While I can understand Winer's POV, he often let's his emotions overcome him and pummels things into the ground. That just demonstrates his dedication in one respect, but it often seems to overcome his objections and cloud his judgement
Boy, that's an understatement. The guy's just an arrogant ass. A smart one, but an ass none the less. While he manages to come up with some good ideas, he just can't play well with others. He often switches between co-opting or viciously attacking them.
Try agreeing with him on something and then attempt to refine the discussion. God help you if you attempt to fault his logic.
And as for his interaction with other vendors, it seems he's pissed them all off. Wonder why? Read his website; see how many times he tells the so-called BigCo's to "fuck off". Yeah, that's the way to get people to work with you...
Cultural change against bullying must come from the kids themselves. Perhaps they need to think of themselves as a cohesive group with a common interest and goal.. in which case, resistance against the curtailment of everyone's rights would be a good option.
That's all well and good but you forget, the kids haven't developed a level of understanding about cohesion, common interests or goals. By the time they figure that out they've already suffered the abuse. So now what, smart guy?
Stop fostering abuse. Stop micromanaging abberations in behavior. It's not hard to understand what bullying is. This is where the parents and teachers need to focus.

What whining! The only way to beat MS at this game is to make AND ship something better with the same level of marketing. BE better and SHOUT about it. Can't afford to do that? Then go sniveling off into the corner.
Even if the Nintendo article is a fake is does point out that the retail channels need to exist and they need pull-through support from the vendors AND the customers.
Of course, this gets neglected by vendors like MS and Apple. Time and again the marketdroids keep forgetting that someone has to actual work in the retail store and SELL the damned stuff. It's not enough to just have a "good product" and expect the world to beat a path to your online store.
But the computer industry keeps fucking this up, time after time after time. Yet it survives. Go figure.
With all this bullshit about 'free' wireless what if someone wants to run a legitimately private network on these frequencies? All these freeloaders running around will have totally saturated the available bandwidth. Worse yet, what happens when one of these 'free' access points starts acting up and ruining the neighboring cell of a private customer? Or overlaps one that's already present? Get some air folks, wireless is a mess and 802.11b is not ready for this kind of use. But, you'll learn...
Yeah, need another example? The Newton. Some truly revolutionary software was completely shuttered when Jobs shit-canned the division. Of course there are other failures like General Magic, Taligent and more. Equally too proprietary to release freely but not good enough to sell to the masses.
Yes, the iSCSI protocols from Cisco, IBM and others are going to make a big dent in FC applications.
It won't dent your network traffic if your core switching is using 10gb Ethernet and QoS protocols. Even a correctly structured 1gb Ethernet switch network would work.
Yeah, believe what you want. Things might get invented somewhere but success lies in IMPLEMENTING it.
Computers, airplanes, VM, television, radar, radio, sonar, WWW and the telephone. ALL implemented more successfully by Americans than anyone supposedly inventing it.
Why? Freedom.

Ken, you can do a lot of this right now using the Exchange 2000 server. You'll be able to do a lot more of it with the upcoming Sharepoint server (beta Tahoe). It's wicked cool. Beats the stuffing out of DocuShare.
The Exchange 2000 server does this now. Out of the box it support sharing the entire server tree of folders and mailboxes as network mountable drive volumes. You can directly read/write/delete to any of the folders (or items) in the Exchange server. Provided you have permissions, of course.
This is because NT supports Installable File Systems. The Exchange server links into this and thus allows anything that can access files to see the data. It's based on WebDAV.
Oh wake up. The US is head of productivity world-wide. With no "state sponsored" training programs. Look at the countries that do have state sponsored training programs. They're not number one.
Are they outta their minds? $289 for a pair of foot pedals? And that web site, talk about lame. There's nothing that explains the operation of the device. Save for one for mouse, one for clicks. Yeah? How to click, hold, double-click?
I think I'm going to hack up a gamepad with some arcade-style buttons on a box and put it on the floor. I figure a forward/back on one foot and side-step on the other. Get the foot motion back where it belongs, on the feet.
Has anyone made something that uses your feet? Not just the accelerator/brake gadgets for racing. It would seem like a useful idea to have a foot activate set of 4-point hat switches. One for each foot. I've seen something like this on stand-up arcade games for skiing. Nothing for PC use. Anyone make such a device?
What I'm concerned about is multiple users. From what I recall the BeOS doesn't understand being multiuser. That and there's no networked user identity concept like NT domains, ADSI, LDAP or NetInfo.
Has this changed? Does BeOS now support multi and network user identities?
I feel sorry for the poor bastard at feedback@amazon.com. The inbox for this account has gotta be overflowing with complaints.
This is a stupid idea. People don't like to be 'watched' and vehemently protest it.
What if you buy something "objectionable" to someone else? Would you want your spouse/boss/coworkers to know what you're reading?
Now, picture this, a book is shown as purchased at your domain. Your 'management' is upset by this revelation. They crawl all over the IS department to FIND the bastard that bought this book. If they can't find the person then what? They'll most likely implement some draconian filter/blocking mechanism.
Of course, if they DO find the person, what else are they going to find in the reams of log files they had to read?
It never ceases to amaze me how fucking stupid marketing people are.
Slashdot Mirror
Bullshit. A digitizer card doesn't offset the price enough to make that a reasonable excuse. Nor does tacking on a bezel, stand and power supply.
That would go even less toward explaining the gouge job done on the TV units.
Oh and yeah, it's slashdotted the crap outta my server.
Names nothing, if they're wearing a red shirt and they've never appeared in another series or movie then they're dogmeat.
Do you know what I think about Dave Winer having his work basically stolen by Microsoft?
He deserved it.
Amen to that! I can't believe the number of times good ole Dave said "fuck you" to a vendor. Literally; on the web page.

Wake the fuck up. There's multiuser support in Beos. Not to mention there's no way to scale.
