  4. Wintel monopoly on Does A Pentium 4 Need A Weapons License? · · Score: 1

    Good way to break the Wintel monopoly. In the final release they will probably classify Microsoft XP and Server 2003 as WMDs.

  5. Re:I love this: on Father of DVD Gets Bitter Reward · · Score: 1

    Your sig: I mean when I had that realization, I kicked myself and said what an idiot I had been all these years.

    When I hear comments like - "Oh search the google with these keywords" when I need to make a presentation, I feel sad.

    It is 'smarter' to be a swipe than a thinker now. Because that is faster.

  6. hidden registry entry on WinXP SP2 Sacrifices Compatibility for Security · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Microsoft's SOP for merger "talks" on What Might Have Been: Microsoft Almost Bought SAP · · Score: 1

    Yeah and the guys came back confused this time. Even SAP did not know who their key people were. So confused they have a Peoplesoft HR system for backup which fails 3 times an afternnon.

  10. Registry - root cause of instability on A Former Microsoftie Forecasts Microsoft Doom · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This ugly piece of data structure - without a decent failover strategy is the root cause of most windows problems.

    Even the current XP based restore point creation does nothing better.

    The /etc structure should be emulated and config info should be left to flat file structures.

    IIS 6.0 did that by abandoning all registry settings and moved to an XML file structure - Everything actually. DotNet has moved in that direction too.

    Hopefully Longhorn will have a /etc/config folder.

  13. Outsourced on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 1

    Ask her to give up. Senior citizen programming has already been outsourced to Elbonia where moms who are half as bored as yours do programming.

  14. Re:It has become the best studio because... on Welcome To Planet Pixar · · Score: 1

    To every Eisner apologist

    1. Eisner & co declined LOTR's production, which first came to disney, claiming that it is not a viable project. There 3 billion of lost revenue

    2. Eisner threw out the production of CSI Miami, which happily took it to CBS. CBS now beats NBC ratings every week. CSI has three more spinoffs and a billion dollar machine now.

    3. Eisner broke up with Pixar.

    You can bleat the success of Lion King - but for how long.

    Stick a camcorder in front of the TV and ask everybody to shut up for a while. Problem solved.

  16. MVS 360 to Z/OS on Kill Bill, IBM vs Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Did you know that the system 360 on the mainframe is an open architecture. That SNA, VTAM, FEP and the entire code base on the mainframe could be licensed. That Siemens, Amdhal and fujitsu built and sold mainframes that ran the IBM OS.
