Novozymes from Denmark also develops these enzymes. Funny thing is the enzymes are first sold to liquor companies because they help them to get "cleaner" booze out of their raw materials. As price is much less an issue in that industry, the whiskey-boys end up paying for a large part of the devellopment costs. So think about it during your next tequila slammer: you are paving the way to a clean environment!
Without reading the article, we are talking orders of magnitude here. x 1000 for new technologies, after that x 8 for more platters. I don't see you build a (cheap) HD with 100.000 platters in...
Doctors won't get money from the Pharma-boys, but you can organise a free medical conference in northern London, or you can do it on Crete. Alow for the wife to tag along...
Interesting development is when the government allows / orders the pharmacist to replace 'label's by a generic equivalents.
If you count 100 Watts for one of these athlons, you end up with 1025280 kWh of electrical power going in this. Even in Canada, where power is cheap (4.72/kWh) you get a total cost of 48393,216 $ CAN in power consumption alone. Kind of puts things in perspective.
You can bet that when your PC is on every blacklist on this planet, your employer will look for another sucker. It is at this point your friends start telling you they never received that mail you sent them...
I once considered to run my own server. Then calculated power consumption of a PC left 24/7. Dropped the idea immediately. For you Yankees, power is cheap. But here in the ol' countries, that is quite some euro's out of the window. I don't do that much more with a PC then 8 years ago. Why does it have to use 3 times as much power?
But does it take the WMD's?

Especially those who have done the most harm to the USA in the last 50 years? What was it again? Nukes? Anthrax? Laser guided super bombs? Oh no, that's right...Stanley knives!
A government should aso not allow it's entire IT infrastructure to be remote controlled from a foreign nation. A state monopoly is good when it achieves something private companies can not handle, or when you talk about critical things with few/no alternatives(e.g. water supply). (Replacing)Windows comes pretty close to both descriptions.
They can tell the FSF to go **** itself, but they would shoot themselves in the foot. Keeping their source closed would lead to a fork, meaning they would gradually start losing compatibility. All those free and fresh updates available at SF and kernel.org would gradually grow more and more incompatible.
I guess a student posing behind the picture of a sexy girl could attact enough "love" to pay for his salary, the models photo-shoot, and leave some profit for the company...
Popquiz: you are a ruthless dictator, with a large family asking for your support. Do you leave this whole IT -thing to te techies, or do you take a huge bribe from Microsoft for imposing Windows at your local university?
My own parents have known hunger (WOII). Civilisation tends to have its ups and downs. Who sais we will be capable of reacting at the particular time when this thing decides to come down? And, knowing our dear politicians, I don't think anybody is going to spend a million $$$ before it comes down...
I do a lot in VB and that is not because I like the language, but because it has such a good IDE (read intellisense). If I had to program VB in Notepad/Emacs/ whatever, I would slow down by at least 50%, probably 75. You can never convince me that this new language will deliver a better productivity gain then designing a Python IDE which knows all your classes and does auto-complete.
Not goin' to be easy. Here in Denmark, when the grid went down last year, all the windmills came to a standstill. As long as you work with AC, you need someone to set the frequency and the phase. Switchin the whole damn thing to DC would make it easier, but that is one hell of an investment.
'scuse me? The problem is not that "people choose windows", the problem is that people who choose Windows also get a truckload of useless crap down their throats. If you have more than 95% market share, you have a monopoly. Fine, maybe you're just damn good. But if you use that monopoly to break into different markets, you break the law. Why was Unix not born as a shrinkwrapped product? Because Bell had a monopoly (phones) and was by law forbidden to break into a different market (software).
The application cannot open or manipulate attachments, such as Adobe Acrobat.PDF files.
RTFA, it will require a plugin in Outlook which basically will export your email to a flat ascii file which can be read by the BIOS. Not exactly the invention of the century, but I guess reasonably practical. If they make the fileformat open, you can program a linux version!!
As a user who has to deal every day with importing 1.23 in an excel sheet which expects 1,23, I can tell you we have a long way to go. How about checking the 100 most used apps and make a list of all items on the menu(s)? Remove doubles and synonims. Build it into a GUI toolkit so menu points can appear in a local language without extra effort from the coders... Something you can do NOW: when transforming floats into strings (clipboard, CSV) use the format "000000E+00". No decimal separator, imports correctly into every spreadsheed on the fucking planet!!!
Most posts go on about copyright protection, but I don't see an answer to the question. If I wanted to develop an closed OS like XP by hiring programmers, how much would it cost me? And how much does MS make on Windows every year?
Software for process control in the pharmaceutical industry is already regulated. It is known as "CFR part 11" and if your software doesn't complies, you can forget selling it anywear near the pharma businness.

does it do DOT NET?????
Seems like we just reduced the server to sawdust...
But at -273, your electrons come to a standstill. How are you going to get those transistors pumpin', heh?

So that is you who is sending me all these "I have your password" emails?
