Facebook is only less ugly because it will not let you do those crazy things. This means it is not even a comparison. They made it easy to use by crippling it. Programming can't be crippled in the same way if you want to get anything done.
The same way roads and all other government projects are funded. Excluding the UAE, most of the middle east could easily fund such projects with a tax on exported oil. Not all UAE nations export enough oil, so they could then have their various sheiks pay for it. Desalination is a well understood technology.
Truthfully though, these nations have other problems perhaps even more pressing. By that I mean the political issues that have created the current situation to begin with.
Not only is your idea overly complicated (long live KISS) but it's a good way to install all kinds of nasty stuff like viruses, people would have to give administrative passwords every time they first launch an app Nope only on install. On drop the library installer can run. As to your virus suggestion, these libraries would come from a central signed repo.
and then there's the problem of multiple, possibly incompatible versions of libraries being installed by different apps. So you are some sort of time traveler from the 90s? This is a solved issue in many ways.
What's not to like is the security nightmare that the application bundle presents. It guarantees old outdated and insecure libraries and third party code is available for privilege escalation.
Zimbra (vmware product) has very well working activesync, easily as good as Exchange 2003. Scalix has very bad activesync support, and tthat product is dieing. Zafara has it as well, but have not tested it. All are a lot cheaper than exchange and using them as secondary MTAs is dead easy.
Honestly, as a cost concern running free Zimbra as the primary MTA and the paid for one as a secondary for users who need mobile and outlook is quite doable for many SMBs. You can do single sign on via AD and have them share GAL which is populated of course via AD.
The free one comes with 5 outlook/mobile users so for something for home/home business use that is really ideal. The setup is braindead easy. There is even a vmware prebuilt machine, the zimbra 7 one however has some issues which is why it is still a beta. The normal install Zimbra 7 install is quite good.
Vmware putting a lot of effort and cash into the application has made this possible.
I have run all of the above, saving for zafara, in a production environment. I would only recommend Zimbra or as much as it pains me Exchange. Once I get a chance to play with Zafara that might change.
For really depressing a typical cheap job (what these customers want) it starts with a OpenVas or similar scan, then you give them the print out and get to hear their sysadmins say that this is the same thing they already told their boss. Come back in 6 months, run the same scan and find the same vulnerabilities. Every time management acts shocked, sysadmins say "No Duh", rinse and repeat.
Security in typical companies is a last thought and overruled at every turn.
The Sony IT folks probably wanted too, but their idiot managers prevented them. Because if the update broke something or needed downtime they can't have that.
I think it looks good to the novice, but is a terrible idea for anyone beyond that level. Like pretty much all Mac products.
It really would not be that hard to have the OS install libraries needed for an application when it is dragged to the desktop. That would give the user the appearance of this bundled functionality without all the downsides. Appearance is all that matters to them anyway.
Activesync works on other mail servers as well. Evolution works with exchange, using OWA works fine, and if you enable IMAP you can use any client you like. I still do not understand why exchange admins hate IMAP so much. I can only figure NIH.
They could easily have free/nearly so fresh water for everyone, but those areas are generally run by less forward thinking leaders. Recently there has been some move to change that, but seems to have tapered off.
Signed packages are good, almost all the software I used is signed. The problem is who controls the keys and can you over rule them. Since I use linux machines this is not an issue for me.
Those folks are not "into" anything. They don't know how their car works, how a microwave works, why the sky is blue or much of anything else. They are not terminally stupid, they can read but chose not to.
Most folks don't overclock, I only do that to my phone. Sure most applications are single process/thread but you normally run many at once.
I agree that at many price points Intel is untouchable right now, but at the i5-2500k that price is just barely in Intels favor.
I am waiting to build a new machine right now, if bulldozer flops it will be another Intel for me. My last machine was a prebuilt Q8300 that I got a steal on.
I wish I could use AMD GPUs but their linux driver sucks from what I have heard. Also from what I have seen in the past.
The i5-2500K is $230 for $15 less you can get a Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. Depending on what you are doing, say encoding video the Phenom is the way to go. Your best by far price/performance is just fanboy talk.
Sorry life does not work that way. Do you want the folks in your office to think you are a cheapskate? No, then you buy the lung cancer sticker for $20. Do you want the cashier to give you a dirty look for not donating to the foodbank? No, then you give them a buck.
These are just a couple examples for better studied ones note that men on dates are more generous with requests for charity than they would be otherwise.
Altruism, by definition, must be 100% voluntary. No such thing exists. There is always some social pressure or societal gain for altruism. Nothing is 100% voluntary.
So let's be clear: government is NOT voluntary. Sure it is, you are free to move to Somalia whenever you like.
Whether you support the forced redistribution of wealth Please name a functioning society that does not have this on some level. Support makes it sound emotional, this is about practicality.

Try it and you will find why they abandoned it. Any decent size application become incomprehensible.
This 100times this.
No serious software can be written this way. Hell, shell scripts should not be written this way.

Not what I said. Most people these days are not into anything other than TV.
Not just Sony. This is pretty common in corporate America, from what I have seen via consulting gigs.

The name of the company stands for One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison. Does that explain it to you?
bzzt wrong!
You can go download the source to dalvik and use it on what ever platform you want. Blackberry is going to be doing just that.
So where is this source to the Microsoft JVM?
That is why OSX apps are broken. Now you have tons of old insecure libraries on your machine that never get updated.

You mean $230 for an i5-2500k. Which costs you 2 cores, so welcome to compiles taking longer. The X4 980 is less than $200.
Most folks don't overclock, I only do that to my phone. Sure most applications are single process/thread but you normally run many at once.

Most people are not running only one application at a time.
The Phenom is more power hungry but the GPU anyone would buy for a setup like this is going to dwarf the small difference in TDP of the CPUs.
Which x264 does not support it so useless. For good reason as well, the encoder you are talking about is all in hardware and not very good.
The i5-2500K is $230 for $15 less you can get a Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. Depending on what you are doing, say encoding video the Phenom is the way to go. Your best by far price/performance is just fanboy talk.
