Why would anyone in their right mind set up a Web/SQL platform using MS products?
My name is Maximus Decimus^W^WBill Gates, ex-commander of the Armies of Redmond, General of the MS Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Steve Ballmer. Father of a murdered operating system. Husband of a bloated Office Productivity Suite. I shall have my vengeance, in this web or the next.
Apart from a few niche Web 2.0 sites, most websites are still built using tried and tested backend tech, and laid out using HTML, CSS and some graphics. GWT is pretty much doing everything using Javascript and a little bit on the server side serving xml/json. Not everyone needs AJAX. Most sites need to be able to work without it (for accessibility, backwards cinpatibility and non-javascript visitors), so unless its capable of adding really useful features (cases of which are few and far between) AJAX and GWT are just not necessary. Its nice if you can have it, but its a luxury you don't actually require for a usable website / web application.
My guess is a browser with a vnc plugin, that does sound, etc. - vnc connects to their "cloud" server - probably subscription based ala apples MobileMe.
No I'm afraid the turtle escapade did not go quite as planned. Requesting a vet and some extraction tools. I submit that next time we grease the turtle and not the tubes. TTYL
Igor! Just the man I was looking. I have fallen badly from a/. comment and now I need some stitching on the left leg. Seem to be missing a patch of skin off my arm too.
Sorry about your turtle, John. We'll get you a new one. Or maybe some Japanese Fighting Fish? They are fun until they start programming your VCR and recording Leno.
Then most likely and unfortunately you are blaming the USB stick itself when you should be blaming the crappy filesystem in use on it.
What's worse is that USB keys are generally unreliable. If you're running your OS off one with all of the data I can easily imagine some important blocks becoming unaccessible in 6-12 months. As it is, I won't store anything I don't have backed up on one of these things.
Chances are that its not the keys, its the FS. It sucks that you lost data. But learn your lesson - don't use FAT next time. Reformat as soon as you get it.
Were they formatted as FAT/FAT32 (usually the default) ? Or something more robust. Anecdotal yes, but I've only lost data off them a couple of times and its been off FAT formatted ones both times.
My point (I guess I should have included those pesky sarcasm tags) was not that voting is the solution, but that voting is supposed to be the solution, and having the average citizen paying to get stuff done instead of voting is an utterly farsical.
If voting is not working, then lobbying by the average citizen isnt going to work either. Perhaps its time for Plan B. Why even have politicians if voting for them achieves nothing that you actually want or need? Why pay their salaries? They take time out of our busy schedules with their canvassing and bought laws that they pass.
Either vote in someone that counts or do away with the political circus altogether. But giving more money to them is definitely not the solution.

Unless ... its a secret ploy to beat MS and Google at their fangled online health databases! hah!

Bubble 2.0. The burst is coming. See it live on slashdot.tv.
Nuke it from orbit! (Just to be sure)
Er. Thats not the comment I meant to reply to ...

So basically, Vista murders your disks? Steve Ballmer should be worried. Didn't they put Hans Reiser in jail for something like this?

Makey uppy words ftw!

Well. It cant be hard for a computer to be better at it than Bush. And the Japanese practically run the place anyways. Good on you Wii!
Indeed. Its turtles all the way down.
I'll vote for kodos!

You can stick it wherever you like.

Typed like a true emacs user. Heretic!
