I want the market for that to dry up, because the whole concept of a manufactured youth-culture is destructive to society as a whole and it deserves to be destroyed.
Amen brother.
It's degraded to the point that our corporate-centric society is practically breeding American youth like cattle, both in the market of culture and the market of ideas.
For example, if your system only ever used basic CRUD functionality, on a row-by-row basis (like a huge amount of systems), you wouldn't even need transactions at the db layer at all.
I'm surprised you'd say that accounting systems are a class of application that can do without transactions! In fact, they're commonly used to illustrate the importance of transactions: an interrupted balance transfer transaction either means your customer loses money or gains money erroneously.
News for people that don't need the Liberal elite telling us how to think. Go read the new book called "Bias"... you might learn something. Or you'll just end up calling me a but wipe.
Or a presumptive idiot. Who can't spell "butt". But you're doing a great job of parroting what you've been told.
I didn't say a word about politics. I'm talking about the news FORMAT, TV personality behavior ("reporter" and "news anchor" are completely inappropriate terms), etc. Especially those insipid shitheads who do Fox's morning chat show or whatever it is.
It's a general trend that is infecting other news programs as well, including CNN. I call it the Foxification of all news. Sensationalized Hardcopy-like story setups, that damn "swoosh", or "chu-wonggg" sound that sounds like someone just threw a knife into someone's forehead.
Or the despicable info-box headlines. I actually saw one on CNN about Omar that said "Big Talk - Done Walked". If the monkey whose job it is to write those things ever was a real news employee, he must spend a lot of nights at the kitchen table with a gun in his mouth wondering what the hell happened to his life.
Can "News Hour" on PBS be far behind, now that they are whoring for Archer Daniels Midland? Maybe not. There is no escape from the non-stop sea-to-shining-sea marketing mind-fuck machine.
Still, you have supersonic, ballistic shrapnel, and still, you have it landing full-speed on the target.
If the shell is directed at an even marginally hardened target, you'd much rather have a bunch of tiny, dispersed bits of metal (burning off their momentum agaist air resistance with their much greater overall surface area) than a massive, explosively-armed charge burying itself into your position, then detonating.
The U.S. also has an anti-satellite laser weapon that has been tested and confirmed to work by overloading the circuits -- and it was nixed because of the poltical tension it would create.
The coming space-weapons arms race with China will probably make political tensions irrelevant.
I could go on and on and on, but the conclusion is clear. Linux is not an option for any one who seeks a professional OS with high performance, scalability, stability, adherence to standards, etc.
You could go on, but it's the end of a workday and you have to punch the ol' Microsoft time clock.
Me wonders - given SONICBlue's flamboyant flaunting and flouting of The Media interests - and now this patent - could SONICBlue be a media industry trojan horse?
Conspiracies, conspiracies everywhere.
This is a step away from the "unix-way" with small exchangeable intercooperable aplications
Problem is that the unix way with small applications sucks ass when you're trying to do your work in an intuitive way. Evolution offers a sensible, unified layout that's easy to work with.
Ideally, different applications could plug into Evo to provide the same functions as the native components - in this case, Evo's "specialized" function becomes a UI "unifier" or "integrator" shell for other components, which is consistent with the Unix philosophy while offering the advantages of a monolithic app.
Furthermore, in places where they want a Unix solution but are forced to go with Microsoft because the CEO has to have a shared calendar, Any server can now fill the roll. The CEO can use Outlook and the techies can use Ev.
Please, enlighten me - what servers other that Exchange work with Outlook shared calendaring?

I don't know about you, but I can hardly do more than the simplest math in my head anymore. I blame it directly on my use of calculators. My handwriting is also terrible, since I barely ever write by hand.
Thank god I'm not the only one. I thought I was getting REAL early onset of Alzheimer's or something.
Or maybe it was that twelve years I spent on toouer with Jerry.

Look at suburbia! When I was in High School it was important to know someone who was 16 so that they could drive you around.

Maybe you should take that Britney Spears CD you have, shine it up real good and stick it up your candy ass.
Oh, come on - that was funny. And it really is OK to be gay.

On the plus side, I didn't see a single CD in that entire steaming stack of shit that I would want anyway.
