... that there won't be a Next Big Thing (tm). There, I said it. This comment is stupid. Why is inovation so slow? Because we've been trained as consumers. We consume products, ideas, jobs, social changes. People are beign force fed ideas by a few entities (the government, some large companies, some influential individuals). This is not the age of informacion, this is the age of consumism. Get off your couch, log off the latest online game. Go write something, go paint a picture, go create something. One of those things is going be a Next Big Thing (tm). Leveling up in WoW is not going to be it. Playing DnD improves your imagination, playing a computer game most of the times kills your imagination.
Namely notifications. This allows me create a very "interactive" aplication.
To a lesser extent, table inheritance, although I could probably work something out with triggers and a materialized view (but it would be a bigger pain) . Also triggers in MySQL must be done with normal SQL I thinks, while on PostgreSQL I can use a procedural language to make a more complex trigger (There's probably some workarounds for this too, but still... ) There used to be others, but I think they have closed the gap.
Their database (MySQL, Access, Oracle, whatever) is working for them good enough to justify switching. Me? I'm using PostgreSQL, and I won't switch, even though Oracle now has a free version. Too much work to fix something that's not broken. And while I might never be able to use MySQL in my main project because it lacks some features I really need, it's good enough for lots of people.
... big ass discount. It's almost like telling MS, give us a better price, or will switch. And of course MS will go as low as possible to prevent a switch. And IBM saves.

Your life won't end, instead it will throw a MalformedDocumentException. Seriously, I actually laughed out loud when they mentioned that XML was going to glue it all together. That's having zero clue of the technology... but then, having a clue seems to be optional lately.
Pick a tool that you are comfortable with, code with it. It should be fast to code. Once you have your application working, it might become obvious that you need more control over your architecture. Then you are at square one, writing a costume MDA that works for you. At least that's how it happened to me. It might sound like re inventing the wheel, but I feel there's a time and a place to REALLY tweak your code to make something great. I've been migrating my application to my own architecture, and while it still needs some tweaking and optimizing, the product is quite nice. In fact right now it does a couple of things that some experts believed that were impossible.
... Tiger, already has all of the "breakthrough" features that Vista is supposed to have. Oh, and has already delivered. Let's wait to see what Apple has when Vista finally ships.
Set up some synthetic test cases that replicate the problems you are having, solve them, then see if it solves the real world problem. It can be a bit tough. For example, I had to hack a simple web server to run inside my test case. You might have to do something similar to get to where you want to go.
It actually says "Distributed Labels of Reporting Companies". What exactly does that mean? Could it be that Nettwerk is distribuited by a RIAA member (BMG / Sony) rather than beign a member themselves?
The one I bought was the enhanced version, the one that comes with a bonus disc with videos and some extra tracks. No DRM that I noticed. I ripped both with iTunes (mac) just fine. Well worth it's price.
...that the last CD I bought was a Nettwerk CD (Chimera by Delerium). It also seems it's one of the few labels that still pumps out interesting music. And yes, I downloaded three Delerium albums, two of which I bought eventually, and last one will probably buy very soon.
I was screaming at my boss that we need to replace our tape drive. The backups were not restorable. Then I was fired and given compensation, which was good, I was about to quit. Six months later, a RAID crashed. My ex boss had to tell 300 persons:
"All your work from five years is lost, sorry." Really sweat. People cheered when that guy was fired. They had a huge contingency plan, but they never validated a single backup. Never understimate the power of stupidity.

What have YOU done in six months (or less) that would compare to this?

Well ... my db interface library uses them. It was a pain in the ass to get it to work (the JDBC driver wasn't ready). But it was worth it.

Don't give them idea, I'm sure they'll manage that with enough (more) money
you forgot a step, that's why it's not running...

... what are you going to do with physical security? 1000 persons walking around with laptops is going to be sweet for any thief.
Grammar? Spelling? Leave that to the documentation guys.
By the way, English is not my native language, and I live in a non-English speaking country. So yes, I sometimes make mistakes

diversity would be buying "Dunking Donuts"... this is core business as usual.
... other fine books like the Amish Phone Book or List of Human Rights in Comunist China
Laugh, it's funny....
yes there is, actual news.
...because by the time it's released, those computers will be in a landfill!!
This is completly offtopic. He's not asking about AJAX, but rather GUI-less async apps.

you forgot to take into account that Opera has a negative market share.
