I agree. Let the slashdotters start using words like "cornhole" to describe things and see if we can get the marketers to turn them into buzzwords that will show up everywhere like "extreme".
This is my new Cornhole Plasma Screen DVD blender.
Or...we're releasing the next edition of the electric car called the Chevrolet BallSack.
have some software that some manager will want to buy because of its colorful view graphs that supposedly helps them make business decisions quicker and easier.
In reality, most management types don't understand analytics at all, and when one of their math-geeks does, they are often overlooked as geek-speak.
My feeling is that this is a swipe at Siebel/Oracle/SAP/whoever so Microsoft can add a feather to their cap and say that they are relevant in the enterprise space because they have a one-size-fits-all BI solution.
the support costs of a iSeries? Linux might save you a bit for software support, but that harware support, and arm-twisting upgrade schedule will have you pulling your hair.
I can't speak for the iMac, but my QuickSilver G4 800 has been running fine for 4 years (with occasional reboots). The only problem I've had was with some memory I added later. I would say that the closer a Mac gets to commodity hardware, the worse the quality will be. Additionally, I don't have 25 of them to deal with, and I don't make money from my Mac.
All this being said, I do have a fried who's had similar experiences to yours. Displays in the shop multiple times, with unknown ETR.
Anyone care to speculate on whether their Mac was built on a Friday or a Tuesday, and to what degree this affects quality?
Let the problem take care of itself. Screw protecting stupid people from themselves. If some freaking soccer mom clicks a link that tells her to put in the number for her already maxxed out credit card, no angel is gonna lose her wings.
But I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of human intelligence. People are stupid. Like sheep. Dumber than a box of hammers.
about faster release schedules. They make their money mostly on concessions, not tickets. If they can shoo more people through the doors, they make more money, eh?
I always heard he liked coming in the back door, now M$ tries to take the back door approach to their EU problem. Good thing the judge saw through M$'s BS.
Except that nobody wants to wear gay 3d clunky glasses while working on the computer. So unless you're talking about holographic 3d images that don't require said gay glasses, I wouldn't put any money on it yet.
Anyone who has their head buried so firmly and deeply in the sand to believe, WITHOUT SCRUTINY (scrutiny that you do not offer), anything that comes from China is an idiot.
You are a racist if you believe that the original poster pointed out the history of and potential for fraud based solely on the fact that the scientists were Chinese.
Let the flames begin...
So the lawyers are bleeding (or already have bled) SCO dry while SCO attempts (and fails) to bleed IBM dry. IBM is very, very good at the legal game. Don't forget that they won a trial against the government, which has an unlimited budget to prosecute these things.
IBM has lawyers on the payroll all the time, and has deep pockets for the high priced ones they bring in for trials like this. I don't know who is getting rich, but I bet they don't retire.
I wholeheartedly agree. Government spends money inefficiently. Plain and simple. When the people vote themselves largesse from the government, it spends it even more inefficiently. My libertarian ideals do not permit me to even believe in property tax in the first place. I paid income tax on the money I used to buy the property, then probably a sales tax too, and a real estate tax, why should I have to pay property tax to keep it. Didn't we have a tea party a long time ago about something very similar?
to ask forgiveness than to seek permission.
Put the memory in the server while the redundant server handles its work. Then do the same for the redundant one.
Screw the bureaucratic fuck-monkeys. Things in the IT shops where I have worked have very often happened mysteriously or by accident. "Whoa, when did this code get fixed? Who installed that memory? When did this port get boosted to GigE?" etc. etc. etc.
While your grammatical use of the word fuck is correct, your spelling of moron is not, and the tense of the word regulate is also incorrect. You are obviously not the target audience of the article or the short film.
Amen brother. There's absofuckinglutely nothing worse than a flash animation on the first page of a web site.
The only problem is that Microsoft does not care about Flash or whatever the latest thing is that some stupid fuck bought for their web page.
It's purely about extending platform domination. This stuff will require Windows/IE/whatever just to run, and that's where M$ makes its money.

Man, am I full of piss and vinegar today.
I'm sorry. You seem to think that the root cause is the industry that sells these sorts of things to the people that want them. Why not get rid of this "not my responsibility" attitude and point the finger of blame on the individual. There wouldn't be a cigarette industry if people didn't buy them. Likewise fast food.
Cigarettes and fast food save us money by killing people sooner. Would you rather everyone lived to be 100 in a nursing home costing medicare/social security 5000 dollars a month? Yeah, that would be cheaper.
Troll.
Absofreakinlutely. If the source says that it finds some percentage of errors in patents, and in the same breath says that it will help you with your patents for a fee, you have to believe that their research is slanted. However, if NONE of the 98% of patents that have errors in them were consulted on by this company, and then 2% that are error free were consulted on by them, then they'll have my attention.
If I'm reading this
correctly, the air doesn't get sucked out of the gel, because the aerogel is a actually the solid silica that is left after drying and extracting the liquid. It is not a closed cell structure, and cannot actually "contain" the air.
However, what with me not being a JPL scientist, I could be wrong.
1: Come up with crappy inductive heating cookware/stove combo.
2: ???
3: Make liberal use of the term RFID in marketing hype
4: Post slashvertisement
5: Profit!
not to mention the fact that this is STILL A 32 BIT PROCESSOR.
they better have their act together with some 64bit CPUs from intel before they butcher a G5 tower with on of these abominations.
the problem is that the patent office is often issuing patents for things that are trade secrets, business processes, or just plain obvious. However, this is a step in the right direction.
Apple is also dead.
Kinda reminds me of the oil companies telling me that gas prices are going to rise, preceding the actual rise, then the commodities traders hear the rumor and drive up the price. Tech companies are trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I think the poster meant that his socks physically flew off his feet, literally, actually, oh...and for real. With the size of the fan used on the external cooler (ex-heater) this is entirely possible.
...house contents address environmental impact, through the company's mysterious "Factor X," and usability, via intelligent design of device controls...
Intelligent design of device controls? I knew it! All along the purveyors of intelligent design have been in cahoots with Matsushita over Japanese control of the US school system.

When I first saw this headline, I thought to myself: "Yeah, no shit, everything written by Micro$oft leaks." Then I read TFA.
