Just because it's the most popular does not make it the best. I mean, look at MSWindows...
Besides, the Original bittorrent client was written in Python, not Java. There's a reason for that. Maybe the programmer would not have done it at all in Java, and never created BitTorrent. Python is a great prototyping language, and "great hackers" like it because it hardly gets in the way of a quick hack.
If I had an idea on the way home from work, and wanted to hammer it out in 15 minutes on the olde pc "just to see", I certainly would not use java.
3 classes offered in subject A, 40 students each. Order 120 books.
at end of year, 60 are returned. Order another 60 for the second year.
at the end of the second year, 60 are returned. Order 60 more fo the third year. BUT, oh wait, the old edition has been discontinued. We don't have that one anymore.
So you end up 120 of the new version, because you don't have enough books for all the students in the class.
The publishing company is the one in the driver's seat.
You know who's pissed off? The Nepalese communist rebels. They've been blockading the capital Katmandu now for 2 days and no mention of it in the news. Even the 1.5 million people in the city don't find it amusing, and food prices are climbing steadily.
Of course, the 16 year old from texas who can jump gets the coverage.
I use my TV as a viewing device for my DVD player.
I could imagine mozilla+skin/theme for corporate users called something like: "Advanced Internet Client 2004"
It should also be pay, and be packaged, and shippable. Also, an administrator guide should be put together to show network admins how to customize, deploy, and maintain it.
Finally, I would imagine that resellers should be able to carry it to handle corporate orders. (a lot of companies order through resellers exclusively)
It stresses the metal of the engine because of the rapid change in torque load. When the engine is stressed, things break. it can develop oil leaks, break seals, knock out valves, etc.
It's not that common because without a working cluch, generally the car won't go, so it gets fixed. But a slipping clutch can stress the engine.
The other cost is to retrain developers not to use VB, and something else instead, as well as the cost of excel users moving their vba macros and modules to oo's brand of basic.
When someone asks you to fix a 12 year old car with problems that can't easily be fixed, will break again, and whose value keeps falling, you tell them that it would be cheaper for them to buy a newer car, no?
Tell him you'll not help him with his computers anymore until he uses firefox+Thunderbird.
Next time his machine crashes and stays down, tell him you don't wanna hear about it.
It's cold, but if my friend told me his car's engine died because he wouldn't fix the clutch, after I'd told him what would happen if he didn't fix it, then I would just shrug and mutter: "I told you so", and let him buy a new one.
You know, people don't care about security because it does not cost them enough.
Charge $300 per hour for computer security repair. If they balk at the price, tell them to go elsewhere.
The germans are generally considered to produce the finest things in the world on a technological standpoint. They also recognize the finest things, technologically. People all over the world (and there are) know this.
I contend that while Linux may cost more than windows in TCO, it is a better investment because it is a better, more reliable product.
Not to mention that a lot more money stays in the country when linux is used, and that always affect the elected ones.
You're a helicopter pilot in a city that has 2 helicopter companies. You lose you job at company A making 80K per year, yet can't work at company B for 80,000 because of a non-compete agreement.
Instead, you do something else: clerk at Vons for 6.75/hr because, let's face it, you don't know much else besides flying a helicopter.
So, you can't send your kid to college after all, you loose the house cuz you can't pay the mortgage, your wife leaves you two weeks after you move into a nasty apartment for 300 a month, and your beamer gets repoed.

Too many people keep the textbooks.

Sort of like the Tet offensive? Wait until everybody is enchanged by the five rings, and strike a blow...

It would be a lot more fun if the rock wasn't there in the morning.
Yeah, because Canada was north Montana, and that's where the world ends...

Oh wait, that wasn't 800 years ago, that was today on
What do you mean bug them with an email? I just take my business elsewhere and let them wallow in their blissful ignorance.
They don't pay me to give them business advice.
Hum, you must have misquoted.
The pope would have said: "Real, suck my holy b@lls".
Excellent. Thanks for the info.
complication? A Freudian slipperhaps? Ahem hummm...
I think you meant "complexity".
Maybe, but no ads. Remember, corporate, not ads to distract the lusers
I echo the same sentiment.

No. but neither do they go to jail.
Tis the perfect time. They'll read the book before they get back and have a full year to practice.
Dang that is so old.
Or should it be:
Dang, zat ist zoh old. Musthaben kommen frum ein BBS, Noh?
WinME was never "Extremely Popular".

it's not a bad idea, just costly.
In the very long run though, you save money, because you don't have to keep buying software.
well, that is a cost.
The other cost is to retrain developers not to use VB, and something else instead, as well as the cost of excel users moving their vba macros and modules to oo's brand of basic.

There is another factor.

OK, but the job will pay the same, right?
Oh, and being a good engineer does not make one a good manager.

because when a guy is stretched into a hospital emergency room after a car accident, he might not have $28,000 in cash in his wallet
