On a more serious note, I don't think this will stop MS from coming out with a version2.0 of this sometime or another. Maybe next thing you know they'll embed it into the OS:)
It seems that they didn't listen when Niklaus Wirth started preaching or is there another reason that their system is such a mess?
It might not happen in our lifetimes

but all empires eventually die. The Mongol, Ming, Roman, British and Nazi empires all disappeared. The American empire will go that way one day as well.
I don't know if there is any common denominator in the rise and fall of an empire but none of them were eternal. The article that someone else here linked to by those two chinese colonels is thought provoking and shows a lot of depth. They point out that you can fight wars with other weapons than high-tech gizmos. As an example I would point at the virtual stock exchange collapse after the 9/11, where only four aircraft were used against civilian and military American targets. Any greater desaster could very easily provoke a complete collapse of the stock exchange and who then would be able to pay for all those shiny satellites and missiles?
er...how come this didn't get a -1

I've used one of these here in europe. They work very well and they are a bit more practical than the treo due the telephone screen being seperate from the application screen.
Quite a few other countries have had this as standard equipment on their fighters for quite a while now. Some stories: 1. Russian fighters since the Mig-29 and the Su-27 have had this. In addition the Su-33 and onwards have a rearward looking radar between the engines in order to fire missiles "over the shoulder". 2.The Eurofighter has this as standard as does the Saab Griffen and the Dassault Rafael. 3.Obviously, the Israelis have had this for a long time. Probably the same one that is now being advertised as being from the US. It's probably the other way around: that the missile is from the US and the helmet from Israel. The US and Israel do quite a lot of military technology exchange. They have also jointly developed a tactical anti-missile laser. 4.Funnily enough, the apartheid regime in South Africa, where I come from, dveloped a helmet mounted site for IR missiles in the 80's. I remember them bragging about it on TV. After the government changed to a more democratic one in the 90's the US government tried to blackmail the South African into handing over the technology, which means that the US didn't have their own up until then.
One does tend to ask oneself why the world's largest military machine was incapable of developing something like this itself until recently.
After their Linux desaster last year - can anyone point to someone who actually believed any of their FUD in the anti-linux campaign? - and given that they are losing big money on their xbox and that winxp is not the huge hit they wanted it to be I think this must be an act of desperation. There are enough loopholes that this can be circumvented legally and if MS carries on this manner I can imagine companies simply not upgrading their MS server software.
What company (those big enough and those intelligent enough to read the licence) can actually have any incentive to use MS' server software?
1.What *real* business advantages does any new MS server offer that is not adequately covered by existing products? 2.What advantages do companies have in spending money on the product *and* a technician/admin compared to a Linux/BSD server product that requires *only* a technician/admin (software costs being negligable on the latter)? 3.At what point do MS licences become so unwieldly (WPA/IPRimparing etc) that it becomes impractical for it's customers to use MS software? 4.At what point does the prevalence of an OSS solution in the industry mean that an initiatve of MS is doomed before it even begins due to lack of traction with the industry?
If I were doing any aquisition I would ask myself some questions like these.
I just wrote a mail to Music informing them that I will never again buy a Sony product, any Sony product. They treat me and my Mac like dirt - fine I can do that too.
a lawyer to destroy any incentive for invention. I think that if there is If there is anything in your country that will one day make the US a technnological backwater it will be American laws giving lawyers so much power.
At the moment it is in a balance in that people who invent have a large incentive to make an enormous amount of money but will that always be so?
have recently determined that amino acids (protein building block molecules) are formed in a vacuum which would perhaps mean that most life would be formed on the same basis as we are, perhaps it would be easier to look for old radio transmissions and TV-signals as SETI does. Have the people at SETI ever done any modelling to see what our old TV-signals would look like 10 light years from earth?
Another thing that might be vital to life on earth might simply be the fact that we have such a large moon acting as both a shield to a lot of asteroidal bombardment and as a planetary motor for tides,winds and life in general.
This reminds me very much of Java webstart. The security model is also similar in that runtime verification is done.
However, unlike Java, I think this might be very successful on the desktop and might release an avalanche of Applications and I certainly wish it luck and wish to congratulate the developers. The only problem that I can see is that it uses GTK+ which will make it difficult to port.
For all those who kept on dissing Mozilla, perhaps now is the time to have a rethink.
Or do you have absolutely no female friends? I (male) have quite a few female friends and they all indulge in what you would refer to as sexist talk, talking about how well the guy does it, what they like, what they don't like, if the guy has a good butt etc.
So in response to your claim "She is typical female bitch whoc can't stand the talk of sex" I would say that no, you are an atypical female as most enjoy sex and can have a good laugh about it.
It is not an excuse for sexual abuse or sexism, but here in Switzerland, at least, a recent study indicated that fully 40% of all couple meet one another in the workplace. That means, flirting, chatting and all the other things that go towards what makes the human race procreate. A part of that will certainly include what you call sexism but it is part of life and works both ways.
At the last place I worked I had a female collegue continually pestering me for a date although I had a partner. Would that have been included under the heading of sexism? Sonner or later I had no choice but to politely but firmly tell her that I had a partner and would rather not have her attention. After that she did her best to get me fired, which I eventually was.
is what you seem to be anthy./. articles are a mix of everything from science to software to treefrog mating and the stories are written in by human beings.
It's people like you that make being part of a couple hell on earth because one wonders if you are complaining about a harmless story like this, what you will be complaining about in your everyday life.
with your users would get you much further more quickly. If you do user support you should know what your customers are running and should be able to realise that for many people the world consists of more than just computers.
For that matter you can replace quicktime as well. They are not critical to the functioning of Mac OSX. The finder in OSX is just another application.
There is a little hack that has been around for a while now for OSX whereby you write a 2 line script and after logging into the console from the login window by entering >console, you start the script which starts the window manager and the terminal and Voila! No finder, no dock, no desktop, just a terminal window. You can start any programme you like from the terminal. It's great. It saves memory and takes away needless nitty gritty.

It will mean another language that can do everything but one with documentation so arcane that no one will ever use it again.

"How can you expect Israel to roll over and die because Palestinians are "underarmed"??"
Maybe it's about time the Israelis did do some rolling over.
Who the "bad people" are depends on which perspective you are looking from.

From what I read on the website it uses GTK+ which, at the moment in any case, means that it would only run under XDarwin.
I do wish those guys porting the GTK+ to Cocoa luck. It would really make a whole load of applications suddenly useful.
This reminds me very much of Java webstart. The security model is also similar in that runtime verification is done.
However, unlike Java, I think this might be very successful on the desktop and might release an avalanche of Applications and I certainly wish it luck and wish to congratulate the developers. The only problem that I can see is that it uses GTK+ which will make it difficult to port.
