When I think of Sun, I think of reliable, mission critical, just like the article says...Sun has this big business image that "if you want it to run, you should be using Sun", but it also comes with a steeper learning curve. Whereas Linux's image is building and linux has an attitude like "anything you can do, i can do better, and if i can't yet, i will soon" and also comes with less of a learning curve...however still a lot more of a curve than your run of the mill windows server guy would like, I've met so many bleeding heart MS guys that would use/try Linux if they didn't have a misconception that it is infinatley harder than windows...
the United states has some of the richest bastards in the world, it's about time NASA allows private citizens to buy trips to space. Russia did this awhile ago and banked on it.
I know thats one of the first things I ask when I meet new people...unless it's a work environment...but 9/10 when I ask I am greeted with a response that makes me say "eeewww" to myself...and then when I have to explain the kind of music I like I usually have trouble relating that to them...but you can usually tell who you can avoid by their (usually horrible) taste in music.
Isn't satire and other kinds of humor covered under the first amendment? and Wow how are you not supposed to make fun of scientology...it's such an easy target...all that stuff about Xenu and aliens being sent here 75 million years ago...it's a humorist's dream
Yeah really, ambien is known for being dependence forming...they might as well be like hey does your back hurt? ask your doctor about Oxycontin!...or Hey, work and stress getting to you? Try Valium twice daily for desired effects!...for some reason I don't think it's too far off.
Raise your hand if you've tried to talk yourself into thinking you have restless leg syndrome. It seems the ads are geared towards making you consider medication you might not need.
Future archaeologists will be able to identify a "Vista Upgrade Layer" when they go through our landfill sites No we won't...the same reason we don't have a mainframe layer or black and white TV layer and the same reason we don't have a sword layer...people aren't going to buy new stuff to run software that does the same stuff...if you are going to buy a new computer and it comes with vista great, but people are really overestimating the market demand as far as the average PC user and even most 'advanced' (I use that term loosly) users.
how this makes sense for laptops as it shouldn't matter laptops generally have both, and there is no need to be mobile on a plane, but what about WiFi PDA's and the upcoming cell phones with wifi capabilities, both of those could be pretty important to an exec who needs to remain connected.
Maybe they aren't trying to be sinister, maybe the person who made the offer simply didn't know what he could and couldn't offer you, maybe their relocation policy recently changed...it could very well had been an honest mistake...which doesn't make it "ok" by any means, but possibly give the company a chance to confirm their business practices.
What would be interesting if they gave you an option...say if you found the video through google's search it played with their player, but if you searched directly on youtube you used theirs...that was no one has to get used to something new if they don't want to...
Yeah I know what you mean, the gmail thing was sort of a joke I know they have almost infinite space anyways, its about cutting costs, because it's more expensive to do the same thing in two different places for no real reason, pretty much just like you said.
I mean it makes sense considering a lot of videos appear on both, and they own both, so why not cut costs by just linking to the one on youtube. That way they can free up more storage as they keep adding to gmail.
Well I agree Silent Hill 4 was different in a few bad ways. But the concept was awesome, it was like nothing I ever played before or since. I would have rather played that game being a solid effort at something new than the same gameplay from 1-3 wrapped with a new story.
I understand what you are saying, and I don't disagree with you. I think it's sick that someone would premeditate something like that. At the same time both my analogy and her experience didn't REALLY happen, they are both virtual. One more upsetting than the other. But if someone were allowed to file a DMCA complaint like that, then why wouldn't I be able to, where do you draw the line? I know they aren't the SAME thing, but from a technology perspective they are the same thing, and that was solely my point.
Just because marriage clouds your logic doesn't mean my analogy isn't logical...sure it's not the same on an emotional level, but it is the same in the fact that neither one involved real life encounters, just digital in GAME representations of a player.
If Windows sucks soooo much, how come more people are familiar with it than Mac OS X? How am I supposed to take this person's opinion seriously when they speak in a 13 year old's tone?
I wonder if the US will try to pin it on India since they just started going into space, either that or some Russians threw some Rubels at it. I'm sure they come up with something riduclous regardless.
They felt the need to create them because they probably felt they can do it better, and in most cases they have. But they are open to admitting that another standard is better, such is the case with ISL, cisco has basically scrapped ISL in favor of 802.1q. You are semi-right about a "lock in", but cisco customers expect something better than another companies network gear, they get the capability of using cisco's own stuff like EIGRP or CDP...thats why people buy cisco, but cisco doesnt make you use them, you can just as easily use OSPF instead of EIGRP, so you can interoperate. But if you have an all cisco campus, why not use EIGRP if you think it will better suit you.

for the readers the article was intended for that is generally a single player game
a little game called Counter-Strike?

That would be like me getting pissed and taking legal action because I was in someone's counter-strike highlight video getting 'pwned'
I think the real ouch came right after that when he said it "came out in 2001" Only a mere six years later...double ouch

Wrong. Infogear has had the patent since 1997, Cisco bought them in 2000, so the name iPhone was in existence of an Apple iAnything.
They felt the need to create them because they probably felt they can do it better, and in most cases they have. But they are open to admitting that another standard is better, such is the case with ISL, cisco has basically scrapped ISL in favor of 802.1q.

Why don't they just pay that company already on sealand to host their stuff? Wouldn't that be the same thing and cheaper?
I'd like to know exactly how the government killed Kennedy and also how they killed Martin Luther King Jr.....hold on someone is at the door...
