"Sometimes we automatically assume that the latest platform or tool is the universal best. Read about two situations where the old approaches worked better."
This makes me think we're not dealing with BSD people here.
Seriously though, if a new technology offers something valuable for the future, and speed is a problem, upgrading my not be a bad thing. If performance is an issue for you, it's gonna be an issue for someone else. Also bigger, badder machines are always coming out, so you can maybe solve the speed problem there.
It all comes down to the question: what are we getting out of the migration that makes it worthwhile.
Jerry Bruckheimer, or else some horrible summer movie will be made where we threaten to level the mountains and Bruce Willis has to single handedly save the day by trading his life for the weather of Western Europe. We'll call it "The Peak" or "Plateau" or something.
There are bigger problems with the credit card system than the magnetic strip. There is no good reason for me to give my credit card number to ANYONE, even a retailer. The credit system should use a public key system so I can make purchases at retailers and not have to worry about the kid at the register walking away with my card number. The powers that be invested heavily in fraud protection rather than a good system.
People use IIS for two reasons: it's preinstalled on Windows servers and it's got a pretty interface unlike apache, which doesn't come with a gui interface. I think that's pretty important for people who don't know all of the options for their server. It's been my general gripe with text files for config anyway--you don't see all of the options.
Cynthia throws the errors, but doesn't specify exactly what went wrong. For instance, the rule (paraphrasing) "every non-text element must contain an alt or longdesc tag" gets thrown, but doesn't say where the offense is coming from. In that same rule, Cynthia says that inputs must be inside forms. Why not break up the rules and show the user where they "went wrong". (by the way, I couldn't find in the page what she was complaining about--it checked out with Bobby and the validator)
My thought wasn't that you couldn't page through the interface, but rather the people who don't know what they're looking for. The spontaneous sales will lag, as no one will be able to say "Reader Rabbit, hey my niece will like that". The flashing random title names does NOT make up for that. That's what shopping is. Buying stuff is what this allows you to do. Unless you spend an hour in front of one of the kiosks, holding up the store traffic.
People like looking at the box to make sure it's the right thing. I can only assume that most consumers won't be using this service, as they wouldn't necessarily know what software they're looking for. There's a reason it's called shopping, and not buying stuff.
Creating competition does not mean that every company is out to totally eradicate the competition. Who would AOL-Time-Warner-Trapperkeeper-Netscape purchase if they started running people out of business?
I am astounded at the lack of more viable options for generating electricity. When I took Nuclear Engineering 101 and found out that a fission reactor's job was to boil water to create steam which turns a turbine, I was flabberghasted.
is the switching between tabs. It should be (I think) a stack in order of use, not cycling through. Every time I open a new tab and Ctrl-Tab in Phoenix, I want to go back to the previous tab.

Do you realize you're asking a man who goes by "Taco" to listen to reason?
You just lost your rights to complain about bloatware.
Not every frickin' thing needs a pull-down menu!
quicktime 6.1 has been available for some time now for the mac, I wonder if this has been the holdup on windows....
you're the cause of so much wasted time (outside of /. ;)

Copy the text to ViM (not sure about Vi), then do a "g?" Works for me.
May I suggest a cupholder?
1. Make a website with a gaming aspect (comic, review, etc.)
2. As it becomes popular (this might take several years)--you will become a blip on the game companies' radar.
3. Remember to rip/praise the game on your website.

It really is an article about the future!

They knew they age of the footprint by the age of the dog crap that was stepped in.

Did the developer preview from last Oct have the extra goodies? I hope it's really fast, but of course, I hope everything's really fast.

The brothers W. want to release Super Matrix Fighter II Championship Edition Alpha III. With a title like that, it can't possibly suck.

but I haven't experienced "DLL-hell" on Windows since 95. Not that it doesn't happen, but is this a feature whose time is over before it arrives?
Now, (rpm|dpkg)-hell, that's another story...
I think the problem comes down to convincing people to pay for a service to let other people view their banal lives...
