You contradict yourself. Why would you look for another doctor, when he is an expert with experience?
I'd better have two, three, four, five or even TEN expert opinions that I don't agree with than just listening to a smart 16-year old who thinks he is the biggest genius in the world. They know what they are talking about, while you are just a kid with a lot to learn in your life.
Is it because you are judging on your own limited knowledge...?
What if the doctor said ear candling works, and I said it doesn't? Should he just go ahead and follow the doctor, even though I can explain how and why ear candling does not work?
In that case, I'll would look for another doctor. It doesn't matter that you are smart or anything else, people need an *expert* opinion from someone with many years of academic and professional experience.
That's the way society works. You can't just claim that you know something, you must prove it.
When I want information about skyscrapers, I ask an Engineer about it, not someone who just read about it in some book.
...I think both of you are wrong in this discussion, but I'll bite that:
If a doctor told you ear candling works, what would you say? After all, he's an authority, and you're not.
Imagine that someone tells him to walk around with ice on his pants.
If a doctor tells him to do that, he'll at least think about it.
If a 16 year old person tells him to do that, he'll just laugh.
That's just the way the world works. Doctors are people who devoted decades to the profession, and people respect their opinions because of that.
It's not about receiving orders from someone with authority, but trusted opinions.
Usability: Not just "that GUI is pretty" but also "this GUI is compatible with most people way of thinking".
Consistency: Not just "look, ma! I got translucent Windows", but also "all my applications act and feel the same, I don't need to learn how to use 38674 interface styles".
Standards: Can we have solid APIs based on well documented standards? Like something that allows me to run a 4 year old binary, and not just source-based apps?.
That's all I want, not a collection of pretty demos, but a real desktop.
Isn't "number of transistors per integrated circuit" the definition of transistor density?
therefore, isn't the doubling of the number of transistors == the doubling of the density?
Well, you can have a bigger die, stacked dies, multiple dies, etc. etc.
You are aware that Moore's Law is about the doubling of density of transistors and not "computing power" or some such undefinable quantity? Moore's law will be broken simply because physical entities cannot follow an exponential growth for very long. Computing power will still increase.
Nope, Moore's law is about transistor count.
From Intel's website: "Moore observed an exponential growth in the number of transistors per integrated circuit and predicted that this trend would continue. "
In the case that you meant it earnest ($p \approx 0$): Of course, for many companies, their SMB shares are mission critical. Not the client, but the server and the files.
I'm sorry, but Samba is not the appropriate choice for anything critical.
This is immensely useful in a mission critical environment when you have to figure our exactly why one person in particular out of the entire network is having trouble.
A mission critical environment using SMB to share its files? Are you sure?
Seems to me, more linux/apache boxes out on the net means more targets. IIS holds about 24% and apache is about 64%.
Apache does not mean Linux. According to Netcraft, Linux webserver participation is 30% on *websites*, while Windows almost 50% of physical webservers are running Windows
Rich and poor, very defined. Kids huffing gas, and police squads killing kids.
Police squads *killed* kids a few times. Not much different from US, where cops beat up any afro-american who looks "suspect".
Hospitals going defunct, and leaving medical equipment that is radioactive on the streets up for grabs. No one knowing any better putting stuff in thier mouths cause it looks cool.
It happened once and people made a movie about it. Not all the time. Period.
CCD sensors, as mentioned above, create high-quality, low-noise images. CMOS sensors, traditionally, are more susceptible to noise.
Because each pixel on a CMOS sensor has several transistors located next to it, the light sensitivity of a CMOS chip tends to be lower. Many of the photons hitting the chip hit the transistors instead of the photodiode.
CMOS chips can be fabricated on just about any standard silicon production line, so they tend to be extremely inexpensive compared to CCD sensors.
I suggest anybody developing not-for-profit sites to simply save themselves the trouble and not make any special effort to support IE. Code to the standards. If IE can still show your page then great. If not then let the users know IE sucks - put a 'Works best with Mozilla.' button on your page to link to where users can download Mozilla. Circa 1997 gimmicks still work.;)
I don't think so. People will not stop and think "omg, IE really doesn't follow Web Standards, Mozilla is great!" because most users don't know anything about HTML, they'll just think your page is broken.
The thing is, most artists who should be afraid of singles downloads are the bad ones, who have only 2-3 decent tracks on an album. I'm surprised to see Radiohead opposed to this, as their albums are always really good both as a whole and track-per-track, and each album has such a definite feel to it that you can't go by just buying one single, you need the album. So they're pretty safe, imho. For the likes of Britney Spears or such, though... be afraid, be very afraid >:-)
The real problem is that you only know that their entire album is worth listening because you bought it.
In this new model people would only feel confident to buy what's being played on the radio. "Wow, that music I bought for another 1 dollar is good! Oh yeah I'm lucky!".
Traditional monolithic kernels like Linux (and UNIX and NT/XP--and don't try pretending that NT/XP is a "microkernel") are appealing for budding operating system projects because it's easy to hack something together quickly.
Just because you don't fell like saying anything positive about an architecture that Microsoft also uses, that doesn't make NT less of a microkernel.
I think you should read more about the subject, before making this kind of false affirmation.
Brazil is NOT moving its computers to Open Source, and we are not even close to having a law or even a government decision about mandatory Open Source Software.

BTW, it would cost us billions to make a mass-move to *any* other software system, why we would do that in the middle of a BIG recession (4% decrease in industrial production)?
Actually, thats not quite true, at least not in my city.
When I was an assistant manager at a local retail store we found one of the employees had stolen several thousand dollars from the company. This brought the "Asset Protection" people into play and they came to the store.
An arrest was made but because the employee made an agreement to pay back the money, the local police *would* *not* charge her with a criminal offense.
Well, it happenned this way because the people envolved had an agreement. I don't believe that's gonna happen in SCO's case ("ok people, just remove the code and we are all ok").

Opera crashes to the point where you have to *reinstall* it so you can run it again.
All you have to do is run a very large 'news:' URL.
