You know, this could actually go somewhere in certain corporate environments. The key here is application support internally. Run a local server with all the apps. It would be great if all you had to do to get a new workstation up is put the favorites in a login script. Then the user has all of his/her apps based upon department needs. No fuss, no issues. Need to swap workstations? No problem, the apps are always there. I know a lot of organizations that have users work off of network drives anyways, so when the network is down, they still didn't get any work done. Now about MS word compatibility...
I wonder if they will choose Linux or OS X. These seem the likely replacement choices. With linux they could use existing hardware, but damn are those Xserves sexy.
Actually, he did get a large portion of those voters, but I'd really like to know where your majority statistic comes from. I would not argue that there are many that would choose not to think for themselves, but what I would argue is the source. Did they get this inclination in church or from Fox news?
All right lets begin all of the comments about how anyone with a religion is automatically a mindless fool who wants the "evil science" to go away so we can burn witches. Grow up people. Religion has and always will be an easy out for a larger problem. Simple, good old-fashioned ignorance. From both sides it seems. You see religion is a hot button issue that politicians can use to sway the public away from the truth. In this case it's an infinitely complex situation involving corporate interests and confused foreign policy. Are there some insane Christians out there? SURE THERE ARE! But the point is that you can say the same for ANY other special interest group. The unfortunate thing is that the loonies out there often make the most noise. So as a politician if you pander to the loudest voices, you will get the most media attention. For those of you angry anti-religious zealots out there, you have my deepest apologies for whatever made you so bitter. You really should wake up and realize however that the world is just a tad bigger, and that those in power have very little interest in "Christian" ideals. Instead of casting blame on a particular group of people within the system, I think you should take a look at the system itself. Right now it's not really in your favor if you don't make over 200K a year. Can you guess why that is?
My fiance just had me look at her laptop for this today. After a fruitless (half-harted) google search I decided to put it off until later tonight.... until I decide to read/. and here it is. Does anyone have the link to the by-pass cable arrangement mention by the OP?
