I'm going to say that this is a problem with Florida, because the same thing happened to me when I moved to California, except that California isn't linked with Florida, and had no problem issuing me a license.
Not quite the solution you're looking for, but instead of not linking the databases, I say, Florida should stop allowing private companies to suspend your license.
This is more of a way for parents to delegate their responsibility by spending a little cash.
Sort-of how we delegate our lawn mowing to day laborers instead of doing it ourselves, soon we'll be able to delegate our parenting to the state.
We use a Polycom video conference system here at work and while it can be flakey at times, if it's set up and not "fooled with" (people turning it off while its busy, ISDN lines getting unplugged, etc.) it works great. Easily operated with a remote and a nice graphical menu on the TV, without a PC necessary, or you can use the PC integration features as the parent mentioned.
Sun buys StarOffice, and spins up a free version of it for the "community." They decide to use some of their own technology (Java) in this program. So what?
Sun controls OpenOffice/StarOffice, and Sun controls Java. Both have been opened more than your typical commercial holding. What's the problem?
damn that's really going to p*ss Microsoft off - I'd like to see them match this idea.
Microsoft has several open source projects on SourceForge, and in the past has hosted sites like GotDotNet that allowed users to share libraries with one another. Microsoft developers would also post libraries they had written and allow other developers to see and use the code.
I use Windows at work, but I feel like my brain spends most of its time processing how to move around in the user interface, which things to press, what to click where and which button to use.
When I'm using Mac OS X, my brain works in a more task oriented way. Instead of opening this program and right-clicking on that thing, I'm editing a video, or I'm working on a graphic. It's somehow less intrusive and allows me to focus on whatever I'm trying to do instead of focusing on how to do it.
I'll toss my hat in the ring. I decided early on, before I knew much about World of Warcraft, that it would be the MMORPG that I played, if I played any, because Blizzard was doing a hybrid Mac/PC version with release for both on the same day.
As a Mac user, I am a member of a vocal minority, and I felt like it's my duty to reward companies who take this kind of a proactive stance for my platform of choice.:-)
Serious admins are probably using Microsoft Outlook tied to some form of Exchange Server. I know it hurts to think it, but Microsoft has the market share in that area, and if you look up the meaning of "market share" it becomes obvious what the majority of admins are using.:-)

Yeah, I know what you mean -- it ruined the prospect of commercial aviation, too!
There's a difference between a dupe and a story staying in the news.
I guess CNN should've stopped with the 9/11 coverage after the initial report.

DirectX is an API. Nobody forces the developers to use it.
I think he was like, the last person who didn't work for Google. I'm pretty sure I work for Google now too. Anybody here not work for Google?
Thank god we can display advertising on the cardboard.
I'd start by submitting a question to Ask Slashdot.
Are you fucking serious? They've been asking you. Just do it for Christ's sake.
My brain exploded trying to parse this sentence.
;-)
And we wonder why we aren't taken seriously by management.
But you sure as hell can be forced to do things legally.
Not by a corporation.
Give him credit at least. At the time, Itanium was poised to be a "big thing" and wasn't the laughing stock of the 64-bit world yet.
Seconded.

Oh, they promise. Well, that's good enough for me.
Don't worry everybody, nothing to see here. They promised!
They still didn't move the analog sticks.
My thumbs surrender.

Carma?
It's attitudes like this that make me fear for our slowly collapsing market economy.
Hopefully most of them!
Postfix gateway + Exchange 2003 server = corporate email bliss.
