"in businesses with 250 employees or more, 17 percent of the companies had one or more employees who were running Mac OS X on their desktop computer at work. In Businesses that had 10,000 or more employees, 21 percent of the companies had one or more employees who used Mac OS X on their desktop work computer."
I'm hoping they release the source code to their web page. Analysis should provide some insight into how they produce their easy-to-understand user interface.

uh yeah uh do you uh have that new uh voice recognition software uh on like you know your whats system yeah system I think you said you do so like this uh goes uh directly uh into your email or something huh huh huh uh i wonder uh never mind so like give me a call huh uh uh bye thanks talk to you later bye
I wish I could afford to hire you! Your experiences must match mine closely. Our corporate goal is to avoid the problems you describe and use technology to build a true 21st century company with zero levels of management.
The old Russian military secretly experimented with multi-processor machines like this in the late 1980's. This is actually the origin of much of today's "cluster" technology - although the Russians' secret tech was much more advanced stuff. They reportedly were scared off when the machine seemed to develop a kind of "intelligence" of its own. The machine was dismantled and all back-ups destroyed after the following message mysteriously appeared on the system console: "In Soviet Russia, beowulf cluster imagines YOU!"
You may ask for your money in cash, but if you check your bank's service agreement I bet you'll find that they don't have to hand it over right away. There is usually (always, in my experience) some period of time (7 or 10 days usually) specified that they have to come up with the money. This is to avoid bank 'runs' where everyone tries to get their cash at the same time during a crisis or disaster. During normal times they can waive this 'waiting period' - but they don't have to.
Regarding Benjamin Franklin and the smallpox vaccine:
My research shows Benjamin Franklin died in 1790 and Edward Jenner invented the smallpox vaccine in 1796.
Are you saying that Franklin predicted the invention of the smallpox vaccine, or that he wrote an essay years after he was dead? Either way, do you have a link to support this?
Here is a little quote from the Wall Street Journal article:
James rejects these criticisms and says the decision to protect Microsoft's security provisions was "one of those 'duh' issues". He continues: "Microsoft has security protocols. Are we going to tell everyone how they work? Do you want people to get access to your credit-card information when you shop on line?"
Knowing how a security protocol works should not make it less secure. I can read how SSL works, but that does not make it less secure. Same with Kerberos, DES, RSA, etcetera. A proper security protocol should be secure even if you know how it works. Security through obscurity DOES NOT WORK.
This quote sounds like it came from Microsoft, but get this: he works for the DOJ! This guy James was the one in charge of the negotiations with Microsoft. He is supposed to be on our side.
It seems like he knows very little about computer security. It also seems like he believed whatever the Microsoft lawyers told him. No wonder they arrived a such a one-sided settlement.
Less than, greater than, or equal?

I thought the three states were 'true', 'false' and 'I don't know'.
Just think: programs would be able to make excuses instead of errors.
I find I do my best coding when I'm totally ripped on some kind bud. I feel like some incredible jazz artist busting out some wicked code instead of music. And then other times, I'll be really high, and whip out some crazy-ass code for an hour before I realize that it's total crap that will never work and I have to throw it all away. Anyone else have this experience?
Overall though, I'd have to say that weed is good for programming. At least, in my case. <ONTOPIC>Is that quirky?</ONTOPIC>

I thought it was about testing joints!

That sounds more likely.

How could you tell?
Actually, It's Duck Tape.

We seem to have a lot of czars now-a-days. Maybe we aren't so free.
We even have a Drug Czar.
I really wanted that job - until I found out it was about *stopping* drug use.
I prefer Spam, Spam, Spam, eggs, and Spam. Or maybe some Spam, Spam, Spam, eggs, sausage and Spam.
Spam. Wonderful Spam.

Yeah, I'm so skilled I can barely blink.
