The NeWS version of UniPress's Gosling Emacs text editor was the first commercially available product to pioneer the use of multiple tabbed windows in 1988.
Six years later, in 1994, BookLink Technologies featured tabbed windows in its InternetWorks browser.
The tabbed interface approach was then followed by the Internet Explorer shell NetCaptor in 1997.
These were followed by a number of others like IBrowse in 1999, Opera in 2000 (with the release of version 4), Mozilla in 2001...
IE has supported tabs for years through 3rd party plugins and IIRC MS released some Live Something which brought tabs to IE 6 couple of years ago. Firefox was released when? 2003 under the name Phoenix, which later became Firebird and Firefox?
your contacts can email you a meeting request and TBird puts it in your calendar automagically - and that meeting goes in your BlackBerry/Treo/Gizmo-of-the-week
And the ability to book meeting room and keep track of how many people are going to participate, if someome suggests another meeting time and so on. I can live without those but I know many people who can't.
Also the integration to CRM system is a great tool for some people.
But what I'd like to see is somekind of mix of Exchange, MS CRM, MS Projects, SharePoint Services and SourceSafe, possibly all integrated in to Visual Studio. It would be great if I could open up somekind of project view, check for bug reports, doubleclick bugreport which would checkout the source code (with appropriate version/tag if one is mentioned in bug report), fix the code and do check-in, and the system would inform all the necessary people that bug has been fixed via email. Also the tool could provide easy access to project documentation and perhaps update class diagrams and such automatically.
What if virtual machine uses Plan9 and attack is initiated from remote machine across the network, would that count as remote hole?:) I'm not sure if that's even possible though...
And I thought that hating some colored piece of plastic is by definition irrational behavior. What has it done to you to deserve such hatred? Ate you cereals?
Anyways, during that four month period his employment can be severed for without the employer having to provide a justification (or indeed to have one).
And another thing. If employer gives employee a reason why they terminated your work contract during that four month period, employee (now ex-employee) could bring the subject to the court for illegal termination. Well, if employer's reasons was illegal. So it's safer for employer just to be quiet about it. Don't know if this is the case in this particular situation though, just generally speaking.
Btw. This is the reason why you don't get any feedback when you apply for a new job and don't get selected.
Btw2. According to my translator koeaika: noviciate, parole, probation, qualifying period, trial period
Make sure that meeting has sufficient authority over matters that are in the agenda
Introduce subjects from the agenda (or call other people to do the introduction) and start discussion about them
Give meeting members turns to make statements about the subject
End discussion about the subject
Close the metting and decide new meeting time if necessary
Or at least I was instructed so.
Chairman isn't supposed to make his own statements at the meeting. Chairman's power comes from the ability to give turns to other people to make statements. He can give more turns to some people and/or give more time to make the statement.
To this day I haven't heard a single chairman to step down from his position, make statement and re-elect himself back to chairman's position:)
So? I have VB code from 1993 which still runs properly. All the new code is written in C# and guess what? Everything runs side-by-side nicely on the same machine. Difference between 1993 and 2007 code is that old code is about 100000 lines longer which means more bugs and more testing. It's not that you need to rewrite everything every three year.
But that's impossible since everybody here knows that you CAN'T FIX ANYTHING IF YOU ARE RUNNING VISTA and that only way to solve the problem is to upgrade to XP. Also Vista kills kittens.
Hey! Could we have article how Vista kills kittens?
Unfortunately this clippy example is more showing how open source could be great.
And another thing... When I was in business college our marketing teacher said that never, ever mention your rival at commercial or in fact try to avoid metioning at all! There's always the risk that audience remembers your competitor's name and not yours. For example:
We had this car commercial in TV here in Finland. It was supposed to Chrysler commercial I think. In the middle of the commercial the guy was having a birthday said "I wish you all had a brand new Volvo." Well now only thing I can remember are the words "brand new Volvo" and not the actual car that was marketed.
So when you are making great speeches about OSS and it's benefits, try to avoid metioning your competitors and especially try to avoid that MS bashing which seems to be so popular. Audience could start to think "Hmmm. He spends so much time bashing his competitors so there must be something wrong with his product (also)."
You can search from anywhere you like. Vista gives even nice notice to you that you are searching from non-indexed places and search might take a while because of that. Or you can add directories and drives to your indexed locations. I added %ProgramFiles% and my D drive to indexed locations. Vista indexes those parts when it's running idle and doesn't lag a shit.
It seems that all this whining crap comes from users who know shit about their systems. Are you totally incapable in learning something new? Stick with XP, or better yet switch to Linux, and stop whining.
I answer only to this since I got to go in couple of minutes.
First of all, my english isn't so good so sorry if there was some rude or offending language:)
Second, I wasn't aware that childcare and family life is so different in USA (I assume that's where you live?). We have socially funded childcare system here in Finland. We pay something like 120 euros a month to local community and goverment pays the rest. We don't have nannies who come by to care the children or anything like that or at least it is not a custom. It is also not a custom to mothers get together with their children on dialy basis. It is considered almost rude. Something like every once a week is OK though:)
But my totally uneducated personal opinion on the matter from what I've seen is that kids who do not go to daycare tend to be not so socially skilled. But now when I come to think about it, those kids are at home with their mother almost 24/7 so they don't get much social contacts besides their mother and father. And if their parents are raised the same way I don't think they have very extensive social skills either.
And after all the yada-yada I don't and won't consider that taking my kid to daycare is a bad thing. I wasn't at daycare when I was a child and I had huge difficulties to learn social stuff at the later age. But now I'm almost "normal" though I don't like to meet strange people very often:) Hopefully my son come up better than I...
you have young children and leave them in childcare, there is nothing inherently wrong with that technically, but it isn't very nice for the parents nor the children.
WHAT?! How it is not nice to leave your children to childcare? Are your childcare services so lousy or what? Children, like adults, learn social skills when communicating with each others. Basically more people or around, more skills your learn (unless you have some medical condition of course). Even "bad" situations where kids argue and even fight with each other is a learning experience for everyone. Of course adult supervision is needed so that things won't go out of hand. But if you start over-protecting your kids, what kind of people they make when they are adults?
Don't get me wrong. There's people who abuse this system. They leave their kids for 12 hours a day to childcare because they don't want to be with them for some reason. Those people should get some serious therapy, I think.
After couple of kicks in the nuts no-one sounds rather positive. And unfortunately bad employer can ruin employee so that he won't be able to perform 100% for the next employer. Enough bad employers can bring anybody to a situation where one thinks about moving to a totally different area.
Just my personal view of the overall situation at the IT industry.
Yes, there's some places to get one but they cost the same, or more, as a computer with Windows.
How can this be when a retail copy of Windows costs {$hundreds}?
Blame 3rd party software vendors like Symantec and such. They bundle their products (read: crap to slow your PC down) with Windows PC and split couple of coins to OEM's pocket thus bringing the price down. Same kind of effect is little hard to come up with Linux bundled systems for obvious reasons.
And do you expect OEMs to buy Windows with retail price? Volume discount ring any bells?:)
Yes. My test worked out just as I expected. If you say "I don't upgrade to Vista" you get +5 informative. But if you say "I have upgraded to Vista" you get minus points.
100% of Windows boxes upgraded to Vista at our home. No reason to keep 7 years old systems around.
0% of Windows XPs upgraded at my work. Damn IT support! May their souls burn in/dev/hell forever for preventing me to use the system that works the best for me!

Absolutely right. Singularity and F#. Can't wait to get my hands on those.

Eye candy is run on GPU. DRM is only run when you are wathing DRM'd content (which I very much doubt that you have such).
But then again this is Slashdot and as some president said, facts are stupid things, so go ahead with your ignorant FUD slinging.

Oh, I didn't see you standing next to me when I upgraded from XP to Vista. But good that you know better.
You can search from anywhere you like. Vista gives even nice notice to you that you are searching from non-indexed places and search might take a while because of that. Or you can add directories and drives to your indexed locations. I added %ProgramFiles% and my D drive to indexed locations. Vista indexes those parts when it's running idle and doesn't lag a shit.

Favorites.
I coded one for XP some time ago. I'm sure there's others if you care to google a bit.
Oh? I had virtual desktops in XP (or was it 2K) back in year 2000. Windows has supported virtual desktops from NT 4.1 if I remember correctly.
Vista is faster on my laptop (ASUS G1) than XP and has more functionalities.
win+r, cmd.exe, taskkill /?
There's a environment variable USERPROFILE for this. Spaces are absolutely valid characters in folder and file names (as they are in *nix).
First you want folders without spaces, now you want filenames with spaces. Are we contradicting ourselves here a bit? Or just trolling?
Depends on the software. All the software I write uses XML config files.
Visual Studio / SQL Server Express editions are perfectly free and can be used in production.
So you want MS to update system files that are locked at runtime but not to reboot? I didn't know that is even possible.
Maybe you shouldn't be?
Amen! Now since you brought this subject up I just remembered that I need to renew my prescription for sedatives...
