How many copies are they planning to sell (OEM or consumer)? and thus how much cheaper can Vista become by not putting that much money in marketing? And from that money, MS can buy you the hardware (or not, of course).
1) Nylon is not a good conductor, so it will keep the charge, and only the surface you touch will interact, but not on a fatal manner. 2) by keeping on moving. It's fairly easy to build up elec. charge this way. Like rubbing a cat. 10 or 20k is easy to achieve for a human with the right clothes. And he was wearing them... 3) That is what I would like to know as well. You will not feel discharging of yourself when voltage lower than 3000 Volts, however. But with 40k, I probably don't want to be the doorknop:)
here you learn more about ESD (those yellow stickers in the router room) Intel is very aware of this, as is any other semiconductor manufacturer. Don't we all want to look like this in the office:-)
"survival of the dumbest" is apparently not what has been happening.
Nowadays we are not helping the other process either. Famous quote: Let stupidity solve itself and remove all the warning signs. But we still have warning signs, plenty of them.
I think the biggest reason (also in the article) is that the Open Source strategy played out very well for Unilever, in terms of getting cheaper software from providers like SUN, HP, etc. Maybe even Microsoft. 800 million IT budget is a large fish.
In general the highest density of people are found in areas prone to flooding, everyware in the world. Reason is probably economics: flat land, high density of people, easy access to trade routes all contribute to welfare and thus are attracting even more people to the area
yep, if everybody, be it user or crawler, can point their browser to copyrighted material, than copyright loses it's purpose.
So the first action for the provider is to regulate access to the material (logins, subscription, etc.) for both users and browsers and put up a robot.txt for crawlers. Although, as pointed out in an earlier discussion, the latter is a voluntary setup, with no garantees for the provider, it probably gives the provider a better case in court, because he has done his part to 'protect' his copyright.
oh man, stop it. Think of all the companies that have to buy their brand AGAIN!
coke.com coke.us coke.ch coke.xxx coke.cum You know they have to. Can't have a porn site take it. Maybe, because of the filtering, they can put up some spicey content, like that woman at the superbowl. I keep forgetting her name. You know, with the handsome fella... Damn. stop drinking
Do it like this: -invite MS and RH (or other) for the contest, but ask what software versions to buy off the shelf and what to install. Install it yourself and have them tweak it with the configuration, without having extra's installed. -Let them agree between each other on as many things as possible: hardware, time to tweak, do's and don'ts, type of tests -Compile several benchmark tests: load, response time, static, dynamic. Ofcourse all on the same type of hardware platform. -Run the tests with them witnessing and report here!
One note: Make sure to get the experts on both sides. At MS not a problem, but the linux arena is much bigger.
Stella is to be used for other, let say, sensor networks (if you consider a telescope a sensor): seismic and infra sound activities are to be measured as well as detailed agricultural data in crop fields.
Just wait for a cloudy day and the performance will be crap, oh.
Serious, on a cloudy day the amount of candela falling on the recieving part will be very low compared to a sunny day and you will have to switch on the lights again. or have big windows, as only square meters will solve that problem.
And they have probably another thousand or so around. But besides their ideological views on this world (whether good or bad), a smaller patent portofolio is cheaper to maintain, although you have to invest more money in development before you can obtain one patent. But that is what patents are (or should be) all about: protecting investments in new development, thus encouraging research, which in the end leads, exactly, to a better world:-)
Having patents can bring a lot of money. Philips biggest winners were the shuffle button and 'read data through a window/layer' when they introduced CD technology two decades ago.
But the recent years shown the drawbacks of patents. For Microsoft alone 524 million at eolas and a 100 million in costs a year for going to court because of infringements by themselves as well as others infringing on their patents. Even for Microsoft, that is a lot of money.
No wonder they want to reform from quantity to quality.

Steve Balmer is going to have a good day today.
Thank God for the furniture..

Can I add something to the agenda for next time?

that Google has changed their 10 Things statement recently,
;-)
As a 'no evil high tech company', they should provide a changelog, shouldn't they?
I'd say mod him up funny! it's obviously hilarious :)
conclusion (apparently) is that hilf did not have a talk with Ballmer! ;)
"no MS equivalent banner or other flashing indication that it is an MS site."
Did you see the weather forcast of Redmond, WA?
Well, the zoo is not a save haven either. The last passenger pigeon died in a zoo, and there were millions of those.

normally, it is on the right in a slashbox.
Everyone else in the original LOFAR weren't (and still aren't) too happy.
Can understand that. If you look at the distribution of the antenna's, some are drowned in the North Sea.
and then the question is how often or when?
how often do you use Bomb littleBoy = new AtomBomb();?
And more importantly, in what case would you like to do that?
(did ask the java noob/script kiddie)
If I read the /. piece correctly, does this mean that it will only come back online with a hard reboot?
oh man, stop it. Think of all the companies that have to buy their brand AGAIN!
