Buisiness buzzwords are quite similar to technical terms.
I don't expect people to know any technical jargon (I.E. me "The keyboard yea the thing with the buttons probably right in front of the big square thing with glass in the front"), but even I don't have complete distain for the jargon of other disciplines.
Props to slashdot for trying to enlighten readers that there is more going on with the OS revolution than simply the technical aspects.
You may not want to learn the buzzwords but then perhaps someone else should be telling you what to do... (which sounds harsh but if someone doesn't know what IDE is they shouldn't be in there either).
Doing something requires knowing what is worth accomplishing, how hard it will be, and then doing it.
You the developer may not like having to do it one way but from a managers perspective whatever get's the job done is the most important thing.
Really appealing to the developer is a waste of statistics (and the main point of slashdot) as they don't think about what the purpose of their action is going to be.
Microsoft sure as hell isn't using their marketing/statics gatherers to prove it's "more fun for developers" Jesus.
Either it's war or not, if you want to compete with Microsoft then fucking do it.
If you want to write code that doesn't do the job, doesn't have usability, doesn't have compatibility, doesn't integrate, and doesn't consider business use then I don't know go make the next pong or something.
See my experience in Asia lends me to believe that they still learn mainly by word of mouth. So they really have no idea what's going on inside a computer. They have written diagrams.
Also the hardware they get tends not to have instructions in a language they can read which isn't really helping things much.
I played the original with a modem where I could consistently get 170 pings in Quake 1 (true pings not bullshit new CS pings) and got a 600+ ping in HL.
It was kind of fun, but the play balance was really wonky, most servers banned the Egon (they even had a special nickname for it) and almost all the weapons were instant kill.
I'm not saying tha Quake one had better weapon balance but the maps were set up in a way which minimized this inefficiency (DM4, DM6, DM2, and E1M2 are perhaps the most definitive maps ever made. They defined how a multiplayer map should play).
Sorry I don't understand, will I be unable to play DOD if I have a Bronze package?
I already have a HL key (for free, preordering is stupid[if I wanted to pay money before a product was done I would want some of the powers ascociated with being a producer]) but I am not sure which package it is.
I don't plan on banning all U.S. I.P.'s even if it does become clear that they have a vast majority of leechers.
Your ISP's are terrible and much of the fault lies there, (Upload download ratio's Yech...).
But more importantly is that a vast majority of the information being shared in this way is produced in the United States, so basically as a nod to your artists I will allow the non artists to have free access to information.
Which I think the Evil (you know which ones I mean) artists would find terrifying.
That's because you are used to crappy speech recognition programs which have no cues for when you are talking to the computer and have terrible accuracy.
Which is sad, it's like saying computers suck because my 286 can't run Doom 3.
Technologies need to mature this one is just being born.
Actually since speech can be done while doing something else (walking, making coffee driving etc.) it may become a dominant way to use computers from a mobile standpoint.
I.E. have a headset connection to a home computer.
Also since there is limited functionality that can be acheived through a headset (limited in variety not depth) the prediction paths and user interface will be much improved.
Basically once this is standardized as a method of interacting with an Operating System I think you'll find it will supplement being at your computer nicely.
The thing about the bubble is that people thought of it as a short term thing.
Really what companies were trying to do was to centralize services on the internet, if they had suceeded and been able to keep those monopolies for any length of time their mindshare alone would have been worth the investment.
Many of the companies that accomplished this are increadibly successful (Amazon, Google, MSN, Yahoo etc.)
Unfortunatly they never reached a level of dominance where they could control the advertisers, which was where a lot of income was supposed to come from. Also they didn't understand the idea of the internet which is to sell to everyone with a tiny profit margin(and infintesimal overhead) therby reaping huge rewards, instead they went with the "Spend tonnes of money on marketing then overcharge the consumer" market strategie which is so prevelent today.
There will be another bubble when people begin to think long term. This long term thought bubble may last longer than the short term thought bubble. (I think that's a funny pun, kill me).
When I was travelling my girlfriend had a 4.1mp Cannon beast with usb direct connect.
She plugged the damn thing into her iRiver and unloaded pictures whenever she felt like it.
It proved pretty useful at Angkor Wat when my 3 SD cards were all full she had about 50 gigs free.
This is pretty awsome I can definitly see this being a huge selling feature, I know I wouldn't buy another digital camera (I'm in the market mine got stolen in Shanghai) without at least hotswap functionality with my Nomad Jukebox 3.

Well you need a nuclear reactor to produce the radioactive isotopes you need.
Shadow they/we think you are wrong because floating points are the same as decimals in a traditional sense.
The floating point units in AMD and INTEL processors don't have to deal with infinite decimal points (like mathematicians often do) but 32 bits of depth or 64 (if you use double registers or an AMD system) or so on. It's entirely inside the programming.
Since both computers use the x86 instruction set the calculations they do on the data are carried out in identical ways, if there was a diffrence one would be ruled wrong and a huge scandal and recall would be immediatly released (it happened twice before both times with Intel chips).
If there is some other explanation which I didn't address please send it in.
There are tonnes and tonnes of really inovative and great free games out there.
The chances of publishers letting you know that are tiny!.
Mod makers do most of the work that goes into a complete game (except the engine which can be freely downloaded.
If they had another medium for distributing their work they would be releasing the game for free and creating new engines and games, this would spell the end of big video game business in relatively short order as people get pissed about subscription services, ridiculously high prices, backwards distribution policies, unpleasent anti-piracy measures, adware, gamespy arcade... the list goes on.
Since all phone trafic travels through their networks and all software is propreietary there is no reason for viruses to be able to spread.
Analysing and removing the packages that contain virus data could be done on the server level much more easily than at the client level, also by charging for the service they are allowing users with phones that don't have virus protection to become infected and increasing the threat of infection to their other users.
Basically they are screwing everyone in order to eventually offer virus support.

I believe because many places won't allow that option.
Good I thought he was pluging some form of MSN browser plugin, which I imagine would require using I.E.
Offtopic stop here:Their?, There? As in over there tracks? Dude I don't get it.
Do you mean Their which is the same word whether it's refering to the popups or someone else who would be forced to look at popups

Do we have benchmarks to back this up?
How does it compare with Dragon Naturally Speaking and the Microsoft thing?

My mom has to budget the damn things.
But when they see mac users creating these funky swx files?
I got a Microsoft mouse and it was lagging I couldn't figure it out. But once I installed their (increadibly bloated) driver it worked fine.
This is definitly not a monitor problem. dude. it's a driver problem...

This is a terrible frigging article.
