And I've got a shareware program thats been downloaded thousands of times but nobody has sent me $20. I have lost 100s of 1000s of dollars to this theft! I need legislation!!
I think these assertions miss the point of software. The PDA as a standalone entity is dead. The PDA functionality is as alive as ever. Therefore if you are in the PDA 'functionality' as opposed to hardware business, you are as viable as ever.
Same goes for ipod. You can't say ipod is dead because something else does its functionality. You can only say its hardware is dead. Software lives on.
A cellphone is to US companies is a portal to their service package, and as such, they will try hard to keep cellphones plain. A cheaper cellphone means people will be willing to pay higher contract prices.
An expensive do it all cellphone makes the phone the primary object and not the service contract.
There is politics to consider in addition to technology.
The more steps you add to a intuitively simply process as popping in a CD and pushing play, the more annoyed end users will be. And the less likely they are to use your tedious product, on a subconcious level.
This will make the negative feelings surrounding systems like pay-per-view seem less so.
Hardly a Chicago problem. The basic argument is that most of the "questionable" voters on most states voter roles tend to be the poor, who are more likely than the average population to be minorities (no value judgement here--just statistics)
Statistics...I'm willing to bet there are more poor White people in america than any other group.
Thats an excellent observation. And considering that China and Japan own the largest share of US debt by any Nation, I doubt its in their interest to let the us dollar fall.
letting the US dollar fall by unpegging it would probably cause the yuan to fall, causing the dollar to fall further, creating a pretty damn bad situation.
the dolby decoder on the nforce 2 is pretty pathetic. The encoder is fine though. If you plan to listen to 5.1 you should get a plugin card, or an external decoder.
Intels problem is that they let marketing rule over technology. They been going for high MHz because it was easy advertising, while AMD been going for better technology since they needed badly to cool their chips off.
Anyone could have predicted this would happen to intel. I am sure intel knew it.
What AMD must do now is fight all the free advertising intel gets from folks like HP and Dell and CompUSA, etc...
apples n oranges. will is not an electrochemical term. It can not be measured physically. So to say there is no free will because the physical universe is predictable, is mixing apples n oranges.
I loved programming when i went to college pre-internet days. But it wasn't all that big a field, and I liked EE too. So I got my EE degree. Then when internet came i was reinvigorated and got a MSCE (Computer engineering).
My answer is to get one first, make a little money, then get the other if you still love it. Jobs tend to help out with these things too.
The marketing firm known as SCO has of course deep pokets due to their financing and elimination of any productive branches of their business.
Not only have they marketed their Linux FUD, but appearantly they are good at marketing themselves as valuable as well. Else why would any sane company continue to fun this obvious lawyers party?
I think the question is do we put real people in real positions with real qualifications. Or do we continue to hire our friends and relatives and cronies to important positions.
I think this comes from the belief that shit happens and you can't stop it so you might as well give the job to a friend who can't stop it either. I disagree. The politicisation of important US security institutions is going to result in very bad security.
A design document is not the same as a requirments document. as a example see IEEE 1233 for a description of a requirements specification.
Design document is lower level. It shoudl describe how you are going to deal with the requirements. Perhaps its just that what you call 3 sections, is for some 3 seperate documents. Created and managed by different parts of a business sometiems.

No doubt. Auto industry did the same thing with their engineers, and still do.

The chinese government decided long ago to create their own in house Linux called Red Flag I believe. Not sure what its based on.

Does supporting countries and companies that treat their workers like dirt and pay them little to nothing amount to satisfying our moral obligation?
Countries should respect their workers. Then I will accept their cheaper products without complaint (for the most part).
Why is it that USA must step down to everyone else's level? Why can't they step up?
the only thing not submersed in oil is the hard disk.
Ironic.
Yes, you can use water. Any non-conductive liquid will do. Of course tap water is conductive. you would have to use a very pure distilled water.
The oil will certainly be more difficult on the fans, im not sure if it has any corrosive effect.
If you can find the original story, as I did its certainly worth a read. You will be astonished.
Though I have not read any of her other stories, Maureen has obviously had some kind of breakdown.
How an editor could have let that story through is beyond me completely.
If they dont drop the price and the production cost is significantly reduced its called price gouging and they can get into trouble.
The market is competitive. I doubt they could sustain artifically high prices for long anyway.
Its the decoding thats poor.
the dolby decoder on the nforce 2 is pretty pathetic. The encoder is fine though. If you plan to listen to 5.1 you should get a plugin card, or an external decoder.
exactly. And I can answer and send text messages while I am in a meeting without looking like an asshole.

Perhaps you want to say there is no free action?
Yes, traditional blame game. The people at the top get heard, so they are able to pass the blame onto people that do not get heard.
This can't possibly be the typists fault. Even if he/she wanted to release classified info, their should be a review process that would prevent it.

.net competes with j2ee, not Java.
They are trying to defeat interoperability in order to narrow the playing field. They don't want to compete, they want free money.

Exactly, so why should I with my market dominance make it easy for upstart distros to have more software to run on them??
You think microsoft is the only one that plays these games?
I can see where the application developers would want a standard, but I can't see why the distro developers would.
