Haven't you seen the Star Citizen promo? Here. The PC and it's capabilities are not dead to the tune of $33.7 Million USD and counting.
Just because a newer or different technology sells well and meets one segments needs (business) doesn't mean that the old one will die. I mean seriously, how many of you are still running a tape library out there?
I refuse to believe this is is constitutional. A policing body taking my genetic code and doing god know what with it if I jay walk or look at a cop wrong? Lets see how this silly piece of paper hold up in court.
Why are exploits and zero-days in Microsoft products still news? Their product is full to the brim with holes, problems, and exploits. a running tally would be more effective than a news story.
Lets move away from an hour based work schedule to a task and accomplishment based work/pay system. Base salary and flexible hours. Penalties for work not completed or as a corrective measure. We don't measure lives in hours, why should our job's measure what we do for them in hours?
Mandating an "hours per week" for employee's is the problem, not the solution.
They just get hit with solar flares and fizzle out.
Seriously though, the only angle that LightSquard had was, "It's already up there, all we have to do it turn it on..." and that has just gone up in smoke. Just like their business model and momentum. It's time they go back to the drawing board and come up with a new plan, get new backers, and find a new way to do what they want to do.
Part of a healthy mind is the ability to forget unimportant or no longer relevant information in favor of more recent and accurate things. If i tracked myself I wouldn't be able to forget the unimportant or push aside the less desirable. I would be governed by old data and held to means and modes of things that may not reflect current realities.
And once again we find that it's only true to a government if their own agencies or personnel tell them it's so. A private citizen should be able to produce evidence and have it considered with the same weight as something produced by a policing force. Providing obtaining that evidence didn't violate the law in any way.
You can bet that if it had been the police that can up with that GPS location they would have a warrant in hand tight now.
IF you type a search for Honk Kong you get nothing, but after a few minutes of figuring how to zoom down to the right place I found it clear as day. The problem here? I don't speak cantonees... and most people in HK do speak english. So why no hits for the search?
P.S. And yes this is a big deal, HK is not part of China no matter how much the land grabing Reds in Beijing want it to be. Give it a name and it has a voice, Redmond we know complies with censorship of the people in China but has Google gone down the same dark road?
Though many people here might just dismiss this man as misguided or a fool. I believe we should try to reconcile with him.
To start, Rob Enderle makes is very clear that his basis for argument is that the other side doesn't know what they are talking about. That we accept whatever comments are on Slashdot and have never used a command prompt to say our lives.
I hate to dissapoint Mr. Enderle but I must tell him he is mistaken. I for one am not an MSN "tech support" person, and I will always go to computer management before an MS help page.
The second assumption Rob makes is that linux is destructive. To my knowledge it's only harmful to MS profit margins and I don't see why I should care about that. Linux is free, not worthless. Linux is open, not defenceless.
It seems just to ironic. In trying to damn Linux "Zealots" he has made himslef into an MS terrorist. trying to scare people from using Linux.
"There is no need to convince someone to run away from that which they know is deadly. Why are you trying so hard?" - Me
I hear what your thinking. I said "try" to reconcile.
well all is said and done for the people that dont understand that chapter 11's can be a blessing to a company. if you dont have enough money to run the company you go chapter 11 and you have a slime chance but you do have a chance to bounch back. microsoft crony's and the like that want it to be all done and over with are sending out the message the Napster is done for. go to http://www.business.gov/busadv/frame.cfm?urltest=h ttp://www.inc.com/incmagazine/archives/09930861.ht ml&catid=365&urlplace=maincat.cfm to read more.
"brian washing", "its just a game to play", WHAT???? i dont get it. these people keep YOU and you Q III server safe at night, and make no mistake when you go to the store next week and buy a pack of gum. be glad that there is someone that just stopped some crazy from blowing you up with a homemade bomb. you people dont seem to get the point of all this. when.. i say again WHEN the next bomb rocks the US and you all feel "real sad" you can know that these poeple are tying to save lives. YOUR SONS, YOUR DAUGHTERS life. get over yourselves. people like you.... im done and when...when the us has to stop another attack and we dont have enoough personal to do it dont you DARE come back to me. peace, i love you all but shut up.
the fact is, people dont understand. as is so comicly out-lined at www.userfreindly.org mangers and "the bussisness savy" are ignorant to the fact that some 23 year old sitting at a computer is making sure that ever memo he ever sends will get to the addressed person in a timely fashion. to think out-side the box you have to have someone fixing, networking, and coding ON a box. wake up and smell the java... that virus your boss was worried about you stopped by putting up that firewall you never told him about. now they want to cut pay rates? let them try. o whats that?! a new virius is out boss?
let us all understand the thinking behinf microsofts move here. bill gate MAY have to defend his hidious creation against the wigs in DC and, as we all know, he has no case and is as good as flaimbait. BUT! microsoft is and has always been slimey. if microsoft points out the fact that with the (failing) X box, MSNBC, and itv they have infact become an entertainment company and is mearly a big name for a bunch of little companys. its a lie, its slimly, its... right up bill's alley if you ask me. i can just hear the new M$ slogan, "diversify and you wont fry!'
in the last year (365 day's previous to this one) i have heard that AMD wont last, that open source is circleing the drain, and that Bill Clinton was a good president. although the comment about Bill is off topic the others are not. the whole idea that linux, BSD, and other open source will cease to be is an idea not applicable. peopel who say that type of thing dont understand that with companys like AMD its not about getting maximum returns THIS PART OF THE YEAR. the willingness of such companys and PEOPLE to work together to get around problems and make something better is what is what made open source. you cant have something without the idea to back it up. more power to them. give me a better chipset to frag other guys with and im all for it.
this all brings to light IS THE FORCED DOWNLOAD OF A "PLUG-IN" OR "AFFILEATE" PROGRAM ILLIAGE? think about it.... its sollisitaion. if you buy one thing you CAN get this other thing free. on the net it's you must unclick this box and read 5 pages of legeal BS so you dont.......o and we researve the right to over-turn your unchecking of that box beacuse it our software......but were giving it to you free so you shouldnt grip you ungreatfull slave. is it me or does this sound like the "company store" to anyone else.
may father is a machanical Enginier. i remeber him telling me that you want to put a diagonal line acros the top of your punch cards so you know that they'er in order. Now major corporations use smartcards to "keep the company safe" but they dont have a way to know it every card is acounted for. a diagonal line may not be much but its more then what larger Corporations due. if the airlines still use what ain't broke, GOOD FOR THEM!!! O_O why does it take me to point out that if your using a 486 for something and in ten years its still doing a good job, YOU DONT HAVE TO CHANGE IT!?
think of it this way, no microsoft code monkey or defender of said work of satin would/could use this. it would be like a vampire drinking consicarted water. Kilngons have honor and only attack when dishonored. microsoft has proven itself to be backstabing. i like the idea of some Microsoft can't support. that may just be me.... but i think not. ^_^
this is a large blunt object (XP)
this you your computer
this is XP on your computer
*procceds to smash a Sony Viao with large blunt object*
its not the idea of stable or unstable. the idea is unstable when, why, how, and who can take advantage of you when MicroSoft's new toy gets broken. you run off to tech support and some hacker has your e-mail, Word documents, and every other peice of useful informantion you have ever used the SAVE function on. Remeber, for every pach and update microsoft sends you a notice about you may have a critical error on your box. what a comforting thought.
i personaly own an AMD Athalon 750, its not even 1GH and its a space heater. you people think there arent going to be problems if you start grilling with a space heater? yes there will be problems if you take off the heatsink, its not a question if your CPU of any make or brand will live after 7min. of Quke III without a heatsink. the question is "are you stupid enough to take off your heatsink?"
i just sent this to the writer of this over stupid artical, enjoy
first you must understand two things. one, major software designers don't design programs for Linux because the programs themselves are made in windows. two, for reasons unknown people like to see that blue screen that essentially say "ha ha, I just dumped every thing you did today into the toilet!!" seeing past the taboo that this blue screen doesn't go with the décor in your 10 by 10 cubical, you just lost all the acounting data for a million dollar project...agian! so if you want to wimper and wine about an inadiquit spell checker be my quest, just don't publish another inherintly stupid pro-Microsoft article.
you see dont hate microsoft hate every line of there code and show the world the true microsoft, if that doesnt work nothing will.
well of course we all know the real reason for stopping the use of "light sabers" in a medical capacity so to stop the sith from uptaining better saber technology. if that happend the balence in the force would be destroyed and they could make more movies!!!...hold it, he's tring to stop this? the movies must be getting to him TOO.
if the new AOL OS pop-up problem hasn't been brought up then it should be. stupid people with alot of money, to much time, and a hunger for cookies will altimately always be the reasons for spam. if they get you at a homeshopping website or your local gaming site it makes no difference either you have to outlaw spam or COPE!!! if you have to stop writing drivers for your flat bed scanner for a minute and set up a spam blocker then DO IT!!

And this is why I avoid them like the plague.... Well that and the political smear story they ran a couple years back.
An anti-virus company has ended a relationship with a vendor that will waste your money.
Now if only software companies would fix their products we could then end our relationship with these anti-virus vendors that are wastes of money.

This seems more like punishment than an aid.

the current release of Dojo is 0.4.2
Why is this article reviewing a release of Dojo that is over a year old? And you might notice that Dojo gets the short end of the stick too.
