And before someone pulls the skeptical's dictionary take, let me be the first to say that it is one huge tripe.
Really people, being a jerk skeptic doesn't help. That article is full of ad hominem attacks, over simplifications and such, doing just like the people of "Intelligent Design"
FUD's got a limit. I guess people are enjoying it when it is agains MS, but anyway, spreading disinformation is pretty much not good
Yeah Vista causes cancer, everything you see in your computer, if it is not Vista approved will look garbled (and even your eyes will look fuzzy after using Vista). And BillyG eats kittens for breakfast.
Really, it's been what, 5 years since AMD64 was introduced and still people don't know if it runs 32 bit software in an 64bit OS.
That and other PHB ideas (I wanna stab the next jerk who complains that their clipper application is running slow, and they've already bough a very expensive P4 to run it)
People want computers to compensate for their lack of dick size, hence PHB executives buying powerful notebooks to play solitaire and use MS Office
to prevent people from testing.NET on a 386 and then JAVA on a 3 GHZ and saying "See JAVA is faster!"
I have my doubts; My money's on "only a little bit faster"
Or maybe when you present them with your idea, they say "well, ok, it's ten of our patents your product violates, either we settle (meaning you get nothing and they get the dough) or we just stomp you.
Yeah, jerk, keep fooling yourself. You're gonna get it sooner or later.

*ALERT* LAME JOKE WARNING *ALERT*

What comes to mind is the discovery of H. Pylori in gastric ulcers. Ridiculed to the top, but eventually they had the last laugh (and a Nobel Prize)
And could you define "Mainstream Scientist"? Is Robert Jahn a "mainstream scientist"? Remember he is a Professor at Princeton.
And if you mean discoveries by people with non-formal training (or maybe not all the way to PhD), it happens lots of times.
For the most glaring example, can someone say Fermat?
You forgot the joke!
The proof that computers run on smoke is: Once the smoke inside is let out, they don't work anymore.

Flash player has most of the needed capabilities (ok, blinking lights and such), and starting its VM doesn't hose the machine like Java does.
No, the real question is:
Is it tougher than Chuck Norris?
I doubt it...
if you ever come close to a program called Caft, run like hell
It is the most retarded piece of shit I've ever seen, and "proud to be IE only"
I second that
Maybe this'll help them to be less stupid and negligent

Only 3 days to compile everything...
(cue the "but you wont compile everything there, it wont'b as fast without using the SPUs, etc, etc")
In Brazil DST rules changes _every year_. Try dealing with THAT!
The end result: people change it manually... And as they said, servers use UMT, so...
Pipoul are dumb
