MSFT?? Hell even IBM there are more monopolies in the computer industry than ANY other industry. Why becuase a select few force control on the rest.
The simple solution would of been the break up of Microsoft a few years ago. two-three companies would of created compition and add features and security by NOW. Unlike the Current XP SP2 which has holes in it, and it's the most secure version of windows to date.
Now do i want to see FCC trying to control the hardware industry? not really as there is lots of competition there and low prices as a result. The software industry is dominated by one company that tries to control everything. The only two saving idea's is that they screw up eveything they don't control, and once they control an area they stop workig on it.
Well you might be bright, but Scrubbed in that form is common amoung the military.
When you scrub a mission you have cancled it for the day. I think it refers to scrubbing the mission planning board, usally a white board or chalk board.
Once the board is scrubbed clean, you don't know where you are going.
MSFT isn't able to due this as often though. Everytime they do people yell at MSFT for breaking things. Look at SP2 i would say the majority of XP machines still haven't upgraded to it, because of the apps it breaks.
MSFT is begining to be outflanked. What's funny is that they are outflanking themselves, as often as anyone else is.
The Matrix 2 did have one good point, People need choice, even if they don't accept it they still need it. Gates doesn't like choice.
Yoiu have a slightly more automated version of what I ahve been doing for years. The day i realized Mozilla uses a plain HTMl file for it's bookmarks made me happy. I simply use one main browser and up load my bookmarks as I need to.
Well traveling without a computer, I can just find web access and access my bookmarks quite easily.
Actually I prefer John Stewart for political news. At least you can tell when he is strentching the truth a bit for entertainment, and when he is actually serious.
I wouldn't go quite that far. But Bush and other old time republicans have been wanting to "admend" the constitution for years now. ANY admendment that they do would probally revoke the term limits they put into place, so Bush can stay around longer.
>>Are we reading what the ancient Hebrews understood, or merely the best translation into the written word that their language allowed.
It's actually this thought that I wonder most about. The ancient hebrews wrote down what they saw, and passed it on as best they could. They wouldn't understand as much as even an observer from today.
If you Read the article they say that if the engine does a castatrophic failure, the amount of nuclear material released is on the order of a few curries.
Unlike say the millions of curries now currently in storage as waste.

Microsoft as long as they didn't change the stack could use it in their kernel without releasing the full kernel code. As the Stack wouldn't be a derivative of the whole kernel. If MSFT changed the code for optimizing that would have to be released.
Now to be really nice MSFT might have to make available upon request(not even a download, but emailed) an LGPL style wrapper, to wrap around the stack for connections into their kernel. But as long as they adjust the EULA to say the Stack comes from GPL software to get the source code email this person they are legal.
MSFT can be in complaince with the GPL and still incorpriate GPL code. It just needs to be done intelligently.
What's worse virus writers can reuse old code, or that MSFT doesn't really fix the holes, but just puts another piece of wallpaper up to keep out the rain & snow.
MSVDM only works if you run XP. With the way viruses attack XP and the performace slow downs why would you want to?
Yes there are performace issues with XP hom and Professional. My roommates XP Pro box can't play games while running winamp in the backgourd. The soun breaks down. While I can. The main differnce between machines? He has 512 megs MORE ram than I do. Everything else is the same cookie cutter Dell deal.
Mandrake went through bankrupcty and is still going, which means they have to have something for income.
IBM is in the even better position not to rely on Open Source for it's products but as an option to and enhance their lines.
And Since it's Open Source if IBM finds a probelm they can fix it and publish back the changes so it won't happen elsewhere. That's the beauty of Open Source.

You aren't smart enough to figure that out on your own? I routinely broke into my parents house when I forgot my keys.
I would get home realize my mistake, walk down the street to my brother's babysitter's house, borrow her phone, call my mother, ask to borrow a few tools, open a door(I am not saying which), walk through the house get my keys, put the dog on her leash and walk the dog and return what I borrowed.
Did that a couple dozen times through out high school. Also note that I never left a trace of how I did it. One door was just easy to open.
I didn't need anybody to tell me how, I was smart enough to figure it out myself. Also note opening windows from the outside was nearly impossible as they were casement windows. Damn gearing.

I wonder if this includes Timeline?? Since Msft settled that and left MS SQL developers out in the cold.
Timeline could get some more moeny from MSFT this way.
Unless I missed it where MSFT actually took care of timeline and developers for MS SQL.

How bad are these interfaces??
It should be really simple.
on Screen Pick a person to vote for President.
Under that Pictures of each canidate, and the parties that support them.
You select one and press the vote button at the bottom, It then verifies you want that canidate, yes / no with no going back.
repeat for each election.
If it is any more complicated than that the system is wrong. The computers themselves shouldn't crash. Crashes are signs of bad programing.
I know people who can use Palms and Graffitti, but don't know how to use a computer. Why Because the interfaces are to much.

>>Rename" becomes "mv" and so on.
Close.
mv = Move. to move files.
when you move files by changeing the name and not the directory you rename them.
>>Breaking your wordprocessing format will force your users to upgrade
That's why if the Open Office format becomes a standard MSFT is screwed.
