The restrictions on third-party apps is always done in the interest of the user.
That is utter drivel. If there IS any benefit to the end user it is secondary to keeping the platform locked for profit reasons. Neither Apple nor AT&T care about the user's best interest except where it correlates to sales and profit.
It's visible as a bright spot in the sky to the naked eye, as are many such Satellites. Most conjecture is that it DID have Solar Panels that failed to deploy. It's not a stealth satellite; it's a huge camera.
If you think a shiny laptop is going to help you score with the ladies, then you really need to get out of your mom's basement and taste the real world for a change...
You will both be hearing from my legal team, as I have in fact already copyrighted both first and second posts. Oddly enough, we skipped 3 and went straight to 5.
It's relevant because the OP just as verifiable as the post you call a troll. The parent to your post was making a point that just because some AC on slashdot said it is so, that doesn't make it so. The OP is trolling and pretending to be an 'industry insider' and you are lapping it up like a kitten with a bowl of milk.
I do use Vista and it's not so bad. I was just trying to come up with a better analogy. You're right, ME was a total disaster and Vista isn't even close to that. I guess I was playing to the crowd in making what was really a joke;)
If an application can crash it then it's the fault of the OS, not the application. That includes device drivers from 3rd parties. It's still the responsibility of the OS to be fault tolerant, resilient, and secure.
What part of 'innocent until proven guilty' elludes your comprehension? What part of the Bill of Rights doesn't make sense to you? It's about following Constitutional process, not about 'justice' by whatever means work.
I admire your effort, but you're wasting your time here. Nothing Apple does is ever wrong, everything MS does is always wrong. That's Slashdot. The fact that more people are running Vista than all versions of Mac OS combined is a non starter with the fanboy crowd.
I'm rather agnostic when it comes to OSes. I have Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Windows 2000 through Vista all running here at home. I happen to like my Vista machine quite a bit. I've had exactly one crash in almost a year, and that was when I was messing with beta video drivers. It runs all of my stuff, I have no more compatability issues. In fact, it Just Works.
I can say nice things about all of the aforementioned OSes, and also find things to nitpick them on.
I still manage to stay pretty current. Part of that is an understanding wife who lets me spend part of the 'more money' part on expensive toys for my lab;)
I forgot to answer the original question. I'm not sure I can? Sometimes it's a confluence of events. All you can really do is a) ask for it if it seems appropriate and b) show leadership in everything you do. The latter doesn't mean boss people around. It refers to doing every undertaking with an eye towards excellence and with a professional attitude towards your coworkers.
In my own case I had managed several projects when they suddenly found they needed an Ops manager. I got tapped and I stepped up. Again, YMMV. Keep your eye open for opportunities and don't be afraid to ask for more responsibility. Just be cafeful what you wish for.
I don't know. I made the change years back. It's demanding, sometimes painful, but often very rewarding. I get a great deal of satisfaction from seeing my subordinates grow and develop. When I've had problem employees I've had a great deal of success in turning them around; another huge source of satisfaction.
The hours suck, the demands are great, and you often feel like you are in a no win situation. There are also perks if you do your job well. Once you've gained trust in an organization as an effective manager who enjoys a good degree of loyalty from his people while also getting results you gain lots of freedom in many subtle and not so subtle ways.
Of course this is just based on my experience and that of a few friends. I know many who've fallen into the PHB trap, and many who have just plain failed. YMMV.
I still am in some respects. I was one of the first 100 people certified as an OS/2 Engineer by IBM back in the day, and I still have a Warp box running here for old times sake.
That being said, and while I'd love to poke through the source, I'd rather see some of the technologies and concepts from OS/2 opened up. I would just love to see what OSS could do for the Workplace Shell, for example. The WPS is STILL more advanced than any Windows shell ever has been. Just imagine where it might be today if developement hadn't stopped.
I also wouldn't mind seeing a compatability layer built for Linux, so that all my old OS/2 apps would work on a Linux kernel. If licensing is constrained then they could always (gasp!) put out a closed library and just expose the API.
None of it is likely to happen, but it would be nice.
I was actually referring to the fact that X11 was released in 1987...I also don't use CMD.EXE when I work on my Windoze boxen. I use bash or powershell depending upon what I am doing.
Then again, bash didn't see daylight until '87 as well...and powershell wasn't even a glimmer in Microsoft's eye. ANYways...it was a joke:P
The assertation is not that the FBI stole the secrets. The story alledges that the FBI covered up evidence that "high ranking US government officials" did the deed.

Next recreation: The Battle of Thermopylae, only we'll be using M1 Abrams Tanks instead of Spartans.

I for one admire the fruits of their efforts.
In the days when it was written, 'regulated' meant 'trained', and I agree. Every citizen should own a gun and be well trained in it's use.

I do hope they find a cure to whatever destroyed your sense of humor ;)

Vista is not Micro Channel. Vista is Windows ME.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of soldiers???
Meh, ok. I had karma to burn on a tired meme.

I voted for Kodos.

There shouldn't need to be any hacks, that's the point.

No, I think that *if* it even happened it was probably someone in the State Department or even someone attached to the White House.
