Your posts has two statements. Each might be correct, but adding the two statements together yields a logical error in that the intersection of sets (A:a lot of people) and (B:a lot of people) is null in the specific case cited.
You gotta be quick. They're reading this page and fixing stuff while we make fun of them. That keyboard must be humming about now.
Which is kind of a strange way to do website security, if you think about it. All of that information is probably still available in the Google cache, or at least on the wayback machine.
If you already have Exchange licenses, you already have Exchange licenses.
Until the next version step. Exchange isn't a sunk cost. It's effectively a subscribed expense.
You should consider this when computing TCO.
BTW, TCO is an acronym for Total Cost of Ownership. Because of planned - and scheduled - obsolescense, the term 'ownership' and also TCO does not apply to products from this vendor.
Ending? There is no ending. There's no such thing as a permanent law. If it were possible for Congress to arrive at such a thing we'd have no further need for lawmakers, would we?

AMD announced the end of design for Geode products
So it's over. I have a huge rack of stuff like this I keep around for its general utility or because it's irreplaceable. You just can't get Parallax USB servo controllers any more [sigh]. But once they say they're done advancing the design, it's no longer interesting from a new developments point of view. It's abandoned. Eventually somebody will come out with a design that has some similar features plus a few new and interesting ones. Sales will dwindle and they'll wind up on the remainders rack at shops like All Electronics, but only now and then. And then they're gone.
3 1/2" floppies were Sony? That's funny. I though that was IBM. Do you have a citation for that?
Stuff they partner with other people like CD-ROM, DVD, SP/DIF (Philips) miniDV (JVC, Panasonic and others) only prove my point because they relinquish control in the partnership and are unable to hose it up. Philips has excellent timing.
Digital8? Licensed by Hitachi for a little while on a few models, otherwise and currently yet another Sony-only medium. Just like MiniDisc, MemoryStick, UniversalMediaDisc [sic] and many others. Their long history of failed proprietary media is the main reason I won't buy their equipment. A shame, too. Their engineering and build quality is first rate.
But I already have too many things that don't plug into my other things. Not looking for any more like that, ever.
Yeah, except for the fact that they connect to something with remote desktop.
Did you know that with a minimal thin client build or even one that you PXE boot from not only is no action required by the end user to connect to the remote desktop, but it's also several times faster than booting a Windows PC?
You can run Windows in a VM under Linux KVM already. With over 100 virtual desktops per core you can serve a city's worth of Windows virtual desktops (about 100k) out of one rack of HP blade servers on a Linux cluster, with proper management and decent performance for everybody. You still need thin clients, but the kind of hardware required for that is so minimal people are paying to have it hauled away.
You can do the same thing with Linux virtual desktops too, without the hassle of malware.
This is why Sony put DVD drives in the PS2 and Blu-Ray in the PS3, and spent tons of money pushing Blu-Ray on everyone: if they can get their stuff to be "the standard", then they stand to make a mint. They've also managed this with certain other technology (Beta, for instance, survived quite well in the TV production industry where quality mattered more than relative price).
And this is why Sony technologies almost never win in the marketplace. That, and their amazing sense of timing. As your example shows, this isn't how you win in the marketplace. Even BluRay is struggling to find its takeoff point before it's made obsolete by flash media, and they bribed the HD-DVD out of the market. They make money, but this strategy to exploit the customer just doesn't work any more for Sony - if it ever did. There are just too many different ways to do everything.
Which of course makes the whole patent idea silly.
There are some ARM products in the pipeline though... This may be a strategy to cap their high end, or at least fill the hole.
Or maybe like I said, it is about enabling us to do stuff because the hardware is capable and helping us explore the potentials of new technologies is part of their new perspective. That is what the CEO said, and I believe him.
Nice save, not. He did a Palin maneuver. Give it up. It's OK. He's the vice president. It's an indoor job with no heavy lifting. At least he waited until after the election.
The mission of VP is to appear so completely stupid or insane that noone in their right mind would seek your elevation to Commander in Chief. He's doing fine converting his image from platform bulwark to insurance policy.
Should the unfortunate occur though, I would look first at the American business interests (MPAA, RIAA, BSA) who stand to gain from his ascension.
With about a million years of human history we've proven that the one social system that scales is tyranny. Good luck with your feeble "experiments," noble and otherwise. You'll find they devolve into tyranny no matter what you do.
But if you're not interested in the social experiment the answer is simple: get yours and reproduce as fast as you can. Ultimately Darwin wins out even over tyranny.
The President is appointing the legal staff of the BSA and RIAA to the top law enforcement positions in the land, and the MPAA has initiated the revolving door maneuver with Assistant Attorney General John Malcolm. It seems to me that the more things change the more they remain the same. What we've done is change who our government is sold out to.
Apparently with the change of administrations imaginary property has become the new military industrial complex because of a focus shift from foreign to domestic policy, in accordance with the party predilection. We're pulling out of wars with other people and engaging ourselves. Next step: disarm the victim. Yay! I can't wait to see how this turns out. I would rather we engaged foreign people if we have to fight at all, but my true preference would be to relax and let stuff sort itself out.

While we laugh at him some poor dumb web admin in Colorado is working through the night to fix this. The pages are changing while we comment on them.
At this point I actually think he's using this page for tips on how to fix this.
It's sad and funny on so... many levels.

That may be the most astute error message I've ever read.

Have you tried DBAN? Works great for me.

A compelling feature to drag people away from XP.
Now only if it included a utility to uninstall Windows...

Plus licensing. You are paying for licensing, right?
Patents are intended to promote progress, and patent law as implemented performs the opposite function. We might as well start over from zero.

This is where I get to call you a pansy for not standing up for yourself and get away with it because it's on topic.
You don't even need a real tyrant to muzzle you -- you'll settle for an imaginary one.
I wonder what a prospective employer might think of the value of your input after that -- at least one worth working for.
If AMD has abandoned the line.

We are just now remembering that there are a multitude of applications where watts matter.
It's nice that Intel wants to help in this field also.
Since this is something you know about, why not fix the page? It's a wiki. Just click [edit] and have at it.
