Not necessarily, oh pedantic one. A company is a singular entity, despite having many employees and there is no reason why you could not also treat staff as a singular entity in the same way that a brigade, platoon etc. are singular.
I admit, it has a somewhat artificial feel, though.
Yes, but the yachting, horseriding, cycling and swimming competitions were considerably smaller in ancient times. Not to mention, the were no competitors from Japan, Australia....
The first few Olympiads were running events, just that. Then funky high-tech sports like javelin were added a little later.
Either you have greatly misunderstood the point, or you've never worked on a collaborative project.
Having decent workflow and collaborative tools is a boon for any project where you have a large number of people working on a number of documents. Take a look at something like teh full-blown Quark (hideous company) Publishing system with collaborative workflow, heck take a look at CVS.
Now, personally, I shudder at the idea of this being implemented as a Web Service (you would think that MS would try and bolt this stuff onto Exchange), but the concept is sound enough.
As a left-leaning liberal (and that's not necessarily a term of abuse in the UK), I have to say that this looks likely to be very, very funny and I'm looking forward to it.
A splendid poem, and the bane of translators (Douglas Hofstadter wrote about that). One of the nice things is that it marked the creation of the word 'chortle' which is now in pretty wide circulation.
To be honest, I think the thing to do is to print out the article for the hypothetical user, and point out that this is what happens if you don't install critical updates, a firewall, virus protection and Adaware
The problem as I see it is the creation of a never ending arms race (or legs race, as the case may be). I've heard the argument that 'what we should do is allow the use of drugs that are safe, that way we don't push it underground'.
In fact, that policy simply ensures that everyone has to take drugs to get into competitive sports, and that the cheaters will simply take banned 'dangerous' drugs to get a competitive edge.
Someone does the 1500m with a cybernetic leg one year, someone does it a formula one car the next. Oops, no more sport.

I really don't understand... Real is making content available in a format that is compatible with the iPod and is compatible with iPod DRM.
The downsides
1. Loss of licensing revenue of fairplay 2. Competition for iTunes Store
Upsides
3. Potential improved sales for the iPod
Now it's been said often enough that the prime motive of iTunes is to sell iPods, so we can more or less discount downside 2. Downside 1? I can't believe that it is *that* substantial.
Actually, I strongly disagree. I was really very glad to see the mock-serious nature of the trailer. Playing it straight is the best way to make it funny. Airplane!, Men In Black, whatever - the straighter it is played, the funnier it is in my opinion.
You are exactly right. For what it's worth, it is Motorola which is charge of developing the cellular WiFi call hand-over technology, and which is also in charge of wooing the operators.
And if I were an operator I would be nervous: 'you mean if they use the phones within the office I get zero revenue?'
I read the article. Now, if he had said that 'antibiotics for children are likely to be among the panel's recommendations' would you conclude that antibiotics were primarily effective for children?

Given that hell is a construct created specifically to scare the ignorant, I find the combination of your post and your .sig delightfully ironic.

Do they still have their veeery nice training/hospitality place down in the South of France near Nice?
An internet is any connected series of networks. The Internet is the globally connnected system that we are currently using.

Nope iPod is one of Apple's highest margin products. iTunes just squeaks a profit, I believe.
Good stuff, interesting. I would mod you up if I could, which I can't. :-)

Hmmm.
Well, that's a pretty strong claim you make there, given the level of peer review of article changes.
Care to expand on what level of craftiness is required?
Care to cite the Wikipedia articles which are so flawed?
The radio series had the line, as I recall. Spoken by The Book.

Oh no! - you mean my Mac OS X box has been hacked?
I think you'll find that Google isn't being that discriminating at the moment
As a brit who works with Canadian colleagues (Ontario), I can tell you that aboot is pretty common.
