its monopoly position repeatedly. That's where antitrust comes into play. And that's why there need to be external controls placed on Microsoft. If Microsoft behaved more like a good corporate citizen, there would be no need for government intervention. It's their behavior that forces government's hand.
You're wasting your time trying to appeal to reason with this crowd. Their hatred for all things Bush has driven away any possibility of rational discourse. The best thing I like about Bush is that he drives them absolutely crazy.
The vast majority (certainly the loudest) pundits these days make their living by selling their own point of view, and loudly denouncing the other side without ever understanding or even knowing about their arguments.
I think you have been listening to the wrong pundits.

I agree with Python, and be sure to check out ActiveStates's Komodo Edit as your development environment.

Amen to PJF. I love both those series and several more by him. The River World series is clearly one of the all time best SF series.

Try multiplying that by about 100-1000. The largest freighters displace more than 100,000 tons, and supertankers can displace several times that.

Is it true that if you have autorun disabled on your CD drive, you probably won't notice a thing?
