Wow, I guess you proved what the parent article said. Why label people incompetent as part of your argument? Is that the only thing you have available to prove yourself right?
I might not understand the problem completely, but wouldn't this be caused by having the Gbit ethernet controller run by software (similar to a WinModem)?
I suggest disabling the motherboard's network controller and install a dedicated Gbit Lan card to help the cpu.
In other words, rewriting something like a TCP-IP stack is expensive.
The only reason rewriting takes place is to refactor functionality and extract a little bit of performance if possible. Rewritting is useful because it offers modularity and ease of maintenance, you can't plainly say no to rewrite.
But MS obviously took this task too lightly and didn't give it the importance it deserves. We could see the rebirth of 3rd party TCP-IP stacks for vista!! Anyone remember the Trumpet stack?
Agreed. I've read this somewhere else confirming the same reasons on why to eventually design your application for scalability from the start no matter how small the application.
It is a greater headache to convert for example your webapp from file based cookies to persistent cookies in the DB. Of course trying to be careful not to serialize too much data in cookies either.
Anonymous Coward I suggest to just let it drop. Parent explained it to you in so many ways. Confusing an interpreter with compiled code is embarrasing to watch.
I hope you are not in a position of authority where decisions are made and people would have to pay for your mistakes.
All that is true and is the reason why convincing a business/client to use java is always so easy. Is convincing the slashdot audience that java is good enough instead of reinventing the OO concepts with a new language every year.
Agreed, the other big reason is that corporate users haven't switched to Vista. I still haven't heard of any of our customers planning on Vista yet. If they take months before releasing a security update or service pack for XP, I can't see how they could be preparing for Vista now.
At the very minimum corporate users will wait until their lease expires on their Dells and then will see if they demand XP to be included in their new machines!!!
Sounds good and fair unito you consider the immigration requirements and delays involved in applying for residency let alone a working visa. Basically you need to be middle (to upper) middle class to prove you have the money to travel and start a living in the States. That is simply not a an option to a migrant worker that might be surviving on US$30 a week in their own country.
You are implying that the government of Indonesia would allow that. Funny how we think we can go to developing countries and do as we please. But we couldn't think of it the other way. Do you know how hard it is to get a US visa?
How about presenting the user with perspectives like Eclipse.
A perspective is a visual container for a set of views and editor tools for a particular activity.
Lets say you start with the default or "Basic" perspective where everything is presented in a very simple and easy format. No fancy wizards or formatting tool bars. But if you want to put a graph or create a big multi column table you would switch to a perspective like "Graphs" or "Tabular Data".
All perspectives work on the same document but each perspective highlights the propoerties of the things you want to focus on.
Wow that's pretty bad. Does it also have Bluetooth? I still haven't seen Bluetooth working on a demo laptop at the store. It never is configured properly.
Nope, just a manager who wants to cut the time it takes to build our product and save some bucks while doing it(I will probably get a big fat bonus). And nobody can tell me otherwise because I read it on my favourite business magazine that claims it's the way to go.

It might reflect how "immature" the programming profesion still is. The moment you have a larger team in software development you immediately have delays due to coordination among team members and problems with integrating components. You better make sure that everybody is on the same frequency so nobody steps on each other's toes and that scope creep is not allowed to run rampant.
Because software is something of a virtual product, people think that is very easy to make changes along the way. You wouldn't see an architect or a civil engineer accept fundamental changes to the design: "Oh how about moving the elevator shafts to the side and making space for a swimming pool on the 10th floor?"
Talk about a brand with no respect in the market. Other companies would have rebranded or shown major changes. Seems that the longer AOL remains the longer it'll be seen as a pathetic company/product.
Wait until it starts loosing more customers because of the stories they read on the media. The company will implode like a black hole, taking Time Warner with them.
/Waiting for the next stories from future customers trying to cancel their account
Well if you are desperate or evil enough to not give a damn about keeping a well motivated and trained staff (which will reflect on the product) then by all means outsource it to other parts of the world, you will be a fool not to.
/cut to the point. //If you start with an impossible schedule wouldn't that be a bad sign to start with?
Point taken, and I don't see anything wrong with creating/expressing art in your web design. Actually I think that those that do, have a better understanding of how web pages work.
I like to reference Alertbox not to piss the artistic liberal types but to have something to show the managers and team leaders of your typical corporate web projects. Because the tips are all too obvious (maybe arrogant) and mostly common sense it is very hard to argue against them and prevents anybody from reinventing the wheel and leaving a maintenance nightmare behind.
I wish they could some day be formalized somehow as a basic web portal/web commerce convention and allow us to move on. I guess we will have to wait until that 15 year old girl finishes highschool first and goes through her first break up!:-D

I agree 100%... sounds weird. So this means Sys Admins are now clerical jobs?

Ha ha!! Agreed.
Whining about it won't solve the problem
Ha ha, you say that because you are not living in Victoria. It is quite discussting.
Awesome. I will show my wife see what she thinks
I'm amazed how people make a living coming up with this nonsense.
How long exactly was the "Web 2.0" supposed to last?
As long as they keep selling it doesn't matter what they say.
Ouch, your Economy lesson is giving me a headache!

Japan would argue that is a clear example of killing jelly fish for science.
Check it out just before 3 minutes. That separation from the Shuttle is an awesome scene. No sci-fi movie can touch it, wow!!
Also the way the horizon starts to curve and half of it turning dark... great stuff.

Wouldn't this be what Kerberos does already? Mind u you have to keep your list of future keys.
I Could be wrong. Anybody can confirm this?
