Actually, from personal experience, some of the code we've been mucking with using ASP.NET 2.0 has been just fine regardless of browser. Not bad considering Safari's lack of standards compliance.
To your original point, any system generated code is potentially fraught with peril...question is, how easy is it for you to muck by hand and clean it up. That is one of the big advantages of Ruby on Rails and it seems like the same deal with ASP.NET 2, although there are a lot more layers and code libraries with ASP.NET.
He also points out that Google's customers (us) can't very well access Google without his lines or the lines of his competitors.
Well, what are the customers paying for, then, if not access to "his lines" which were (and pay close attention here) subsidized by U.S. citizens.
I'm all for companies trying to make a buck. I'm againt companies changing the business model mid-stream. He wants to charge Google that's fine. I want my money back. Oh, and the back rent, too.
Just trying to make a point. $120 DOES seem a bit steep (for XP/Office or games), but we (i.e. consumers) pay a lot more for stupid stuff, like HBO (talk about a waste of $$$).
And yeah, CIOs and other corporate heads are willing to pay to get rid of headaches. QED.
I never heard of a situation here in Germany where someone had to "defend their life or well-being".
What's Germany the size of Pennsylvania? You realize that Katrina wiped out the equivalent land area of Great Britain, don't you? It's a big country that believes in self reliance and enables us to bring democracy to places where the rest of civilization doesn't think it's possible...like Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan and, oh yeah, Germany.
Boy, are we stupid and closed minded for not understanding other cultures. Wish they could show us the same 'respect'.
Did your physics prof understand that his 'science' grew out of Philosophic Inquiry? Sure there are idiots in Philosophy, but it gave birth to all modern sciences.
Don't point out the obvious, he was going for +1 insightful. Besides, he doesn't 'upgrade' a machine (which would have the power supply, case and Windows license he so desparately needs.)
You are free to do business with others, should you choose. You don't have to use their service. And other services are available that don't restrict.
Besides, all anyone has to do is burn a standard CD and then re-rip to MP3 (if there isn't already a codec to go straight through). I don't know how that would violate any TOS. That should be protected under fair use without 'cracking' any DRM.
I was talking to 'breaking' DRM not using as you see fit. Too subtle, I guess.
Personally, I would like to see the DMCA go away; however, any restrictive form of DRM you can think of is fair game. Don't take away your right to make it, and don't take away my right to break it.
Is this a parody? Seriously, you understand that stealing is a crime and protecting your property is not. Or were you thinking we were in another country?
Why are/.ers so anti-Diebold and 'paperless' voting. If companies brought back paper, then they won't need data and storage on computers. I just find this bastion of Ludditism surprising here.
Question: Where are you going to find investors when you offer that kind of return? Seriously, IBM already has an Office Suite, SmartSuite. They charge $$$ for it. We get it free with our StinkPads and don't use it. Why?
Well looking at how well IBM has pushed OS/2, Notes, 1-2-3 and Ami-Pro, which was only like the best Word Processor EVAR, they've shown they can't manager Software. Why rely on stuff that won't be around and isn't compatible with anything?
Novells^WSCOs record isn't much better.

I'm pretty sure the Express Edition just lacks a lot of the server integration/front end deployment capabilities. Which, of course, is a lot.

Anyone?
Bueller?

Imagine 3-4 hot release a year for...what...US$10 a month? Keep going or grab a new one?
Then what?
Now imagine a corporate user (or CIO) looking at US$120/head for XP and Office.
This is where it's heading, the Net just makes content delivery easier.

Not to get pedantic, but Greece is a country.
And to your original point, it is why Greece does not have a thriving economy.

How many Gnome posts are there that this is even an issue?
Seriously.
Google CSI Miami.

This is too true.
You can't get market share if you don't subsidize it. I mean, if I'm spending that kind of $$$, I'll get a iPaq.
