Here is a screen grab of Outlook grouping by sender, subject and importance. Like I said this is existing functionality. I'll grant you that the date functionality is not done well as it groups by the minute (there are workarounds available on the web).
I can't see how this is different to the innovations from IBM
... the list seperators seem quite cool to me (and obvious in hindsight).
Hindsight? If hindsight means looking the the 'Group by' views in Outlook (or 'Apple Labels' as the other reply points out - not familiar with Apple myself) then yes they showed good hindsight.
I agree with your comment. What the author calls the 'closed development model' is actually the waterfall model. He does not seem to understand that many close source companies (big and small - don't knock us big companies) use open standards and agile/eXtreme (non waterfall) development models.
Yeah sure they are. Haven't you ever read the section in the EULA where it says:
13.
inCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL
AND CERTAIN OTHER DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN every
EVENT SHALL MICROSOFT OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT,
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER
Forgive the sarcasm there but there are few big, closed or open source companies that will indemnify their customers against software faults for anything less than truck loads of money. No company is going to run the risk of being put out of business due to a single bug. It's unreasonable to expect for the few thousand you will pay for a robust MS exchange set-up you will also be indemnified against any error (especially if those errors are your own admin's errors).
Java couldn't be considered fledgling anymore but were Sun to go under I can't help thinking that Java would suffer. With MS no longer supporting it that would leave only IBM as a large company behind Java. I don't think Java as a stand alone 'product' would be very appealing to another company.
For those of you who live mainly in the software world (myself included) there's a very good overview of all things CPU on Arstechnica. Detailed enough to be interesting but starts at a basic enough level.
And remember than nothing impresses the ladies more than sombody who knows why multiple cores might be interesting
If it doesn't, then how are you going to authenticate the real blacklist
A digital signature on the RBL seems like an obvious solution? I'd trust a list signed by monkey.com but not by I'm-a-big-bad-spammer.com
Of course how the initial trust of the signer (not of the digital signature which would be chained) is established is a question but that question exists today.
While expensive, the benefits to the American population from that program are probably unmeasurable
Might be a dumb question but what exactly were the benefits of the moon program?
Proof positive that the Capitalists could beat the Reds
A staggering $325 million grant was awarded to the University of Arizona
I don't see what is so staggering about this amount. For example, I'm guessing hundreds of millions of $ are spent every year designing cars. Cars that are never more than a few miles away from a local garage. If your sending a device a few million miles away you'd want to be pretty sure it's going to work. Not a inexpensive proposition. There are no Pep Boys on Mars
Anyone else getting as tired of these 'Did anyone else read...' posts as I am? Right up there with 'FP' and 'M$ is evil' in terms of content in my opinion.
I don't see anything in the article you reference that says that Google stores the entire web in RAM. From the article:
For the average size of 1,000 words per page, they have to be very careful to use techniques such as storing information in RAM: it would take 8 months to check for that word if everything was on disk.
Specifically storing information in RAM could mean that they store the index in RAM as opposed to the complete page. Do you have any other source backing this up?
... all the way to the bank. I'd be very surprised if the RIAA were not getting some cut on this somewhere. They may act in the same capacity as they do for studio recorded material.
legitimizing one of the oldest forms of music pirating? Arrr, It's hardly pirating if you are paying $15 a pop for it, me lad.
>shipping+tax means its more or as expensive as retail stores
With a well run web site this should not be the case. If done right the cost of developing and operating a rack of servers serving thousands of customers a day should be significantly lower than the cost of the the retail space and associated labour costs to serve the same amount of customers. This difference should be significant enough to allow the Web site sell the same product cheaper (even with shipping and tax) than the retail store.
Considering the conflicts with Pakistan and the past fear of possible nuclear or conventional war in the region, do companies work that into their calculations? What of other kinds of issues in foreign countries that companies outsource to?
Considering the conflicts with Afghanistan, Iraq, North Korea, Libya, Nigeria, Canada:-), [Insert your favourite] in the past and the fear of possible nuclear or conventional war in the region.....
I'd figure not outsourcing would bring in a hell of a lot of variables one would have to work with.
The pretty detailed (for me anyway) article on Ars Technica concludes that performance on a HyperThreaded CPU will be very much dependant on the application mix. While research like this is useful it will probably always be a try and see scenario.

Surely in order to copyright the tune you'd need to include both the notes and their timing so if you dial ................

555 7187268 3
you'd create a different tune to
55 57 18 72 68 3
So the guys have only copyrighted one possible timing of the sequence? But what do I know.

Use the force Luke - the ideas are linked from the right hand side of the force (article) in the 'RELATED' section.
Took me a while too.

'Eolas' is the Irish word for 'Knowledge'.

>(and yes, I know it's technically virii)
The plural of virus is neither viri nor virii, nor even vira nor virora. It is quite simply viruses, irrespective of context. Here's why.
Might be a dumb question but what exactly were the benefits of the moon program?
- Proof positive that the Capitalists could beat the Reds
- Non stick frying pans
- A whole of conspiracy theory
Seriously though, what were the benefits? Were there any major discoveries as a result?Are you humoured yet?
There is a very good book called 'The Surgeon of Crowthorne: A Tale of Murder, Madness and the Oxford English Dictionary' Contains a very interesting history of dictionaries in particular the OED. Might not sound it but it is a real page turner.

From the doc you reference
1.8.1 What Standards Does MySQL Follow?
Entry-level SQL-92
where 'Entry-level' presumably means not very good.

Must be a regional thing. People around here fork out 4 euro plus a pint just so that they can "wobble down the sidewalk looking bloody stupid ".
Agreed the hats probably would not sell well.
