My new viewsonic 20" (VP201B) is the most amazing thing i've bought in years. I went from the old apple b&w 17" CRT to this thing, and I see not a single downside.
Yes, the TCO of windows drops dramatically if you aren't paying for it in the first place. I don't know anyone that has actually bought it, come to think of it.
the web is a great medium to deploy business applications - just because making simple web sites isn't paying $200 an hour doesn't mean it's a dead area, it just means you need to know more than frontpage.
ummmm.... sleazy? it's not like it's exploiting a bug in explorer to install through a backdoor or something. when you click the "MUSIC STORE" link, it would launch the music store. if you don't have it, install it.
much like IE, it'll just get integrated into windows. you won't even need to be in media player, you'll just think of a song and it'll download a JANUS version of whatever song you wanted or didn't want. It will also not work with your ipod or let you transfer it to another computer. If you try, it'll just charge you.
then an xbox will show up in the mail, and you'll hear bill and steve screaming like little girls off in the distance.
As far as I can tell, MS (and GNOME 2.6 it would seem), seem to envision a filesystem where every file is simply dumped to one / or c:\ directory and this uber search finds all the files I'll ever need for me? Is this a joke? In this senario, ~50% of all the metadata will be the same for every file. I made it, with my privilages, with my settings etc... . After a while, even the simplest of searches will bring back a dozen matches. I can't see this working.
Umm.. no. Actually you'd still have an organized directory structure that you could browse through. Bill has said this before.
much like a guiness with a twist cap, it's brilliant. think about it - everyone is going to try to get their hands on this. It'll be on bit torrent, ftp sites, everywhere. yeah it's a risk but the possible rewards are huge.
they will "release" it when everyone and their sister has downloaded a copy.
if you sat down in front of the mono lisa and you were to draw an exact likeness of it, then leave with your copy, it would not be considered theft, would it?
if it's just bounced back then how is that bad? there will never be a perfect system - even whitelisting involves a bounceback. I'd be more than happy with 1 out of 25,000 e-mails being incorrect. I bet more mail gets lost by the post office.
Give me a break. No one said only search the arab guy. But when someone can't breath or walk send the damn guy through. As Lewis Black said, "the enemy may be unscrupulous, but they are not masters of disguise."
Allchin points to new features in the version of Windows due in 2007 that will allow users to remotely turn PCs on or off
My dear lord they are innovating at an exponential rate! Quite possibly next they will unleash "a pointer device cabable of interacting with the screen."

That's why I've resurrected my old ENIAC to play Doom 3.

It's a recursive name, like PHP. Z(something) file (system) => file (system)=>file
heh, braveheart 2 would center around mel gibson's disembodied head going into insanity and fighting for the english.

yes, and then by creating a fake windows update site one could deliver hundreds of viruses.
yes, because 20 years ago computeres were slow pieces of shit.
don't listen, just take the cover off. beware the eye mangling laser.

Try disabling this

Worst Idea Ever. (in the voice of the comic book store owner from the simpsons)
Here are some stats - i had just attended a conference where the rate of postal mail loss was given:
23.6% is incorrectly addressed
17% is delayed
2.7% is undeliverable

The question really is, did you type out all that, or write a perl script to do it for you?
and the beauty is you will pull us mac users along for the ride.
Except ready to go full text searching, the ONLY thing keeping me on mysql.
Heh, here's a good "new feature"
