I'm going to ask how you knew it was an American and not simply someone speaking English. You must be joking? You've got a collection of quite identifiable accents. Well, so do we (Aussies) and English themselves - with a little practice, you could identify the region of the country as well.
(Visual C++'s IntelliSense just fell over after about 2 hours of using it and never came back, and refused to give any information on any library - not even the standard C++ libraries.)
Visual C++ has a nasty habit of having IntelliSense just randomly break. If you close VC++ and delete the project's.ncb file, it'll regenerate the IntelliSense data and *sometimes* it'll start working again. And often it won't. Deleting ncb makes the same kind of sense as expecting Ctrl+ScrollLock to make the file search work.:)
The shock comes from China's promise to bolster freedom of expression and human right during the Olympic Games when Beijing was chosen a few years ago. I'm amazed, amazed I tell you! that anyone actually believed that they would do that. Discounting the IOC, who had their snouts so far into the feeding trough that they never heard what anyone was saying.
Wanting to use the apps you like is not "no reason".
Office 2007 and VS 2008 are Microsoft apps, written by Microsoft for Microsoft operating systems, dependent on Microsoft protocols and which write Microsoft formats that aren't open for other platforms.
Why so they are. Although Office runs on OSX, and Office writes formats that other manufacturers office applications can read. (doc, xls)
VS 2008 is designed for Windows, in much the same way as Xcode is designed for OSX, and other dev products are designed for their respective platforms. What's your point here? You can get cross-platform tools that perform to the lowest-common-denominator of all platforms. Good luck with that.
which is why the states is headed for recession (some say) and the eu isn't yet, which also means the fed will probably drop rates again, which means a dollar will be worth less shortly What happens when you run out of room to drop rates? (0%) Call me curious about that. I suppose you could go negative, because actual rates charged for things like mortgages, credit cards etc are an offset from the official rate. Many other countries (EG Oz for one are increasing their rates to reduce inflationary pressure, and this likely is having an effect on the dollar exchange rate. (makes more sense to invest in cash bonds etc where the rates are higher, so the AUD goes up against US)
After this camper gets shot in the head, I like to watch the angry guy who I fragged like 4 times shoot up my dead body in rage and stand statue while he types something obscene.
I then usually quip, "Not dead yet! Go back and shot me some more!" You should both go to the quartermaster's office and requisition a life. I tried that, but they only had wrong sizes.
The only thing you can do to an airplane now is blow it up. But, you don't even need to do that by suicide if you don't want to, so why would you? If you're a sociopathic maniac wouldn't you rather live and extend your reign of terror? In the US we have a policy against negotiating with terrorists, so you can't hijack to have demands met for release either. So, curiously, the 9/11 attacks dried up hijacking as a viable means of anything.
Not quite anything. They've managed to make us implement security, which is an inconvenience and an added economic cost to us all. They don't have to do anything for it to be kept in place, either, but can move on to their next social/economic act of sabotage.
>Many articles somehow neglect that much of the initial offer was funny-money, aka MSFT stock, which MS prints on demand.
You got proof of this? If not you know I could charge you with a felony! The SEC does not take kind to this type of talk because it is called talking up or down a stock. The real reality is that Microsoft offered a deal where the takeover would be up 50% cash, and 50% Microsoft stock. Secondly nowhere has Microsoft said that the stock would be the result of a stock issue. The SEC takes what is said on/. seriously? Really? You got proof of this?
> These so-called pension funds are likely part of that approach and just softening up Yahoo
Again you got proof for this? If not then you are definitely slandering again. Another felony...
Wannabe lawyers
> is that Microsoftologians are likely to try to replace Yahoo's board. Poisoning the press against the board is a first step
Wow you just dont stop do you? The reality is that yes Microsoft is trying to challenge the board since the person they hired to handle this negiotiation is known to manage hostile takeovers. BTW Oracle does this all the time, like when they took over PeopleSoft. The reality is that the board is overstepping their boundaries and they are doing things that are not in the interest of the Yahoo shareholders. Microsoft is offering a 62% premium pricing Yahoo at a valuation of around 60 PE, which is an outrageous amount. Google on a PE valuation right now is cheaper than what Microsoft is offering Yahoo. The board is asking for 40, which is a PE of 95. 95 is completely outrageous!
It is outrageous, so what do MS know? Why aren't you accusing their management with being sloppy with shareholder funds, for making such outrageous bids?
>Quite a few shops would stop or drastically decrease use of MS products without MS Exchange. Zimbra is currently not GPL. Buying Yahoo would allow Zimbra to be put on ice as MS did with FoxPro
Again you got proof? You are making allegations because MS did something with one product. I could prove you wrong when Microsoft takes over companies with two notable examples being FrontPage and Visio. Both of these products were purchased and they were anything but buried in the Microsoft hierarchy.
So you want to carp and criticise[1] when MS do not close their security holes, and when they do, but it blocks the way AV manufacturers use Vista currently? Seems you want to have your cake and eat it.

Strike the word online, too. This could happen in RL, without benefit[1] of Facebook or any of the other online toys we use.

Most childrens parents have jobs, many of which are full time, so there will be times when the children are at home alone with a computer. And even if the parents were at home, it'd be impossible for them to stand looking over their kids shoulder at what the kid is doing. You're damn right parents have jobs and I believe watching their kids is one of them!
Webfilters to block websites don't block them all, are usually easily circumvented and kids will pretty much always know more than their parents about this kind of stuff (most parents don't sit reading slashdot and keeping up to date with this stuff). Keep in mind that by "kids" and "children" these article usually mean teenagers, who are generally more aware of how the computers work than the parents. If kids were so computer savvy why does Myspace have so many punch the monkey and get a free iPod ads? Until they're hacking they won't be able to get around most filter/monitoring products. Google is their friend. Google for bypass netnanny, follow instructions. Whilst they are at it, google for filter ads, and they can get rid of punching monkeys and seeing if their iq is greater than Bush...
Now for a tough question: how to convince the Oz government that filtering at the ISP is not a good idea, without having oneself labeled a paedo...

Just look at them, , and add the misconfigured server's domain and the spammer's domain to your blacklist. (which *doesn't* bounce the emails back)

Sigh. The world is full of people who seek 'closure'. Well, the world isn't really like that...
Your rant did far more to bring Oz into the thread than the previous post possibly could have.

No, slap them with a suit! Damn you Dilbert, that image isn't going to go away quickly.
Apple doesn't care. It isn't a cute toy that Jobs can hold up at his next Apple conference.

Gazumping isn't a good idea for employees. Creates ill-feeling.investor extends sheep or sheep extends investors ? I'd punt for the latter. Not that I'm saying I want to punt sheep. (I'm an Aussie, not a Kiwi)
