Web clients are going to stick around for a while, but but their days are already numbered.
I don't think so. I will admit that there are many things that can be done better with a thicker interface at the client side, but only assuming you have a controlled user base. The one thing you can't get, is almost immediate internet access from an application that was initially designed as an intranet application. There are many solutions we have designed as an interanet/internet solution at the same time. The same technologies will allow you to directly interface with your customer, by just turning off the more "admin" features. This technology is here to stay, as long as people have access to web browsers.
The old version wouldn't go away because the enterprise has many millions of dollars in customizations which required that technology. Why do you think that COBOL programming was a big part of fixing Y2K bugs? If the cost of maintaining an old obsolete system is fractions of the cost of converting, or programing a whole new one (which is generally what converting turns into), then you keep the old. It is simple math. There will be loads of VB6 applications running in enterprise applications for many, many years into the future. What you shouldn't see are brand new projects starting with VB6 era technologies.
Before you work on this much, you will want to consider a little formula:
F = ma
Figure out how fast you move your current light weight mouse and how quickly you start and stop (this is called acceleration). The force required increases proportional to the mass of your "mouse".
There is nothing limiting you to accessing choices using a single button. However, to use your analogy: You have the option of going through 3-6 doors to get outside, if you use your left hand. Or, if you know that your right hand is special, you can use it to get outside with only one door.
The phrase "cleaner, better designed" could also be thought of as "slower, less efficient".
If someone is going to distribute a corporate or school training video, they will get it replicated. This can be done cheaply now, with numbers as small as 1000.
But this is a standard format. DVD-9. What this means is exact backup copies of purchased DVD movies will be possible. Oh, yeah. No more re-purchasing a movie after a young kid scratches, break, melts, throws away, or othewise destroys the original movie.
Dollar per dollar (another way to say "for the same coin") a PC WILL GO FASTER than a G5. So, for the same amount as a G5 system, you will have a faster computer. This is not new news.
Come on, they couldn't carry that many post-it notes with a fork lift. There would be ETDs all around the city. But, this opens a serious question. Are the true problems with Windows stability and virus propogration due to gravelings?
Not all. Somtimes a green screen is better. And if you are shooting DV (4:1:1), green is much easier to key. But people will still wonder what all the text is behind them.
I'm also in the same situation and thinking the same thing. My old cell phone and PDA have both seem quite a few years. Verizon, "Can you hear me, now?"
My guess is that the dropping of load in such a short timeframe allowed the generators to spin up faster than the regulating systems reduced power to the generator. This would drive the frequency on the line up. Then, very quickly, the generator safeguards realize that the load of power they are generating no longer has anywhere to go and does and emergency shutdown to keep from entirely destroying the generator.
However, a doppler radar weighs more than 11 pounds. That wouldn't exactly work here. The better choice would be to design it so it climbs up to high alititude and takes advantage of the better weather and more efficient (if designed right) engine properties.
I would seriously doubt that every user of whatever app Disney wants to use need the same functionality. This means that you are tailoring the app for 300 different uses, which is just a situation for failure. I've done custom application development and customization. Sometimes, 90% of the work is figuring out what to customize to get the job done. These people have already figured out how to do their job in Photoshop, so I don't think you would have a good ROI with a custom app project.
The problem with this argument is the labor. They already have a bunch of people trained in Photoshop. To get then to run it on Linux or Windows, really isn't that much difference. It is a much taller order to get them to figure out how to do those graphical tricks they have learned or developed in Photoshop, over the last many years, in some new fangled program. Unless GIMP was made to be a Photoshop clone, using it would cost them more than Photoshop.
You really need to ORGanize your life such that what ever you attack with be completed to the end. Any decent ORGanization will only like individuals who can fORGe ahead and truly complete a task. If you just give up when you are almost done, you might as well be one of the bORG members of society.

The U.S. education system? I thought that was what was wrong with the music industry.

Yes, and tests have shown that a PC purchased with the same amount of coin will beat it. Hence, my comment.

Does Mini-Me get to use WeeOS?
No, he would have another person with an Intel box that completes the task faster and the world blows up because Macs can't keep up. :)
I wouldn't call it a Seaplane. It is a ultralight trike with a boat on the bottom. Essentially a Hang Glider with a motor and boat.
Or vice versa.
Actually Word Smith for Palm integrates very well with Word and is a better program than PocketWord on WinCE devices.

No. Your browser should launch the TIFF files into an external viewer. No longer infringement.
The DVD set with all produced episodes is coming out in December. That is in the version of the Slashdot article that I submitted.

[Whistle] Foul on the play. Trying to combine two obscure, geek references.
