I'm not sure a job at Google is exactly the "holy grail". Getting bought out is often nice. The question is, would they buy it or just develop it themselves.
On a side note. I've often wondering for the people with interesting ideas in side Google, how well they are compensated vs if they'd done the same thing outside of Google. Granted within Google there is less risk for them, so I wouldn't expect one for one, but it would be interesting to compare.

No you need something like: while (Peek_Future() != crash) { Full_Speed(); }
Presumably your Full_Speed call would generate an exception if Crashed was true. And with some skiers, Crashed could very well be true before you get to call Full_Speed;-).

It's not the fact that it's shipped with the OS and share components. The problem is that by default, users run as administrator aka root.
Changing that would go a long way. But that will take more than just Microsoft. It will take all those software companies that don't bother to test their software on anything other than an admin account

All those eyes haven't created stellar software. Why should I believe all those eyes have created something solid from a security standpoint.
Quantity is not enough, you have to have quality. Open source software isn't any better than most commercial software I've seen as far as quality, so I doubt it's any more secure

Because they know with Google's resources they'd get trounced. I had an idea for a service, but for the six months of my effort and funds to bring it to market Google would be able to squash it in less than a month. It's not worth it for me to do it given the risk.
That's not Google's fault. It just comes with the fact that you're big.

Either way, the software produced trumps anything put out by many commercial vendors.
Honestly I've not been impressed with either commercial or open source software. Both sides seem unable to create well designed maintainable software.
In the end, what matters to me is performance. FireFox definitely wins in that category. However, I wonder how FireFox & Thunderbird running at the same time stack up against Mozilla suite when performing web browsing and e-mail functions. I'd rather have one process doing that work than two processes. Essentially you'd be running two instances of the Gecko engine. There are the side benefits of two process, though. If the browser crashes, it doesn't take down your e-mail with it or visa versa. That's a pretty attractive benefit as well.
For me, I use FireFox at work, because I don't need e-mail. At home I've been using the suite as I use both e-mail and web broser.
What's also interesting is that most of the core is the same in both apps. It's only the UI shell and some components that differs. They're both using the Gecko engine.
Would this really be ANY sort of issue at all if it weren't so darned profitable for some people that we emit a bunch of greenhouse gases?
Think about this. It's also profitable for some to "solve" such environmental problems. The tech needed to remove pollutants from emissions isn't free. There's a lot of companies that have a vested interest in see the global warming theory advanced.
Me, I'm going to invest in beach front property in the Antartic. Anyone know the number of a realtor?

When Netscape was using Talkback I found it quite useful. It provided stacks that often pinpointed errors. It was also good for identifying problems quickly. Reports were provided that identified top crashers. And there's little substitute for crashes that are hard to impossible to reproduce due to hardward and software variations.
For talkback or Win32 minidump you don't need to build debug either. You just build with symbols in a release mode and then strip off the symbols before you ship. Save those symbols and source together and it's pretty easy to get back. Talkback will actually take the debug symbols and map them back when the reports come in. For Win32 you can bring up the minidump in a debugger and view the source at the crash site as well as memory depending on how the mini dump was configured.
I've used Win32 crash info IP and stack data to reconstruct a crash. It's not all that difficult if you have the source to the build that crashed.
But space is really what? Who can really know? We are inside. It may be nothing more than a fixed volume inside a larger universe and everything inside is just shrinking and giving us the illusion that space itself is growing.
And that's what I've always found facinating about various theories scienist put forth. We're part of the system we're trying to observe. Our observations are going to be affected by that very fact.
For instance how do we really know it took 13 billion years for that light to travel. Maybe it was much longer, or shorter. The medium it is traveling in is supposedly expanded, so at the very least, the distance is probably more than 13 billion light years.
Where do you draw the line? Should they go to the effort so I can file a claim from my cell phone's browser? I'm sure a lot of people are really going to be upset that they can't file a claim using their cell phone's browser
What I wonder, is how many people that are in trouble even have access to a computer?
I think at this point, a web site for filing claims just augments the traditional paper forms. If for whatever reason you can't use it, there's alternatives. I just don't think the web is all that important in this case.
Forget Linux, just install all your apps into directories other than the defaults and they'll be completely lost and unable to find anything.

This is largely because of the simplicity embedded in the unix complexity (one of the biggest complaints I see about unix is its "too-hard" nature, but when mastered my experience has been you can script and automate so many unexpected scenarios easily, something not so readily available in Windows).
That's a good point. Just diving in an setting up a system, I find Windows much easier. But on an ongoing basis, it's much harder to script redudant tasks. So I expect while admins can navigate certain issues on Windows easier, Linux admin's are able to script those so they don't have to keep doing the task manually.
I remember writing NTEject back in the NT 3.1 days. There wasn't a command line option to eject removable media. I even wrote a mod to eject a tape drive from the command line. Things like that would be a snap in Linux to automate, but outside of such custome utilities impossible under Windows.
Stupid user + Stupid software companies = comprimised security.
I can easily lock my Window's machine down as tight as Linux. The problem is that half the software won't install in such a restricted account, and even if it does, it's likely to fall down later on.
Linux/UNIX users are used to avoid running as root. Most Windows users never give it a thought and those that do often give up when the software won't install or won't run under a restricted account
I guess Microsoft could create a default user account at install time. But then I'm sure they'd get a ton of support calls from clueless users complaining that their favorite software doesn't run under Windows.
