Plasma is nifty stuff if you have ever played with it. I used to work in a lab w/ a few coaters that we used to coat our SEM samples so that the samples wouldn't charge. (Glow under examination in the chamber.)You could gold or cromium plate a set of safety glasses and various other things. I should have tried this mabe I would still have a job...
I live in FL and you have to understand the political climate. This is a state with no (state) income tax. The people in office got there by going with the flow. They will tax a business a lot faster than the general populous. Like the hospitality tax. This is due to the tourist industry basically along w/ the lottery paying the the state enough money to not have to levy a state income tax. Not the brightest idea (taxing a lan?!?) but at least it's not law yet.
The author did an excellent job illustrating his ideas. I also think he has a valid point. M$ is suffering from an attack from within. It's vitally important for M$'s management and developers to adopt the Co. vision. "Buy, beg, borrow or steal your way to a good stock price." Then in 2 or 3 years they can find themselves residing in a van down by the river because the once powerful M$ will have fallen from grace. This has happened to many a once great giant. Look at Lucent, for instance.
