I haven't had any issues with them yet. So far it's been fine. My site works and my RSS feeds work. Now if they move me to an IIS server, I will leave despite all that.
See I would be tempted to inject some stupid or pointless statements on my lecture and then make that worth points on a final.
"Where we think of gravity as a function of mass we only think of it as a characteristic of relatviely large units of mass. Yet, all matter has some degree of force and energy. Scooby-snacks are a tasty means for our hero to carb up!"
"Teacher decides that students desires and wants are not nearly as important as her doing her job! Students shocked!" This is stupid. A professor not allowing laptops in her class is not an afront to technology. Laptops don't belong everywhere no more than cell phones do or anything else. Bottom line? It's her class. The kids should grow up. The fact that anyone would bitch about this is EXACTLY why this professor is probably doing the right thing.
You are correct. People have this weird notion that people horde money as if the paper itself has inherent value. There are really only a few reasons to save money. The unexpected, big ticket items like cars etc, or to build future wealth. However, in the long run you will spend far more day-to-day if you have more. Take a man who makes a million a year. Yes, he may invest a lot of that. He may even save a good portion. However, he's also not going to eat bologna and cheese. He's going to eat out at nicer restaurants, he's going to drive nice cars, and he's buying the bigger house. This is human nature. People who are all about taxation as a great equalizer are simply socialists. They have a skewed understanding of human nature. One reason democracy in America works like it does is that it allows humans to pursue more of their dreams. The Fair Tax will augment this. Taxation as we have it now stifles competition and simply isn't designed to work for its citizens' full potential. Instead of envying the rich, people should start thinking of ways to join them.
That's a lot of text for someone who fundamentally has no clue. Who do you think opens businesses? Who do you think buys stock? Who do you think purchases big ticket items?
"Microsoft today announced Atlas: An effort to infect the largely FOSS platforms collectively known as AJAX with Microsoft's own ASP technology. One spokesman said, 'We've been largely left out of the AJAX party. Maybe they think that's why its successful, but for who? Not us! WAAAAH!'"
More Innovation Through Impersonation. I think Microsoft's addiction to markets is the issue here. They want the search market, they want the MP3 player market, they want this they want that. They end up with a lot of products that are fair, some that are great, and all of this diversification siphons attention away from perfecting things like Windows. They want it all. I hope they persue it all, frankly. Maybe they'll start making cars, toilet paper, TV's. The more money they can waste the better. They will not get the search market under the name "Microsoft" because people equate that with MSN. They won't kill the iPod because Apple already gives the client away and has a player that is practically ubiquitous. C'mon, Microsoft, keep dumping money into stuff other than Windows so you can lose that market too!
"The Big Bang theory isn't what is under question. It is a pretty solid theory, and very well accepted in the scientific community." hehehe You're funny!..oh wait you're serious....uh.. I will say you've got your classical argument down. "Sssshhhhh! Everyone keep talking about how everyone is doing it and Timmy will start smoking too!
Agreed. Gate's relies on dependence. He's no different than a drug dealer, he's just legal. He has no real concern for innovation or furthering technology. This is precisely why his products are more flashy than dependable. Damn! This horse is just a pile of batted meat now, eh?
Wasn't he reluctant to offer Windows in a scaled-down version for developing countries? Now he's slamming someone's efforts to help spread technology. You'd think he'd be big enough to say, "More power to them. This is good no matter who's doing it." Ah, but it's not him and he's not profitting from it. So much for his big heart.
How convenient that you throw the distro name in with the release name and wonder why they think it's funny. There are many other companies that do this. Microsoft has had its share of code names and if you called Windows by those names they wouldn't even know they were running it. Maybe your friends were laughing because they know you.
And it's not so much that "SuSE" is a better name than "Novell" so much as SuSE is recognized as the Linux distro. Novell = Linux distro just doesn't exist in anyone's mind yet.
"After discovering that our customers didn't know WTF Novell Desktop Linux was, but oddly enough had heard of SuSE, we're changing our Linux line back to SuSE!"
"pure troll who says no-one except Miguel loves Mono"
Maybe others "like" it then. I submit that it's basically a non-app. I know of no one using it seriously. Yet, we're constantly told of how great its GOING to be. Usually, by Miguel himself.
"In conclusion, people should not "judge" an OS based on the potential for it to have problems..."
So.....exactly what ARE they supposed to judge it on?
Pricy, oversized PDA. This is a device looking for a market. Tablet PC's haven't taken off why should this? Manufacturing, maybe other business markets but with people moving away from PDA's in general, I can't see this being a big deal. It will be a hit with the "Check this out" crowd that has to have the latest gadget but most will find themselves wondering, "Why did I get this again?" The Sony portable play station sits idle in many desks. OTOH, anything that Microsoft can do to waste money is fine with me!

An IE vulnerability! That's news!
Is it shaped like a woman's mouth? I mean, that's a highly critical hole.

Keep in mind it was Clinton/Gore who gave the big telcos several hundred billion to fiber everything by '06. That worked out well.
"Oh and thanks for personally attacking me for making a comment about a distro's name dip shit."
Point taken. That was a bit outside.
How convenient that you throw the distro name in with the release name and wonder why they think it's funny. There are many other companies that do this. Microsoft has had its share of code names and if you called Windows by those names they wouldn't even know they were running it. Maybe your friends were laughing because they know you.
This way, they can pocket more of the billions that Congress gave them in the 90's for that fiber project that was to go live in '06.
And it's not so much that "SuSE" is a better name than "Novell" so much as SuSE is recognized as the Linux distro. Novell = Linux distro just doesn't exist in anyone's mind yet.
It's called a joke, morons. Don't breed.
Maybe Apple will finally appoint a Security Czar and take care of these flaws and all you Apple Fanboys....oh wait...
"After discovering that our customers didn't know WTF Novell Desktop Linux was, but oddly enough had heard of SuSE, we're changing our Linux line back to SuSE!"
Right now they're busy coming to grips with this coming from a Clinton and not a Bush.
