OSX, Thunderbolt, IOS, etc... That's just the top of the iceburg. You don't have to share your technology with the world in order to sell it. In fact, in base form Apple hardware is commodity electronics made in a custom pattern to fit the space they wish. Additional technologies were included to create something no one else has done at that time.
Apple brings to the table uniqueness & design, both of which are hard to make "open".
You better think ahead and have your taxes ready... that's been a known financial burden since day one. It didn't come out of the blue, it existed before the recession as well.
Not sure if you're seriously questioning that, or you thought he was making it up. However, the unemployment rate nationally is ~9%. While 12% isn't 50% higher than 9%, 38% is much closer.
You'll have to excuse him, he's slow, so he's obviously Canadian. Just ask him the same question louder and more pronounced, it works for those slow people.
OH wow... I'm totally backing away from this fresh meat. I know others are just waiting to taste....
I'll just say that exchange is great for internal use, but anybody halfway (even a quarter) intelligent puts an smtp buffer or some form between the exchange cluster and the internet when it comes to email.
At one of my last job in 2005, a qmail server worked nicely to perform spam classifications/etc before handing it to exchange;) There are appliances for this nowadays.
I'm glad most places still keep important things on Unix platforms, and these "all uber cool large business are doing it!" ideas aren't true. Sure, sharepoint, exchange, and other Microsoft products are Windows, but that in no way means they Pwn the datacenter.
When it comes to virtualization, VMWare infrastructure is the better way to go. No need to worry about the underlying OS licensing/etc. Otherwise, there are VMWare versions for both Mac & Windows. Parallels is also an option.
The fact that you state that Microsoft servers are great for certain business needs (insinuating that you have them in your dat center), but then in the same virtual breath state that you'd never want a Mac server in your data center tells me you a) know nothing about it (so why have it) or b) are a biased asshat.
Serious programming is a team getting together, engineering exactly what's needed, certain components of that are segmented out to individuals, and from the bottom up they either individually or in groups of 2 work on those components with the guidelines given.
At that point, the very idea of templates just falls off the map.
And seriously, it's almost 2012 and Linux shells still pass data as text, when passing objects would make so much more sense and give a lot more options. You realize your comparing coding to commandline scripting and simple shell commands, right? Once you get into code, it's all objects of some form or another.
Evidently you haven't heard the news that Enterprise is their core focus, now. So it's either HP keeps their HP servers and HPUX operating system afloat, or they go under. With the amount of money rolling through Enterprise, I doubt they'll sink.
You're thinking about previous hurricanes, and you would be right about those. This one is sustaining it's energy, and probably keeping it alive with water temps. It's size is bigger than most as well.
You live in an area that has seen more than one hurricane head-on. New York city on the other hand built their very infrastructure on the basis which if the wind blows they have to fix something. I'm of course being figurative, but they're right up against the water, have stuff underground that is electric, and pack more people per square inch than nearly any place in America. It's just begging for a beating... and for the last 250+ years things have been moderately quiet...
I lived through this time period in the 90's, and there's no reason to ever say "that's just how it is, some things will never change, gotta just accept it!"
The FBI kicked in many people's front doors with guns drawn and putting everyone on the ground face first, back then. (LOTS in the Baltimore area) For allegedly having pirated software on their computer's BBS. We've gotten past the jack boot thugs time and it is stemming back to the old saying "if you don't remember history, your condemned to repeat it."
Before anyone spouts on with something like "well, don't have illegal software then!", realize that: A) there was no hard proof (only hearsay) B) copyright infringement was a civil matter in the 90's, not requiring paramilitary intervention C) See A... PROOF, PROOF, PROOF!!! Before the raid!!!
You mean like all of the Ron Paul "supporters" nowadays? "zOMG ur sheeple!~@! gold backed monetary system! you don't get it because you've been brainwashed and programmed by the illuminati!@!"
You know that there's evidence now that the whole 'rats & fleas' scenario of the plague isn't holding water now that it's been researched, right? While it has been used as a delivery mechanism (read: japanese biological warfare tactics), London burial areas and old infected regions have been researched recently. Also, fleas could not live through the winters of London in that time period.

dude, if I could mod this up, i so would.. lol

Sorry dude, you're all alone there.
Never had that problem in L.A.

No it doesn't, what the fuck...
If you want an SSH session (a shell) on the remote host, you just connect to it.
Why do I feel like I'm talking to someone who just learned about computers and is in the 9th grade all of a sudden?
I use Mac, PC, Linux, Unix at work and at home.

Your right, Apple doesn't make: ...
OSX
Pages
Numbers
Keynote

...are Microsoft and Apple "main" competitors?
Surely you're not serious...?
In THIS world...
Try perhaps learning your history before spouting off something that puts your foot in your mouth.
You understood it, so that's what matters.
Besides, if you want to be pedantic then get rid of the parenthesis around the entire post.
ummm you don't clean and inspect them on a regular basis?
I'm being serious...

wait, you hate what Apple represents NOW?
With your logic spelled out here, you've hated Apple since the beginning.
At least place yourself correctly on the board before trying to make a move, wow.

There's a difference between an opinion being stated, versus stating something as absolute fact when it's an opinion.
It's okay, you're forgiven.
Having insight into something in no way is weight on your shoulders.
I worship agnostics. They hold a devine energy to them, and enable us as people to bask in their glow.
