Listeners nowadays can't tell the difference between a grand piano and a drum synth, you expect them to spot the difference between a live performance and a simulated copy?
Even though it may not reduce overall pollution, it centralises it to one power plant. It's far easier and cheaper to scrub emissions from one power plant than it is to scrub emissions from 100,000 exhausts.
The BBC is quite possibly the most respected news organisation in the world, I certainly don't know of any other which people worldwide will tune into in order to know what's happening.
I know that the BBC servers can field pretty much everything you throw at them, to the extent that during 9/11 they were given a pretty severe hammering and just kept ticking.
To say they have zero advertising revenue *anywhere*, that isn't bad going.
And what do you propose as an alternative from the OSS side, already integrated with all the applications you're likely to use?
MSFT has the advantage in that it has a guiding body and its own standards. OSS follows all the standards, but in their own way and with no overall concept of "This must work in tandem with that", or even a simple concept of "this must work without needing to recompile it 4 times".
Yes, give people the option to recompile 4 times should they want to, let people put things back into the trunk, but until they work together they can't touch MSFT in the workplace.
There is no OSS alternative to Microsoft's Groupware.
Platform independant doesn't make any difference, if everything works on Windows why should businesses waste time forking things over to Linux? As for scalable, the last time I had to expand a 2003 AD it took 2 hours to install and configure 30 machines - plug the raw machines into the network and leave network boot/network install to do the rest.
Linux and its variants have nothing like this just ready to go, and whilst for a lot of things Linux *could* be far superior, businesses just want to plug and go. Sysadmins for anything more than 50 desktops just want to plug and go. Linux does not plug and go.
I'm with you on this. Much as I'm not keen on MS, the SharePoint server is absolutely phenominal in terms of actually getting things done in a group. Tie it with a properly configured Exchange Server and a 2003 domain, and you have a rock solid (Yes, solid) platform for group work, communication and management that OSS can't even touch.
The last jock who tried that I put through a plate glass window. Not all geeks are skinny little kids with acne and glasses, if anything I'd say very few geeks fit that stereotype. You're thinking of the nerds.
The UK is moving from the old signature to buy over to a PIN based system, so far with great success. My only gripe is that since I'm under 18, I have a piss-poor attempt at a debit card known as a Solo card. This is by the same people who run the ubiquitous Switch cards, yet I'm hard pushed to find places which accept Solo for purchases.
The downside for me is that even though I have a perfectly working debit card, next to nowhere I buy things actually accepts it.
I'm not sure about this no-CNP purchasing though. If I find somewhere online or over the phone who accepts Solo then it works fine without my PIN, because I have to go through the trauma of giving my card details.
We had similar grading, with a number for actual attainment and a letter grading for effort. Like you, I kept scoring things like 1D and 2E. The homework just wasn't challenging enough, and I'm damned if I'm going to work solidly for 2 hours to get a 1A if I can still score the same on the attainment with only 10 minutes work.
Some (Okay, many... most then) MS users do, but not all. I have never once been infected with malware, and only once by an unknown virus. Yes, I use XP as my desktop.
That site says you have about 30 seconds at maximum cruise altitude - at that point in time surely the pilot/co-pilot will have got their masks on and at least some of the passengers will have and thus be able to help others.

Strangely enough, yes I'd agree with that. Good government is the way to go, democracy is just something to make the crowds feel involved.
That Ewok/Mac anology is the best one I've seen yet... sig!
That's a classic!
I'd reckon it makes /. look like some kid's blog.

My 9600 Pro seems to run HL2 fine (40ish FPS) on 1024x768 at full texture/model quality, full reflection, trilinear filtering and 2x AA.

I'll say it clearly:

Actually I think that the MS webservers run a UNIX variant, but I could be wrong.
If the volume and music played is identical, the 32 Ohm headphones will draw more power.
This is made exponentially worse by the fact you need to ramp up the volume to get an audiable output from an iPod on 23 Ohm headphones.

Does new grammar replace old?
You too? I thought it was just me who had my email checking 24/7.
I have to in order to keep up with the spam - if I leave it overnight with no checking then I get about 250 spams.

You sure? I can't think of a reason for them, and believe me I've been trying.
Hold shift.

There's no way I can think of to get to that size with the number 800 in any unit...

It's part of the name of the flower.
