Apple really is a kickass company worthy of praise for constantly pushing the envelope in a relatively stagnant electronics industry. And no, I don't own anything from Apple, but I wish I did.
Take a look at this picture. See the problem? Compariing the US to a densly populated and wealthy small country is not valid. It might be valid to compare NY to France. But revamping the US infrastructure to support this stuff and maintain backwards compatability takes time. Plus companies have to earn back their investment in the current infrastructure. I lived in Bahrain in theearlly 90's and they were one of the first countries with cheap handheld cellular. Revamping that country's infrastructure amounded to replacing a handful of towers. Imagine what it would take for the entire US. Still, I don't see why select US cities don't push to be on the bleedign edge of comms infrastructure expecially since it would likely lead to more hightech jobs.
I wonder thet the corrosion resistance is of this stuff. Most aluminum materials don't do well in the weather and I imagine even minor pitting would impact transparency.
I'm pretty sure the DoD singlehandedly props up Sun. As a developer I find Sun/Solaris a complete paint-in-the-ass to work with. Impossible to find binary versions for most packages, endless back-and-forth dealing with version dependencies, and ordering a server that didn't come with a CD drive, DVD drive or video card? Puhhleeeze. Then the admins blindly install Sun updates and we all get to be Sun's gunieapigs learning side-effects.
I know when I'm browsing the stacks at the local bookstore I'll look past books with crappy covers -if I'm not familiar with the author anyhow. I doubt I'm unusual in that respect.
It really is disheartening to work your ass off being brilliant and cranking out ideas only to watch some beer swiggging retard get more recognition, higher pay and more promotions at work. Get an Accounting degree instead.
I loaded OpenSuSe last week. Had troubles with Radeon and Centrino but usability was wonderful. A searchbox that highlights menu options...who would have thunk it. Loaded Mandriva lasst night and no real problems with video or Centrino though I had to manually configure wireless after install. But usability is horrible. I selected Firefox during install and they didn't even give me a menu icon or desktop icon for loading it. Same goes for other applications. So nifty menu search either. Might have to give Ubantu a try and see if anyone other than SuSe is trying to improve usability.
I wonder if this is your typical test where only the strongest points are tested. Will hackers cold-call targeted businesses pretending to be admins verifying passwords?
This all sounds like a rehash of the AOL strategy or making customers believe their product "is the internet". I have a hard time beleiving that a new competitor can make a market with the same strategy in this jaded consumer market. Bandwidth really isn't an issue until the video content on the web is as plentiful as the text content. And I don't see that happening any time soon.
The Basic script language that StarOffice uses is poorly documented. At a minimum I need a method to crawl through the document object model. In Star I could not find a decent opbect model reference much less examples of how to access portions of the document. Even worse, I could not see how one could develop custom add-ins using Toolbars and Buttonbars. And as another tiny annoyance, how do I support custom metadata? The OpenDocument format is less than clear and I don't see BuiltInDocumentProperties or CustomDocumentProperties like in Word documents.
The problems go much deeper than a few instructors. First, four years of liberal arts education that waste tons of talent.: how to you add to the grand body of knowledge if 80% of your courses have nothing to do with your field of study? Second, a job market that spend almost no money on R&D and that forces bright people into dull jobs. I can't count the number of CS majors I've seen who decided on a career switch after being slotted into a brainless position with no chance at real accomplishment.

For every variable you introduce, the liklihood of defects rises fivefold.
business model patents really are the great evil of the patent world. See it strangling industry after industry.

Exactly the problem. That layer would reduce visabiliy.

That is what we ended up doing until the parts coem in but we had to "borrow" through someone else's server on the rack.
Becasue those languages are the most common in England?

Card's site actually looks like a real magazine.
I think you have to balance the threat against the public benefit.
I this another argument to buy some Memory Foam pillows?
Good thing you picked up the story or the idiot who came up with this publicity stunt would be out of a job.
I came across this awesome (actually funny) online book teaching Ruby: why's (poignant) guide to ruby
Another use could be shock absorbers for vehicles.

Just so you aren't confused about what party is abridging your rights.
I see the icons and palette both have a lot of the SuSe puke green look. In fact the palette even labels those colors "chameleon".

The EU ans UN should just make their own internet. This is a stupid issue.
