OK - I should have been more selective in my phrasing. I currently have many more options with i386 than I do with powerPC. How many distros are there for PowerPC right now - 3 (LinuxPPC, YellowDog, MXLinux)? There's also nothing that says I don't want to have Windows on my machine, too. The hardware options, while growing, are still pretty limited. My first goal would be to get rid of those fruity cases.
I would never discount the Mac. If it weren't for their blunders during the Gil Amelio days (ok you can make clones, wait we take it back - or - we are recalling the 5300's because they tend to ignite) they might still have a very significant piece of the pie. I figure that there have to be a lot of closet Macaddicts out there who are just waiting for a reason to go back.
That's surprising. They looked just like they would stopped? I guess with a flash photo close up it would do that.
By the way - bin laden with an e not an i
His point is valid. If it were spinning you would just see a blur unless you were using some incredibly fast shutter speed. This of course would not be the case with an indoor picture. Clearly the computer was not running when the picture was taken.
You know my parents' stove actually has a sabath setting. You set a time for it to automatically light on Saturday morning. They're not Jewish but it came with the stove. Always seemed dangerous to me.
To clarify my own post before getting attacked. This is true when you use windows update. I believe that if you download the corporate versions of these patches they can be uninstalled from the Add/Remove Programs dialog. I know I have a list of hotfixes in mine.
Also note that only some of the updates need to installed separately - IE updates for one. A lot of patches can be installed all at one time and then the machine rebooted.
You are in charge of updating Windows installations and you don't know how to download patches without using WindowsUpdate? Seems to me that you shouldn't let your employers know about that.
It depends on what you are doing. If you are making a hobby site then go ahead and focus on IE. If you are building an e-commerce site you should make it work on as many browsers as possible (all the way back at least to 3.0's) and make it standards compliant for future compatibility.
You should also realize that if you go on job interviews and say you can only write for IE you won't get very far. Some companies still use Netscape as their supported browser.
So the analogy is actually pretty good then. It's like running a newer OS on a 486. You might get in running but it will run like crap (assuming you're GUI).
I thought that leaded cars could run on unleaded. It was the other way around that was the problem. I mean people still drive some old cars that I am guessing that they use unleaded with.
"Amirshahi said that while Cox doesn't "actively scan" its network to detect the ports used by VPN clients, it does scan the network for excessive bandwidth usage."
Most cable providers will bitch and moan if you use too much bandwidth no matter how you use it.
KPMG - up until the merger of PriceWaterhouse and Coopers and Lybrand - was the largest public accounting firm in the World. This publicity, whether good or bad, means nothing to them. Switching accounting firms is a huge process that requires filing an 8K with the SEC explaining why they switched. This, along with having to re-explain everything to new auditors, makes switching a very difficult process.
As for their song. I worked there for just over 2 years (long enough to be certified and then out the door) and never once heard mention of any song. I assume it came along after I left.
Apple should be legally banned from providing any version of OS 7. That OS was the downfall of Apple. It's one of the reasons that I hate Apple more than you guys hate Microsoft. I can't tell you how many hours I lost to the freezes and crashes. Used to have restart the damn machine everytime I switched applications otherwise it would lock two minutes in.
When we finally switched to NT we were going to have a Mac bonfire to celebrate (but building security didn't like the idea).
Some people were lucky enough to get G3's with OS 8 which was even worse. I made good friends with the Mac tech who was on our floor everyday (wonder what happened to him). I say Mac tech but he had no better chance of fixing those pieces of crap than my mother. It was all just trial and error. Let's remove this extension - nope that didn't work. I remeber being told to remove all but the base OS extensions and then add them one at a time until I found the one that caused the problem.
I could go on but the memories are way too painful.
What does this say about Windows NT, et al.? Absolutely nothing. NT began development in 1988 and was basically OS/2 3.0. It wasn't until 1992 that the first beta was released and 1994 when the final version became available as NT 3.1 (which was the next number in the OS/2 series and conventiently similar to Windows for Workgroups 3.11).
So Windows NT isn't a complete rewrite of MS-DOS but an entire break from DOS originally by IBM and Microsoft. Unfortunately, it took 13 years and several crappy os's (9X's and ME) to get there.
You really should ask your parents how it works. Most insurance companies wait 30 days before paying anything in case the car is found. If it is found it depends on what your coverage is whether you get anything. If it is found you will only get the blue book value which might be less than what you have left in payments.
If you lease and have gap insurance then you don't pay anything on the stolen car but you still have get a new car and pay all of the upfront costs (which on my last car was several grand).
This is more my experience. I set myself for at least one whine each night. That is except for the nights with the threats to throw the computer out while I am not home.

First line of the article. Helps to read, then post.
While these steps may exist in every project I think that the focus often falls on the coding when really the coding is the easy piece.
My big thing is getting the user involved throughout the process. I've seen too many projects where guys ask a few questions, go off and code for two months, and then come back with something that is way off track.

Who modded this a troll? Propietary hardware isn't a legit beef? Sounds like a sour-grapes macaddict.

The propietary hardware will always hold me back from a mac. I like having the ability to install any OS on my machine.

To clarify my own post before getting attacked. This is true when you use windows update. I believe that if you download the corporate versions of these patches they can be uninstalled from the Add/Remove Programs dialog. I know I have a list of hotfixes in mine.
Usually interim patches are not uninstallable. Only when an official service pack is released can you uninstall it.
Also note that only some of the updates need to installed separately - IE updates for one. A lot of patches can be installed all at one time and then the machine rebooted.

Doesn't need a new law. I believe that releasing OS 7 was attempted murder. I know it nearly killed me (and Apple).

I seem to remember asking a tow truck driver about this once and he said it was bullshit. Either way a flatbed would work.

Thanks for the great posts. I've just started working with JSP/Servlets so Tomcat is what I've been using.
