"With all these different colors, it's now possible to make light-emitting diodes (LEDs) from quantum dots," says Lee. "We've come up with a process so easy you can almost do it in your garage. We can put these dots in a polymer and make thin films that are 1,000- to 2,000-angstroms thick. This means we can create precisely tuned blue or green LEDs."
Today's corporate structure has more than 2 groups involved. Excrement rolls down hill. The analysts and advisers explain the value of shipping a release this quarter or year (profit now for the quarter, later for the next quarter, then for the year... ). Upper management liens on middle management. Middle then liens on lower and supervisors. Then the developers work harder to bring it to life. Even if they do not like the product/method/model, a programmer may not be able to effect the outcome.
"Vista is going to flop." This may be the case in the short term, but MS's OEM contracts will save them in the long term. "Hello this is Ms. Patel with "insert company name, Dell, Gateway, whatever..." "Yes, I would like to purchise the 1299 special that includes the free printer and flat screen."
"Eccelent," She says.
"Just do me one favor, take out Vista."
Ms. Patel replies, "I don't understand."
I reiterate, "I do not want windows."
"Ok that will be 1499 and no printer or flat screen."
... are given jobs because of their political...
Hmm. "Outside observers are holding out hope for Chertoff's departmental reorganization announced in July. As part of the reshuffling, he hired Stewart Baker, former general counsel to the National Security Agency and a well-respected technology lawyer." I know that I feel safer with attorneys in charge of my countrys network security.
"It will work for some people, some of the time."
More people can make this work than most people realize. The World is full of very small businesses where every pennie counts and no IT support. Imagine a small office of 10 where your mortgage is on your mind everytime payroll comes due. If Google can provide word processing and eventually an office suite that is supported off ad words and a small business can just log in it would work wonders. I personally think it will be great for all the small companies and people that have a Broadband connection, and simply cannot justify shelling out the money for a suite. When you need it it is there, up to date, and just works. I would even be able to check my horrible spelling and grammar more often.
Am I missing the newest features that are not available. BGP (OpenBSD) OSPF (FreeBSD) I must be missing CARP or the redundancy features, but why not just contribute to the BSD's instead of starting your own fork?
I don't understand all this fuss is about.

You are correct; it is not a mistake that corporations who average billions per quarter with large profit margins manage to only accrue a small profit after tax. The big 4 will help them find a way to skirt any loopholes closings. The other issue that never seems to be mentioned is the actual people that are affected. Take a call center monkey making $10 USD per hour + medical and send his job oversees. Your net gain is a Wal-Mart employee that is put to task at $6 USD per hour, just enough hours not to qualify for benefits. The $6 per hour USD is also not enough to keep this person off federal assistance which raises my taxes to support him. His lack of benefits means he will eventually default on his inflated medical bill (Medical bills are inflated because insurance companies usually just pay a percentage of the total) raising my insurance rate.
"If a visitor to an ASP.NET site substitutes '\' or '%5C' for the '/' character in the URL, they may be able to bypass password login screens. The technique may also work if a space is subsituted for the slash." Is it just me, or is this a bit too simple even for script kiddiz?
Ahh the memories, My old Chevy Silverado used to have a short in the right blinker that would activate the cruise control. "Don't forget the turn signal" I would always remind my friends as we pass a car, their face would go white as gas pedal magically would drop to the floor.
The international rates are good to commonly called countries but not as much to the others.
My wife is from Argentina where the majority of her family no longer has a land lines, just cellular. My POTS carrier charges me $0.16 per minute which is not cheap. I just called AT&T because they conveniently left the rate off their site. Probably because it is $0.24 cents per minute, as a comparison Vonage is $0.22. So unfortunately my phone bill is still going to hang around $300.00 US per month for now. If I can figure out why the small CLECS are always $0.06 to $0.08 cheaper on this rate I would be much happier.
"It is estimated that 1 to 3 million illegal immigrants a year cross the Mexican border into the United States... What would you do to prevent illegal immigration?" Why not just charge Mexico 1 barrel of oil per day for each illeagal immigrant as an "Oil for Illeagals" and it will stop.

Not quite accurate "We will add at least one more beta (BETA6)to accomodate testing."
Keep in mind the past of MS. See a thing, make a minor improvement, make it your own. The storage FS issues has been a good concept, but implimation has been lacking until now with Reiser4. MS has not had a Xerox to emmulate until now.
It is a joke and will always be a problem simply due to the minor differences between countries and the inconsistencies in languages. Just offer someone from Argentina a glass wonderful concha brand wine you just bought and watch them laugh. People need to laugh and grow a thicker skin.
