could it be because apple leaves people behind? When apple builds something whether it is the iMac, or iPod or iWhatever, they usually target it at a specific group of customers. And they do it every well, an excellent product that sells really well for that particular group, however there are a whole other bunch of people who just don't fit in there and MS seems to gobble them up.
I don't think it is ugly but it certainly isn't spectacular in any way. My first impression was just a blank unimpressed stare. What's the big fuss over what is basically a monitor plus a few components tucked behind it. My crt monitor alone is bigger than the entire computer!
but to each his own I guess, I personally prefer driving a durango over some puny little electric car (no matter how cool it is)
Fact 21: For every 25% increase in problem complexity, there is a 100% increase in solution complexity.
Fact 37: Rigorous inspections [code reviews] can remove up to 90% of errors before the first test case is run.
Fallacy 10: You teach people how to program by showing them how to write programs. Why don't we teach them to read programs first? Good question (and he has a few possible answers).
FACT: a piece of information presented as having objective reality - in fact : in truth
fact 21 & 37 are not facts. He's just throwing about numbers.

hrm I don't think so. My just made up theory is that when you feel you've been wronged, your brain automatically comes up with a solution to rectify the situation. When the situation is rectified you achieve the satisfaction of it.
I code in asp.net pretty much use many windows/ms related products but IE is just virus on many systems. My brother-in-law had 2 computers all infected with spyware and crap, he brought the first one, after fixing it I put netscape on it and told him to use it. About a week later he brought in the second system and he was so happy about the previous one working so well and loving netscape and all. No longer does he have to put up with pictures of naked women whenever he tries to browse the web.
I only managed to install mozilla on his second pc though. There is a stupid bug with netscape where it won't run if windows restores the registry. It has to do with profiles, pretty lame if you ask me. who uses those stupid profiles anyways. I tried all the fixes until I gave up and just installed mozilla. Seems to be working well.
Now if there was a button to make IE just disappear completely..
why are obvious non slashdot readers allowed to submit stories anyways? it seems the people to blame are those submitting the dupes. If they read slashdot they would know the damn thing was the third dupe

no components of the system are vulnerable. It's like running a program with a buffer over that listens on ports under LOCAL_SYSTEM. What is happening here is IE firmly plants itself as an administrator and adds an insecure layer of its own protection. By taking advantage of this you can gain system level access. If you don't run IE you won't have these problems but as IE is almost part of the system it is unavoidable..
they predict canada will get only 2 medals in athens. We already have one so looks like it will be slim pickings from now on lol
There is a simple reason why Canada does not perform well in the games. Absolute lack of support from the general population/government/business for the athletes. The collective conciousness in Canada seems to want to dump every bit on money into the blackhole called health care. Everything else doesn't matter, even the military is abandoned.
In autralia they think differently, they spend billions on the athletic programs and military and less on themselves.
Any country that wants to do well in the olympics will with enough money invested. Those that don't seem to do well tend not to be interested in the medal count anyways.
It looks like only the big corporations can make big money out of open source. Granted the rest of us poor losers get software for free but nothing else from the effort, while the big corps put in no effort and reap big money.
it cost you 750,000$ and one life. Was that worth it? I don't care how much heart you pour into something safety should always be first. Human life is much more valuable than your measley 750k

it is a harddrive with a phone!
it prevents some idiot like EOLAS from coming along and sueing them for 1 billion dollars because they used a patent filed by the idiot
more importantly who was the idiot that decided to put a space station in the hurricane state

wrong. There must be truth to state something is a fact.
"The earth's moon is made from green cheese" is not a fact, it is a fallacy.
"The earth is flat" is not a fact, it is a fallacy.
I was quoting the book, not the review.
Since the book is the one stating the fact, the onus is on the writer to provide the data to back up his "facts"

some people didn't study to code to answer the phone
huh? software didn't always cost money? since when?
