Doesn't matter the pleassure and pain numbing effects are not 100% intertwined. A number of modern Anesthetics are allready treated in a fasion that reduces pleassure and thus makes them less addictive. They are however still usefull in medicine.
Tbh the only problem with this vaccine I see is that if it deadens the pleassure of Heroin addicts what pleassure remains.
Heroin reduces the sensetivity of any other pleasure and with that taken away wouldn't users remain 'unpleasurable'
Maybe the stimuli repressed by heroin will come back after a while but otherwise I fear that this will result in a lot more suicides.
(then again long term Heroin usage is essentially that)
I am a silverlight developer as well but I fail to see what the screw over here is. What Microsoft showed is that you can create 'apps' for the new immerse shell through HTML. The fact that they haven't shown that it can be done through native Silverlight apps doesn't mean that they won't support it. (in fact reflection of DLL's on the leaked builds shows clearly that you can, Microsoft just hasn't confirmed how exactly)
Besides Wp7 is powered by SL so the likely 'bombshell' they aren't sharing here is WP7 apps run directly on WP8 machines (what ever that's worth).
Essentially what Microsoft has stupidly done here is to show of some feature without showing all. Apple can get away with this they can't and by now they should have at least learned that. Dumb but not the major crisis some developers make of it
ATM Fees? How interesting, is this a common US thing and does it exist in other countries? In the Netherlands ATM usage both at your own bank and others is fee free. It's your money after all
Well phrased, en essence this exact behavior is what allows 'evil' in all it's forms to penetrate society. It also shows the danger of the asymmetry in relationship between person en corporation: the symmetry of resources. If Sony loses a suit like this that is annoying and might cost the company some money but it doesn't take away something from a person. You the consumer at best end up with having a pittance paid back to you and at worst having to pay proceeding costs. You have to be mad to engage in something like that. For large issues, especially in multi party governed systems, political parties exist to offset this. In this case though the group is to small and the matter to technical for them to be interested. Thus everything remains as is and the world got a little worse because of it
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
What you say is true Geoffrey but I believe there is something more fundamental.
It matters because she is an elected government official in the country that hosts Slashdot, the country that has a huge influence on IT en Technology in general and the world. In this country a democratically elected official was murdered!.
(or attempted murder at least) That is a direct assault on the fundamental principal of democracy and the matters.
Your information adds to this point explaining why it was especially relevant that this person was targeted and that the impact might be bigger for us nerd but it would have been relevant regardless who was targeted, just more painful now.
It is this very fact that the original poster seems to deny (no one important, move along here). In democracy all elected are important. Once we loose this we might as well just vote once
I agree with you that in some\many cases a fileshare or an instance of media wiki might indeed be as efficient as SharePoint.
But stating that SharePoint is Microsofts answer to MediaWiki is not a fair comparison either.
The basic 'free' version of SharePoint; WSS offers a collaboration environment aimed at dynamic, limited access groups like teams or projects.
It's widget approach and semi freedom it offers potentiall makes for a good collaboration environment regardless of the alternatives.
If correctly implemented on a corporate level it's metadata model can even make it a verry potent tool for actual information retrieval but this is a verry difficult thign to achieve (blame politics not the tool)
Ofcourse it has to be said that it's occasionally haphazzerd UI and reliance on IE limit its usefullness in mixed environements.
However more important here is the fact that SharePoint as MOSS is being positioned much more widely than this.
With MOSS SharePoitn becomes a CMS, a BI platform and much more.
Now I'm not saying it's best of breed cause it isn't but you have to admire the flexibility.
And if you want to fight MOSS in your enterprise you do wise to propose counters for the whole oss range or the product will simply outflank you
As for the development hoops.
Well I guesse that is mostly a matter of taste.
Yes the API is just plain weird at times and its dependancy on COM+ makes it an easy target for memory leaks.
But it's custom code deployment model is pretty good so in my experience itÂs slightly cheaper to maintain than comparible OSS or even proprietary counterparts
Totally agree.
Customer of mine owns a lot of Rigs in the sea.
Sometimes the rigs are connected to pipelines and they run fiber through the pipes.
However more often than not they use satellite connections. WAN optimizers, Riverbed or other totally rock.
You can go for either the appliance version, which means you need to stick a device before and after your satellite connection to get a good boost.
But the really good boots are in the software based versions. You have to install some client software and there is still a appliance on the other end but the performance totally rocks. Also it's a very competitive market so you can easily get a demo setup from any vendor to show just how awesome it works for your specific scenario.
Others have replied stating the benefits of mosquito's in relationship to plants etc. However my biology teacher used to say that mosquito's and the fact that they suck blood is actually pretty fantastic (from a food chain perspective). How many other creatures are there that directly convert parts from the top of the food chain into food for its middle region?
Interestingly enough there is actually an ISP in the Nehterlands that does this.
XS4all.nl let's you do nearly anything on your own personal connection, including the hosting of servers.
However, if you start to zobie out spam or virusses you are immidiately cut off.
(they do however provide you with a proxy you can use and and verry good help in finding and removing any virusses or worms causing these problems
So I guesse that if more ISPs where like xs4all.nl the entire net would be better off.

The tools for working in java are also a step ahead of anything else right now (idea and even its slightly retarded younger brother eclipse are both way ahead of the tools for any other language).
With all due respect this is simply not true IMO. Allthough I have never worked with Idea for a prolonged period of time it did in deed seem like a verry good IDE. But the latest (stable)version of Eclipse is not as good as Idea or even Visual Studio 2003. Now I don't know how asp performs on large sites because I have never worked with it on large sites. But as an IDE Visual studio i really find Visual studio to be better than Eclipse.
Idea on the other hand is IMO at least as good as visual studio. (and maybe even better but once again i don't have nearly as much experience with it as I have with eclipse and VS).
I know this is all MY oppinion and peaplo will certainly bash me fo using VS but I like it and claiming Eclipse is 'a steap ahead' is simply not true. (allthough Idea most likely is a steap ahead)
However if i'm not mistaken IBM still made $1.80 billion profit last year. Allthough I agree with you that entering different markets will not always help Microsoft and might even endanger them I still think it won't kill them. It might hurt, it might mean they will have to alter there business model just like IBM did but I doubt that Microsoft will die from something like this. However I do think you are right on the buzz part. Even my GF (an accountant) knows what linux is and I think this will ultimately hurt MS more than any product diversification ever will.

Well I'm from the Netherlands and smoking weed here is semi legal when you are above 18 jears old.
If they apply these statistics here this means that there will actuale be an increase in the number of people who use camcorders in cinama's
Or we might result to the same solution we use for weed, camcording is not legal but you won't be punished as long as the stuff you carry is ment for personal consumption
C'mon serious I mean I work with MySQL,SQL Server Oracle and DB2 (mainframe only). I like MySQL because it's free but it's lightyears behind even SQL Server.
SQL Server has issues true, clustering forinstance is pathetic and its SQL syntax is limited but it is not expensive and it has some damn good performance.
The problem with SQL Server is that in runs only on windows and that's a pathetic platform compared to our monsterous mainframe DB2 environment.
However at 2000 Euro per processor fo the enterprise edition it is (relativly) cheap as dirt.
and Insecure?? SQL Server has three servicepacks out now Oracle has more tahn that in hotfixes for it's latest version
I'm not saying SQL Server doesn't have it's share of problemens, I'm not saying that it is the best product out there but it has a good back2buck ratio.
m not counting the Sega Master System here because both versions were a simultaneous release Genesis Carts into my Dreamcast? Nope.
But you are missing one, for the genesis there was a special adapter that let you play master system games on the genesis.
Ass I recall all the games I triend with it worked.
However I bought it because my mastersystem died by a lightning strike. I didn't buy the genesis so I could keep playing mastersystem games. I bought it because I liked sega games better than Nintendo games, it didn't have anything to do with compaitbillity.
The real reason I think the XBOX2 will fail has nothing to do with compatibillity but with speed. Look at the PS2 and the XBOX, allthough the XBOX is nearly twice as fast allmost all games released for the XBOX are also released for the PS2.
Now let's say Microsoft releases a XBOX2 a year before the PS3, that means that all games will either use all the availlable options and be XBOX and PC only thus missing 50% of the market or will be released for the PS2, GC, PC and XBOX2 and will only look slightly better on an XBOX2 thus negating the reason to buy an XBOX2
