MS's search may or may not end up on top.. But typically they will not be able to stay on-top.. unlike most every other area they have reached dominance in they just cannot stick it in a "Objective reached" folder and toss a small team of people at it to keep it rolling in money... MS Fails to Truely Innovate.. what they can't aquire they dump money at and eventually come up with a product that is comparable and use thier desktop to lock out or prohibit competition... I don't think they will be able to use their time proven techniques to build a search engine and keep it on the top of the resource pile.
actually over the past Year Google has become less and less useful with people playing with page ranking... When I search for something Its a rare ocasion that I need to be directed to a Website where I can buy it... This is becomming all to common in my searches.. So when a New Search engine pops-up I give it a spin to see how many "Factual" hits I get rather than commercial hits.
Nuclear Energy!! Its the the best most efficient way we can generate energy when you go look at the over all window... The only down side is Waste which once we start "Stockpiling" enough of it then money can get dumped into better ways of disposal.. and with the rapid development of nanotech I am sure within 20-50 years the waste management will be easy as pie.. Modern day Plants and handling methods of waste are nearly bullet proof when compared to the dammage done by burning non-renewable resources and the ammount of pollutants released into the air.
Something needs to be done... possibly adding content associations in the DNS records... Who really cares whats legal and where.... Never one knows what Nudity is... have a set of flags in the DNS records that specify content that is available in that domain and be able to restrict browsers from accessing IP only sites and toss in Content control.. and away you go.. Not trampling on anyones feet.. the only thing you do is force Web sites to list geeric content in the DNS records. Porn sites should not occupy commercial namespace IMHO... I find it annouing to see 10,000 Sites all point back to teh same porn site... Its pointless and just "Trapping" typo's...
So what would happen for a history channel special about the holocaust... the subject matter could be considered highly offencive to the jewish comunity... would they have to blur out the screen and bleep out the whole show?
Its just bad use of language... The author should be sacked by fellow journalists... Its mixing context of meanings in a horrid way... Its like walking up to someone and saying "Whats the Diffrence Between an orange?"
But now what is going to happen is there will be a Billion wannabe's running about Prasing BIC-TCP cause its gonna make thier DSL connection 6,000 times faster.
But really its a horrid statement they way it was made... and to be more true to the example used.. if you didn't know how fast 100kph was or 62 mph it would like saying 100 kph/62mph is like 35 Monika Lewinski's internships at the whitehouse:)
In other news a New legal proceedure developed by SCO not only gets better gas mileage than your SUV but will also save you a bundle on your insurance:)
Yeah but the home consumer... Who can we pit up against MS not to mention the lack of a mechanism to do so... Walk into a Store and tell them you might just run linux unless you get a deal on Windows... the answer you get back is "Go Ahead"... so unless your a business you have nothing to do but pay the "fine"(for being stupid enough to let the powers that be let MS get away with their monopoly)
As far as Returning based on the Intels HT and trying to run a dual HT Processor system... Might as well return the hardware too.. I am sure they will object to that even though you are doing it to reject MS draconian licencing.
Their licencing is based on the idea that only a business user would need more than 2 CPU's (cause heck.. we will never need more than 640K of memory anyway).. They don't offer a product for the home market. the cost of a 4 CPU licence is outrageous for home use.. what are you going to do... under utilize your hardware (even though you most likely would even if you did have a 4 cpu licence) because MS doesn't think that the home PC market needs a 4 CPU licence? If you think they do have that right... I need to move very far away from you because if that train of thought is catchy next thing MS will be taking a % of your paycheck because they think that is what needs to be done:) (Massive sarcasm BTW on that last statement but hey who knows:) )
There are loads of Linux PC buyers that failed at getting a refund on the MS tax because they were unable to buy a canned PC at the time without a OS (That is the price not included in the sale price)... (I am not aware that those usssues ever did get resolved untill MS was forced to offer licencing that did include 100% of PC produced.).. and to MS those licences were not transferable eventhough the licence was never used...
I call it more of a act of civil disobedience in protest of the current laws that are in place that remove the rights of the end consumer and allow Corporations draconian control over what is deemed fair use.
Would be quite interesting would be to see MS use their Monopoly to Fight back literally... Unbundle WMP only on their server software and remove their desktop OS from the market place...
I know there is a abundant ammount of implications involved.. but it would be a interesting thing to see the fallout of such a action on their part.. It would never happen.. but still Its a interesting scenario
MS doesn't know what a level playing field looks like.. and it doesn't seem like they care to either.. they wield a monopoly and use it as leverage to keep cometition at bay and to force the public to keep them as the "Leaders" of software innovation(even though what they come up with is not innovation).
Well letting WMP stay with the OS and bundling Competitor Software with the OS Will not work!..
Look at how often IE would pop up still after netscape was installed and selected as the default browser... It wasn't uncommon for a Patch or service pack to reset the IE as default setting... Basically IE was forced on you even if you had netscape installed... The same will happen with WMP.. It must be completely removed and MS should faced Heavy Fines when their WMP is activated through software without the end users consent..This wil most likely bomb and be a unfeasable idea for the most part.. But if the statement is made loud and clear that this possibility does exsist for them to be fined heavily for overriding these settings they might get the message.. if they decide to continue with the previous track record then it could be feasable to do a study of their software and how it overrides the users settings and be fined accordngly..
Care to elaborate... I fail to see any Skill that only a select group of people can only learn.
What is driving Outsourceing is greed... Roll back time to the 70's.. Nearly everyone had a job and made a good wage... There was a vast vast majority of people that could afford the finer things in life... but since we hit this downsizing mode unemployment is high... the vast sums of money is being held by fewer and fewer people every year.. Nowadays its rare that when a move is made to outsource that cost savings are realized by the consumer(usually it only seen in small sums in relation to savings to boost profitability of the company)...
It sickens me to see companies bought and sold off(Dismantled) or just outright closed aand dismantled just because they don't "Make enough profit"... This is one area law makers should really attack with legislation to prevent this type of behaviour... any viable business should not be closed
Using Canadian is Quite Odd.. Canadian "Lingo" Is heavily influenced by the US... If you walk about and ask people to open up the Bonnet or Boot on thier car the vast majority of them will get a confused look on their face... These terms are more widely used in the UK and more European English speaking countries... and I am sure the Canadians they would know the refrences to Boot and Bonnet in relation to automotive terms would probably never actually use them in daily conversations. Petrol on the other hand is alot more widely used but still not "Mainstream"
Didn't redhat set up a warchest and a amnesty program to protect its client base from SCO? or was it that they were one of the odd commercial distro's that did not... but if they did opt out on this type of fund they really need to look at it again to prvent their client base from supporting SCO's actions... They need to stop their name from ending up in the press when someone does give into SCO FUD and pay the fee's...
I highly doubt this will affect their business very much at all really... They may lose a tiny handful of people.. and unfortuneatly they will stick some sort of language in their adverts about being squared off with SCO. I would just hope there is a clear stipulation that when SCO looses its case in court they get a refund with Interest:)
I hope they lose a substancial amount of business over this.. and know why.. I can see it now...."Yeah accounting.. You know that check we issued for SCO... Put a Stop Payment on it:)"... Then Shortly after there after "And in our recent news.. Since we Put a stop payment order on our check to sco.. Not only did we regain all of our customers we lost.. but we also showed a 50% increase in business... Guess People really like to see SCO getting yanked around":)
Maryland's voting terminals will be wrapped in tamper proof tape.
Cool does it come with that Magic Server Pixie Dust and a Universal Business Adapter (That actually does require an adapter to connect to a unix machine) and some of those other cool Gizmo's on IBM's commericals?
It wouldn't be too bad at all... Cost of materials would be the Biggest one... After all when you can get Labour for 0.35$ US (In some Third world nation) a day for a 10 hour day it would cost 8.75$ US if the same ammount of labour was required to make additional ones:)
Umm... What about the rash of.NET exploits? or is what they are saying.NET actually isn't anything new at all.. and just new SPIN on a old technology (I know its not.. but couldn't resist the remark:) )

Name 1 OS sun has ever marketed towards the home user....... there is none...
Yeah but the home consumer... Who can we pit up against MS not to mention the lack of a mechanism to do so...

It is probably allready well on its way to be incorprated into the OS just as IE "was" so removal is not a option.
:) )
Anyone with Longhorn installed want to see if they can remove WMP without crashing the OS (anymore than normal

Not knowing for sure.. But Cheap components and weight is most likely the factors that hare the most likelyness to contribute to this.
