Let's see. Last time they replaced my machine. They did just that: replace the whole machine, OS and office. That's the standard way of doing things here. I suppose the amount of morons is much lower here or something, but this hasn't given any problems.
IMO if the users get a decent training, they'll be able to figure out the tiny differences between the OS's. It's not that there is such a big difference between what you did on win'95 and win XP. Stuff got a bit shinier, but I still double click on the little pictures to get an application to run. There is still the start-button. And there is still the clock on the bottom right of the screen.
Same for office, when I press 'a' I still get an 'a' on the screen. copy-paste got a bit more annoying and most of the advanced functions are placed at a different random menu, but anything I use daily remained the same.
Not working together? Well until some company start buying those databases and do some datamining on them.
Hmm, actually I think I could make a fortune with that! Now don't go stealing my million dollar worth but evil and despicable idea okay?
The problem is who is going to do the review? Finding an expert for every topic who's willing to spend his/her time on hundreds of pages isn't going to be easy. Not to mention that not everything is an unquestional fact. Differend experts can have very differend oppinions.
I think Wikipedia is doing just fine now.
Ok, have it your way. Let them all learn chinese then. Or have every textbook translated in every possible language. Not very practical is it?
There is a vast amount of text already written in english. Why not just teach english as a second language everywhere and have a single-language but high quality collection of textbooks? This isn't much different than the place Latin had. Beside it doesn't matter which language you pick, as long as everybody is learning it.
It's not that any of us personaly would go to that adress. But I suppose it would be funny to send over some male prostitudes, the big hairy muscular variety.
No the real reason why no one on/. gets a job offer from MS is because the HR-manager reads/., If they don't like your company, why bother sending them a job offer? The scary part is how he figures out your real name...
This technology is pretty simple: Soldier asks "Do you have a conceiled weapon?" Computer translates to "Please move head up and down". Iraqi does, soldier shoots, the terrorist-statistics go up again and Bush can claim the war against OMGTERRORISTS!!! is going smoothly but another investment of approx the BNP of Canada in the war is necessary.
That's funny. I believe the same about the space shuttle. Now when do I get to, hum , review it? I'm willing to travel, I mean, I understand it's a little difficult to ship a space shuttle, tank, boosters, a zillion litre of fuel, launch pad, launch teams, command center, and all the space necessary to place it on in 24h. So a private jet, with nude, willing women onboard, comming to pick me up will be an acceptable replacement for home delivery.
they do exactly as they are told by you or someone else, never more or less
That explains a lot. Yesterday I told my computer to "go to hell" and this morning it was gone. I only wish it would have used the front door instead of jumping through the window glass.

This tech will turn war into a highly spectacular, high budget RobotWars show.
50%? considering the sun has much more "away from the earth" than "toward the earth" I'd say our odds are a bit better.

No they use linux or unix. Windows doesn't have the "kill" command.
Yes, but we weren't talking about your sexlife. Now get back on topic.

char board[3][3]; // ' ', 'X' or 'O'
void PlaceXMove()
{
cout << "hey! look behind you!" << endl;
board[0][0] = 'X'; board[0][1] = 'X'; board[0][2] = 'X';
cout << "oh look! You lost!" << endl;
cout << "another game?" << endl;
}
Now beat this!
It should be called DukeNukemForeverium. You hear about it every once in a while but you never get to see any of those 2.
