I don't know for the US but in Europe things are a bit different now. The firefox marketshare is quite significant amongst private surfers. Internet Explorer marketshare in the business world is due to the legacy (ActiveX and other similar craps). This legacy is showing its age (new technologies are emerging). The first "faux pas" of Microsoft and Firefox will enter into the business world massively.
Well it allows DRM vendors to sell DRM systems. The technical difficulty of breaking DRM has to be higher than the average executive at a record company.
As soon as your encrypted file is transformed into sound (good old analog sound). I can copy it. The quality loss can become almost insignificant (for most people IMHO) if you have a relative good installation. kids will soon rediscover what we used to do with K7 and other Analog medium if numeric-to-numeric copy becomes too hard. it will be numeric-analog-numeric.
It does mean that your DRM song shouldn't produce any sound in order to be 100% safe. IMHO
Java c# and other similar languages are economic necessities. You speed up the coding part of the project basically. I totally agree with the limits of these languages especially fr resource hungry apps or mission critical ones, but see the time/documentation you need to code in C compared to c#/java. It is almost the same argument used against windowed IDE apps.
Purists can lament on the poor state of computer engineering...But in the real life only your number of contracts/happy clients matter. As a business owner too...Anything that makes my life easier and helps me to reduce the cost without jeopardizing the final product quality is welcome.
This organization is litteraly sending thousands of books (called Atlas of Creation) to schools around Europe. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15857761/ Nobody clearly understands where their funds come from...But they are "huge".
It is even more nasty than that. Books are sold under a fixed retail price in France as far as I know. Practically it means that books "must" cost the same in your supermarket and in your local bookseller. Such a law is aimed at protection small booksellers. (it doesn't mean that I share this point of view...).
Honestly I don't think they want to bully american companies...This is just an company facing another absurd/bureaucratic european law.
Concerning vista Windows explorer, I prefer it over XP windows explorer anyday. For example you just type in the address bar: ftp://yourserver.com and it opens a ftp session just like Konqueror.
non technical people need acronym like middleware to explain things that sounds like magic to them. Don't laugh, take it seriously otherwise you will end up in a tupperware.
It is more than a dying format. It is a dying concept. Downloading movies is the way forward. The last one I just downloaded was...Mmmg 1.7 GB or something. DIVX with a new codec. Works well with my ADSL. Resolution is now better than VHS, sure it is still behind DVD quality, but things are improving. And on my old TV, you can't really spot any annoying difference. I don't see myself buying any DVD/Blueray whatever in 5 years honestly.
And current trends do not include the latest treaty?
It includes examples: 1. Ex-Yugoslavia civil wars where strictly no common policy has been found and the military intervention (without the US) was a joke 2. Last Iraq war. (confirmation of the Ex-Yugoslavia trend) 3. the UK is facing diplomatic tensions with Russia (the murders of Russian dissidents in Britain). Have you see anykind of solidarity lately? The last sign of "solidarity" was Sarkozy congratulating Putin for his election. 4. A petty fight around the function "should it be a foreign affair minister?" 5. and the list goes on
I was an europhile, I'm still is, but It doesn't mean that I must fool myself.
European Union (the confused, sluggish super power) and China (the unified and aggressive super power).
Beeing European and living in the so called European capital: Brussels. I can assure you that the European Union won't become a super power anytime soon. The European union is a bunch of independant states with strictly no common foreign policy and a real difficulty to define even the most basic common interest & strategy.Part of this mess are countries live with grandiose illusions (Uk, France), others with a difficulty to accept themselves (Germany), lost in domestic affairs (Italy, Belgium,Spain), eager to enjoy their hard won independance (Poland), focus on regional conflict (Greece), or simply not interested (Netherlands, Denmark, etc).
When I see the current trends, I don't see any European common foreign policy in a reasonnable future. What would worry me if I was American would be: China and Russia in some ways...India in the long term, the rest (particularly Europe) is sleeping.
More *educated* to be sure, but not necessarily more intelligent. The two are not always related
Or beeing truly passionate about your work. Computing requires to stay in touch with new technologies. The biggest set of tools you have, the better. Imaginative...Remind you that you have seen this, or done that...Could be handy for this new problem. I wouldn't call these things "intelligence", more like being smart.
I didn't have a real problem with the C-64 keyboard
Me neither. I don't understand why they mentionned it. I got still my old commode 64 and it still works...I couldn't say the same for my first PS/2 Keyboard or my previous Laptop keyboard.
I spent hour learning to code with it and ever more hours smashing keys while playing. Commodore was rock solid...Exactly what you need for nervous/uncareful kids.
The assertion that the Bible should be read as allegories is quite modern. Don't forget that 500 years ago, you would have been killed/tortured because you thought the earth "could be" flat. The catholic church didn't recognize that the 6000 years old earth (or something equivalent) was an allegory until very recently (decades mean nanoseconds in history).
In the long term I do believe that the Bible will vanish just like all these old religions like polytheism (somes last for 4000 years see the Egyptian religion). It looks like we are a bit in the situation of the Roman empire when all sorts of funny religions (like new ages/Paganism/DIY God today) appeared until christians took the power with Constantin.
But I firmly believe that atheism won't win too. People desesperatly a needs "father/mother" figure, whatever it can be. They need to worship something, death and the human condition are too difficult to accept for most of us.
I seriously doubt they could make 5 billions out of software sales. But I do believe that a brand such as red hat has e big potential in services for large companies (think IBM)
Flash is a ubiquitous open-standard with mature development tools and tons of 3rd-party partners
Actionscript is worst language I have ever worked with. The syntax is just plain weird. When you mix object oriented code with the previous actionscript codes (or worst with movie built-in clips or buttons)...good luck for debugging (trace is your only friend). I spent hours figuring out how to link external class files.
The Flash editor looks like a webdesigner tool transformed into a funny IDE application...Wait a minute...Err well that's case right? Webdesigner are lost and coder can't use it.
Flex may be interesting I didn't have the opportunity to work with so far. I don't know for webdesigners but as a coder I see a lot of promising features in silverlight (and in its open source clone).
I had the same problem (and I still have it). When you can, you have to divide your work into several milestones (negociation skills required). Once a milestone has been reached, it must be paid (usually + 15 working days in my case) otherwise you won't continue (well not that strict...But it puts some healthy pressions on the project manager).
not getting paid on time...
It looks like the central point to me. He mentionned having difficulties to pay his apartment rent (i used to be in such a situation as a freelance and he turns you mad). He mentionned several bad experiences with small companies.
Ruby is "trendy" and a niche language.
A client paying you on time is rare, I'd say extremely rare (if you find one, do whatever you can to keep it even a low budget, it may save your life). The trick is to have enough clients to keep a continuous clash flow. It is quite hard to get a good clash flow in such a tiny market.
If you are a moderatly good salesman (suggested by his writing style) full of testosterons, you are screwed.

Those devs deserver their salaries. I would purchase a license for their product for a big project even if it was to be open source.
I would either subscribe to a premium technical support of some sorts. IMHO
It depends if you consider Turkey as European.

Do you like your university?
Aimez-vous votre fac?
Fac sounds surprisingly like f*ck. So it you aren't quite fluent in French it sounds like: do you like (wtf?) fuck

Ok so tell me how often are you going to be visiting the Microsoft website if you happen to be a Linux and Firefox user?
If you use the mono framework on a linux distro, the C# documentation on microsoft is quite helpful (Monodevelop IDE uses it)
I had the same problem (and I still have it). When you can, you have to divide your work into several milestones (negociation skills required). Once a milestone has been reached, it must be paid (usually + 15 working days in my case) otherwise you won't continue (well not that strict...But it puts some healthy pressions on the project manager).
It did help me in several occasions.
