OK the first 2 I agree, the 3rd is just personal bias, rather than actual fact.
The fourth just plain doesn't make sense, when arguing why sell OS-X rather than GNU/Linux. Nobody sells stuff because it's cool. They may make the customers think that it's cool, but from the sellers viewpoint it's just a product that they're selling.
You clearly missed one of the biggest advantages, that this move from Office to OOo had, It was being able to reuse older hardware as Terminal client with out h/w upgrade, barring addition of one terminal server.
Even if microsoft gives away free software, it will come at a price of having to upgrade the existing h/w, which could be preety steep for a school
On some unix terminals, backspace is mapped to ^? (Ctrl-?) , aka the Delete key, not the backspace key.
If you work on such a terminal and accidently type the backspace key, all you get is a series of ^H , instead of actual text being deleted.
The/. commnets with ^H in them are a elite way of showing two ways of putting things, The first word being not so politically correct followed by ^H and the PC version of the same.
Man I have too much time on my hand...btw to get the backspace key to do what it should do "stty erase "
Most ATMs on Cirrus or Star Network will charge 2$ to 2.50$ for ATM Txns , (excluding ATMs of your bank, e.g. if you have an a/c with BoA, BoA ATMs will not charge you).
But my credit union only charges.75$ on all ATMs on Cirrus or Star ATMs, and even that is vavied if I maintain a daily balance
Instead of just plain banning non-chinese firms to sell s/w in china, what if they ban all software which does not have support for the major chinese languages (mandarin, cantonese ) etc.
How many s/ws manifactured by US firms have true internationalization support ?
Besides the ban would be only for selling s/w to the Govt, not the 1.3+ Billion consumers.
first of jpython is just too slow.
with groovy you can compile the groovy script in to a.class and get the same performace (or the lack of ) as a regular java class.
Well almost, as groovy uses reflection for method invocation, it is slower than regular java method call, but this is being worked on.
The great thing about groovy is it supports junit from within, I have cut down my unit testing time drastically ever since I started using groovy.
Plus forget about writing complex build.xmls for your ANT . You can write much more elegant build scripts using groovy.
Groovy really looks like the step in right direction.
not just recognition, my company ( a typical hot shot financial company), with idiots working as security advisiors, won't allow me to install firefox as it is not a recognised software.
But I can install Netsacpe though. Almost every one exclusively uses IE and these guys waste half their budget fixing PCs , removing spyware/adware , trying to contain worms etc.
You won't belive the idiocy found in some of the coroporate sector. So I am content using atleast netscape instead of IE.
that or move to the DC metro area where there are plenty of jobs in IT related fields provided you are an american citizen (security clearance ). Seriously no one but americans can take these jobs.
Seriously I haven't felt the need to install any AV player after MP Classic and mega codec pack from kazza-lite.
Also use real player alternative and quicktime alternative much less resouce use and no phoning back to home.
USofA really needs to pick up pace as far as mobile tech. is concerned. But will the baby bells controlling so much of the telephony market, I don't see that happening.

Obviously no one has told you about "sarcasm" either.

Yes but then you will need a propritory binary , windows only decoder to watch them
Surprizinly only 93 matches for FIXME , but a hell lot more for goto..

Oh man, that capitalized "really", really helped in catching the sarcasm in the quote, I almost took it on its face value. thanks

I would put "Reservoir Dogs" right at the top. I mean it has 2 alternate angles for the "ear scene". That alone tops it.
I am already using this since last 2 years in bombay india.
