Why is this any worse the countless number of sites that require Flash - another proprietary, single source, application? I'd say the number of sites that are useless without Flash is far larger than the number of sites that require IE.
I guess this being/. and Adobe not being Microsoft that's okay.
The iPod was a released product in the support phase, meaning they should have the resouces to dealing with upgrades and new feastures. Not a product still in development, as the Zune was, devoting resources to getting to launch day.
And the Zune - a consumer product - STILL had Vista support before Vista was released to consumers whereas the iPod still hasn't gotten there.
99.9% of users do NOT need a password, nor do they have one. They rely on the use of the Common Access Card (CAC) and certificate based logon. This provides two-factor authentication, something you have, the CAC and something you know, a 6 digit PIN for the CAC.
The horrendous 15 character passwords are required for privileged accounts and the VERY rare situation where a user cannot use CAC authentication. Having a laptop is NOT one of those situtations, my GFE laptop has a smart card reader in it and is accessed via CAC.
So does anyone know where to send e-mail (perhaps the state bar association) pointing out that Ms. Horn, a lawyer, is critizing the fact that the law was followed and perhaps Ms. Horn needs a refresher on the basics?
You are offering a version of authors argument - that perhaps mind is non-physical and apart from the physical object, the brain. But you offer no proof of such a claim whereas the reviewer is under no such burden - he's not assuming the existence of something non-verifiable (a non-physical mind) he only assuming the existence of physical objects, computers and brains.
"Sadly the networks cannot condone properly taking care of the needs of the end users. That wouldn't be fiscally responsible to their pockets."
Do you think that programs appear out of thin air created by the MagicTVFairy(tm)?
Someone has to pay for the materials and skills that go into creating a show such as Mythbusters. When you download a show from bittorrent you have recieved the benefit of those materials and skills and given ABSOLUTELY NOTHING back in return.
Grow up and realize that you aren't entitled to everything you want for free.
Survivors get access to your real world stuff when you die even if you didn't give them rights when you were alive, why should the virtual world be any different?
Bank accounts, real property - everything you own - becomes part of your estate. Your estate becomes the property of your heirs after you die so why wouldn't your information be treated in the same fashion?
You're analogy is completely wrong, and therefore so is your conclusion.
Lightbulbs use the same amount of electricity, and therefore cost the owner the same amount no matter how many people are reading by the light of that bulb.
More people using a Wi-Fi spot consumes bandwidth, meaning that less is available for the owner of the hotspot. You are using up some of the resource - that he paid for - that would not otherwise be used. If you do this without the owners permission that is theft.
You can buy ecrypted texts if you wish, but there is a tool available to convert an HTML document into the RocketBook format which you can then load onto any eBook.
In our organization the rule is one new Exchange server for every 1000 mailboxes, i.e. 1 NT Server = 1000 clients. and we typically see uptimes of over 99%.
I saw an article a while back that said the typical uptimes for NT experience by different shops differed by a factor of ten. Those shops who practiced configuration control a la the old Mainframe days saw the best uptimes.
Anyone who "fixes" NT by re-installing the OS on a regular basis isn't qualified for his job.
We typically see uptimes between 90-180 days for our NT servers and except for user error (never load an x86 driver on a Alpha box) don't re-install operating systems.
Even if GNOME and KDE were abandoned and replaced with voice recognition there would still be people unable to use the system.
It's not the interface that's the problem, it's the people. The interface (CLI, GUI, VR) is a way to manipulate an abstraction to perform a task.
The problem is not that there people don't know how to manipulate the abstraction, the problem is that they have no clue what task(s) they want to perform.

Fewer than the number of linux kernel revisions out there.
Either you're a troll or you don't understand the difference between revisions and forks. Either way your comment is irrelevant.

Ordered it Sep 17th, and it arrived Oct 22.
So why does everyone assume that it's Microsoft that is to blame whenever an application running on an NT server fails?
Everything you've said concerning poor application design cuts both ways.
All I can offer is anectdotal evidence.
