Sure, it's possible with IM to be "on the phone" with multiple people all over the world simultaneously. It's just if you actually want to communicate with all of them, that you have a problem.
I can't remember mine. I used ICQ a little but rapidly got bored with it. I guess it's a generational thing. I still think IM combines the worst parts of the phone and email (interrupting, but still requires typing). Of course, send collisions are unique to IM.
Like many ideas of that time, page description languages were used at Xerox before the more famous implementations were created. Press and Interpress predate Postscript and PDF (which makes perfect sense since the founders of Adobe were former Xerox employees).
it's if having a model is right. There's no reason to assume that prior market data contains information that can accurately predict the market in the future.
The real issue is why the farmer doesn't have the means to plant a crop and the bank does. Making money by loaning money to those who don't have it is self-propagating inefficiency.
If the market for food can't sustain farmers then it won't matter what the banks do.
It had little to do with the change in administrations.
The original judge (who's judgment in a prior case against MS had been thrown out on appeal) had made prejudicial statements about the case to the media. Given that his replacement didn't buy into his conclusions, supports the idea that it was more than the appearance of prejudice against MS.
It all depends and how you "cook" the market definition. MS couldn't be considered a monopoly if servers were included in the market, so they were excluded. If you define a market called "Mac compatible", then Apple becomes a monopoly. It all depends on who did the best lobbying of the government.
The problem is the EU doesn't really want MS to comply, they just want to fine them. So they don't really specify what MS is supposed to do because if they did, MS might do it.
There's a long history of browsers breaking or extending standards. Javascript, AJAX, and other capabilities would not exist if standards had been religiously followed. Standards work when they codify existing practice - they're not an effective means of planning for the future.
With about 66% of the world using IE, it is the de facto standard whether or not it's a good one. The WC3 has it's own agenda and it's not an organization who's decisions are inherently superior to those of browser makers.
The problem is that the human body has already been designed. Phones won't replace laptops and desktops because the ergonomics of the phone are wrong.
Sure, you can add an external keyboard and monitor to a smart phone and if it's powerful enough it becomes a general purpose computer in modular form. So what?
It's the keyboard and monitor that make it suitable for most tasks with the form-factor just a detail. Then you detach the keyboard and monitor and it becomes a mobile device with degraded functionality.

Thanks. My obscure point is that even if UNIX had GUIs, the hard-core UNIX users didn't want to admit it.
We have no GUIs in Iran.

It's understandable. XanC is really Alanis Morissette.
Right. We no longer have to go to computer swap meets to get CD porn.

On the other hand, those who created the insecure Internet do suffer for it, so perhaps there's some justice after all.

Improper use of pointers in C is the number 1 cause of programs that appear to work when they really don't.
If you think that multiplication and pointer dereferencing are the only things in C that use a '*', perhaps you should follow your own advice.

Overloading symbols is often a negative aspect. C would be a much easier language to read if "*" had a single meaning.

The browser issue is now just an EU concern. The US government repeatedly lost on the issue of IE being bundled with Windows.

It's a red fruit.

Thanks for the non-informative reply!
