I think you mean the Air Force got the F16 Eagle. F18 is the Hornet.
Additionally the F15 and F16 designs were rammed down the Air Force's throat. They wanted nothing to do with it. Heck, they really didn't want the F16.
Read the biography on Colonel John Boyd, who designed the modern day air fighter.
and all the feedback we got from our friends and family was overwhelming
I'm assuming your focus group extended beyond your friends and family to include independent reviewers.
I cook in my spare time, and almost everyone always tells me how great my dishes are. And yet when I taste my dishes from a critical perspective, I can tell when it is right or wrong. I have a very limited group who will tell me the cold hard truth.
I was curious and started reading a little about welding. One of the tips was:
Q: Does An AC Output Have Any Advantages?
A: Yes, if you need to weld on material that's become magnetized from friction, such as when hay, feed or water constantly rub against a steel part. A DC output won't work because of "arc blow," where the magnetic field blows the molten filler metal out of the weld puddle. Because an AC output alternates between polarities, it enables you to weld magnetized parts.
With all things hypothetical, and that I am not an electrical engineer (please feel free to correct me) just someone who has worked on his house too often, couldn't something like fiberglass insulation, induce a static charge that could magnetize the joist? (A friend of mine was hauling insulation into his house, and vacuumed the stuff that fell out, and the static electricity blew out his vacuum cleaner and tripped the circuit. He told me never to vacuum without misting it first). I don't know how much and even if it is possible, but since most wiring is run along joists and studs, etc, can the current be altered enough by the magnetized beams to mess with an electrical device?
I know how to do basic electrical work around the house. This kind of stuff exceeds my basic knowledge.
Actually they are small magnets, and have very strong magnetic field, in one direction only.
Using a jeweler's screwdriver as a lever they separate very easily. Of course if you forget to remove the screws holding them in, they are very hard to remove.
The magnetic field is very very localized. The backing plates they are attached to are thick enough to block the magnetic field on the other side. And by thick enough, I mean they are less than 5 mm in thickness.
I routinely take apart hard drives for my office just so I can get the magnets. They serve as a very nice fridge magnet. They suck for holding the beer bottle opener though.
I found it amusing, mostly because it reminds me of me years ago, when I was a naive developer. Now I'm more worldly, not necessarily wiser, very much more cynical and not trusting.
Even further down the author actually admits "As we said in our post, we deserved what we got, because we did indeed agree to it". Simply put, if they had asked the right question, and not beat around the bush, they would have gotten it explained.
They make this comment, which I found kind of snot nosed brat kind of comment, back to Amazon at the initial onset:
We’d be happy to reconsider if you decided to pay us the 20% that we agreed to in our original developer agreement, but this new one seems to favour only you, at the expense of us?
Amazon's response is:
... and in fact, with as the Free of the Day for one day, you will receive a subsequent Appstore main page placement for the following 14 days. All these highly valuable placements are at no cost to you. We want to promote your app and in exchange of the placements, at the 0% rev share for one day only.
Amazon never said they would get 20%. Matter of fact, Amazon emphasis that there is no expense to the developers to get potentially highly profitable placement.
Their actual technical complaints, slightly valid, accounts for about 7 bullet points, and 20 sentences. Their first technical point is rather naive. Assuming that Amazon would immediately post something is... well stupid. Just cause Google does it, does not mean Amazon is Google.
The developer's use of the words "expense" implied a different meaning to people in marketing and sales. The developer's point was that they would not make money and have costs of supporting the free sales. The marketing / sales / accounting people, think of expense as the cost of doing business. Grasshopper chose his words poorly.
The reality is they do not have enough business savvy. They hopefully will gain this over time.
Its always amusing to me cause in college, CS and Business Admin students mock each other. And yet when it comes to the real world, they both need knowledge from the others area of expertise.
This always cracks me up when people make these arguments about the Apple model.
They want it open and available to everyone. But they want it secure and safe.
I want it open, safe, and secure.
If it is open, it is not safe.
If you want it secure, its not open.
So far both models have tried their choice and are failing at making EVERYONE happy. Hence the reason they target one side of the equation and make just those people happy.
As long as their is an audience, there will be complaints.
As far as editing documents, documents are just data. An application is just an extraction layer for interaction with data. Architecture is a whole different game.
I think it will take a huge amount of money and energy into replacing Exchange Server. It is deeply entrenched in Corporate America. A migration to a new architecture is a huge undertaking not just in new software but in migration of existing to the new. That means in house IT. Thats a huge cost with NO return on investment.
Throw in all the components that come with the Windows Server architecture, Active Directory, whatchamacallits, whozits and doo-dads, and the relatively easier integration between those components, and what will someone have?
Let's face, when you have an Exchange server with thousands of accounts with thousands of messages, how do you get that to a new iMail / Gmail server?
Now for new companies a new, low cost, easy to maintain nicely integrated email system is what they need. Something that is easy to setup, very stable, and a set it and forget it.
As far as an Outlook replacement, that's the easier part. Outlook is just the data interaction layer. Ergo, like Excel.
Some people keep having the autocomplete kick in when they start using the keyboard. Here is how to get the keyboard to work.
There is a spot just under the strings, to the left of the record button. If you mouse over it, your mouse pointer will change to a cursor. It is a relatively decent size area, so you have a decent area to click. Click here.
This is essentially the spot where the widget is for the playback dealie bopper.

The 99% want their share of the 1%...
It needs MMS so that it can send the photos of it getting eaten by the elephant so that we can see the inside of it.
A new way to throw up a ball... for the literal majors...
So what were hearing is that the rich want to get rich by screwing the little guy?

Highly doubtful you would be able to change drivers in a short enough time to exceed the speed limit between toll gate A and B.

Never underestimate the end users to do something unscripted that causes programmers to scream "WHY WOULD YOU EVER DO THAT!"
Will promptly have you back scattered, strip searched, anal probed and put on the Terrorist Watch List if they catch you with these.
If you have to buy locally, find your nearest Costco. Much better return policy!
Spoken like someone who never attended UW.
NO!!! Cause then we'd have aliens thinking we're all Wookies, or Force trained people who fly XWings... And that would really suck...

I'll say it... No tickee... no workie!
Facebook is just the Evercrack for the masses, ie nongeeks
In fact, Windows Vista and 7 already come with .NET pre-installed, so there's no need to download anything to run a .NET app.
Cause I really enjoyed the latest .net Framework 3.5 and 4 security updates that was nearly 400 MB... Thank you MS!

This works in Chrome, IE8, and Firefox.
