I'm pretty sure his *plan* didn't even attempt to address violent crimes, which would be off-topic and derail this thread into a long moral discussion about crime and punishment that would fill volumes of books, wait.. slashdot... volumes of raid protected hard drives.
An Open Source enthusiast does not imply the person is an experienced coder.
To that end I suspect that non-open source coders can suffer from the same dilemma, or that they could be well versed in picking the most appropriate language for developing a non-open source project.
I agree with your other points, failure to match project expectations with language capabilities is a sure way to a projects eventual demise.
Prof. Farnsworth: "This will not stand!" (people talking surprised together) "I'll take you on, you air balling bozos" Bubblegum: "You old man? Hu! Sweet Clive, laugh derisively at him." Sweet Clive: "Ahaha, ahaha, aahahaha."
Had they spent a little of the lawyer money on coming up with ways to stay *relevant* in a changing and evolving market they might have noticed that their competition has not stopped innovating.
good bye, good riddance
Yeah, Dell owes me too, big time. I can buy this laptop from them for much cheaper now, pay up, err gimme *in store* credit.
I hope this sets a precedence. I will give Apple products much more consideration in the future if a few months after buying it I can get credit towards my next techy purchase from them.
Wireless does not imply distance. Setting next to my TV is a TiVo, Stereo Receiver, CD Player, DVD Player, VHS Player, PlayStation 2, Wii, Cable for a Video Camera, Digital Camera... and they all sit within inches of each other. If I could de-clutter the cables to make all this work maybe I would not have to create a Visio Diagram of the cables at my wife's insistence. She's planning my early demise but having to deal with the cable clutter keeps me around a little bit longer. Five foot range should do just fine for me thanks.
Back up to multiple destinations, say to multiple media, maybe 2 DVD and 1 Tape.
After a certain amount of time, 1-2 years or so, restore the data which serves to prove the data integrity. Then backup the restored data to new media.
This can also help to stave off the fear/risk of technology becoming "unusable" in 10 years.
Is this a limitation or am I just not understanding the statement?
"Playback Fast-Forware and Rewind up to a maximum of 128 times."
"Files created with our Minikit are designed for playback with the included software and our DVD Recorders."
Can their files be exported to a format that I can playback in a program of MY choice? What can't I use my DVD recorder? I don't need another one from them.
Hmm... like most things, looks good 'till you peel back the layers.
I have three Dual Tuner DirecTV Tivo's. I primarily use the one in the Family Room and the other one located in our bedroom. Between the shows I like, my wife likes and the kids shows, there invariably comes that time that I would like to watch a show that is recorded on the Tivo in the bedroom, but my wife is sleeping so I cannot watch it. With no way to transfer the video from one tuner to another (thanks to DirecTV not offering the HMO option), I am no longer in full control of my viewing, which is the point of a DVR. Yes, yes, I could hack my Tivo, blah blah blah...
Now if I could have a single DVR that has enough tuners (7 sounds like a good start, I have kids with varied ages and likes) for the rare times that there are different shows that the entire family would like recorded for later viewing, AND the ability to then stream that recording to any TV in the house, which may require a simple device to attach the TV to the network for the data/video stream.

Interesting logic, please don't run for any office.

"Stay on target"

His fears are based upon his day to day use of Microsoft applications. I'm sure he's seen enough bsod's to put the fear of death into him.
Come on Billy boy, put your body on the line and stand behind the products your company produces.
