What is the purpose of trying to slow down somebody at the console anyway? That seems stupid to me. I am at the console, I can always unplug the thing and take it home if I want.
GW has to do that to take the edge off if his actions. I don't think it reflects his true beliefs. You have to consider that there are more muslims in the US then jews (by a little bit). Although he has won some of the jewish vote for coming down hard on the iraqis and the palestenians and refusing to critisize israel he has lost all the muslim vote. He is just trying to convince a tiny percentage of the muslims to vote for him.
The old testament is more glamorous no? Jonah, moses, babylon, smiting, raping, killing, stoning, and of course the ten commandments. The new testament is just a bunch of broing pansy pacifist shit about peace and love (except at the end of course where it gets nasty again).
Nobody cares if you put a manger scene in your yard. I and others get upset when our govt uses tax dollars and puts it on govt property.
What I would like to see is the govt put up satanic and wiccan displays to give the other side equal time. Oh and also muslim displays during ramadan and hebrew displays too. While we are at it I am sure the scientologists would like to put up something or another, hey you never know Tom Cruise might show up too!.
Seems like a silly statement to say just because evolution has some flaws that the only other logical choice is the god of the christians/jews. I mean couln't the flying spaghetti monster be the creator?
WHat do you mean windows is not buggy? I can't delete a file, I look at the list of open files and there is nothing there. I close all my programs and I still can't delete it. I kill off all unneeded services and I still can't delte the file. I reboot and I can delete the file. Are you telling me that's not a bug?
I delete an shortcut on my desktop and it takes two minutes of flying folders icon animation. That's not a bug?
I install a software and it causes my entire machine to lock up. That's not a bug?
windows explorer mysteriously dies, blanks my screen for a few seconds, and then re-draws my screen and I need to launch the explorer again, that's not a bug?
I mistype my passowrd for the third time and it takes five minutes for windows to tell me that I don't have the right password, that's not a bug?
This is all with windows XP SP-2. WIndows is full of bugs. Sure it doesn't crash as often as 98 but it's still buggy.
One final point. windows 3.1, 92, 98, and me were all chuck full of bugs they were still popular.
.MAC has calendar as well as file sharing, disk storage, web pages and syncing with your PDAs and Mac. Yahoo already has a calender, address book and all kinds of other features.
Do you have any firsthand experience with using the ASP.NET under linux (using mono I presume). Does it really work "just fine", does it work well enough to put into production on a heavy site?
I don't know but given that java is proven to work on linux (and other unix platforms as well as windows) I don't know if any business would risk using mono on a production web site.
Finally since MS has patents on the ASP.NET platform a company would open themselves up for a patent infringement lawsuit for deploying on mono. The risk may be small (for now) but I don't know too many legal departments who would approve of such a project when a patent free solution is available.

Another reason was because you could learn from other people. I don't know how many times I have hit view source to learn how the author did something or another.
HTML was open source and simple source. That's a powerful combination and a lesson waiting to be learned.
You seem to be confusing "could be" with "is". Yes this "could be" all sorts of things but it's not a security hole. It doesn't even crash the browser, it just slows it down for a while.
In this case any possible benefits there may have been with a smooth transfer were outweighed by the risks that you could do something harmful.
It's apparent they didn't need your assistance for a smooth transfer and really didn't need you to be there at all. They gave you two weeks pay to get you out of their hair while they went on with their business.
Now you get a two week paid vacation or you can start your new job early. If I were you I would head on over to the golf course unless of course you live in a frigid place in case head to the ski hills.
Interesting. So what you are saying is the we should be investing more in our schools right here at home. I think that will be hard to do to given all the rhetoric against "liberal intellectual elite" and such. When people who actually bother to get educated get called communists and terrorists and when the president of the country deliberately speaks at a fifth grade level to distance himself from the education he supposedly received at yale you can't expect much investment in education can you?
MS has no loyalty to the US. They like most multinational corporations don't give a flying fuck about any country. They just want the cheapest labor they can get. One day a country like libya or something will allow slavery and MS will move their operation there and buy 7000 slaves to do their bidding.
That's the way capitalism works. We have to learn to deal with it.
I suggest hitting back by organizing a boycott. It's the only weapon you have as a consumer but you have to be willing to do without and counter all the programming in your brain from the advertising companies. Needless to say both of those are pretty difficult so you probably won't be too successful.
No matter how you cut it that's 7000 less high paying, easy on teh environment tech jobs in the US. The indians can work cheap because their economy is supported by indentured slavery and child labor. I too could afford to work two dollars an hour if my house was built by people who worked for pennies, and the bricks were made by people who were sold to the brickmaker and my clothes were made by 10 year olds working 15 hours a day and my garbage was taked away by untouchables.
The worst thing that can happen to India is to raise the level of human rights there, all the IT jobs would move to china.
I hate to break it to you but GWB did indeed get a lot of free adversiting in Iraq and all that advertising helped him win two elections and gain a republican majority in both houses.
GWB may be reviled in most of the world and by a lot of americans but his campaigns in Iraq and afghanistan helped him with his base and helped him win an election.
On a side note 9/11 was the best thing to ever happen to GWB. Before that he was seen as a bafoon who was destined to serve one term and then retire. Now he is seen as a bafoon who served two terms, embraced torture, invaded two countries, ran the economy into the ground, and destroyed american credibility and moral leadership all over the world. But hey he did server two terms.
RAND licencing basically means open source projects are not able to implement this feature. I don't know of too many open source developers who can afford to pay licensing fees to MS. I suspect that there are patents out there and that MS will price them just above what the open source developers can afford. That way they can be non discriminating and still be a "standard".
This is why ECMA is a joke. ECMA should not allow patented standards. It's an oxymoron.

The biggest untold story in this saga is the refusal of bit anti-virus software makers to detect and report this software as a virus/trojan.
This means in the future content providors will be able to install anything they want without interference from the anti virus makers.

Yes but what about the patents? Are they granting a blanket patent protection? Also what will they do to GPLed product that uses these extensions?
