...produced on 200 mm wafers; the new APM 3.0 using 300 mm wafers...
When I was in college mm stood for millimeter, which would mean we're talking about 8-inch wafers now, and 12-inch wafers with the new APM (rounded to nearest inch). Am I misunderstanding the mm abbreviation, or was this mis-typed in the article and supposed to be something else?
without MS you have no web/html like we have today
what, MS developed today's web/html? I thought Al Gore invented it! The only 2 things that we can credit MS with that we can't credit other people with are (1)a large percentage of the POPULARITY of the web (getting computers into homes) and (2)the freakish amount of broken html on the web. Don't dish out credit for existence to MS. xml wouldn't get any attention if it wasn't "interwebby"
And this is a credit to MS's proprietary standing how? this whole XML thing is a passing phase without MS
Then let it die in honor of better standards. $diety forbid they avoid allowing open standards to stifle the innovation of their bazillion programmers with their bazillion dollars budgets.
(1)How do you figure that open standards would stifle innovation?
(2)If anyone's got a bazillion programmers it's not MS, it's the collective REST OF THE WORLD! Give them access and watch what all they come up with. It might just be something as cool as, oh, the web?...something as innovative as, oh, computers?...something as impressive as, oh, cooperation? None of these things are the result of a limited group of innovaters sealing themselves off. Why would the next wave of awesome innovation come from anywhere other than where it's come from before - openly communicating and sharing groups of people!
I knew that. Just had a brain fart, and couldn't go back to switch it. Thanks for responding with informative respect rather than just being a smart-ass like certain other people.
So, once I get my mother-in-law to go into the building, how do I get the whole thing back into the bag?

The baby boomers grew up children of the military. They were taught through their society to respect the people with military style - in short, they learned to take orders from order givers. Gen-X has grown up as the first EVER American generation to (generally) not have a military dad. They're the first ones to actually grow up in an American society focused infinitely more on technological explosions than in physical ones. They've learned to respond to different stimuli, to respect different authority, to weight different values.
I don't think this is necessarily good or bad. I do think it deserves consideration as Gen-X starts to move into power positions in companies who have until now been run primarily by Boomers.
I think this book takes a look at some of the possible ways that people from the different mindsets would best perform in a shared environment. It's not trying to de-value any of the foundations of good business practice (communication, integrity, ethics) it's just trying to add to the aresenal available to someone willing to try to improve workplace relations between two very important, very talented, and (in some ways) very different groups of workers.
Love it or hate it, I think it's fairly ostrich-like to deny that generations differ.
I can understand the original.com confusion, but I thought that saying.org would cause a GPF was obviously sarcastic, especially with the (feel the love) comment. I find it truly humorous that someone went to the trouble of checking my accuracy. lol.
I'll remember to not make ANY sarcastic comments on/.
Thanks for trying it out though in a buncha browsers, thereby admitting that you're running
Windows yourself.
Oh damnit, there I went with the sarcasm again.
This I know, but if you try to type _anything_.ORG in Windows you're likely to get a General Protection Fault so they'd have to use the.com derivative (feel the love). The.com was actually intentional, but I didn't explain myself in the post for the sake of comic timing. "www." isn't included in slashdot.org either, but I put it in there too, also for the sake of what I thought most people would consider the joke.
Start pointing out that computers are like electricity a century ago - already becoming an irrefutable and BASIC building block of life on this planet. We're not all electrical engineers, nor should we be... but we are all well familiar with the day-to-day uses of electricity, and are able to interact with it in a VERY comfortable way. We don't flip light switches with a 10' stick and resign ourself to living in the dark when nothing happens. My 3 year old neice knows that when the coffee maker and microwave turn on at the same time it turns the lights out, and we have to go to the garage and open the grey box to get them back on. The first step is to get people comfortable with the options and operations of computers, not just finding the "e" on the screen and typing in your favourite pr0n site. Once people start getting comfortable with what's actually happening when they click the mouse button, they'll get interested in deciding for themselves what happens when they click the mouse button. THAT's where we're going to increase societal comfort with IT - through the day-to-day increase of familiarity with the technology, and therefore the elimination of the people who use "geek" to mean "person who makes me feel stupid".

According to the article somewhere around 500 lbs actually. Not bad at all!

But when were those photos of BG posted to the www? I've got photos of my great grandparents from 18xx but they weren't on the web before 1992.
