2. eye candy sells, that fact that you don't get that is what's wrong with linux
3. KDE is bloated as hell - that's what overcomplication is. GNOME is also bloated IMHO, so many packages and dependancies it's insane. it also lacks modern features like a consistent clipboard.
time to pass the crack pipe son. Yes MS is shrinking, just like the world economy. linux has made in roads in some markets, but it's completely dwarfed by MS's market share and probably will be for the forseeable future.
instead of boasting you've toppled MS, try going back to fixing the numerous issues with linux software that keep it off the desktop.
ALL your primary manufacturing industries are hi energy. less people buying their products means they will go belly up or have to cut back on RND, meaning slower progress on lower power units. your cutting your nose off just to spite your own face.
When anyone annouces government taxes as the answer you need too apply this primary filter - given a resonible amount of time can industry solve this itself? considering the huge advances in low power electronics in the last 20 years alone, i'd say the answer in this case is YES.
actually MS has a lot of smart people producing some great products. don't let the/. propagander colour your vision. sql server,.NET and windows 2003 are really good products. like all mega corps your going to have more than a few idiots.
there is no freaking way mousing is faster.need to use undo? i've hit alt+z before you even grabbed the mouse. the ONLY way they could have come up with that is to purposefully gamed the results, such as giving subjects apps with unknown shortcut keys. given it's apple i wouldn't be surprised at all.
agreed 100%. until some serious pound me in the ass prison time is handed out to more than a few of these guys, it won't stop. better coordination with isp's is also the answer here, once these virus/spam sites are identified, for fucks sake blacklist them. this simple act would stop 100,000's of infected pc's from giving up information making the whole venture less profitable.
actually if done properly you can write some really nice applications in excel using VBA. you have to know it's limitations of course, but it has the advantages of a familar toll set and flexability.
nice now they just need to build one for every fucking street in my city alone.
the big factories are more efficent for a start, but the big joke is that they will need to burn oil to move the truck around. oh noes the evil CO2's will get us.
rubbish. i own my own property and have known a few people to inherit estates and nothing of the sort has been mentioned even as a formality. i say your talking out your arse good sir.
what like the apples they sell? you people really need to get over the super size me crap, it was a stunt nothing more. you can eat as healthy at mcdonalds as you can anywhere now days.
"Especially when the alternative is free and contains no lawsuit exposure"
bullshit. there's no such thing as no lawsuit exposure. hell if anything SAMBA is hellish risky in comparison since you use it at your own risk and there is no way of knowing what submarine patent trolling asshole might popup eg. SCO. And it's pretty far fetched to claim MS is going to sue if you over deploy (i'd like to see documented example of it) most likely.. they will make you buy the extra licenses. the evil bastards.
the danger with that, is he might not know the in's and out's of washington and be ineffective. the best managers i've ever had were non techincal (also the worst where as well), he might not be willing to listen to other points of view either - you just have to look on/. to see how unwilling the science/geek types are to consider other peoples opinions as having some merit.
the thing i hate about these nonsense genetic claims, is that there is a 100% probability you are going to die of something. so claiming 60% of people will die of heart disease (because heart failure and cancer are what take out most of our population) is like pronouncing you have discovered people grow old and die. what would be more accurate, but you will never see them do it, is to tell us who will die a PREMATURE death due to heart disease. the reason they won't do it is there is far more to what kills you than genetics and admitting as much might see grant money going else where.

yet another epic fail.

ppft enterprise class my arse. start spending more than $800 per drive then talk to me about enterprise.

until he takes the oath, he isn't president. why on earth would you want a president who hasn't taken an oath swearing his allegiance to the country?

i'm not a fan of the carbon is evil mindset, but producing more power while having to burn less instantly reduces emissions, genius.

yeah right i mention kde and the gnome zealots mod me flamebait.
Qt far far FAR better tools for gui creation. why people bother with gnome i don't know.

it's a waste when a proper GUI would do the job.
because everyone should waste hours learning config files or command switches FOOL!
mark my words, it'll have bugs which will result in 1000's of "RTFM n00b" or "it's ms's protocol that sucks" responses.

well if you approached it using statistics rather than reality, yes.
feel free to start with yourself moron.
