Well, I think they claim theshelves as a non-profit organization which come to protect the interest of businesses so that they could pay more tax. However, the idiots of our Government failed to see that they actually come to plunder the country by forcing its citizens to buy expensive software and no matter how high the price they set, them still have to buy them.
Google for list of places/countries they've plundered. Only those idiots wouldn't check the fact.
Fork in the road II Assume each person is standing on his respective road. "Is one of you a liar?" Yes means he's a truth teller, no means he's a liar.
This is not the standard answer, but it's logically correct. How smart you are.
The standard answer is, the man ask one of the boy "If I asked the other boy which road is leading to village A, what will he answer?" Any of them will point you to the wrong road.
In case you haven't been 'harrassed' by BSA before, they'll first send your company a letter to offer 'free audit' of your computer system, failure to comply might result in legal action. They seem to have their way to get the local government(even outside US) to their side and they could really get the court warrent if they like. Therefore most companies would let them in.
They wouldn't take immediate action when they caught your company using software you are not licensed for(well, it always be the case in a big company). However, within three days M$ would mysterically 'see' your difficulities and offered you a 5 years lock-in contract in order to waive your legal responsibility of using unlicense software. Great, you don't need to face that 2 years jailing and $5000 fine for each unlicensed software used.
How nice they are...but wait, how did M$ know my situation, where did they get our information? It shouldn't be BSA, they promised to our government that the information they got from our Government are kept confidential, and M$ sales said they just do the cold call it. Well, is that my guardian angel save me again by giving an emergency call to M$?

.NET is in fact one of the implementation of WS. In case you didn't realize, regardless of what Microsoft claims, SOAP-RPC of WS in.NET is unfinished. You'd rather go with.NET for RPC.
Note that WS does not define implementation(and WS-I is pretty young), therefore I'm not surprise.NET 'embrace' it.:)

Besides, I think a lot of people has mixed the concept of Web Services(WS) with.NET. WS is a interoperability framework, while.NET aims to cover all aspect of computing, while remains to use a single protocol for communication.
People jokingly said, in this regard,.NET is attempting to 'dominate the world'. However, this is pretty much the only way of doing things if MS wanted to do what they planned.
It might be too complicated and confusing to explain without an example: suppose we'd like to implement Remote Procedure Call over the Web, with WS both ends must have SOAP-rpc defined and implemented so as to call each other, but they don't need to implement WS from the same vendor(theorotically). With.NET, you must have.NET on both end.
To be honest, in term of robustness of both models(if.NET's stability doesn't count),.NET wins. For the openness, WS win, as it doesn't need to be bounded on a single vendor solution(again, theorotically).
(I know rpc is a bad example as CORBRA seems to beat them hand down and it's a proven technology...well, the other story)
.net is simply recognizing the reality that the Internet is a dynamic medium, and it requires a new way of designing programs; a way that makes using the Web identical to using your computer locally. All of the examples I just gave can be done now with existing programming tools on any platform, but.net makes it much easier and more straightforward.
Am I the only one believes that things shouldn't be worked this way? We rely on the very same company who open up the opportunities of exploiting thousands security holes to bring the majority closer to the Web? If you makes web experience too transparent to users then more and more security problems would be surface. Do not expect all users know what they are doing.
If/when the time comes that Microsoft decides to cut off.net for Apache support, Mono will be ready to take its place.
If Microsoft chose to cut it off from Apache, then I don't think Mono could go on. What if the same thing happened to NTFS happen to any part of.NET? Apache and Mono will be screwed then.
Forgive me if I'm being too paranoid in this, but in view of the track record of MS in security and legalese, I don't have much confidence in the future of non-MS implementation of.NET.
Nevertheless.NET will shine in MS platform though, I must admit.

It's quite amazing, but not a joke. The beep sound on startup actually tells you what's wrong with the system. If you've picked up any (decent) PC DIY book there should have one section telling you what the beeps mean.

At the start of each new school year, Microsoft hits our campus hard. They hang big banners, set up booths in the student center, and get the managers to make the on-campus computer store employees wear Microsoft t-shirts.
It wasn't hit hard enough. Talking about hitting hard, Microsoft just started a new lab in our campus - a new LAB. Can you imagine how it'd like? It has white marble on the outer wall, auto-glass door, a big shiny "MICROSOFT" logo 5m in front of it, and a fountain. Yes! A real FOUNTAIN that blow WATER out of that fucking holes!! A lab with fountain!!!!!
Looking closely it has a little electronic device which can fit a card on it, and a little camera just little above it. I wonder if it serves the same purpose as we've seen in "Future Report" - "BEEEEEP Welcome Richard, do you like the Microsoft Office Student edition we've offered you at student price so that you could put your soul in the box with it?"
We pretty much need a pair of new eyeballs to get inside, so we start imagine what'd be like inside - fine lines of benches on which lines of 17" plasma computer monitors rest on; people with suits and glasses in front of them with drinks on the table, which is served by blonde waitresses who wear short skirt asking repeatedly "What do you want to be served today?".
Behind them there'd be a dartboard with Linus Torvalds' face on the wall and several disemboweled penguins hanging down the ceiling above.

My vote to CodingStyle
Yang = aflutter
Fan = jib or foresail
Thus, Yangfan = driving sail
Qi = start
Hang = a route, a sail
Thus, QiHang = sailing, or start sailing
The article said both mean 'set sail'...well, figuratively they are.
