And you still would have a deficit of 1 trillion in the current budget even if you cut every last dollar out of defense. Get a sense of proportion. It will be the entitlement programs that bankrupt the U.S.
Industry has the same problems. Try to change out IE 6.0 because of security issues in any large organization with investment in its sclerotic infrastructure and you will be met with, "Yes, well, security is your problem, now fix the problem and let us continue using IE 6.0".
Government IT "professionals" come from industry IT "professionals", government managerial "professionals" come from industry "professionals". PHBness seems to come with the territory.
Or I should say, PHBness comes from Business School Product. They are clueless, pointless, pitiless and their sole goal in life is make money and retire early. There is no love of science, technology, math or education in them. They understand little about technical issues and they resent you because you do. Not only that, you can make their lives difficult by bringing up issues that will screw up their reports. You, as an educated IT professional, must be sandboxed or worse, eliminated.
I see. So if we did nothing to react, security wise, to 9/11, the terrorists would say, yep, been there, done that, no point in doing it again. They hit all the targets worth hitting right? They made their point?
Or the Philippines, or Thailand, or Kashmir, or India, or Indonesia, or Nigeria, or Israel, or Saudi Arabia, or Egypt, or Morocco, or Algeria, or Chechnya, of Dagastan (sp?), or Russia, or Pakistan, or Afghanistan, or Somalia, or Spain, or Britain.
Now, for the big question, what do all these cases have in common? Think hard now? Which well-adjusted, 21st century group of like-minded homicidal maniacs has a problem with the people living in these areas?
Yes and no. Yep, we could use that money for other things. On the other hand, if the terrorists get a nuke and New York goes foom, I'm guessing the U.S. expenditures and effort on security get seriously upgraded. If you believe they will do it regardless of how hard we try to stop them, then you should start saying your prayers now, it will help prevent the logjam later.
Or you could make suggestions about what should we do to make the Islamic terrorists happy. Well, in the Koran it say infidels should pay taxes to the Muslims for the privilege of being allowed to live. And the Al Queda (sp?) at least believes this. How much are you willing to contribute? Think hard now, we don't want to upset the little fellers.
Maybe Saudi Arabia and the Oil States would make them happy. You won't mind paying...well, what will you be willing to pay them? Don't forget they believe you owe them for your life. Surely that should be worth quite a lot for you, right?
Now you have to ask the question: are you feeling lucky?
Yep, and this is what happens when you take a system and run it to the peak of efficiency. There is no slack left so the least perturbation results in the system....masterbating as the harmonics roll backward and forward across it.
What IBM meant to say was that with the obscurity provided by The Cloud, more resources can be moved out of the US and somewhere, anywhere, where they can get a better tax and salary deal. The Cloud IBM is referring to is not the cloud of cloud computing, it the Cloud of Global Management where resources can be shifted to the area of Least Responsibility.
You are correct; I did misread your statement, sorry about that. The legal standing of the Linux community, by which I presume you mean, Linux and Linux flogging companies, is probably something MS is using to help convince them to paying tribute and taxes to MS. Maybe I should phrase that as the *unclear* Linux standing; but the only one making it unclear is MS itself.
You have clearly lost your mind. A room full of people tweeting, tootling, talking on the phone, and in general making noise will be an office that fails to do any productive work. This would be an office for people with ADHD disorder; it would be perfect for our current crop of "students" who seem to think that one can "multitask" and still think deeply about anything. This is an environment for Business School Product who could never spend 3 days solving a math problem because bright objects on their desks keep distracting them. This an environment for those who graduated from universities who were more intent on merely getting through instead of learning substantial concepts. This is an environment for PHBs those who aspire to be PHBs because to do any real work, as opposed to look like doing real work, is anathema.
In short, it would be pure, fucking Hell...and I hope you are condemned to it.
And the running joke among Democrats was the Bush was a Nazi as well as the rest of the Republicans, that wasn't over the top was it? Just a bit of Democrat hyperbole? Or was it more a sinister campaign to derail anything Bush was for?
Both parties do it, it simply has now gotten obnoxious enough for all to see. If you go back to Lincoln's era, the politics was just as nasty. Politicians do it when they have nothing to contribute but are afraid their opposition does.
Unless windows runs like a drunken slug on ARM that is. So far, MS has needed the extra horsepower to make up for the bloat. It also isn't clear that MS is intending to port windows to ARM. They run XP on Atoms for the reason that 7 tends to squish them flat.
MS already has such a group; MS Research. They've bought the souls of computer scientists around the globe, I imagine their output does go into MS products. We don't see their output because most research is small research. Consumer paradigms don't really come from computer scientists; it's not in their DNA because they are in the trenches doing the grunt work necessary for advances. Consumer paradigms come from more arts and humanities driven people. The obvious reason can be seen in the responses by the/bots above claiming the ipad doesn't give them multiple Os. It isn't what THEY would design. What THEY would design comes out as something like Linux. Wonderful OS, and completely useless for Ma and Pa Kettle. They want an iPad they can program, does wi-fi, phone, TV, refrigeration, heats water, runs on solar cells, urinates on and refreshes their rose bushes. And you know what, it would put Rube Goldberg to shame.
"HP return to its old greatness and produce great products" this is not possible under Mark Hurd. The man only understands how to rearrange deck chairs, he has not taste for actual research to produce new markets. He'll be forever chasing markets claimed by others.
HTC doesn't give a flying rat's ass about their standing in the Linux community. They chose Android because it was a ready fit for their phones and the price was right. MS found a way to raise that price. They probably gave HTC access to a few crappy MS baubles and trinkets in return.
There'd be no point, SCO has only vapors of operating cash with which to pay anyone. By the time the current crop of lawyers munch through that (and SCO did a deal with Boies and the rest of his imps to carry on through to the bitter end), there's nothing short of jail from criminal offenses that could be wrought upon their heads. Currently, it is a civil case. I'd like to see criminal cases brought, but I'd also like to see the current judge investigated for malfeasance.
In general, the civil court system needs additional courts that only deal with technical cases with technically trained judges, then the courts could concentrate on the law rather than wondering what the hell is a.h file and how it is different than a.c file. That wouldn't have stopped SCO but it would have moved the cases along a lot faster. The court system also needs a good spring cleaning. The whole notion that one can shop for sympathetic judges is an abomination and leads to nutjobs like the region in Texas used for IP whores. It allows Delaware to become the state of choice to incorporate in because any time some company gets caught with their tail in a crack, they can always run to their "home" state for redress or escape. This would require federal legislation to be passed by a bunch of lawyers masquerading as politicians to streamline their gravy train. Everyone expecting this to happen please stand on your head.
Not quite as pathetic as the current judge, however. Given the lengths he went to in order to help SCO along during the trial, it is not beyond reason for SCO to hope that the judge simply hands them the copyrights. And it isn't beyond plausibility the current judge is enough of an idiot to actually hand them over. He's been in SCOs corner since day one, good thing the jury wasn't.
I think there is something a bit odd by calling computers a free market. It is similar to the car market. There's not a lot of difference between Ford and GM, but there is between Ford and Mercedes. Ford and Mercedes both sell cars, but they are not interchangeable. I don't see a lot of difference between HP computers and Dell computers, both run the same software and they appear interchangeable, the free market more or less works if we forget about the nutlock MS has on them. There is a big difference between HP and Apple, their computers are not interchangeable. So one couldn't really call it a free market, but it doesn't have anything to with lack of competition. Some markets are balkanized in way that breaks one of the assumptions for a free market.
As others have noted, Apple isn't doing anything other manufacturers don't do. A business reason Apple might want to restrict their sales outlets is that they wish to sell computers in Japan. However, if retailers in Japan, which is known for backroom mutually recursive backscratching, decide to lower the prices they charge for Apple's products to drive Apple's stores out of business, then Apple would naturally see this as threat.
Maybe you could apply to Apple and let them know you have a new secret for them to be successful in their own markets. I'm sure they'd listen to you.

If you are including the memory with that hardware, it is not Turing complete. Turing completeness requires an unbounded tape. The fellow arguing it isn't Turing complete because of app store moderation has never read a theory of computation book.
