What about the billions of computer users outside the US that would like access to Netflix, Hulu and every other VoD solution that seems to be geographically limited...?
In short - the reason you can't have the Sky content is the same reason we can't have Hulu content, and that is that Sky doesn't have the distribution license outside of its particular viewership area. Premier League TV rights are a huge huge business...
You do realise that a particular business model is not suitable in all situations, right? This is why there is a huge diversity in businesses out there...
You seem to have built up this notion that you deserve to get free access to any content that you wish, simply because you wish to. Yes, content producers certainly have the right to try and profit from their creation.
Yeah, cos the answer to everything is linked sales and charity. Now, not only do you have to produce your title product (the website content), but you also have to produce a *second* product to sell to actually make money, and/or rely on the undying generosity of others. Thats going to work well....
Sod websites, most physical bookmakers in the UK will take a generic bet and give you odds themselves. Betting in the UK is not limited to chance or sports, you an literally place a bet on almost anything.
I'm currently viewing Slashdot in FireFox 3, and one of the things I have noticed was the way the parent comments border encompasses all of the child comments - invariably, in a long thread, the ultimate parents border wont be drawn until you scroll well down into the thread.
MySQL have in the past (not sure about their current stance on it) said that any application implementing the MySQL client protocol is required to either have a commercial license, or be licensed under the GPL as they consider the protocol itself to be part of MySQL and thus under copyright.
The issue is that if we, the public, claimed expenses on some of the items that the MPs are (such as duck houses and islands...), we would be laughed out of the building by our bosses. The other issue is that the MPs expenses can be excluded from Inland Revenue taxes, resulting in scenarios where an MP buys a 'second home' in London, expenses the mortgage for several years, and then sells the property for a profit but is exempt from Capital Gains Tax on it.
Basically, why should the MPs be subject to less rigorous rules than anyone else?
And? What does that have to do with the lack of development for anything other than Windows? Are you telling me that they couldn't have been doing simultaneous development from the start? Please...
Out of interest - what do Google owe you with regard to Chrome? Why do you feel entitled to criticise the lack of a stable, official port to a certain platform?
Why do people keep saying this? Its been proven time and again, and openly admitted by Apple, that their own default apps get special consideration in features and abilities. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to background their iPod app...
Both are fairly fundamental parts of SharePoint for the integration features, but you would never expose either to the world when using an external facing SharePoint deployment. Also your SharePoint server should be behind an application aware firewall such as ISA Server anyway.
Nope, it just didn't work at all. I didn't even notice it until I was badgered enough to install Skype, and even then installing the driver didn't work. Ho hum. Thanks for the suggestion tho.
Your post is 'totally bogus' because no one is suggesting the people being tested 'hope' for something in this regard.
The question is - how much of a delay causes the bulk of your customer base to walk away, and what mitigation factors can you put in place to keep them.
As long as they make this plan change after your initial term is up, it isn't a bait and switch - no one is forced to provide the same service indefinitely, especially when the original contract has expired.
I have installed the Windows 7 Beta and RC on a Dell XPS M1530 - the only thing that didn't work fine after the install was the microphone, but other than that I had zero issues with drivers. Even the wifi card was setup and ready to go.
The problem is, yesterdays viruses were written by spotty virgins still in high school, usually mainly for the group kudos gained from knowing that your virus is hurting others, and people knowing about it.
Yesterdays viruses were spread via floppy or similar attack vectors, resulting in a slow spread that was pretty useless if you wished to make money from them.
Todays viruses have the benefit of the internet - the same people are making the viruses, but they grew up and learnt the value of money and they now have a way to monetise their skills (horrible word, but descriptive). Botnets for hire, denial of service threats, data theft et al. And the most money is to be made off the most popular platform.
Spotty virgins are still producing viruses, but they are the script kiddies using other peoples tools - which will be aimed at the most popular platforms.
If you don't like how class action lawsuits work then don't take part, pay your own lawyers (or represent yourself) in your own case against the other party - and reap all the reward yourself. Oh, and take all the risk yourself too - people seem to conveniently forget that the 'class' in a 'class action' rarely take any of the risk of the lawsuit onboard themselves, while their lawyers do.

And how long is that reimplementation to your requirements likely to take, even with an existing package as the base? Thats the problem.

And yet people on Slashdot don't want to allow ISPs to have full control over their own networks....

I've seen every episode, and I still say the show sucked, but thats my opinion and it differs from yours.

And you wonder why they won't let you use your existing plan? :)

So who gets to pay for the 'free' expert? The other side?

Not much smaller though - 450MB on my installed-last-week-and-patched-to-the-hilt Macbook Air.
Does it really include 'on demand'? What do their distribution licneses say? You are assuming something fundamental there...
Its working well, thanks for asking...
