(well, ok,.NET would have created a system that would run your line-of-business apps without problem, but when it comes to very high performance, low latency systems, its simply not suitable, a bit like Java is not suitable for nuclear reactors).
Funny how people make claims without stating facts. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange uses JAVA as the runtime for their trading engines and I don't hear anyone complaining about speed. Round trip times are less than 3ms if you are in the Chicago Metro Area.
We have run.NET for our main trading platform for over three years. We haven't had a problem with it yet. It all depends upon how good the architects and developers are.
I'm willing to bet it wasn't Microsoft who wrote the heart of TradeElect but Accenture. Through experience with that company, it is the turd that can't be polished.
Besides, what was the LSE thinking when they brought in a third party to develop their trading system? It should have been developed in house.
Highly skilled huh? So their papers say. 15 to 20 percent of all H1-B Visa holders have phony papers.
Sorry, but if an H1-B employee and a citizen have the same skillset, the citizen should keep his/her job over the H1-B employee. That's the way it should be in any country.
Fat lazy Americans? You must be a smelly, lazy Frenchmen or worse a smelly, rude Indian.
If you need email, use telnet.
Seriously, I think having a minimal OS is good. If the user wants email, they can do a search on google and come up with a laundry list of email apps. But in the end, it is their choice and not Microsoft's. I think a lot of people commenting are missing that point.
I have no problem with that. Let them develop the technology and once we need it, we'll steal their secrets from them like they have been doing to us all these years.
Oh America can retaliate. As a previous poster said, pull all American companies from China. It's non-military and its affects China where it hurts most - the pocket book. Their economy would start to crumble quickly.
Tech companies are doing it to themselves. Why would any recent high school graduate major in Computer Science when they know they will probably end up being replaced by a foreign worker on the cheap or worse, not even hired? If I had to do it all over, I wouldn't.
It's a cycle that just keeps going and going until all our white-collar jobs will be outsourced and there will be no middle class left. We can thank our government for that.
I can go on and on about this but I have neither the time nor the inclination.
Here in the U.S. we have age limits and certain guidelines to follow when buying/selling pornography. Typically, movies/videos are located on the lower shelf behind the counter or in a separate room where access is monitored or a pornography store. As far as I know, you have to be 18 years of age or more to buy it as well. I don't see anything wrong with selling pornography this way and I agree with it. As a parent, I don't want pornography readily available to my children. Whether you want to believe it or not, pornography is a lot easier to obtain off the internet than anywhere else.
Take for example the website http://www.nick.com/ (Nickelodeon). Say your child is typing in the web address and accidentally types in http://www.dick.com/ because of a typo. They have just went to a website that is not suitable for a child. Having the website http://www.dick.xxx/ is more suitable under this scenario. I can filter the website/domain as not suitable at the fwl/rtr level.
I've never been to Europe and observed the practice of selling porn there, but I don't see how this would kill the porn industry if all pornographic content was placed in its own domain. We do the same thing here in the states through normal retail outlets and I don't hear the porn industry complaining about that.
Am I judging pornography? Yes I am. I like it just like the next guy, but I don't think it is suitable for my 5 year old and 7 year old. I think there definately has to be a change made and right now having.xxx is the only solution I see so far.
I was thinking the same thing myself. If you want fast code, use VC, Borland, GCC, etc. If you want it to be fully optimized, then buy the compiler from the CPU vendor - it makes since.
Maybe its just me, but I would never buy an Intel compiler for code running on an AMD - common since.
For signing the NAFTA agreement. Things went downhill after that. A thousand jobs in my home town were lost a few months ago to Mexico. Now the local economy is in the crapper. Way to go Bill(U.S. Government). It was the worst decision he made - even worse than the 'Hiding the Cigar' decision.
I've had SBC Business DSL(6 ip's, 1.5/256 up) for 79.95 for the last 2 years. I haven't had to call them for more than a year.
I had cable before but i had to choose my download times or they would take forever. I would rather have a constant download rate than one that fluctuated.
The only issues are having to NAT ip's on the router to my firewall and to get them to stop sending me those damn SBC-Yahoo DSL CD's.
I use the NT Boot loader right now with my dual boot machine(Win2K/RH9) which in turn runs GRUB when selecting Linux. Will this "bug" affect me as well?
Since all this week it has taken me no less than 10 minutes to log into my PC because our Novell servers have been AWOL, I'm starting to think Novell software suX0rz!!!
Might be that the age group of 18-34 is the prime age for reproduction. I'm have a 2 and 4 year old who take all my time when I get home. By the time I get them to bed, I have an hour to an hour and a half before I go to bed. If I'm going to waste it on television, there better be something good on ( which there tends not to be ).
What I watch:
Monster's Garage
American Chopper
History Channel
Soprano's
I wonder what Linux security hole allowed that to happen
Who says the dump wasn't burnt to cd's. I didn't see anywhere where they said the box was compromised. If MainSoft opened it to the internet(NAT or Default Gateway), they deserve what they got. M$ for that matter as well. And yes, I did use the $.

Business and Computer Science is the way to go - Business focusing on investments. If you can trade and program, you'll be retired by 40.
Do you play them and if so which do you like better Doom III or Half Life 2?
I think it got hooked up to the Hydrocon in Alpha Labs by one of the workers.
Since you posted anonymously, I'm guessing your name is Richard Head. I hope you don't mind me calling you Dick.
Dick, I'm going to make this short and sweet for you. Simply put, parents, spend more time with your kids rather than the t.v.
Back to the game. Straight up AWESOME.
My only knock on Doom III was I thought it needed more cowbell

I will not install another M$ OS for the rest of my life.
