You opinon is quite colorful and reminds me of the bright colors of the spring festival in Kobe. But the bitter aftertaste of the automaker's decit is in disharmony with my mouth. I think you would have done better to follow the example of the other posters and incoperated some sort of dig against the french in general. Yes, the le Car was quite humerous and any refernce to it leaves me quite happy.
If you can devise a metric for "Public good will" and then chart the value representing Mircosofts amount it has, X, does there exist a non zero number n, such that X-n !=X ?
I was wondering if anyone else caught the irony. That did not pose any frequently asked questions or pretend to present any answers to any questions. I think he wrote it just to piss us off.
I realise I may be feeding a troll, but too many people have that serious opinion. Let me jsut layout some coutner arguements:
Relativity is not 'useless' satalite communication would not be work if we didn't make relitivistic corrections. So unless you consider cellphones "worthless", then the theory is worthwhile. Not only does cellphone technology rely on satalites, but also on the precise atomic clocks contained with in them. And those atomic clocks rely on our quantum mechanical understanding of atoms. Thats not to say that this particular research directly led to our widespread cellphone usage, but its just an example of how much basic research affects our daily lives.
Now, every now and then pure mathematicians will come up with an obscure field that they will decalre as being unaplicable to anything ever ( see group theory). Then a few years later a group of physicsists will discover that it has a real application in physics. Then they will speculate wildly about the potential applications in an attempt to gain greater funding, while privately thinking that it has no possible use. Then some crazy engineer will discover some such use ( usually one the physicists never thought of) and whoila it has a real world benifit to all of mankind. The more tools we have to solve problems, the easier the problems become. The tools have a trickle down effect. More mathematical tools lead to more physics tools which lead to more engineering tools which lead to more solutions to our everyday problems.
Go take an economics class! Learn about things you only think you know. You'll be suprised at how little you know. Education- the key weapon in the fight against arogant ignorance!
How many nuclear attack subs would it take to nuke Australia? I'm guessing that one could. So Australia still gets nuked. Even if you take out all of the nuke attack subs, we still have many different planes, and ICBM's that can still acomplish the task at hand.
Oh, wait these are not subs that have nukes, but subs that run on nuclear power. I forgot about that. Why fight at all when we can just export Mc Donalds to every country and kill them slowly with obesity? If you ask me, thats Mutually assured destruction.
Thats probely my fault. What I was trying to get across is that Microsoft does not believe that all open source is wrong Like many other compaines. It does believe that the GPL is a bad license.
Does IBM Open Source everythig they do? How about Novell? Red Hat? It seems to me, that there are situations where companies can profit from making the code open, and others where it would lose more than it would gain. As time goes on, I think thats just going to become more common.
When I was at college, all of the computers ran nt 3.51. So It was a common occurnace to enter acomputer lab and see 1/4 of the computers sitting at the blue screen of death. There was a dramatic increase in quality when they upgraded all of the existing machines to NT4. Blue screens were very rare. Then again they waited for service pack 4 before upgradding, so I'm sure the previous versions were not as solid.
Its a lot easier to send 100 messages a day from Outlook than it is from Hotmail. So if you still want to spam it will take you longer. If you have multiple email accounts to get around the limit then this will reduce the number that you can send.
One of the problems open/star office has is that it takes forever to save or open a document due to its gzipped xml format. I know people here are willing to embrace anything that is an alternative to a microsoft product, but i really think that we could come up with something much better than this. Lets not lock ourselves into a stupid format.
Are you saying that everyday spent reading slashdot is sad? Well, Is it us that are made sad by reading slashdot, or do we read slashdot because we are sad? Or is it the website that is sad? And do we make it sad, or do we read it because its sad? Inquiring minds want to know!
Every one at slashdot thinks they understand science because they think of themselves as geeks. I say it is not being a geek that makes you a scientist, but being a scientist makes you a geek. This story is a perfect example. Some material does something that we would not expect based upon our own observational experience, but since we "know science" it must violate all of our accepted scientific ideas. Its really funny if you don't take it serious. Seriously it must show that our educational system has doen such a poor job of explaining the basics of the scientific process and/or that we'd rather make fools of ourselves than admit that we don't know everything.
But maybe you would have better success if it wasn't a fantasy novel. If you really want to explore on an adult level the sorts of emotions you or I would find ourselves if we were in that situation. you need to place us in a position that isn't difficult to grasp. What I'm saying is that often in fantasy or scifi books the superfoulous crap thats put in (Technological devices in scifi, wizards and magic in fantasy) gets in the way of exploring those emotions.
Thats quite likely, but look at the consequence of it. Kerry has to "act" to try to "relate" to a sizable portion of the country he wants to lead. It comes off as very fake. Although Bush and Kerry both came from very privledged backgrounds, somehow Bush can relate to people of other backgrounds. We've turned national politics into a cult of personality. Bush just has a more likeable personality, so he will get elected.
The x86 architecture's success can always be attributed to the victory of pragmatisim over idealism in the marketplace. It will only die if it makes market sence for it to die, regardless of the ugliness in its archetecture.
No, Hp isn't going to make any more Itanium Workstations. It will continue to sell more Itanium servers,and OpenVMS will never die. But it would make sense to port it to Opteron anyway.
Regardless of what anyone thoguth about getting involved in the first place, the current situation needs be dealt with. I'm sure you were against it, but thats not a reason to elect you now. We can't go back in Time and correct any mistakes that we have made. What would you do to achive a peaceful resolution in Iraq? Do you have any idea on how to deal with radical millitant Islamic fundimentalism in regards to the danger it represents towards the rest of the world that do not share their beliefs?

Its hard to tell. It does look like some fluid is going in that tube. It might not be enough to qualify as a 1.

There continues to be some sesmic activity after the small eruption of steam and ash. So it might not be over yet.
c) Introduce a crippled, lower cost version of Windows: Windows XP Starter Edition.

Are you kidding me, they're freakin invisible.
Its true, TV has always had this effect. The last time substance mattered over style was during the Lincoin - Douglas Debates.
Check out the last five questions and answers on the same page! Get the fealing it came from the redundancy department of redundancy?

No, AMD has doen no such thing. Years ago they agreed to a cross IP licencing agreement that allows them to use intel ip and intel to use theirs.
