Exactly. Does anyone really think that Apple will not continue development of a PPC version of OSX? Of course they will - they need a backup plan just in case Intel does not work out. It's the same situation in reverse.
What makes him more qualified? They are HIS shares/options/dividends in HIS company. Every other shareholder has their say in proportion to their holdings. Don't like it? Build your own company.
If you can find what your are looking for. Apple are not stupid, they recognise what Amazon and others have already discovered; there is more business in the long tail. (For those that can't be bothered reading the article - there are limts to traditional stores which has lead to "top 100" lists, there is much more business outside of the top 100).
That's one of the good things about the game. If you don't want to gather wood and find sheep, just pick the idiot up and throw them against a rock, or fireball their house. It comes down to what sort of God you want to be.
I share your pain. Training the creature in the first version was a hit and miss affair. B&W2 makes the process a LOT easier - the creature has thought bubbles so you can see exactly what you are encouraging/discouraging. You can even select the particular action you want and teach him what you need, rather than watch and wait for him to stumble across the situation.
Yes - God forbid that you actually help the customer. They will hate you for that. Dodge and weave whereever possible. Delegate where you can and take no responsibility. This sort of internal empire building does nothing for the customer and ultimately nothing for the company. I will be modded as a troll.
I think it is more than a casual reference. The beauty and danger of Wikipedia is that anyone can update the content. I would contend that this model is better than any encyclopaedia where relatively few people contribute or review content.
There are many specialists on any particular subject and in the Wikipedia model these individuals can update the site to contain relevant and accurate information. Everyone get to peer review the information. It's the long tail for information.
Making it open and accessible actually improves the overall breadth and quality. It is counter intuitive and many people have been unable to grasp this concept with open source projects.
I agree. This is the start of the revolution. Studios will now be able to go direct to consumer and recieve payment for their products. Better products will be rewarded with larger incomes and we all benefit.
I like this model better than the current situation in which networks purchase what they think will be popular (based on ratings and surveys) and then pay for it by charging companies to advertise their products during these shows.
The new model is simplier and more direct. I have always said I would be glad to pay for the Discovery Channel, but I don't want most of the other crap. This takes that idea to the extreme. Now I can watch the shows I want, when I want. No media network can dictate the menu or my viewing habits.
Apple's method of installing programs is very easy - just copy the app and run. No registry entries to worry about, no system libraries to update, etc.
Just because Windows has a greater market share does not mean the linux community should emulate them. Concentrate on the customer and the rest will follow.
Right now I must agree with you. Novell has been making improvements witht he development of iManager - a web based tool that covers almost every aspect of network/server/workstation administration, but critical components are still missing (groupwise, zenworks, file system privileges, etc).
Here at work we are evaluating application and patch management solutions. The guy initially in charge of the project was just going to renew our Altiris licenses and move on. I put a stop to that and asked what we wanted the system to achieve then ask various vendors to demonstrate their products. I was confident that Zenworks would shine, but the current product line up is not good. The suite is fragmented, there are too many agents and administration tools. The whole thing seemed thrown together (which it is).
The suite is very powerful, but usability is hopeless. We are now about to install HP Radia (Novadigm) - all driven by one easy to use website.
But I still believe that the current situation is unsustainable, and that we should be working harder to improve the quality of the code out there.'"
Things are getting better, we are just happen to be using the software as it is being perfected, rather than wait for "everything to be perfect" before going to market (an impossible situation).
...the bill is faulty in that a game is decided whether or not it is 'violent' by juries, and different juries could have different opinions on what is defined as 'violent'.
This is the way the legal system works. We have exactly the same approach with, say, occupational health and safety. The Tasmanian Act (Australia) (and probably most others in the world) always refer to the term "reasonable". By leaving what is reasonable up to the courts means the legislation does not need to be modified as technology and social values change with time.
I don't know about you, but I would visit http://www.suse.com/ when looking for SuSE Linux information. Besides, Novell's home page has lots of linux links.
It amazes me how we just accept the existance of antivirus/firewall programs. It's like opening a bank account and they say "Oh by the way, our systems are insecure and money goes missing from time to time. You may want to buy a vault." I hope for a world where these companies are ancient history.
Mr Horton disagrees: "It might be fine for things like security patches, which don't impact SAP certification rules but with some patches you still actually have to check the release levels and then check against the SAP site. Otherwise SAP might ask you to roll back to the previous version before they will support it."
Crest Electronics is trialling Microsoft's Windows Server Update Service
WTF?
How can he say automatic updating is not supported by SAP, then turn around and use WSUS on Windows?
Perhaps he should look at his patch management process and not just blame Linux.

There are standards to achieve this - SAML, Liberty, Passport, Oasis, etc. The problem is the great unwashed masses are not ready for it yet - they do not see the value.
Microsoft's solution (Passport) requires the user to submit all their information and trust M$ to do the right thing. Suprisingly, many people don't like this idea.
Another way is to federate your identity between systems, so no single system knows all your details but they know enough to identify you. You get to specify the information that is shared between any two systems. There is a chicken and egg problem here - most companies have yet to roll out such solutions as customers don't seem to want it (or don't know it exists) and customers won't start using it until most of the sites they visit support it.
None of these solutions address the issue of graded authentication in a satisfactory manner. Right now it is easier to either remember/record a few usernames and passwords, or use the one set across all systems. Neither is good from an identity or security point of view.
Voting for LDAP? That's like voting for HTTP - it's an access protocol, not an implimentation specification. You don't compare IIS and Apache because they both use HTTP.

I think you may be right - vidcasts are on the way.
The same way any porn site verifies your age - it asks you for your birthday and trusts the answer. Kid don't lie. Right?

SuSE also ships with Gnome and a few others - you are not stuck with KDE.
