Did you ever get marked off for lack of humour in those 3xxx level English Classes? If not, that would explain some things. When will our education system finally take comdic education serously? Just as poor grammer can destroy a Sceintific paper, a lack of humour will likewise destroy any piece of literature or a man.
No. I meant that to be written as if I were sending it over a modem, where a comma is a pause.,,,
You , see,,, a semicolon would just be ignored, and then the whole message would,,, wel,, be,,, out of,,, time.
I don't think I understand your point. Its expensive to switch from linux to windows or visa versa. So the report says that if you are already a microsoft customer, don't bother spending the extra money it takes to switch. Do you think they are saying that makes Windows a better operating system than Linux? Or are they extending the point too far to imply that starting from scratch, Windows should always be installed? I don't get it.
What is that saying about a group of people, that a competitor's product to Apple might cause you to "fret"? I guess its implying that Apple users don't like competition? But beyond that, why should competition cause anyone outside of Apple cause any stress for anyone that doesn't make a living selling Apple realted products? Its just wierd thats all. I understand that we can all get caught up in fandom every now and then, but geez louise give it a break.
I need to know a couple of things about you for my next... er... "Job". Where do you live? What kind of a Car do you drive? Do you have a home security sytem? Do you have any Guard dogs that I should be aware of? Does your car have an alarm? Does your car have Guard dogs and/or any trunk monkies? Whats the easiest way to break in your house? Do you or any of your other family memebers carry any conceled weapons? What night of the week is the house usually empty? Where do you keep your valuables? Do you have a Safe? What is the combination to your Safe? Do you have any Life Insurance? Could You make me the Sole benificiary of said Insurance Policy? Do You have fire Insurance? Have you ever considered the benifits of Insurance Fraud?
Get Back to me as soon as possible! That way I will be able to... Uh... "advise" you sooner.
Due to this much of OS/2 is in NT and much of NT is in OS/2, which is why OS/2 could run Windows 3.1 apps natively without and user intervention. OS/2 had a Win3.1 VM that worked so well Microsoft had to implement Win95/NT 4.0 style API's to break the compatibility.
No, none of NT was in OS2. Nor is any OS2 in NT. That was one of the reasons for creating NT. There is Win 3.1 in OS2 in the VM that you mentioned, but I hardly think that played much of a decision in creating a 32 bit WIN API. After the success of win 3.1, Microsoft realised that it could succed with out OS2 or IBM. So it made win 3.1 32 bit and created win 95 until NT was ready for mainstream use.
Maybe. Its nice that it causes them to think about safety, plus less gadgetry should mean that the prices shouldn't go up as much. Also sounds like we won't be getting a microsoft car soon. But in general we do sue too much. That needs to be fixed without preventing good lawsuits from going forward. And telling the difference between them is the hardest part. We need some sort of impartial juding software to run through lawsuits and heurotistically determine their level of importance, chance of succeding. Plus it would be cool if the software could play DVD's and check my email at the same time. And what if it ran on a wearable computer? that would be sweet. And what if it could hook into a Segway as well. Then I'd be motoring around watching dvd's, reading email, while runing software that makes fun of people that file ridiculous lawsuits.
As long as the device isn't made by Apple or microsoft. I'll sue the crap out of them if it is.
It's not the job of Firefox, or any browser for that matter, to emulate IE so that websites can continue to generate nonstandard content.
When you look at the history of web browsers, you'll see that it actually is the job of the browser to render all websites regardless of the "standards Compliance" of the content. Netscape introduced all sorts of exentions to HTML. The only way IE was able to overtake them was by making all of the pages written with Netscape extentions render in the browser. Thats just the way its always been in the market.
If you want the most market share, you must make your product more usefull than the competition. Blaiming your products failure on an external factor, does not help you get customers. Its much bettter to make sure your product doesn't fail in the first place.
When they do real work, all of my questions and concerns will be taken care of. Until then, its a bit frustrating. A tool is only useful when it is used for its intended purpose. Maybe they built the first super computer with the idea that it would never be used, but thats just a little sad to me. Its as if Michelangelo had created a smaller version of David, but destroyed before anyone could see it because it was just a model for the larger work.
They built the origninal and as you say they didn't perform any real work. So whats the point? Its like rich guys that buy ferraris and never drive them.
Are you trying to make me support a side I do not agree with? Yes, that is a report that demostrates that many bush supporters do not understand crap. I know, I agree. Could others come up with a simular poll showing the exact same things about Democratic supporters? Of course. In any case, my opinion is not based upon what everyone else believes. Nor should yours or anyone elses. The sooner we all learn to think for ourselves, the better off we will be. Just as my Sig says.
I had an english paper to write on a 286 running win 3.1 it was due the next day. Sent all 20 pages to the ancient dot matrix printer. Thought I'd come out fine as it was 3 am and school didn't start until 7:45 am. So I sat and waited as the hours went by. It finally finished with the last page at 3 pm. Why, I don't know. Never knew if it was a hardware problem ( the hardrive controller was on the fritz), the software ( el cheapo bargin bin $5 Easy Working Word Processor), the Printer Cable ( are the individual wires in a parallel cable supposed to be exposed without insulater?) or printer. Luckily I got an extention. But Believe me that whole computer system paid for its insolence at a later date. Everclear has to be the coolest thing ever.
Many. Thats my point. Idiots abound on both sides. The parent pointed out one example so I provided a counter example. We could continue all day, but my point wasn't that one group is worse than another, just that they both do it. Thats why I cannot call myself a republican or a democrat. Either way, I'm calling myself dumb. There _isn't_ a political party that I will vote for because I agree 100% with or even 50% with for that matter. There isn't even a fringe 3rd party cannidate that agrees with me.
Are there idiots, that don't research the issues? Yes. But how many are there that are voting for Kerry because "Bush is an idiot." They don't point to any factual case or issue, but they watched farienhieght 911 and it made Bush look like an idiot. Its like on slashdot where you have one troll post "M$ is teh suck" and a respose like " Linsux is full of Open Sores". The comments don't really add much to a debate of specific operating system features, but they get posted a million times. Just like politics in America and everywhere else.
Can Hardware be considered a killer application for Sofware? Anywhoo, Network computers have been tried before they've always failed. No reason to believe this will be any different. Besides, this has a 10 gb hard drive. I really wouldn't want to see something like this without a HD or some sort of local storage, and if you ever experienced it, you wouldn't either. It never hurts to try something before declairing it the next big thing.
Thats a very popular cliche. The fact is with NASA's shrinking budgets, they don't have the resources to design around potential failures. There's old school NASA that desinged the Cassini probe that has redundant systems and is properly designed and tested, and there's new school NASA that makes the cheap Mars probes. Just looking at the Mars probes you'll see why they have moved to this method. If you can make five fault intolerant probes for the same cost as one fault tolerant probe, and odd are that only two of the five work, then its a better idea to build the five crappy probes as you'll probely get twice the science benifit. The problem comes once you start throwing in human lives. Its okay if a manless probe crashes, its only things, but if you apply the same logic to manned missions.. you get the Columbia accident. Its not that NASA intentionally overlooked the problems because they expect people to die, its just that the methodology from the non manned flights have crept into their minds. At least thats my non-expert opinion.
But I guess it sort of applies to your software analogy as well. There have been a few companies who have discovered that its cheaper to have paying customers find the flaws in their software, rather than do any kind of formalized testing before release.
I don't know anyone gulible enough to do tha... No actually I know many people who would be that gulible, i just don't want them to be presented with the oppretunity to do something so foolish. How long would it take a company to create something like this 4-5 years? Do you really want to spend over $100 for a vauge idea? The chances of it ending up as a decent card are slim to none. I'd be really impressed if they came out with something on par with a geforce 2 in 4 years.
Sometimes "experts" in a field tend to look down on non experts in a field for not knowing the terminology in the field. Due to the limited nature of the cerebal cortex and basic smithian economics, it is to be expected that not everyone will take an enough of an interest in every field to learn the basic terminology. This is a good thing. The supperior attitide of the expert is generally a manifestation of deeper psycological neurosis indicating a lack of self confidence and a desire for recognition.
Sorry for the cookie mr troll, hope you're not diabetic.
Yeah, they taught that as an intro language at my alam matter Truman state university. Can't say that I cared for the language. I really think its a poor choice. Its not used for much outside of the aviation industry, and its not very simular to any other language outside of pascal/delphi.

Rosa Parks and MLK did not riot or advocate violence in any form. Please, Reread your history of the 1960's.

Thats just what I need. A really sharp, invisible razor blade. My face hurts just thinking about it.
well, he said the gear looked sexy. Then he implied that it makes him drop his pants. I think he really needs some professional help

Which tactic is it that you are protesting?
If they don't charge money, you can't buy it so your protest is in vain.
If they don't arrest people for not paying for it, they won't make money and they won't sell anything for you to buy.
So either way it looks like you won't be buying any of their products ever again regardless of what they do.
