If anyone wants another reason not to buy Creative anymore, two quick ones
When I bought my Muvo2 years ago, they advertised it as upgradeable to support new codecs -- never happened, can't even get the dumb remote which is required to use the advertised FM radio on the Muvo2
Creative has decided that having drivers that work for most of their cards in the vanilla Linux kernel is simply too good to be true, so they are moving a binary blob model like Nvidia. God forbid I shouldn't have to go through hoops to get hardware I paid for to work.
That's more than a generalization, that's just incorrect. Java makes use of GUI Toolkits just like many other languages. Just this morning I was taking a look at Jambi.
Microsoft has throw way too much behind this for it to fail. What I would like to see is all the sellouts gets nailed legally for their nonsense. There are a lot of people putting forth ridiculous arguments in favour of OOXML. Valid arguments are cool, but some are just plain paid for. What I would like to understand from one of these people is how ODF can survive in the face of OOXML as an ISO standard.
Especially considering that trademarks need to be actively defended. Even Patrick Durusau refers to Microsoft's format as OpenXML. OfficeOpen is just OpenOffice reversed. They are in the same product space. I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't allow an operating system called 'Pro XP Windows'
Are computers just not powerful enough for the task? Are the incapable of performing the required computations? If not, I don't see how this is the poor computers fault. On another note: I am guessing a slate of Tungten Es with custom software is out of the question.
You seem to be think more along the terms of API, protocols, hardware etc. He's commenting more a long the lines of redundant code in individual business apps. Consider, for example, how many timesheet apps must be out there.
I was a bit troubled by my inability to grasp the logic of the arguements put forward by this editor, and so I started Googling a bit to understand his background, etc. I am still going at this, but I cam across this link which others may find interesting: http://boycottnovell.com/2008/03/12/trips-to-microsoft-speculation/
Is anyone working on a clear, modern comparison of MySQL vs. Postgres? I believe the old arguments for and against both are no longer accurate: Postgres has gotten faster, and MySQL has gotten stricter.
The majority of publications are in defense on OOXML. As the editor, I would expect the majority of his publications to be about weakness in OpenDocument and how it can be improved. I am curious as to his opinion on how to competing document standards can coexist -- what's the point of OpenDocument if only 5% of people user it. And the other 95% use OOXML, in that case, OpenDocument is a total waste of time.

If one's thing sure. Pity DirectX11 will work on so few platforms.

Why should day? What's the worse that can be done to them?

I am pretty sure they already do this
It was Vista Sp1
so the concept of voting with your dollars is dead then?
I had all bust lost hope for this system of handling "IP". But this story brings me the slightest of hope.
read comments before posting, it's the right thing to do.
Because I would like my browser to interact with my machine as little as possible && and I am not at all into social networking.
But why do people in general seem to care so much about Scientology?
In Your Opinion, when was that?

Sure it's not all those bad Dell capacitors?
Hmm... how did you post that comment then? Manipulating electrons from a far are you?
Well when you put it like that, makes me feel like it's all okay.
Someone needs to give the editors a hand since somehow safari is now behind safari in this race

Doesn't make it any less of a waste. So should companies pay engineers to implement a tool to drive and remove nails?
