Yeah, if you are gonna be stuck going nowhere, I guess the 520 is as scenic as it gets. Especially when the waves are crashing over from Lake Washington when the wind kicks up. I will NEVER believe they are going to build a new 520 bridge until I see it. They should bring the ferrys back to Kirkland.
I dont care what anyone else says, the best perk at Microsoft is a WINDOW. The campus is quite beautiful, and if you get a window in a prime location, it will certainly effect your productivity. The food is very good, and very cheap.
I moved from California to work for Microsoft, and I did have a little trouble transitioning to the different driving style for the area.
There is NOTHING in California like the lead up to 520 bridge west on a Friday afternoon. You might as well bring a newspaper, cause you just aint moving. Having braved 101 in Mountain View, the Sunol Grade, 880 near Fremont, you have not seen traffic until you become a commuter between Redmond and Seattle. It is the worlds worst traffic by far.
If not for the courtesy of the drivers, every commute would become a bloodbath on the 2-lane under UDUB.
Anyone who wants to learn CSS should just get all of the Eric Meyer titles. If you cant learn CSS from his books, then you are just too stupid to learn CSS.
It doesnt matter if I am doing PHP, ASP.NET, or just some table-less page, they all start in Dreamweaver. Most of my pages end up as Master Pages within Visual Studio, since most of our work is done in ASP.NET, but we would be crazy to try switch to another designer at this point, unless it is miles better then Dreamweaver to the point where we would be more productive with it right from the start.
With any designer, once you are comfortable and productive, it doesnt make any sense to learn something else unless your tool doesnt support a popular standard. When Dreamweaver fixed their CSS support back in MX, this game was over. The Dreamweaver-Fireworks combination is not about to be matched by anything from Microsoft, and even if they do match it in every category, they still have to show me how it is worth it for us to switch.
You can look at anyone's.aspx pages and tell whether they did everything in Visual Studio, or if their pages got some help from a real designer like Dreamweaver. Microsoft should have bought Macromedia when they had the chance, and incorporated their designer into VS. If Dreamweaver ever gets codebehind and.NET 2.0 support, I might give up Visual Studio altogether.
Have a client, a chain of national francised outlets that wanted to use this technology for a branch locator. We were all set to build this with the.NET APIs that Google provides, but when the client caught wind of the licence charge for commercial entities, the project was canned. I fear that this very cool solution is going to remain limited by what Google is asking for licencing.
Sure, they have the right to charge whatever they want, but damm, who is going to adopt it at that rate just to add some cool mapping features? Everyone can use the technologies, but few will spend those dollars on mapping alone. I fear Google maps is doomed to the "Cool-Hacks" purgatory.
Take Vietnam for instance. If you think the U.S. could not have won that war, minus the political situation at the time, you are smoking something illegal. The U.S. was always content to bomb the enemy back to the negotiating table, instead of going for all out victory. I figure you must be in your teens to make such a stupid supposition.
And if you really think our empire is crumbling over here, just find me an economy anywhere in the world you think we should trade for? America is the envy of the world, which is our only true problem. No country can beat us, no country can match us, not for our Industrial might, our creative energy, or our ability to simply kick your ass whenever we want. Only weak politicians and left wing nuts keep America exercising its true power. You should be thankful they exist. And ask any of those countries where we have inflicted pain just when they want to stop accepting our money and support?
Try to remember that for years Iran was at war against Iraq, and could not beat them. If fact, they were getting their asses kicked by the same Iraqi Republican guard that the U.S. wiped out in a matter of days. If the U.S. ever got serious, and stopped fighting with their hands tied behind their backs, they could wipe out Iran's leadership and infrastrucure in no time at all. It is the manner in which they are fighting in Iraq that is making things take so long.
No U.S. company has sold technology to Iran since the fall of the Shah. I know you hippies love to indict Halliburton for everything, but get your facts together.
One of the greatest misconceptions popular in the world today, is that the U.S. is 'stretched thin' when it comes to their war fighting abilities. The U.S. is actually happy to perpetuate that notion. The world has no idea of the kind of firepower the U.S. can bring to bear should it ever need to. Dont forget that the U.S. sliced through Iraq's vaunted Republican Guard during the first Gulf war in what, 4 days? The weapons that the U.S. has today are mindblowing. No nation has ever taken down an F-15 Eagle in combat, yet just one of the new F-22 Raptor's regularly smokes 4 F-15s at a time without even being seen. Then you have to figure in the stuff that the U.S. doesnt even want the world to know they have. They were able to build the B-2 Bomber and keep its production a secret through its whole development process. My guess is that the U.S. has stuff to take care of Iran when the time comes.
The U.S. and Israel will not allow Iran to go nuclear, and they can prevent it without a single soldier having to be part of an invasion force. They can knock out Iran's air defense network in a matter of days if not hours, then roam freely through their skies dropping buster-bunkers on anything suspected of being a nuclear facility.
The U.S can park a few Seawolf submarines near Iran and rain cruise missiles on them for days without being detected. The only stage that is being set, is for the future ass-whipping the U.S. and Israel are about to give Iran. The sad thing is that clearly, Iran wants this, in order to bring other Arab nations into the fold of Western-Hating dictatorships. They believe that they can cut the flow of oil to the west with the cooperation of Hugo Chavez.
All that really needs to be done here, is for western nations to cut off head off the snake, so to speak; Just kill Iran's president, wipe out the Mullahs, and the 81% of Iranians held captive by that regime will form a true democracy.
I would be interested in what Slashdotters think if ISA Server 2004? We have a number of clients who rely on it, and it would be instructive to discover any percieved flaws, or things that we should be looking out for? Thanks in advance.
I think somewhere in the mix, it became assumed that I think the 4th amendment protects privacy. I dont think that at all. I was arguing the opposite with the original whining hippie on the subject.

Forgive me for assuming that those who can write on this forum, can also read. Go read the 4th amendment yourself. I dont need to prove anything.
How on earth did you get modded up to 5? Oh yeah, this is Slashdot, where facts dont matter if you can bash Microsoft. You should quit, because apparently you dont know anything about SBS anyway, like the fact that you can install another Domain Controller, something any decent Admin should do immediately, and you can run most services on other hardware as well. Never cracked the manual, huh? Figures.
Slashdot Mirror
When I saw the title, I thought this article was going to tell is when Adama and crew find Earth! Sucks to be hooked on a TV show. FRACK!
Installed Vista, worked fine.
Wife bought a Mac,
Now Vista sucks,
But Slashdot will love me.

I want to read the rest of the thread, but now I am transfixed on the idea of floating on a cloud of soft, soft boobies.
There went my productivity for the day......
I was wondering if someone would actually post that.
Even though you are correct, you must have Karma to burn dude. Did you forget where you were posting?
Atlas and ASP.NET are going to turn some heads very shortly.

Thanks for the info, maybe the Google docs that come with the APIs could have been better worded? Or maybe I'm just clueless? Dont answer that.
Throw me a bone, dammit! I AM trying....someone HELP me!
Well, why didnt you just CGI my spelling error?
How about some CGI boobs for Tasha Yar to go with that smokin ass?
Can they CGI Troy looking like she can actually walk in heels without tripping?
CGI Force Fields that if touched more than once, start burning off fingers.
Can we get a CGI of Wesley Crusher's head flying off, thanks to Worf's Batlef after fucking up the Enterprise computer once again?
CGI Borg sex! "Can you assimilate THIS, baby?"
CGI Data killing everyone in a cyber-dream: "Why the fuck do I keep saving these people, when they never let me drive the ship?"
CGI some sweaters for the crew that dont require constant readjustment.
Please, PLEASE CGI Picard kneeing Dr. Crusher in the groin for disobeying orders. I would PAY to see that.
Dude, they are easy. Much easier than I expected them to be.
If Google didnt charge so much for the commercial licence, there would be an explosion of these apps.

Uh, no. Nice try,..... for a hippie.
Put away the love beads, hippie. You and others who believe that kind of nonsense need to get real.
If your Privacy rights were "inherent" as you say, the US would not have had to pass the National Privacy Act in 1988.
