My post was not intended to say that SSO was exactly what the X-15 project was ( read it, quite the opposite ), nor was it intended to say that *everything* from the X-15 project was open. Nor was it intended to say that there was a straight inheritence from the X-15 to SSO.
The SSO project is not the bleeding edge of aerospace. Why? In part, because the X-15 project lead the way. It was bleeding edge. At its time.
The CEO ought to be thinking of how to increase profits, that is true. But not _any_ way. Enron, WorldCom, SCO ring any bells? If the way compromises the long term of the company he/she/it should *not* do it.
"'Strong and stable business'? What do I care, I just pocketed 10 million bucks!". I dont know about the rest of you, but in my mind, the CEO's job is to make a Strong and long term Stable and profitable business. The kind of behaviour you describe, just look after right here and right now, and screw everything after and everyone else, is basically the intellectual functioning level that my dogs exhibit.
Marx may well have predicted the mobility of capital, but he obviously did not like what he saw.
Not so much that the cheated on taxes. More that they should either stay out of local politics, or, if they are going to be critical and put their nose in, that they should not be hypo-critical and keep the tax revenue here.
There is nothing ( nothing ) about what you said were benefits that could not have been done without IE being integrated. By integrated, the original post was talking about the intermingling of OS land with a user application.
Time to display window on my machine, firefox was a touch faster than IE. ( Firefox 0.9, IE 6.0 )
Unscientific as the day is long, so I did it multiple times ( data is the plural of anecdote, right:-)
I think it will be a bit of status symbol, but I can forsee, just on SIS alone, a considerable number of flights per affording person. It will probably take several flights to acheive this status, and I forsee a line of couples heading to the bathrooms or other private areas as soon as they can.
Disguise the solar panel as the top and sides of the phone booth. Or would that not give enough power? I would think even if it didnt give quite enough power, it might help the battery longevity. But what do I know?:-)
It might make sense for bicycle manufacturers to include helmets and pads to protect you from injuries caused by using their product. Since this isn't the case one most purchase third party protections. It may not be fair, just the way things are.
0, there is not enough profit in the sale of your average bicycle to support this.
1, Helmets and pads are a personal choice, fit and image being very important. The mfgr should not get into that, I think.
Ford issuing an advanced notice to it's fleet customers so they can prep for the downtime.
Everyone gets the recall work done at the same time, but the fleet customers need a heads up so they can schedule things to minimize the impact to themselves ( and their customers ).
Now, dont get me wrong, I dislike much of MS's business practices as much or more than most. I dont see this as a legitimate item to throw stones at them about.
I have a dog that barks, but my neighbors dont mind. They like the deterence. I did go to them and talk about it when we moved in, and I talk to them from time to time to see if they have moved on the issue. Sounds like your nieghbor isnt as thoughtfull about the subject, but why make the dog pay? Talk to the neighbor. Call animal control. Call the police. Dont kill the dog.
1a, turn down the stereo near the endpoints of your destination, if you stereo is especially loud. Why advertize?
On the club, this is second hand, but I have been advised by a friend of mine that ran with a rough crowd that the club is very easy to get off.
On the removable face plate, A: know thyself, will you will lose that face plate? If so, dont get one. Conversly, will you remember each and every time to remove it? At home, at work, everywhere?
I think you have oversimplified history considerably.
Why was there enemity between the US and USSR? Some of that can be pointed at your Winston Churchill, I am sure. Yes, Stalin was nutty as the day was long. Would you have prefered to try to stand alone against the USSR?
Oh, lest I forget, who is it that sold some needed turbo-jet technology to Russia? The Nene copy ( license built ) turbo-jet that powered the Mig-15 ( used to shoot down American pilots in the Korean war ).
America could have taken it's marbles and gone home after WWII. But we didnt because it would have been wrong to leave Britain and much of Europe under a red flag. It cost us lives and money to do so.
In my view, admitedly biased, Europe painted a big red target on the US, and we accepted that in order to keep more of Europe free than had aready disappeared into USSR occupied zones.
Course, I am just an American, therefore auto-stupid and auto-wrong.
You know, I wanted to ask the same question. A few years back, I had pretty much read out everything in SF I could get my hands on. These days, I dont have the time to do so, so I was a bit afraid to chime in with this. Kudos to you for doing so, in my opinion. And for the other posters to this, I honestly dont see William Gibson as the end all or be all of SF. Please, dont get the idea that I am knocking either of these guys. I just have a hard time buying the "legendary" part. Good? OK. Legendary? No, at least not yet.
Perhaps it is thought that oracle and peoplesoft individualy will be subject to defeat in detail, where the combined companies would be able to put up more of a fight.

One for each day of the week. Different colors.
Sold when the ashtray gets full.
Ought not have as it's core competency information gathering and optimization?
It ought to matter how.

Basically the same capabilities? Really? Is SSO capable of mach 6.7?
If your intent was to disparage the X-15 program, it seems to me misplaced. SSO is where it is today, in part, because of the X-15 program research.

Have curtains across the windows, like in the B-52's (to prevent blindness from the bomb going off...).
Have anyone looking out the front wear a patch on one eye at a time, so they dont loose both at once?
I think 100 km would disqualify the current set of astro/cosmo/taiko-nauts.
Will it be too expensize ( what is "expensize", anyway ) for us? Or will the tickets be the same price?
( relax, I'm just kidding ).

But that is just me, I think.
No, it's not going to happen in your lifetime.
Replace with:
It's not likely to happen in your lifetime.

In my mind, Automobile dealerships seem like a good example of "sunk to the same level of suckyness".
Question is: Will they give it back?
you meant MSOffice for Solaris?
*That* would give both MS and Sun something to make money on.
