Yes. That would be 20% of their time, not 100% of their wouldn't it? What I'm saying is if Google adds one more OS to the fray, what are the chances of it getting 1% or even 3% of the OS market? I'm not going to switch my OS for anything Google puts out because I don't see an OS as "their thing." They have no tradition, no roots, and most of all, no claim to anything unique in the OS world. However, I would me very inclined to use any database tools they come out with such as replacement for Microsoft SQL Server. I know they have a unique perspective on data storage so I would more than trust them in that area.
I think it's a waste of Google talent. They should concentrate on data collection, aggregation, and dissemination tools.

Toy Story 3 Scrapped

Wow. I made it this far down the list of posts and came across the exact same sentiment I was getting ready to post about. Maybe Pixar/Disney could license sound clips from various "Ernest" movies to add to the Toy Story 3 voiceovers. With so many "Ernest" movies to sample from, there shouldn't be any problem piecing together relevant Slinky Dog conversational interjection. Such as Ernest's famous "Ewwweweweeweew!" when seeing or smelling something gross.
"All you have to do is add a few lines to your page"
And this is different from browser detection, how? The method you described is simply passive rather than active. As was pointed out, this adds load time to your page. Some people actually like having efficient and easy-to-follow code with short load times.
There are several benefits to the XMLHttpRequest object over IFRAME. I won't go into all of them, but essentially XMLHttpRequest provides an object interface (with all of its due properties and methods) to help you as the developer manage the synchronization and transmission status at a lower level. On a related note, if one is running PHP, one can also user another alternative:
You think a standards body should also be a policing agency? That's crazy! I don't think MS or any developer would appreciate being told what they can and cannot do under penalty of law. The W3C is there to offer the standard, not enforce it.
IE driving web standards is partially true, but as for a collective effort, MS still has a lot to change to be as compliant as other browsers, and it's easier for one browser to change than all the others. It's called net industry efficiency.
I was wondering about this very thing just last week. It's definitely a step in the right direction. Now if only MS would care enough to create a browser that behaves and renders more closely to the already superior browsers like Firefox and Safari. Web designers would no longer have to go through the anguish of browser detection for things as simple as page layouts. There's nothing like spending 2+ hours trying to get a single page template to render the same in IE and Safari/Firefox using only CSS. Next on my list: Could Apple please provide better DOM & XPath support in its Safari Javascript engine?
I don't see open source as viable. If the voiceovers weren't already completed, it's going to be quite difficult to get RDA or Michael Shanks to do the voice acting, or at the very least their caliber and nuance. If it's anyone but the actual actors from the show, it wouldn't be the same. I for one as a huge SG-1 fan wouldn't play it even if it was free.
I'll make a prediction that part of the Apple/Intel deal was two-fold on the Firewire 800 situation. First, Apple agreed to dump FW800 to play up Intel's USB technology. That's nothing new, but second, Apple will collaborate with Intel on making a USB 3.0 that's at least as good as FW800 if not better.
Your "better" example also assigns the wit to his politician role. His wit was universal, not just when he was a politician. The original sentence stands fine on its own.
I realize that was just meant to be funny, but if waking up is analogous to being drunk, those under 21 should not fall asleep. Sleep (most of the time) leads to waking up. Drinking (most of the time) leads to drunkenness.
Only if it's an elevator in a police station, fire station, school, commercial building, or government building. My grandfather had an elevator in his building that was used for commercial purposes downstairs and for personal living space upstairs. The building was actually zoned that way. So, I guess it would have been illegal only if someone pressed all the buttons going up.
I've got to say it's the Santa Jobs factor. The anticipation of new products always seems to be on the mind of attendees and remote Apple watchers. A MacExpo keynote is like Christmas morning. If you can understand the excitement surrounding the age-old tradition of sneaking a peek at Santa Clause delivering his presents, and wondering ahead of time what you'll get this year, you can understand a Steve Jobs keynote.
I use a Mac for my personal computing (due to a more productivity inducing interface and tools), but when I program (professionally) I can't stand Xcode + Objective C. I sympathize with spectre on this. I much prefer how the interface ties to the code in Microsoft's C#/VS.NET or even VB6 for that matter. Believe it or not, if I have to develop an application that needs to run on a Mac, so far I've stuck to making it work through a browser using PHP. I would love to see Apple create a real IDE (as in INTEGRATED, not Interface Builder and Xcode as separate environments) with more language choices. Maybe Apple could even dust off Dylan and add it to the language lineup.
I knew what IS was when I read the article, but there seems to be a job description malfunction. I'm not sure IS/MIS is what the original poster was really wanting. Evaluating software and administrating a network are largely IT jobs. IS more specifically handles the exchange and storage of information and MIS handles the reporting of said information. IS/MIS is all about information, not software evaluation or network connectivity.
Unless this factors storylines, soundtracks, and whether the actors have ever been in a successful movie of that genre (e.g. Gene Wilder in a military action thriller), this is worthless. Furthermore, if movie executives reply on this rather than gut instinct, the quality of movies will likely fall even more. Sleeper hits for instance would never be produced any more. Movies that don't reach the height of their popularity until years after being in the theaters would never be produced. Movies that generate more revenue from merchandise than ticket sales would never be produced. Movies that have greater appeal because the actors are relatively unknown. I bet Star Wars would never have been produced if this software were used as a guide.
I'm all for automation and simulation through software, but this just gives greedy, lazy executives a reason to kill quality movie making, what little there is left.
The poster can answer this for certain, but I wonder if his histogram doesn't include reserved words found in comments. It seems to me that the word "default" would be found a lot in comments to describe the default value being assigned to a variable.

In fact, Apple is working with Microsoft to get Windows to boot on a Macintel through VPC. It seems like a virtual machine we will have.

Q: How many IT workers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: One, at Microsoft. Everyone else has to license the process from them or wear night vision gear (Microsoft is working on the candle patent).
