Can you define "good people" please. Is that someone with skills? Someone with loyalty? It's a different world everybody is trying to save their own ass.
If there is one thing I learned about school. The less you play by their rules the more successful you become. It's no wonder that I know so many college dropouts who are now very successful business owners and employees in all kinds of companies. And so many A students keep going back to school cause they can't find a job. Note that I am speaking for so many people I have seen, not flamebaiting.
There ought to be a college study done one day to prove that getting As and MBAs is useless the majority of the time. The irony is that this kind of study would never float for schools. It's like cigarette companies doing a study on their own toxicity.
I have heard that the xbox live service runs the connection to a centralized server instead of connecting directly client-to-client like PS2. I don't know if this is true. All I know is that the PS2 connections are client-to-client for the majority of games and dropouts are rare. Slow if they have 56k, but still usable.
This is BS. If the economy complains about the excessive amount of software out there, they should complain about the number of versions in proprietory software first. Do you really need Office 95, 97, 2000, xp, 2003?
They haven't abused their power because they weren't public, and they had limited manpower before. Both have changed recently. They are now publicly traded with more at stake than ever. They are hiring thousands, and when the new workforce settle in 2006/2007. Google will be dangerous.
Competition is good, but everyone knows the times have changed. They are not competiting to put better games in your living room. They are competiting for standards and DRM rights and other BS.
The biggest reason for me to NOT invest in a Xbox 360 is that I fear more monopoly tactics from Microsoft. EA is already too much for the video game industry.
I used google maps and earth, and never looked back. The satellite view is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I can finally look at the surrounding and get an idea what the place really looks like. Yahoo need to fill that void.
I truely believe the lifespan of the drives shortening has to do with powering up and down the PCs repeatedly. Ever since I began leaving my PC running 24x7, the disks have been lasting so much longer.
If that theory is not true, then I owe it to the IBM deskstar 80GBs and 60GBs. I have multiple of these drives and they have lasted years.
No need to scare this poor guy for coming out as a unisys employee. If anything there needs to be more people speaking out internally instead of letting marketing do all the talking.
While the above post was marked flamebait there is too much truth to it. Data are very poorly managed behind doors for financial firms, hospitals and credit card companies in general. They have a very high layoff rate in the IT departments and the scale of the data they manage daily is overwhelming. Their IT guys are not the "money-making" group, therefore they are expandable... and so is their data.
One day there should be a race to see if the best group of programmers and mathematicians can come up with a way to query off a text file faster than the fastest relational DB.
It has a couple functions but to call it a desktop is way too early. The question is when will Google stop riding the bear. "Requires Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP 3+".
After 100,000 lines of code, someone should realize this is impossible or damn close to it. But I gotta give credit where it's due. This is quite a think-outside-the-box idea.
Impressive. The Phantom box announced 3.0 ghz processing and 7.0 surround sound in 2003. They even run a windows xpe kernel that even Bill Gates didn't know exist.
I can see why there is so much frustration with netware as it always seem to rely on that second OS for the frontend. Like a windows box. Netware do have alot of problems, but scaling is no where on that list.

Could Germany's government cash shortage have anything to do with the population decrease crisis. People just aren't having enough kids down there.
That is probably good worry assuming every MMORPG is on the PC. Perhaps the next generation of hit games are on the console.

If the front cover player is cursed, shouldn't the music artist be too?

Everything was ok up until the ECS 741GX-M. That was the turn off point right there.
ROFLMAO...

So how much did tuition increase by with the new Wifi? Isn't it already $40,000 a year at MIT after room, board, books, food.
- Howard Stern as Dracula.
- Michael Jackson as one of the mummies.
- Fabio as the Belmont.
The director should make sure non of them open their mouth and the movie will be a smash hit.... comedy.

Ellison has been throwing money at Pillar Data Systems. I think even he realized that Oracle has maxed out long time ago.
People worship it because it is launched by NASA. A research firm with heavy duty marketing and political roots.

ROFLMAO. Someone hook this dude up with +5 funny. I am all out of points.
