Only professors could publish dozens of articles on something this damn simple. I'm so glad I left academia and got a life and spend my career doing something useful.
I -still- get messages saying "Pick up the phone, man!" It's voice mail, not an answering machine
You can use this to your advantage. When that person encounters you later they'll tell you that they left a message and you didn't call them back, and you can reply "Oh, sorry, that must have been the day the tape on my answering machine ran out."
I don't need to read a new book since this "prediction" appeared years ago in the opening scene of The Matrix. When Trinty kicked the cop standing behind her in the face, she was being a flexible matrix worker. Old news now.
"We think... productivity is down," said Maria Woytek, marketing communications manager for Day-Timers, a unit of ACCO Brands.
How's this for an unbiased opinion in the article? Day-Timers makes those old-fashioned leather and paper organizers and other non-tech office items. Naturally, they want us to blame the tool and try to convince us to toss aside technology and go back to paper and pens.
Check out this story and see how a guy's on death row for protecting himself in his own home from a local cop's son. Yes, that's on the Fox News website, not exactly a liberal organization. We should all be afraid of this abuse of authority.
Two employers ago, the company's president walked by my desk and noticed I was listening to an iPod. The song playing at that moment was "Cake and Sodomy" by Marilyn Manson, which was unfortunate because the gentleman picked up my iPod to look at it before I had a chance to change to a song with a less offensive title. As he picked it up he said "I just bought one of these for my son for Christmas" and then I noticed the shock in his eyes when he saw the words on the LCD screen... then he said "Hmmm" and sat the iPod back on my desk and walked away without saying another word.
A few weeks later, after the Christmas holiday, I saw the president and asked if his son liked his iPod. He said "I decided to return it and got him something else." At first I felt like a heel because I probably caused him to go home and dig through his children's CD collections, confiscate those not meeting his approval and give them a stern lecture. But then it occurred to me that his kids are rich brats and I might have caused them some grief! Buwah hahaha! I felt so happy when I chose to Think Different.
Thanks Apple, your iPod filled me with holiday cheer.
From TFA "...some industry watchers say open source products are in good hands when acquired by responsible commercial software makers."
Golly gee willikers, thanks Captain Obvious! I didn't know that everything was okay as long as the corporations involved are responsible. Now I understand all kinds of things. Toxic waste disposal is fine as long as it's done by responsible chemical manufacturers. Drugs are safe as long as they came from responsible pharmaceutical companies. Quail hunting is fun when your shooting buddies are responsible. Wow, now it's all clear to me since I read this enlightening article.
."The question that customers need to pay attention to is what is going to happen to the code that was open source," says Bob Igou, a research director at Gartner.
At least with MS we know what happens with their software products - they stop supporting it after a few years, thus users have to buy all new software.
The woman sitting at the desk next to mine just read your post, screamed and jumped out the window. So I guess the answer is "yes, they would still kill themselves."
They are called The International Federation of the Phonographic Industries? Wow, that explains the ancient mindset of the music industry. Imagine the automotive industry still refering to themselves as horseless carriage manufactures!

... when they outsource U.S. jobs?

Since the answer is obvious... the preferred depends on the task at hand. 7337 h4x0r5 use both.

Polar bears are heavy and undoubtedly put a large amount of strain on the ice.
Just saw the "2.0" and assumed AJAX is somehow involved.

That movie would be The Saint. It's okay... Elisabeth Shue looks really cute playing a nerdy scientist in glasses and kneesocks.

It's amusing when a breeder complains about "damaging" the environment.
