IBM and other raised serious objections to OOXML but OOXML was pushed forward, in violation of ISO's rules. IBM, with all it's clout, could not stop it.
More importantly the procedure that ISO had in place failed everyone. ISO violated its' own rules!
No discussions, no debates, no desents. People either approved OOXML or were forced to be silent.
ISO has been rendered usless as several countries have stated that are withdrawing from ISO and setting up their own standards body.
You mean other than where he says he supports net neurtrality:
"Barack Obama strongly supports the principle of network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet."
Awesom FUD method9455, keep up the good work, jackass!
You mean like the Apple "Think Different" campaign several years ago where Apple showed a cross section of society, different people, usig Macs....
Wow, way to be cutting edge when getting you message out...what's next they're going to steal 1980's car marketing campaigns...."Oh, What a Feeling...Windows!"
No because they are already doing this! Hardly original. Researchers are already using vertical nano tubes to collect more light and researchers are already expanding beyond visible light to UV.
This is not news.
Hey jack ass, it's spam not free speech and it wasn't anonymous it was "false identification."
They guy entered a false IP address/Domain. He wasn't hiding his true IP address/Domain; which would be anonymous. He was committing fraud.
Look it up sometime.
Forgetting one important point:
The Federal government BANNED States from collecting taxes on Internet purchases, unless the company resides in your state!
That's huge. So unless Congress changes the law, each State cannot collect ANY tax on internet purchases. No one is breaking the law by not reporting the tax. However, the States are breaking Federal law.
You seem to laboring on the misunderstanding that that somehow the Market is going to solve all our problems is stupid. All Markets are interested in is money, period. Markets don't care if you have health insurance. Markets don't care if the bank forecloses on your home. Markets don't care if you have a job. Markets don't care if you are wrongfully imprisoned.
Read "The Jungle" by Uptain Sinclair sometime. Companies were perfectly willing to poison people with unclean food until the Federal government started regulating the food industry. History is full of business that did the right thing only because of government.
What, you want me to do your homework and provide sources? Get off your lazy ass and do some research!
Rob Enderle - Enough Said

· Score: 5, Interesting
The majority of this article is based on opinion from Rob Enderle. Enough said. The man is an absolute pin-head. This is the man, who stated that SCO had a case against IBM.
"so the OT and Jewish Torah should be very similar."
And this belief is based on what?
Without comparing the Christian Bible's OT and the Torah, you can't make that claim. Given the fact that some Christian Bibles do not mention Lilth being the first woman created, undermines that claim.
The Christian Bible has been edited down through the centuries and during the middle ages they had a great revision which once and for all the church leaders decided what was canon and what was not.
So what we have today is not the pristine word of god or divinely inspired but rather a work in progress written by man.
Right and that explains the crashes....the system was not free of bugs.
Which also explains why they used a programming language called JOVIAL. Nice jobs Northrop. I guess they expected the Bomber to be retire long before the language became obsolete!
"Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline."
It's not about depleting all oil reserves but the easily extracted oil reserve. There are reserves you can extract oil from but the cost of extraction will exceed revenue. Not too mention the amount of energy needed to extract the oil will be greater further driving up the cost of extracting the oil.
We've hit Peak Oil. It's a question of where we are on Hubbert's Bell-Curve.
FYI Oil companies have done vast surveys of potential oil reserves. Other than deep sea exploration - all the easily extractable reserves are known.
"but lets not bash the idea or miss the point just cause the original author's a complete bumbling moron."
No, but you are if you think that was the point of the article. First, nowhere did the author speak of "hierarchal organization systems." In fact what are "hierarchal organization systems?" Are speaking of XML? Object Oriented databases? But regardless that was not his point.
Second, "...analysis of data to show causation will come from correlation," is gibberish. It means nothing. It underscores you're profound lack of knowledge of how scientific experiments are conducted, how data from experiments are collected and analyzed. In fact you are very much like the Wired author who speaks without knowing.
It was Apple that brought personal computing to the masses. Apple was the one that started the Personal Computer. IBM followed suite and chose to use Microsoft's DOS as the OS for the IBM PC.
Thus, Apple and IBM brought the personal computer into the lives of average people. Microsoft came along for the ride on the coat tails of IBM.
So what KOOLAID have you been drinking?
Microsoft exists soley because of Bill Gates mom and IBM. Bill Gates Mom and the CEO of IBM both sat on the same board. She setup a meeting between Bill Gates and IBM. It was that meeting that allowed Microsoft to license their OS to IBM.
IF IBM HAD PASSED - THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO MICROSOFT TODAY!
A monopoly helped create another monopoly.
Well it's obvious your an idiot and by posting a comment here on slashdot you hope to make yourself feel superior. However, the contents of your comment have demonstrated why you are an idiot and why people should not listen to you.
Hey jackass, where are you going to store all the nuclear waster? In your backyard? Let's sing you up.
Do some research. The US cannot drill it's way out of high oil and gas prices. We produce 3% of the worlds oil and consume 24%. Do the math. We do not have the oil reserves.
The Feds have constantly be handing out oil permits to the oil companies to drill on Federal lands. There are approximately 68 million acres of land that is licensed for drilling but the oil companies have not drilled on! There are over 7,000 permits for drilling today and yet no more drilling.
You might want to ask big oil why they aren't drilling on the land available to them today but keep saying they need more permits.
Jackass.
I noticed you did not compare SQL Server to Oracle....that's kind of telling isn't it. I mean it's really easy to compare a product developed by a multi-billion corporation versus a product developed by a group of developers and given away for free. Hmmm....SQL Server is a FAIR DBMS. Oracle is simply superior.
And your *ahem* programming skills....please. Yeah that's why LAMP solutions are killing MS. I've programmed in Windows and in Unix/Linux. Microsoft programming tools are big and clunky and it takes alot of resources to do simple development work. Try writing code for Sharepoint sometime. The cost to do that work is ridiculous - can't do dev work on a client machine, you need to be in a server environment. So you need licenses for Win2003 server, SQL Server, Sharepoint Server + other Sharepoint add-ons plus Visual Studio and its' add-ons, then multiply that by the number of developers because you are not going to have all developers on one machine which means you will go to a virtualized environment and spec out a server that can handle that many people developing and do get to see the picture.
Seriously this is a solution in search of a problem. Not one documented case of this every happening.
So maybe the NYPD wants to have Homeland Security clear all its' terror threat announcements through them first? It's not like those don't cause a public panic!
hey jackass did you read the article! they are taking a 15% pay cut. so they have to work over-time, to makeup for the pay cut, just to get back to their old pay level.
THEY ARE NOT GETTING REWARDED FOR THE EXTRA EFFORT!
In fact some people don't work over-time and are still getting a 15% pay cut.
Nice job reading moron. I guess you are one of those chair moistening pin heads.
"International cooperation in the project is important because it is likely to carry a global-size price tag. NASA previously backed away from its own plans for a sample return mission due to budget overruns in the space shuttle programme.
"It's not an inexpensive proposition, and the ability to share the technical challenges and the costs across nations is very important for the success of this," says meeting attendee Lisa May, NASA's lead programme executive for Mars sample return missions."
I guess you tell yourself whatever you need to in order to sleep at night. You poor pathetic wretch. Vista is better than XP - keep saying that. Soon all the voices in your heard will be silent.
End like what exactly? DOJ is not the court. The DOJ can say whatever they want. They can file whatever brief they want. It's up to the COURT to make the decision whether or not the damages are unconstitutional, NOT the department of justice.

The author is talking about UNIVERSITY education not k-12!
Can people and the poster read anymore!!
The author was talking about fixing the UNIVERSITY system, saying that is failing to properly educate COLLEGE students.

Do you know what Peak Oil is?
Peak Oil:
"Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline."
It's not about depleting all oil reserves but the easily extracted oil reserve. There are reserves you can extract oil from but the cost of extraction will exceed revenue.

You might want to read books on Statistics.
Except that waist size has been shown to have a high correlation for people at risk for heart attack. So yes Virginia waist size is a valid metric.
Nice attempt at re-writing history.
