Only difference is it's usually a menu that changes between maximised documents. We've had this in Windows for a very long time, but it's fallen out of favour. Doing it tabbed based might be the fashion of the day but won't get over the issues that led to its decrease in popularity.

There's nothing wrong with the concept of copyrights and patents. Even the Founding Fathers realized the value of them.
Your founding fathers lived in a particular time and place under particular circumstances. They had no Internet or any form of instant communication. They had no device that could copy a book in under a second. They also were not infallible - some of them condoned slavery and owned slaves.
By the way copyright didn't make sense even 2000 years ago. Around then the great library at Alexandria existed. Merchant ships were searched and books confiscated, duplicated and returned to their owners. THat resulted in the greatest library ever known. There's a VERY high price to allowing copyright.
So why is copyright flawed? It gives CONTROL over the publicly released work to the author. It's giving the author their cake and letting him eat it too. I have no issue with an artist or author being compensated fairly for their work for some period of time. I have a huge problem with them or their publishers controlling the work and deciding the price arbitrarily. I have a huge problem with people hoarding knowledge. How much of the world's publications are only available to the rich? (Can you justify spending $3000 on a 7 volume reference you may only rarely use - I have only just faced that question - look up HAZNAB. I have a family to feed, and it's jsut not worth that much money). As for publishers, they provide nothing anymore. Except protectionist laws that threaten people with jail time over ridciulously minor infringements. (Even sending children off to the colonies if they stole bread was less cruel since food when scarce is a matter of life or death). Publishers need to fade away.
When I buy a printer, I find a model that lets you refill cartidges. I have found a local supplier that supplies 125ml bottles of ink for a reasonable price (3rd party but a pretty close match and doesn't seem to clog up my printers). So I buy a printer and a bottle of each colour of ink, syringes and anything else I need to refill. Been doing this for a few years now. I have only had 2 pritners die in that time out of 5 and for both of them my issue was that I had to throw away ink at the end.
you've missed the point entirely. It's just a silly name
Did you just read what you wrote??? A bad name for something caused a miscommunication - blame the reader (who correctly determined this fluff isn't worth his time).
A single incorrect critical line of code has the potential to bring down a system just like a single loose coupling on a remote control aircraft will bring turn it into a pile of broken wood. In some things any less than 100% just won't do the job. You can't offset that.
I've read the proposal twice. They don't describe what they want to store at all. And I don't see a reference to another document either. How can anyone make an informed proposal without knowing anything about the data!!
Clearly you've never worked for a consultancy. What you need is a few dozen current buzzwords/phrases - like Cloud Computing, Virtualization, Web 2.0 - and a few weasel words/phrases - like Synergy (a must have in any proposal!), Then you need to proove you can throw 300 people at the problem if needed (and you will find a way to justify it!). Never mind that some dork with a PostGres database and a few scripts (or Access 2007 database if you're a Microsoftie) can probably do what they need. If they can't work out what they need it's a business opportunity.
With MRI, CAT scans, etc, is this ghoulish exercise really necessary anymore?
Medical imaging is fantastic technology but it does not replace what you can see when you actually cut something up and take away layers of other material between you and the object being observed
We still have to do painful biopses on live patients too, despite all the medical imaging technology. My father in law's just had 20 pieces of his prostate taken out through his rectum. (Given the entry/exit path, start you on strong anti-biotics before the procedure). He's an intelligent man and I guarantee you he wouldn't be going through that agony for no good reason.
I'd tell them, "Sorry I'll uninstall everything," and if they chose to fire me then I'd drag Mr. Birdwell into court to provide proof before a judge that I actually cost the school 1 million in damages. If they can't then it would be unjustified dismissal, and in violation of multiple employee-protection laws that exist when you work for a state government.
If he also took home 18 computers for his own personal use and was downloading porn as claimed, I don't think that'd stand up in court.
I gave up on this and have been using a DVD recorder with a built in hard drive for the last few years. The only hassle is having to program things twice due to lack of built in EPG, but my PVR is now old and I believe there are models that work now with digital EPGs where I live (Australia).
What MS did to FS was tragic. Watching the series dragged through the mud with FSX and then canned was literally depressing. I can only image what it was like for someone working on the code base. When I want to fire up a flight sim it's still usually FS2004, but I've lost my enthusiasm for the product since it was killed. I use to plan my computer purchases around it. (I still have a 3 screen setup). C'est la vie. It'll be decades before anything succeeds MSFS (if anything does in my life time that is. I own X-Plane and it just doesn't cut it)
My understanding was that earlier this year Microsoft fired most of the guys in Aces Studios (who build MSFS and ESP) and killed off the MS Flight Simulator franchise. Very confused. I'm going to have to do some googling tonight.
But in the meantime, you are relying on an unproven assertion that your senses are not merely the products of an overly active imagination...i.e., faith.
I'm taking much less - in fact the minimum - on faith compared to a religious person. And I'm open to taking less on faith if you give me a way. There is nothing I believe or take on faith that a religious person does not. There is a lot that they take on faith that I dismiss as nonsense. The existentialist arugment is a weak one from a pragmatic point of view. No matter how much you prove I'm taking on "faith", you are doing it more.
At some point, everything depends on faith. In empirical science, we accept that the observations of our senses is real (at least at some level), even though we have no "proof" that anything outside our thoughts is really real (remember DeCartes?)
No I don't depend on faith. If someone provides a good counter argument (e.g. shows me to a high degree of certainty that my senses are at fault) I am free to change my beliefs.
And since this is/., where everyone brags about their personal machine in their basement, I hope you've never run apt-get update and still run firefox 1.x/2.x (or whatever version was around in 2003).
I don't have a basement, you insensitive clod! THAT is slashdot. Badda bing!...and firefox was at around 0.8 in Dec 2003

Better yet.
for(p = s->next; p != 0; p = p->next)
Sure it's more verbose, but it's also more readable especially to a novice, since it's closer to the usual prototype of a for loop. (i =0; i xxx; i++)
Why isn't anyone raving about the Twitter feed called Shit My Mom Says?
Because everyone knows that in nature an angry mother is something you don't mess with!

I knew a guy called Teh but unfortunately Microsoft tools auto correct that to The.
Clearly he should change his name. I'd like to suggest Meh.

If they're based in Toronto, why are they called the Ottawa Skeptics?
Maybe they moved and couldn't decide on a new name. Or maybe they had a membership drive in Toronto one year.
