you can plug all the individual holes you want, it is still a crappy designed dam.
if it designed differently, the number of cracks is smaller...
i wish reporters understood that. flame MS for not bringing lonhorn out sooner. XP is not good enough. everyone knows this, nobody in the popular press is saying it in the right way.

think of it this way; in germany and japan their people are pissed off at the US for taking all the automotive manufacturing plants away. the US is cheap labor compared to the traditional japanese or german laborer.
examples include honda and bmw and mercedes benz. none of which i would buy if i knew it was made in an american plant.
How about evaluating the used market, figure out which games are re-selling the best, and why? There might be a few golden nuggets of information in there to be rooted out.
EVD vs DVD 1. Which DVD format? 2. Which region? 3. What about the "new" blue that is coming?
Cell phones 1. 2G or 3G? (China is now 2G, wants 3G, and hates Japan - 3G is a Japanese thing)
<synic>Also, standards are full of compromises. They are political in nature. If it was just one person, with one idea, one motive and one goal, a standard might be usefull to everyone.</synic>
I think it is geo-specific. Fuck the customer in every way possible, and make sure they don't find out. That is the US corporate mantra nowadays.
If you need examples, go car or house shopping.
And the best part is the employees are finally seeing that it is not just the customer getting fucked, but everyone below the CEO in the company as well. Unfortunately, most are adapting the "that is just the way it is, so I have to cover my own ass" attitude, which of course takes away from their ability to do a good job.
I find it funny that the treehuggers immediately jump to the conclusion that it is us (humans) that is causing the planet to warm up. Because we know that has never happened before!
I am not saying that humans aren't responsible; rather that there is more than one possible explanation.
What if global warming was 100% directly correlated to the presence of more humans? Would we kill a bunch off "for the good of the planet?" Or would the 'you must live as long as possible' mentality take over? After all, humans walk around flatulating all the time (gas emissions are bad for the environment right?), as well as being mobile heat sources....
There is plenty of oil in Alaska, but the local population of 3000 caribou is more important...
That, and the push for cars to have better emissions, with zero increases in minimum gas mileage requirements for how long now? It still takes the same amount of oil to make a gallon of gas that it did 20 years ago. Whomever the oil companies allowed to make that push... must have retired nicely.
Not only can they read the license plate, they can tell what kind of screw is holding it on (slot, philips, etc.).
Think about this for a second... you can go to a website and get pictures of your house at ~1 meter resolution (good enough to identify your car or your girlfriends car). You think that the military doesn't have something at least 100 if not 1000 times better than that?
As whales move through the water, the tubercles disrupt the line of pressure against the leading edge of the flippers. The row of tubercles sheers the flow of water and redirects it into the scalloped valley between each tubercle, causing swirling vortices that roll up and over the flipper to actually enhance lift properties.
"The swirling vortices inject momentum into the flow," said Howle. "This injection of momentum keeps the flow attached to the upper surface of the wing and delays stall to higher wind angles."
"This discovery has potential applications not only to airplane wings but also on the tips of helicopter rotors, airplane propellers and ship rudders," said Howle.

You can replace 'slashdotters' with 'people' and it still works. We are told what is qyuality and like good little sheep most of us agree.
got mine!
10MB max size email (including attachment) is nice addition.
1/2 of the exploits are buffer overflows. Makes me wonder...

no
a different MS version
no
a few (think that stupid radio shack bar code reader)
I don't know. Only paying attention since OS X came out. I would tend to doubt it though....
Because Apple can not ever hold a decent delivery schedule for any new item anymore?
The list of offendors gets longer and longer:
iPods
PM G5's
PB (Al)
etc etc etc
Still a royal PITA to have to get back to the house (I presume it is not local to this person) with a duplicate.
All fine, until that removable drive removes itself from the house.

not just bad GUI choices. everything is slow (1 minute to boot!!!) from start-up to navigating thru a big directory.
just because it uses linux (cost saving measure it sounds like) does not mean it will be a good, or usefull, product.
Good luck with that. By nature, they are a company that no longer believes in open disclosure as they used to... :(
most the geeks i know play... and a few are rather serious about it (their own chips, playing local tourneys, weekly game at work, etc).
Insightful? What a load of crap.

There are old "Revenge of the Jedi" trailers on the 'net. Here is one place, with a cool pic showing Vader.

I am seeing a tall tree, a piece of surplus scrap metal, and a under-nourished Indian we like to call "Sparky".
Not until I feel the weight... could be an empty box ya know. ;-)
I will believe it when I see it in my hands, and not a second before.
I think I have heard this all before...
