Ummm...he was pointing out that you gave us a paragraph of worthless information. Telling me that Apache can host HTML is like saying I can put water in a bucket, no shit, I can put a lot of other stuff in there as well. For instance I have apache host a very proprietary code for my web cams, that requires the correct activex controller to view. But he meant, if you referring to what apache can and can't do, HTTP would be a better example. That is a protocol it can handle, and defines how it transfers data.
I don't think many companies would still use Apache if it didn't support the number one browser in use. SO that is a stupid argument, IIS allows Mozilla people access, so what's your point, seems like a pretty open standard. I use a different media player because it doesn't have all the borders around the viewing window, and MS doesn't stop me from doing that, so what's your point?
They are not forcing anything on me, just giving me something to use in case I don't have the time or bandwidth to download something else.
Sir have you tried buying a new car without AC? Pretty hard to find. How about a heater, guess we should leave that out, it's not a necessity to the car. Oh and the other three seats, they don't come with it, you can get them for free but they come as un cut parts and you need special plans (aka compiler) to put them together before use.
My car came with a stere, not an MP3 deck, a stereo and CD player. The basics, like media player is, basic.
You don't pay for Media Player, you can download it for free.
you don't pay extra for IE either. They are little freebies that come so you can use your computer right off the bat. Now if IE wasn't bundled, how would I get to the internet? Am I just supposed to have a Mozilla disk laying around, wouldn't I need the basic, IE, to get to where I need to to download these other programs.
Many engines are designed to run only with the AC pully there. Try finding the right serpentine belt for the car if you pull out the AC unit.
What if the user doesn't have broadband? And has to use a modem and wait 8 billion years to download the extra apps. I like an out of the box Operating System, so that I can use my computer imediately and then refine it later. Internet Explorer is a good explorer, I have used Mozilla, and the gigantic beast known as Netscape and I wasn't impressed. I am an intelligent computer user, who uses linux to run my home made router, and I still make the decision to run XP, so all the comments about people only using windows because they don't have another choice, is bullshit. Oh and I love playing Halo on my PC, try that with your linux box.
I am sure you don't work for Microsoft, they only hire the best, I have seen them at our job fairs and if you have anything less than a 4.0 and your anything less than an amazing programmer, they don't hire you. And if you were all the above things, you wouldn't have had to work for Wendy's. I never had a fast food job and I started working at 16
Once again, I don't even believe you actually own your own company, more than likeley you are desktop support somewhere, but that aside doing what's best for the share holder is not what fueled Enron. You DOLT. Just the opposite actually the executives were doing what was best for them, and stealing from the company. Bill Gates doesn't have this problem, his corporation is making real profit and is a benefit to those who own stock in it.
The book "the postman" by Pat Frank is a poor example of what I believe in. Seeing as how I don't believe in just survival, I believe in the total and complete aquisition of power. For isntance, why are Japanese corporation so strong, and efficient, because they don't have to worry about rediculous anti-trust law suits. If you want to talk about monopolys take a look at Yamaha and Hitachi, You'd be suprised to find there are only a couple of other companies throughout Japan, Yamaha and Hitachi own damn near everything.
Also, Why am I either a troll or an idiot? Because I don't share your views on Microsoft. Because I am not bitching about Bill Gates, based on no facts whatsoever. I have been asking for links to articles to back up opinions with facts, but I have seen none. Actually one guy just said, "search google". So he obviously viewed an article by a objective source and then stated facts.
Hope your "company" is doing well, more than likely you work on your friends and other peoples computers and that's how you call yourself a consultant.
Your Dream Job, computer programmer, so your doing about as well as most of the Sophomores at my school, Kettering, who are doing Co-ops.
Also, how come everytime someone leaves us with some message about how good their doing, they just tell us, the job their doing, but not where? It makes everything sound like bullshit. For instance, I know my job gets boring during the day, hence my ability to post on slashdot, when I get ahead of the game.
I have found that in all aspects I claim, I know more than the employer does about the product. Also claiming experience does not mean your claiming you know every answer off the top of your head. Some careful dodging in a stupid interview, will result in no problems.
Speaking of honesty, your friend took home a box of resumes filled with peoples personal information, given to his EMPLOYER, and then shared this information with you. And now your trying to talk to me from a position of integrity.
There are other Metrics, consumer confidence, and the effect there in on profit. If doing something bad, causes people not to buy your product in numbers that undoes the benefit of doing that bad thing, than no you shouldn't do it.
But most consumers don't care, that's why SUV sales go up even though it seems like everyone cares about the evironment. If the consumer doesn't care, I don't care. What's the name of your company, there in the UK? Is it making much money?
Actually, lie all you want, because most hiring processes ask for skills that will never be used in the job your applying for, and therefor, it won't really matter.
For instance all the companies looking for 10 years of experience in the full gambit, for a basic desktop support position that could be filled by most high school nerds.
Yes and once again an irational statement backed up with wonderful amounts of references and data. But if Anonymous coward says it, I guess we should just take his word for it.
I don't know how to earn how to read. Anyhow, here is my thing, superior, describes Bill Gates's business, eminent and illustrious as well. He fits noble well. Here is my other thing.
stealing technology, unjustly crushing competitors with marketing might, and the like
Give examples of this, and not just hearsay, show me how he legally stole anything. Tell me how he unjustly crushed competitors. Are you saying he used the money his business earned to try and ensure his business would make more money? Oh goodness me, that almost sounds like a definition of good business.
What, praytell, is 'immoral' to you? Having an independent mind? Not obeying the authorities? What?
Not obeying the authorities is a question of time and reason, Having an independent mind, nope not immoral. What's your point?
Yes it is good business if the cost of the recall is more than the cost of the lawsuits, and the bad publicity. I know you don't own your own business, because it would have already gone under if you carried on with that view point. It's not a matter of old fashioned or unpopular, I am sure these people, including myself, look in the mirror every morning and feel great about themselves. Just because your morals don't allow you to be a good businessman, doesn't mean mine don't. Their is no such thing as correct morals, and just because mine, or corporate Americas don't fit yours that doesn't mean they are wrong.
The trees and bunnies are over there, I guess someone has to hug them, and your that someone.
LOL, paultry amount? He nearly gives away half a billion just to the Boy Scouts alone. Also your confusing nobility with chivalry or something all warm and fuzzy. And I believe Windows XP was better than 2000 and that 2000 was better than 98. I would say I am very impressed with the quality and speed of an XP system.
I use Linux at work, and build Linux machines on occassion for people to cheap to buy a license for XP, and it's my experience that video drivers are poorly supported, sound drivers are difficult to find, and setting them up in a 5.1 configuration is annoying. Also, I find the GUI for Linux to look child like, and very shareware.
What did Bill gates do that was so immoral, tell me and back it up with sources. Fan boy
Hey buddy, I bet you think GM, Ford and other car companies should do the same. I mean he owns a company, out to make profit. A company doesn't owe anything to it's customers, or the world. It owes only to its stock holders. And that is it.Companies are around to make profit. Not to make you happy. And if you don't like them use a different product, anyone in the world can use linux over windows if they choose to make the effort, if linux can't get contracts with Dell and the other big names, that is their problem, Microsoft shouldn't have to bend over backwards to help them take over their market.
Hey, Linux fan boy. If he ignored consumer demands, than why do I use Windows XP at home. I use linux at work, and guess what, I don't like it, I think it is over rated, I think it is poorly set up for home use, and I don't like having to bust my ass to find programs I need and run them.
Please refer me via links or whatever to these court cases in which microsoft lost. Because they weren't split up like Ma Bell, so what exactly happened to them. And how can they be a monopoly when apple, linux, unix all exist.
Ok, tell me what Bill Gates has been convicted of in criminal court. Now tell me what he has been convicted of in Civil court. Don't tell me suits brought against him. Tell me convictions, because I can bring a suit against Playboy for making me too horny, but that doesn't mean I am going to win, or that Playboy did anything wrong.
Quit your bitching, Bill gates is probably a better man than you, and by the standards of Knight Hood, he definitely ranks up there with what has been knighted in the past, using intelligence and guile to achieve wealth and power, has always been the definition of Nobility, so try not being such a liberal baby for a minute and just accept, he's doing better than you, and no one gave it to him.
yes because I can go and buy the paper I would need to even come close to making the feel of a dollar bill, but more importantly, what about for birthdays when I take 100 dollar bills then super impose my ass on the bill and give it to people in cards. I want to still keep doing that, the joke never gets old, the person sees an excellent 100$ bill pulls it fully out of the card and sees my ass with full fruit basket, it's beautiful.
Either way, they created an extrordinary high priced processor, so they would have a processor in that gap. Who cares about that small aspect of what I said, I hate writing here sometimes because it seems people are here just to find a small aspect, a single sentence they can prove wrong, and create a feeling of intelligence for themselves.
The point of my statement was that things they're doing, like memory on the processor and such is in preperation for where computers will eventaully go, which is multi proc system in the home.
Personally I didn't think Final Fantasy or Titan A.E. were boring. I just think there is a stigmatism on what most people would call anime. People have grouped all anime movies together and talk about them as one genre, which I think is as absurd as putting The Boondock Saints and Fried Green Tomatoes in the same category because they were both made with live people and cameras.
Animation is an excellent way to make a movie. You don't have actors bitching about a closeup, you don't have to hire expensive pretty boys to fill roles and you can show anything in an Anime movie, no matter how dangerous, or impossible, in can be brought to you through animation.
Princess Monoke, not a childrens theme
Akira, definitely not for children
Vampire Hunter D
These were all pretty good titles, and I am sure Akira did extremely well on DVD.

And then get no blue screen of death, poor driver support, and non dolby digital audio. Fantastic, sign me up.
