There's no technical support beyond bug identification included in that figure, that's just the price of the dev kit license.
Of course not, but the point is it is supported as in support is available. The best source of support for linux on PDA (besides maybe zaurus) is some russian guys website. 995$ is a drop in the hat and if you need support it is well worth it.
sorry, but MS likes to think that but Palm OS still outnumbers it 3 to 1.
Yes, but only in the pockets of consumers. Look at the figures in the warehouses. Find a pos scanner running palm os, Symbol and other big names use Win Ce exclusively. Oh and MS is not "behind Dos"
I can't imagine having the claim that $995 for development fees
You don't think that fully supported development kit for 995$ is cheap? It cost less than red hat ES 3. Development tool kits target production environments and 995$ is not a lot of money when it comes down to it. Especially since Windows CE is the thing on PDAs (Linux support is growing but slowly).
Spammers paid a lot to get their spam out and people like AOL and Earthlink cozied right up. Now it is unpopular so they pretend to be fighting spam. My guess is that then they will hold out for more profit from spammers, it is a cycle of blackmail.
4 years and I haven't gotten a single spam on my work account. No filters, and I use it dozens of times a day.
Honestly, you expect ANYONE to believe that you are on the net enough to get FP on/. and you were able to hold a job for four years. Your spam comment is more believable than your employment history.
I think the major reason "PDAs" are dying is because virtually every cellphone on sale these days has most of the functionality PDAs are generally used for
I think that will be the case in a couple of years but not now. The main reason my company is using PDAs is that they are so expandable. I have bar code readers, wireless networking etc... they are great for the warehouse. Sales reps are taking an interest as well. The cell phones lack sufficient expandibility.
Darwins Evolution isn't the entirty of the current theory. Only the baseline.
Good first point. However, if it is the 'baseline' or perhaps you meant 'basis' of the theory why would you be confused as to wether or not it should be read? Also, I do not understand why you say it is "used in the context of creationist arguments". That sounds backwards to me, please explain. Isolation to Micro populations is extremely useful in terms of seeing how effective different pressures were at influencing population change or evolution.
The terms are only relavant in the context of Cretionist arguements.
The term was coined by darwin it is used in the context of islands and other small populations (remember Darwin and Islands?). The distinction in island species, such as finches from one to the next, is said to be a micro evolution because of the individual adaptations that animals made to their unique islands.Islands are micro populations because of isolation, I NEVER said that evolution occurs in an individual. Your Bio 101 Prof did you a sad disservice by not requiring you to read Darwin.
I assure you that my arguments lend no credence nor give respect to "cretionists"
micro-evolution: no such thing. Evolution is evolution.
Huh? I would ask you to look up the difference between say C. lupus baileyi and C. lupus, once you find the difference look up the mechanism of that differences origin and you will find that C. lupus baileyi is a subspecies of wolf (C. lpus) specifically found around Mexico. Just because a term is not in your Bio 101 book and is rarely used on Animal planet does not cancel it out of the literature. Even a google search could have helped you.
BTW, nice that you start by claiming micro-evolution does not exist and close with a micro-evolutionary example.
Right, but it utilizes the very same mechanism which allows for evolution and is indeed termed a "micro-evolution". Yes what you state better supports the history but as a biologist I really am more interested in the mechanisms.
Evolution can never be proven by science. And that goes for the entire array of evolutionary theories.
Domestication is a form of evolution. By man learning and practicing husbandry of animals and selecting desirable traits he (he in the generic sense) exerted specific pressures on large based familial lines. Thus was eventually born our concept of breeds. The blue heeler was bred for herding ability, the greyhound for running, the poodle as a dare (?). nearly every trait that a modern dog has is genetically coded in his ancestor the wolf it is only the frequency of expression which sets them apart. That information is part of the reason that the smithsonian (who is responsible for taxonomy) reclassified the dog from C. familiaris to C. lupus familiaris.
Can't argue with that. I can't read the article, but I don't think that Tannenbaum argues with that either. He probably said something like Linus copied the basic Minix design (true) and the reporter blew it out of proportion.
Worse, he said "Linus wrote Linux as far as I know" Then when the moron said that One person couldn't possibly write a kernel, Andrew listed six other examples (including himself) showing that one person could do that. Remember reading (the post) is fundamental.
How is that for a grain of salt?
And there are no posts to reply to.
I agree with the author that this is a good strategy twist going after those who profit from it rather than those who write spyware.
All those problems are addressed by Windows Update. If the computer is shutting down have them open a "command prompt" window and type shutdown -a (abort). Whenever the shutdown starts just press enter in that window. Downloading the fixes from the OS is a much better way to solve those problems (all though the Vipers service guide is a nice touch) Also, download Win XP Service pack 2 rc1 This adds a lot of nice 'security' features. On my network I had very few (like four I think out of about 150-200) people get the sasser worm.
It may sound "unfair," that Microsoft is somehow getting out of paying for its actions, but all expenses paid by all businesses for all reasons are always passed on to customers.
Very true. Also weird is that they want for competitive reasons to keep prices low. This is a punishment. It is harder to lock customers in if your prices go up.
Exchange is not simply MTA. The target market is aware that things like contacts, calendar, notes etc are not a part of the MTA specification but that's ok. Exchange viruses, you are right there are few most are Outlook borne or IIS or just plain Windows. I am glad that it helps your very large corp avoid licensing issues that would bother your ARs as an AR I will continue on my merry way with licensed copies of my users preferred desktop and my preferred servers. Oh, and thanks for the tip on Samba. I had just started looking at that (years ago and implemented it) as I said most of my servers are 'nix way to read a single line and decide you know the post. What do those young guys say....RTFP
Actually I use a very nice Cisco VPN so I should not lead the complaint charge but it really is different than an exchange connector. You are correct though in your statement of it being safe and me exaggerating somewhat. However if a user gets a virus which can affect an IIS machine inside the network you still will have hosed IIS server. I really wish you could run (maybe you can now) Exchange using Apache on W2K
If that's the case, according to MS, you are no longer MCSE, so you shouldn't have to take heat for it on Slashdot.
Thanks for the attempted reprieve. I had hoped that would happen, however enough people who lack skills and depend only on alphabet soup complained. MS relented MCSEs from NT can still call themselves MCSE but we are supposed to say MCSE NT 4.0. Screw dat. I applied for the license plate 4MERMCP though:-)
Give him a break. He did admit to being an MCSE after all...
Thank you, I will also admit to being old. Like having got MCSE NT 4 when NT 4 was "Hot and New". I do prefer Linux and Unix though and have not upgraded MCSE because of that (most of my production servers are 'nix)
this is one big messed up protocol, I really do hope no wants to do that
You are right it is, but that is what this is about is people want there exchange servers. Allowing IIS to run so you can have the security of using Linux is like leaving your home unlocked because you have a good police force.
