Yankee's study concluded that, in large enterprises, a significant Linux deployment or total switch from Windows to Linux would be three to four times more expensive - and take three times as long to deploy - as an upgrade from one version of Windows to a newer release. And nine out of 10 enterprise customers said that such a change wouldn't provide any tangible business gains.
Whoda thunk that it'd be more expensive to entirely change your infrastructure from Windows to Linux than it would be to simply upgrade to a new version of Windows????? Wow! We should install Windows everywhere!
Who here also thinks it'd be just as expensive to convert from Linux to Windows?
Step 1: search google for some phrase and find a book with that phrase somewhere in it Step 2: go two pages in each direction and find another word on those pages; download all pages viewed to hard drive Step 3: re-search for those two terms and go back to step 2. Step 4: repeat until entire book has been spidered Step 5:... Step 6: profit???
Why couldn;t they just branch the code from the Mozilla trunk and start on their own version?
Basically Apple took the code from KHTML, made it into WebKit, and then gave back some to the community. I wouldn't put it past Google to take this exact same strategy.
The company also hired four people who worked on Microsoft's Web browser, Internet Explorer, and later founded their own company. One of them, Adam Bosworth, is credited with being a driving force not only behind IE, but Microsoft's database-management program, Access.
Excellent. Two of the most error-free and easy to use applications on my desktop. great job Google! Perhaps you next want to hire on the security audit team for Windows?
Clearly you haven't been to WindowsUpdate in a while.
Unless you're using IE5.5 or 6.0 you can't do jack shit on the site. Basically, unless you use their browser you can't update your OS (outside of automatic/downloaded updated from their website.
In demonstrations to press and analysts, the company has shown a graphically demanding game -- a Linux version of Quake III -- running on an Apple PowerBook.
I'm sorry, but that's just not impressing me. Not to mention that there's already a native Mac OS 9/X port of Quake III, but it's not even the most system-dependent code that I can think of.
When I can run Office 2003 natively inside Linux then we can talk.
Are you talking about Paul Begala and James Carville, two of the most well-known Democratic strategists in the company?
Or perhaps that their show is 'Crossfire', a political argument show where the opinions of the 'commentators' are well known and played upon constantly?
The day that Wolf Blitzer, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, or Peter Jennings joins a campaign please give me a call; until then let's not try to obfusicate the facts here, shall we?
I think a more revolutionary solution would be to allow remote queuing/renting of movies. Think of it this way:
You're at work and you hear about this really funny new Zombie movie called "Shaun of the Dead". You check Netflix and they have it for DVD in 3 days or TiVo delivery that evening.
The netflix website interfaces directly with the TiVo network and you schedule a download of the movie.
When you get home it's completely downloaded to your TiVo (or darn close to it) and you can enjoy the movie without waiting.
It'd be something that I know I'll look into, for sure.
One of my friends has told me that preordering EQ2 at some retailers will get you a CD that has the creation utility on it. You can tewak your character to your heart's content and then, when the game is released, it'll import right in.
If it's true then it's a damn good idea...builds excitement in your game and (duh) it's going to be copied and given to friends, further building mindshare of the forthcoming game.
What prevents me from writing my own VOIP software and using that? Will it need to be wiretap-emabled as well? What if I use SSH or PGP to secure and authenticate the connections?
Does the government really think that the terrorists are going to sign up for Vonage and not use Skype or their own small app?
Interestingly enough, on the 14th (last Saturday) at the same time that this conference with the Infinium Labs CEO was going on, Kyle Bennett from [H]ARD|OCP was on stage at Quakecon, smashing a Phantom console with a big fucking sledgehammer.
Pictures are up at qconpics.org in the Saturday gallery. The pictures of the smashing start here. It was pretty cool to see, and Kyle promised the crowd that next week they are going to have a story up all about the internals of what the Phantom REALLY has.

Actually, I expected this to be higher since I watched Goodfellas last night.
