Good for them. Microsoft *Windows* is not needed in any case and hasn't been for quite some time. Keep with Windows and stay in the stonage of computing or use one of the alternatives, either free or non free. I will begin firing any employee that insists on using windows in the forthcomming weeks thus the "no one has been fired by using Microsoft products" will not apply anymore. The bridge has been burnt, good bye Microsoft don't come walking here no more.
And the best part of this strategy will be when they dump the low-end model and sell the "current" top end for the lowered low-end price. Why have multi tiered consoles in the first place.
so it will be "harder" for the kiddies to put it on mp3 and share for free. How this was news is beyond me... or am I such a cynic that I don't see the coolness and nesworthyness? Taco did you get paid to say that it is the new fad and o-how-wonderfull it is with Vinyl. Early CDs were much worse than vinyl I whole heartedly agree BUT the quality of CDs produced in the last ten years are lightyears ahead of any Vinyl kan ever be. But then again listening to punk records and the like you don't need the full spectrum.
I want the friggin burner and disc so that I can begin doing backups that do not span 50 odd discs. It would be nice thats all what I am interested in.
Just in case you weren't sarcastic... how about "On Friday, February 26, 1993, a massive explosion occurred in the public parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City."
That your post is regarded Insightful is total BS.
I have never seen such a blatant premature optimization. Why have the IP stack in hardware and "pre-cache" packets for the host OS? Much cheaper to make good network drivers in the first place (and if you have latency problems you have them because of CPU depletion and no pre-caching will for ever hide that.) These MBA students should get an A+ if this crap gets anywhere above ground level.
the problem with beta was that the length of the tapes were too small to fit an entire movie. Quality wise beta was/is supperior to VHS in every other aspect. Studios were using BetaCam until fairly resently. Sony has a lot invested in the HD Cam market so the entire tool chain is more "optimized" towards Blue Ray.
So what happened in Orlando with the 10 MBit/s "Full Service Network" done by Warner using SGI gear was totaly un-American back in 1995-1997? Seriously... North American technology usage is an afterthought at best... letting Microsoft become what it is, is the ultimate proof about that. North Americans in general don't give a * about technology and even if the 2% who do, their uproar is quenched by the other 98% (yeah I pulled thous numbers from my behind BUT it shouldn't be far from the true numbers.)
Sadly North America is in the stoneages where technology is concerened... or rather North America is not technology driven as much as Europe... and nowhere close to Japan and some neighbours.
Viva La' France!
Well... it starts with us doesn't it? I for one do not allow my family nor close cousins to run any Windows if they want my support. They have been using Linux since RH7.3 (Instead of Win98SE) and are currently on FC5 on the same machines.
When they were hooked up on Windows it was a pure nightmare to try to keep it up and running not to mention needing to be onsite to do any kind fixing work because the network would almost always bomb.
Now I rarely have to do anything and they can do all their stuff without problems. No they are not power users... just plain browsing/mail/office/gimp/cdrw/music and thats it.
Yes... old PIII 600 MHz klunkers.
So again... it starts with the not so Average Joe making a difference and if you can not do it sombody else will because there is no chance in hell that I would let anyone that I love run with Windows.
being in the busines... DX# is a major impediment. Wine is in the short turn better because that will make sure that all older games will work thus not leaving anybody behind as soon as Microsoft decides to stop supporting something.
Don't be hard on wine because they are doing very good and important stuff for us all. I am not a wine developer.
This is good for Microsoft... the higer the fine the more inclined they will be to abuse their powers even further. They will think that they have the "right" to when they have "bought" the courts this way... the only legal way to buy a court (its not ethical but who cares.)
If EU were really serious about dealing with Microsoft they would give them the following ultimatum: "Pay or we ban the use of your products and any breach of any settlements will default in a ban"
Money really means nothing to big corporations like Microsoft that are so far above their "critical mass" of making money.
Their Win9x products should be outlawed.
And as far as I know JBoss is Java and Python.. how should I put it nicely... is dog slow.
My experience with both pure LAMP deployments and IIS/MSSQL/ASP deployments (not.Net) is that LAMP so far has always come ahead with atleast a magnitude (even after tweaking the bejezus out of both systems.) But thats me so I look at this performance article as not quite true.
Ever heard about livna and freshrpm?
/etc/yum.repos.d/
livna.repo
freshrpms.repo
and then yum install xmms* mplayer*
true it could be simpler... but as you see its not impossible.
Kernel only... including non direct source:
find/usr/src/linux/ -type f|awk {'print "wc -l "$1'} > res.bash;bash res.bash |awk -v X=0 {'X=X+$1;print X'}|tail -1

Ok ok the above "script" is lame but I just woke up.
Hmmm don't get me wrong I don't want to say anything good about VSS... atomic locking is very good to have when one has a large team... subversion instead of CVS. However I swear by CVS!

Ah yes Commander Jameson! Yup I fully agree. Elite has it all and had it before anyone else.
OOlite is the "free as in beer" version. Check it out!

Strategist != Implementor
But if you have good implementors a good strategist can actually point them in a very good direction and the end product will become VERY good.
A bad strategist will have much less impact on good implementors. The mozilla team are probably in the good category.
A bad strategist will have very high impact on bad implementors. The microsoft team are more probably in the bad implementors.
Now XP SP2 is not bad so that leads me to conclude that the strategists were not bad at Microsoft.
So this can only mean that it is good for Mozilla.
and yup she certainly is a hottie.

Aliens 3 (2003 Special 'Assembly Cut' Edition) (not the butchered American release one) is way way better although not anywhere close to 1 and 2.

They do a faceoff with Criterion Collection versions for movies that actually matter.
Magnitude? since when is 20% a magnitude? Magnitude 1 = 10x ... Magnitude 2 = 100x and so on.
Thanks I learned something new today because I ended up here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic Very informative
