Google apps may load quickly, but that's because there's not much to them. For baseline use, they're fine, although I'm not sure I like Google authentication or trust its privacy.
To compare Word to Google App is to equate a 737 with a Piper Cub. I'd much rather use a Cub sometimes, but man, when you need a 737, a Cub simply will not do.
Fitting OOo into this analogy makes it a BAC-111, meaning older technology, bulky, uses a lot of fuel, but sometimes very fun to fly if the engines don't fall off. Someone needs to re-write it, stem to stern using sparse coding methods rather than trying to emulate all of the blather and bloat of Word/Office.
OMG, dude, you must be one of those lackey PDC attendees.
In reality, no one will know until pre-alpha goes to alpha then beta then RC1, then RTM, which is the usual mind-numbing release cycle Microsoft employs. We do know that the powershell mystique is now an internal addiction at Microsoft, and they love how *nix lovers seem to have not thrown rocks at them for the powershell. So we know that it'll be in there. But *links? All that stuff you list? Got some dice?
Not with so many flash cards out there these days. Flash tends to obviate the problem of where to store, and screen real estate in terms of pixels is small.
W7 is the Vista that Vista could have been. But that may be damning with faint praise.
The sheer obesity of Vista could easily have been improved upon. Somewhere, there is a coder army taking instructions from an idiot. They need to find that idiot and fire that person. Even Gates was better at direction.
Frequency of views relates to an old advertising aphorism that loosely states that ink is ink, and exposures, good or bad, are impressions that pound in the 'brand' to a target. That's why frequency is a data point.
That the 'two-party' system is unrepresentative of the populace is gist for an entirely new thread. I'd love to see a multi-party system and potential coalition governments, but this capacity, a hallmark of the parliamentary system, brings other problems with it.
No rational individual make a voting selection based on the criteria from a single publication. Bias will always be a component of what's reported.
That said, ideas, agenda, boorishness, and outright deceit will always rest on their own strength and weaknesses. Completely unbiased reporting will always be an oxymoron, just like military intelligence and justice-for-all. But we can strive for referential information transfer, exposure of bias for what it is, and encourage all to speak, but also to listen.
In terms of accessibility, Bush has been near zero, while McCain started out well, then shut down. Obama seemed to have a steady hand at access, although everyone seemed to hang on various soundbites, and twisting everyone's words, cutting clips, and generally doing sound bite management was the regular course. That sucked, too.
Perhaps it *was* responsible. Perhaps Obama's ideas had traction. Perhaps the WP, along with other papers, saw through a bankrupt agenda led by the assasination tactics of the lowest rated presidential administration in US history.
I know, did Obama 'deserve' the extra ink, better placement, and so on? The WP is but one of many papers. Where I live, the papers treated him not deferentially, but boorishly. McCain's real estate was prime, and Obama's was back-page with junior writers making stunningly silly assertions.
That there is bias is no surprise. We are a biased people. "Responsible speech" means agreeing with your stance. Nothing more.
Not at all. a US CTO isn't disciplining the states. It's disciplining the US government's current LONG list of madness in IT and perhaps communications. Infrastructure that doesn't work, contract awards that are clearly insane (but a congressman's bribery result), and so on.
The 10th isn't being ignored. It's a CTO for federal pursuits, not state. And states need systems that talk to federal ones that can't be done today, and intrastate information infrastructure is a mindlessly duplicate set of overpriced assets. The whole way we compute in government needs a fresh eye towards its citizenry.
The government has millions of computers, and you don't want someone to set policy? Look at what the mindless, out of control, dead in a ditch projects have cost us.
They're not setting policy FOR YOU, nitwit-- for the government. DO what you want. Let someone put reason into executive branch decision making in government IT!!
I understand your venom; I feel it, too. If you haven't already voted, do it. We need to heal in the US to have respect for one another again. We were lied to, consistently. Now it's time for our own regime change, done via the process we adhere to because we believe it's to be hallowed, and venerated for its capacity to make use civil.
You see, there are those of us that believe that unless directly challenged, violence is unnecessary. Part of this is the fact that we have a problem as a species with violence that dates back to a time when it was all we had to defend ourselves and engender discipline. Civility requires we examine alternates, or we all succumb to murderous and violent tendencies.
Diplomacy in various forms can work. Appeasement isn't necessarily good diplomacy. That's what Chamberlin did before WWII, where others of my ancestry fought. Some are buried in Europe. So it goes. Then, there was a direct threat.
We ignore African violence because the caucasians in power in the US aren't of African origin, and so they don't believe they have a 'dog in that fight'. In Darfur, so many have been displaced, killed, raped, maimed, and otherwise have been victims of violence as we turned away.
We went to the Balkans, where they fight wars of their ancestors dating to 400CE. We kept ethnic Albanians from certain death, after many were slaughtered wholesale.
But we supported the deaths of millions of supposed communists in Indonesia by Suharto and broad parts of SE Asia during the 1950s. These are all facts. Look them up. None of it had to happen. None of it. Fear brings about violence.
Part of the success of the United States has been internal liberty. I defend that liberty constantly. That the US government has been the perpetrator of violence across the world doesn't seem to be easily remembered by the populace. So many wars, so little time. Most of the wars not easily remembered were at the behest of protecting almighty US business interests. Never mind that innocents were slaughtered. It was the businesses that mattered and so we floated Marines into Central America, Asia, Africa, and to a much lesser extent, the Middle East.
There are some cultures that believe that violence is perfectly acceptable in terms of a societal disciplining method. Humans are treated like animals. It's amazing the don't eat people, as the regard for their lives is small. It's been that way, and the advance of civilization requires dignifying life, and reducing violence that's otherwise incumbent.
No one need answer your agenda. We do so in the quest for communications and to seek common ground. We don't whip out weapons and start shooting.
There is only rarely justification for violence of any kind. The Bush administration has abused this in the quest of fear-mongering. My long dead ancestors fought in Virginia, then years later at Antietam, Gettysburg, and so on. Some of them were caucasian.
When I got my draft card, I burned it. I'd do it again. Vietnam wasn't justified, nor was Iraq War I or II. Capturing the madmen of 9/11 is justified; they must be brought to justice, and they so far have escaped, except perhaps one.
In the interim, over 450,000 Iraqi fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, and mothers, aunts, children have been killed because of Dick Cheney's ego, and George Bush's unwitting aid to the enemy. Yes, Saddam Hussein was horrible. But then, so has been the violence of Tutsis against Hutu, the red fields of Cambodia, and so many other horrible places.
You stop violence one situation at a time. It can be done. There is no justification for taking the life of another except in self-defense. Only animals believe otherwise, not humans that can respect feelings, or choose to ignore seeming insult.
Your metaphors betray your testosterone. Yes, leaders suck. That means that conscientious objectors are heros for defying them. It takes far more guts to make diplomacy work than weapons.
As someone related to founding 'fathers', I'll tell you that they shook the British Monarchy out of a sense of fairness, not violence. They wrote a set of documents that gave the citizenry a method to hold each other in checks and balances, rather than armed borders at each state line.
No points scored for violence, it remains the last resort of those that were unable to abide by civility. That goes for Americans, that goes for everyone. You dishonor those that stole the USA from its natives. You dishonor those that fought for peace-- though it sounds like an oxymoron. You instead reduce humanity to the tribal beasts of our origins, rather than those what would seek peace rather than answer pettiness with a bullet.
Bitching and moaning is a worldwide pass-time. It's even easier to do when you won't get dunned for having done so, hence anonymity as a hallmark of the Internet. That and surfing to places where you don't want anyone to know it's really you.
In a world that's vastly more sophisticated than it once was, many have become terrible at getting rid of their stress. The need to vent and be heard is primal, and at least in the USA where I live, democracy isn't very satisfying in this regard with just two viable political parties.
It's really easy to bitch. It's much tougher and takes more bravery to do something practical about a problem. Therein lays, IMHO, the difference in people that are angry, and working on a better future.
It's possible to write a known good kernel and a matching set of registry hives (the whole thing can be dangerous) along with vmm, hiberfile and so on to DVD. Using BartsCD, one boots XP, does the restoration, and easily moves on.
There's a certain amount of sense in trying to protect groups of users, in business environments, and so on. An individual will be eventually cracked somehow on Windows. It's tougher to do on Linux, and still tougher on MacOS and xBSD and OpenSolaris.
Still, I watch everyone ignore responsibility, the ISPs and mail providers refusing to write any kind of parsers for their subscribers (fearing latency and liability) and then civilians get hurt. Sure education is a good thing. We try to tell people this. When they go to a legitimate site that's been infected with a cross-post exploit, or a truly well-crafted email, or open up an attachment from an infected friend, relative, or colleague, they're beaten.
IMHO, for Windows users, they've come to accept that they're going to get infected and must then remedy the problem. I protect a few of them by using a cd/dvd of my own design with their stuff on it, so that it takes less than a half-hour to do the repair from beginning to end. There's no use in educating someone when they go to, say, an ancestry site that has a browser exploit in it that can sail right through AVG, Norton, or McAfee, as recently happened to five of my relatives. Same damage, same exploit, same site was the common denominator. When I went to the site, the site didn't bother my machine, likely because someone fixed the problem, maybe unwittingly.
Minimizing is important, sure. But nothing is foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
Because you'll be p0wn3d in no time. Trust what? AV libraries are mostly behind the times and can't smell subtle variations. They suck, generally. Test after test shows just how bad they are.
There doesn't have to be an infinite number of obfuscations. Just one will do. That's why trusting any code can be simply stupid. Anything can get infected, there are tons of vectors.
Getting disinfected doesn't necessarily work, either. Usually the initial infection vector still exists (the hapless user). The odd thing about computers is that you can enslave them to continue to make attempts 24/7, in huge variations. Patience is a virtue, but I've watched brute force attacks render highly-protected servers and workstations quivering in just seconds. It takes talent, boredom, tenacity, and a greed motive. There are stupendous numbers of people fitting just that profile.
Quarantining code is folly. Active and varied defenses and re-writes and restores to RO media help. If Windows, then even more techniques are mandatory. I scape so much crap from friends and relatives machines that I've got BartsCD built for most of them. I just re-write the registry after active scans, and re-write kernel, vmm, browser crap. Then I shutdown the ports that have been opened after finding out what can opener was used. Then I swear a little, accept the free beer, and move on.

CIte your authority. NTFS is partially journaled as well.
I smell a rat.
FS like ext3 can be partitioned in any number of usable ways for streams; a 1.5TB drive isn't that large.
And it wasn't that long ago that NTFS couldn't be used on a volume larger than 4GB.... then 32GB.
And additionally, take your 235 Microsoft patents violated and cite them, too.
Google apps may load quickly, but that's because there's not much to them. For baseline use, they're fine, although I'm not sure I like Google authentication or trust its privacy.
