Wrong person. wiIIyhiII (1327445) is not willyhill (965620).
twitter figured out the correct combination of letters to run a proper joe job on the person that has the temerity to document his bullshit after trying many times.
Like Carl Sagan once said, we humans are carbon chauvinists. We want life in other planets/places to be similar to the stuff we have here on Earth, and water is an agreeable medium for most carbon-based organisms (and compounds) to thrive on.
So if you find liquid water, it follows that you might also find something that approaches life in or near it.
I firmly believe that extraterrestrial life
Look up at the night sky some time and try to wonder if all that is there just to look pretty to us elite chosen ones.
Pure liquid water was never sampled by the Viking missions. The frost you refer to I assume are the pictures from the Utopia taken by the #2 lander. That wasn't pure water. Water vapor has been known to be in the Martian atmosphere for a long time. But that's true also for the higher levels of the Venus cloud cover, so it doesn't mean much in this context.
Despite the low air pressure
The average air pressure in Mars is about 7mb, which is comparable to the top of Everest.
I'm not sure I understand this - Microsoft fixed most of the IE6 ActiveX stability issues in the last few SPs on Windows XP. And IE7 (as far as I can tell) has none of them.
Besides, when some ActiveX control made IE freeze no one had any problems blaming it on Microsoft and demanding they fix it. Ditto for just about any application error or driver boo on Windows.
Well, kinda. The only way (that I know of) to refine and evolve UIs is to look at them and discuss how they work or are supposed to work, and whether or not a given change affects functionality or is even technically feasible.
But you need to get some users into the equation. Normal users of your application(s). Color me skeptical whenever a developer wants to design a GUI all by himself because "he knows" what something is supposed to look like or behave. We developers are the absolute worst group of people to be involved in usability, because most of us can't think like users if our lives depended on it.
So follow the cycle with your dev teams and technology people, but involve users often and early. That is the difference between a good app that's usable and a good app that no one wants to run because it looks like crap, is confusing, etc. See Lotus Notes for more details on this/rimshot
Anyway, good luck with that. Truly good graphical interfaces are hard to achieve.
Yes twitter, this is the correct time to be worried. It's that weirdest of moments when you feel your balls are in your throat because you realize you fucked up, just like I predicted you would.
Soon willyhill will comeback, and I have no doubt he'll be updating his journal. You've been a busy troll these past few weeks. That post is really just one of many things, some of which are not even on Slashdot to be linked to but will emerge soon.
Then people will be able to make up their minds about it, and not take my word for anything. Or yours.
Well, I rarely post more than once a day but today I had a lot of boring downtime and I seem to be enjoying myself. And who cares what twitter calls Microsoft? I didn't say anything about that, did I? In any case, he has a lot more time than I do. I swear no one with an 8-5 job could juggle all that crap just to post on a website. At least I post about other stuff and with only one account.
Anyway, thanks for the lifeless peanut thing, it made my day and my sig =)
It should be noted that wiIIyhiII (1327445) is a different person than willyhill (965620). The former is part of a collection of throwaway troll accounts created to harass anyone who dares point out what twitter has been doing to Slashdot lately.
The latter is on vacation and hasn't posted in three weeks.
If anyone has any doubt as to who owns the troll account, this should be enough. One of those oh shit I can't believe I posted that with this account moments for twitter, I'm sure. But that's what happens when you have to juggle 25+ accounts.
I sure as hell hope not, I cannot begin to list all the advantages of running IIS+.NET on Server 2003 over [insert language] and mod_whatever on Apache. Having to muck around with httpd.conf and chmod wouldn't exactly be an improvement over their current stack, especially for intra-corp applications.
(I realize the above paragraph might hurt some fanboys - sorry. You can have your platform, I recognize its strengths. Just leave mine alone)
This is probably part of Microsoft's push to make things like PHP and Ruby work better on Windows. After all, they'd rather you run WAMP than LAMP. They've been engaged with Zend on the FastGCI implementation for IIS that makes PHP so much better on Windows. I don't think they see IIS as some sacred cow to be protected. Again, as long as you're running everything on Windows Server =)
A lot of parents are becoming more interesting in girls-only schools
If I was a parent I'd be cautious about this. There's a big difference between a x-only school and a good school, and the difference in results between a good school and a mediocre one is enormous in most cases.
I was lucky to attend mostly private Catholic schools. And I say that not because of the religion angle (which I always disliked), but because it's only later that you realize how much better you had it (from a cultural standpoint) compared to most people who attended public schools. Note that this is true for the place I went to school in, and not necessarily applicable for all countries/regions/etc.
I'd prefer to have my children go to a good school rather than one that caters to gender homogeneity (sp?). I think the advantages of the former far outweigh the latter. But if the two aspects can be combined successfully, then fine.
His argument that ACPI was "sabotaged" has been debunked again and again, and even if true in the context that he claims it was, it would have no bearing whatsoever in what a motherboard vendor does or doesn't do with it, to the detriment of Linux or otherwise. This problem is a misleading entry in a value table, which when corrected leads to Linux power management working again when hacked. That alone pretty much invalidates his sabotage claim.
Again, even if true, his link would have absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the topic at hand.
Offtopic would have probably been more appropiate, but troll is OK. Maybe that will stop him from using his incorrect and misleading journal entries to support his arguments. There are even comments on that JE that disprove his so-called theory.
Or maybe it was the links to Roy Schestowitz's annoying attack blog, who is another FUDster and Digg's equivalent to twitter.
Or maybe he's being modded down for organizing shitstorms like these with his sockpuppets.
Didn't need one, or couldn't get one because of the grades?
Well, she ended up at Wellesley. She didn't need one in the sense that it wasn't a problem to pay for it, but she wouldn't have been able to get one in a million years (there) with her grades.
Slashdot Mirror
That way you won't have to see the cute internet police on your browser every 30 minutes.
Well, you can't blame people for using you as a punchline. You've earned it.
Perhaps the Spanish can do the same to them.
And this "kills" FOSS because... ?

Doh, I was thinking in mmHg, sorry.

Users don't care about that.

And the constant Flash crashes in Ubuntu...
Clearly you never used RedHat 5.x
Oh wait, that's not the point here, is it. Carry on then.

Wrong person.
Sorry you got nailed by the troll. Happens to everyone once in a while.
Not with the name troll he created for me, and certainly not at me.
He's just trying to bait me, and unfortunately this time it worked. I have karma for one negative downmod though. He doesn't.
This is true for Microsoft as well, but I'm constantly told here that they are about to die. Maybe I'm missing something.
That comes later, just like it did with Google.
Yes twitter, this is the correct time to be worried. It's that weirdest of moments when you feel your balls are in your throat because you realize you fucked up, just like I predicted you would.

Never had a problem with it, it works as advertised. I like my security to be slightly more granular though, which is why I'd rather have ACLs on NT.
This is for internal corporate applications though, irrelevant in the context of where I'd run my blog or picture gallery.
