I think the reason a lot of people look for degrees when filling jobs is that it is a good sign of the work ethic and desire to finish of the person. In the absence of an extensive job history it is all a lot of people have to go on to know if the person who may know the skills will actually show up and do the work.
This is the most funny post I have read about the wingnuts and their search for a cause. You win the internet... oh wait, that might be anti-Flamer as the internet was built by the government
I see this as a gating technology. As more get installed and you can see your electricity usage from the web, etc I bet there are more projects that take advantage of it or expand it to other areas of the house.
of it's software, but has no problem trying to not pay for taxes. Seems if microsoft is leading by example then people should have no problem getting microsoft software for free.
in spite of the hardware problems, I have used vista and I hated it. Why do I have to re-learn everything because microsoft wants to try to sell more copies of an OS? It should make you life easier, not harder. And completely ignoring things like boot time, security, and backwards comparability (the things the Customer actually cares about), while bending over backwards to make sure DRM for hollywood is in the OS is really just shooting yourself in the foot.
microsoft not understanding what Customers want to do with an OS is not the Customers fault. If there were minimum specs to run it then the OS should just refuse to install if the hardware does not meet them. Vista got a bad reputation, because it was bad.
There was a huge push by vendors for consoles, but with the huge failure rates of consoles and string of vendor lock-in feature take-aways a lot of people are returning to the PC. Also, many just like that the gaming experience on a PC is better.
It was not useless, he re-installed (and I bet if he had searched it was on the web somewhere how to remove the DRM). What if that had happened on a console? It would have become a brick.
difference is that if microsoft ever stops supporting directx, a new one (that is probably better) will just take its place. There is no vendor lock-in.
They went to the trouble to dog electric trolleys in the article, but why not just make the trolleys 40% lighter and add regenerative breaking? At least do an apples to apples comparison between the two. I am wondering since you need to store the energy if line loss or high voltage would be a problem with the ultracapacitor.
With the huge failure rate (I read one time it was close to %54 red ring of death for the xbox), and the constant vendor lock-in feature removal I am glad I have stayed with the PC. I know quite a few others that have given up on consoles and gone back to the PC (although some of them were because the gaming on a PC was better)
fitting punishment for all mcbrides misdeeds is for him to live in paranoia. Hope he suffers relentlessly. Even funnier is that I expect nobody likes him, but no one is actually out to hurt him physically.
that is hilarious. Sad part is that if the roles were reversed microsoft would say tough luck, learn to live with what ever we tell you is suppose to be on you machine.
And then let several big companies have exclusive monopolies. And US taxpayers are paying to network upgrades. How exactly is that going to slow investment?

Being lucky one time at the top of the tech bubble may make you rich, but if you do nothing else like Cuban has you are nothing but a lucky blowhard.

I have not watched a hollywood movie in quite a while and don't miss them for this exact reason.
the idea of sudo is probably completely new to them even after decades to think about it.
another good thing about gaming PCs is that there is no red ring of death. I read that the failure rate of the xbox 360 was close to 54%.
vendor lock-in for this is the main reason I will never own a console. That and games are a lot more fun on a PC.
Mysql did very well on it's own, Sun on the other hand is a train wreck. Simple answer is to spin off Mysql.

Now they can throw "we are not blowing up anymore" parties.

and this kind of attitude is exactly why Vista was such a hit!

we can only hope. I don't dislike Oracle databases, but them also owning Mysql would be the kiss of death for Mysql no matter what they say otherwise.

Only problem with your analysis is that Pim Fortuyn was someone actually important.
