I think most "technology review boards" don't care if the suite acts like a single application as long as the tools are all branded together. I think they're more interested in having a set of apps that all look and work the same.
At the same time, many people prefer to have seperate tools that they can mix and match. Suites usually feel like bloatware even if they're not.
Hey! It costs a lot to brainwash billions of people. The human brain can only hold so much information. We have to buy a lot of advertising to get everyone to like the same 4 or 5 songs at one time. There is just too much of this "new music" out there. No matter how hard we try, we can't get rid of it. There is no such thing as customer loyalty anymore. The only way to get everyone to pay attention to OUR music and ONLY our music is to saturate the market with advertising. If people would just stop creating so much of this "new music", maybe we could stop advertising so much and lower prices!
Funny how there isn't an option for that on the census forms.
Actually, I just read the other day that 20% of the latest US census respondants identified their heritage as American. They say it's a growing trend. I've never participated in a cencus, but I too would probably identify myself as American. I thought I was mostly German, but I recently found out that I'm 75% English. It just so happens that my last name is German. Not that it matters. I think culture is pretty evil to begin with...I'm me.
Your faith is YOUR faith. Keep it to yourself and people won't get pissed. Your faith has no place in other people's lives. Stop trying to inject it into the conversation. Stop trying to inject it into the law. No one likes having someone else's beliefs pushed on them.
Faith is like sexuality. It makes great art. Let others discover it for themselves. And please keep it behind closed doors. For non-theists, this applies to the absence of faith as well. It's not for public display or debate. No matter how hard you try, you can't prove that you're right. It all comes down to faith.
Using the logic above, you could totally defend pedofiles. However, there is a huge difference between pedofiles and homosexuals. Homos (generally) want to #@%& consenting adults. Pedofiles want to victimize unsuspecting children that can't legally consent for themselves. Locking up pedofiles isn't about condemming their desires. It's about protecting children.
I do most of my research on the net or in bookstores. Info on the net may be less reliable, but most libraries are outdated by at least a year when it comes to reference material.
Who said anything about outlawing anything? I just said it's bad taste to joke about rape. Freedom of speech is a two-way street. The original poster has the right to joke about prison rape, and I have the right to call him an insensitive clod. No one is going to jail here. This is not about freedom of speech.
How can you blame lack of goodwill on a protocol or markup language? Lack of goodwill ended when people found out they could make money using the Internet. Greed, not technology, killed the goodwill.
I agree that Whittebit will most likely fail at overtaking Google, but this feature, or ones like it, could still take hold. What is stopping Google from implementing or buying this technology if it turns out to be useful. I think Google's search results would improve if they allowed for certain user feedback. Perhaps they could keep track of which link each user clicks after searching for 'sex' and incorporate that information into their alorithm. People/bots could try to promote their own sites, but Google could account for this as well. It would also be neat if they could incorporate some of the algorithms used for weeding out spam to filter bad search results.
I totally agree with you. How hard would it be for Microsoft to put out there own distribution of Linux? Most geeks wouldn't buy it, but both Linux and Windows have features that average people/businesses need. Being that Linux is free/open, Microsoft could make a killing leveraging the strengths of Linux with their own technologies/support/services running on top. From what I understand, they wouldn't even need to GPL Office, or their window manager. What is holding them back? If it's pride, they need to grow up and do what's best for the company.

but the few that I've contacted about open relays won't respond or do anything with that information.
Try contacting their upstream provider. If that doesn't work, try contacting the provider's upstream provider. I used to work at a teir two ISP. When we'd get a complaint of an open relay, we'd first test it ourselves, then hound the hell out of the responsible admin. You won't always get this result, but if you go high enough, they'll at least close the relay temporarily and open another in it's place. Either way it will add a black mark on the client's record, and it may even keep a dirty admin busy...
It's hard to get funding from investors if you can't show up on time or show consistant results. I've seen a lot of businesses where the 'really bright kid' has to hire a 'not so bright kid' to handle sales, organization and client relations. Schools can teach a lot more than pure academics. You can't blame them for trying to produce well rounded people.
Among other things, school is about learning AND working hard. If you don't need it, DROP OUT, or move somewhere else, or lobby your government to change things...just stop whining.
Please notice the lack of an 's' after 'work ethic' in my post. My point is simple; hard work and consistency are important in any endevour. Being intelligent means nothing in the real world if everyone thinks you're a flake. Why is it such a bad thing for schools to try to produce responsible, hard-working students? Intelligence is only a peice of the pie.

Serious question...what should we do about it? How do we create a system that doesn't create a bunch of rat race burn outs?
*cough*cough*cough Anyone that doesn't lie their asses off while in office *cough*cough*cough
get a clue...
Haven't you seen that show...Battle bots?
My point exactly. Try reading the post next time.
Children know what they like and what they don't
Just because they like it, doesn't mean it's good for them, or that it will make them happy in the long run.

Do you think the 9/11 attacks were government funded???
Which government? Ours or theirs?
Driver's test!? What about having children?
If I need a four year degree to surf the web, what will I need to procreate? A Nobel prize?

So it's wrong to draw the line at making fun of rape victims?
I agree that almost everything has become politically incorrect, but that doesn't lessen the vulgarity of rape jokes.

Any idea why IBM pushes SuSE over RedHat? Just curious...
