Truthfully though, where the heck are the meta-data based filesystems that we were promised? I've love to be able to, on a filesystem level, instantly pull up a folder view of all videos - or all images. Or all images of my dog. Or all images outdoors. Or all images of my dog outdoors.
Basically, just the ability to organize via an arbitrary number of categorized tags.
You must be referring to WinFS... Oh wait, it's never shipped, but is in development.
From the article: biography Michael Alter is president of SurePayroll, a payroll outsourcing company that processes and remits payroll taxes for more than 15,000 small businesses across the country.
The validity of the story aside, do you think perhaps that SurePayroll has the software to "detect" this "pervasive" crime?
To me, this story feels like a scare tactic sales pitch.
I think the majority of posts are missing the point. Microsoft may or may not be attempting to compete with Adobe. What is certain is that with Longhorn they are pushing XML Vector based graphics in a big way read: XAML, METRO. XAML is the markup language for User Interface and Metro is their pdf/postscript "killer". Developers and graphic artists alike require the tools that export XAML for creating all these new wonderful user interfaces that are heavily vector based instead of bitmaped based.
Since they are so heavily banking the future on XAML and Metro, I would expect that they don't want to have adobe in the critical path.
1. The picture for "digital cable" sucks. Can they compress the image any more? Talk about MPEG artifacts.
2. I subscribed to AT&T cable, phone, and cable modem... 3 separate bills. Give me a break. It is perhaps unfair as I canceled shortly after Comcast took over for AT&T, but I doubt they combine the bills yet.
3. Now that I have DSL I can fire up a web server and not be violating a stupid EULA.
I have three bills still, but I am never confused about not making a payment to one of them as they are not all called AT&T Broadband.
Since games are of no interest to me and my phone (wireless) has nationwide calling plan with enough "free" minutes, that simply removes two of the three reasons. As I stated before, the picture quality from my DirecTV dish rivals my former "digital" cable.
This one is simple. You must leave. Not because they will match or anything like that, but simply because they CUT your pay in the first place.
My experience was slightly different. I could not get along or respect my direct management. I searched for and accepted a position at a different company. When I attempted to resign, they dismissed the manager and gave me a raise to boot. That was two years ago. I never left.

I was hoping they'd release it on DIVX. That would go well with my 200 disc Sony DVD changer... Oh, that's right DIVX is DEAD. Someday Lucas will get a clue and release it on DVD, but obviously it is NOT anytime soon. I guess I'll have to watch SW, ESB and RJ on LaserDisc again, since I won't be seeing any of them on my preferred format...DVD I NEVER buy VHS...
For the same reason they cripple encryption, rocket launches, etc... Let's hobble our stateside companies TO the benefit of outside nations. We have vastly superior intellect you know (BIG SARCASM). It still amazes me the arrogance of our government towards technology. Sure we have a big step ahead of many nations in many areas, but how long will that last. Why would we want piss away the tax revenue generated from any of these products (Rockets, software, Satellite, etc)? I for one don't know, but I do continue to write my the people who represent me in gov't. I suggest others to do the same.
So Intel leaves the discreet market to focus on integrated chip sets the same day that nVidia announces an agreement with ALI (Acer Labs) for northbridge integration...

My understanding is that Pirates of the Silicon Valley is fairly accurate. Does not paint Jobs in the best light.

All wrong. Go back to the drawing board, this time with feline DNA.
Neanderthal CATS HO!

amen to that. 1979's 'alien' is good, but the 1986 'aliens' is what made my heart thump and want to be a space marine.
GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!
Am I the only one who sees GAME OVER MAN as CHET the pile of bile from Weird Science?

Just my 2 cents.
I am a satellite customer for a few reasons.
1. The picture for "digital cable" sucks. Can they compress the image any more? Talk about MPEG artifacts.
2. I subscribed to AT&T cable, phone, and cable modem... 3 separate bills. Give me a break. It is perhaps unfair as I canceled shortly after Comcast took over for AT&T, but I doubt they combine the bills yet.

One look at the "Recommended Routes to be Studied in the Environmental Process" one will notice that they include the BAY AREA... Possible Route Map

Of course PacBell could never buy AT&T as they (Pacbell) are owned by SBC.

why even bother passing legislation of this sort?
For the same reason they cripple encryption, rocket launches, etc... Let's hobble our stateside companies TO the benefit of outside nations. We have vastly superior intellect you know (BIG SARCASM).
