In it, he argues that in ten years the desktop OS will become obsolete in favor of a Web based one, and that content on the web will be automatically customized according to the device being used to access it (PDA, smartphone,etc).
Wouldn't that be returning to the "dumb terminals" of ye olde times? Instead of having a computer, you just had a keyboard and monitor. Now you have a web browser.
I personally have noticed no speed difference, but I have a fast machine.
My dad has a WinXP (no service pack 2) and i think his processor is less than 1 GHz. His drivers are the generic vga drivers. Firefox DOES crawl in this configuration. My sister tried to browse the web in firefox, but it was awfully slow. She switched to IE and it was much faster.
Man, you better keep that song, I have the feeling it'll get famous later (Too bad you posted it without coral cache). Will you submit it to P2P networks?
In the course of the month, introduce people to some cool software that also include their source code.
Some of it could be, for example, Firefox:) You can say: "Use this when browsing the web for non-office uses", then show it off like the plugin capabilities, etc.
For peer to peer downloads, recommend shareaza 2.1 (it's free of spyware!)
You could ALSO use freeware (but not open source), like CDBurnerXP Pro or IrfanView for image editing. Earn your reputation as the "free software guy".
Then people will begin to ask you about free software that fits certain needs. So, when you get 10 or 15 people asking you for stuff, you could say: "Hey, remember this or that software? Well, guess what, they have their sourcecode published!"
Also, you could install OpenOffice on YOUR MACHINE and begin using it and showing it off in front of your friends. Then they'll ask you: "It's free? And they release the sourcecode?!?!?"
THEN you could offer to talk to them about this new "open source" philosophy in the next meeting.
(i have the slight feeling i'll burn in karma hell for this...)
Yo, live in slashdot, keep competing for the first post, where ya never tire of trolling 'bout our welcomed overlords, and the soviet russia jokes,that make readers gag and choke, And remember saying "dupe!", no matter the karma cost.
Then new gadgets bright and shiny, get all showed off in here, till the bandwidth grows so tiny that the 'masters run in ph34r
News for nerds, News for nerds, all the news are stuff that matters, but it's really all the chatter that amuses our geek herds.
And I end this geeksta rap, cuz it's my job where I'm trollin', so before i get your claps, I demand ya: Mod me funny!
It's about the ACTIVATION KEY which is an additional step used when installing. The activation key is calulated with a hash based on your hard disk's serial number, and some of your hardware.
Which means that if you reformat your hard disk you're screwed, because next time you format it, it'll have a DIFFERENT serial number.
I say it because I had to activate my windows TWICE.
(Frankly, I think Microsoft doesn't know how to maintain the salaries of all its programmers when they don't sell anything NEW anymore. So they have to reinvent the same software over and over to keep the income flowing... dot com bubble anyone?)
I both pity the guy (and pray thate he will reach purgatory at least) and at the same time, am afraid of the people behind the murder. I mean, if someone we consider a villain was murdered, then it means he was only a pawn of a much greater power:-S
Next, to do the movie ads correctly, they need to be displayed on the torso of your opponent, especially if it's a game where you have to work on a big opponent for a while
Cool! Now i can stab the giant golem in the back while he's wearing a Microsoft T-Shirt... and have DOUBLE the fun!:D

Find armless body at bomb site ...
:)
That's easy to solve: Find the arm, and you'll find the guy
Just think how intuitively people interpet somebody gesturing at them with a broken bottle :)
It could be worse. Imagine seeing CLIPPY behind a bottle's image distortion! =(
Microsoft should thank Linus for not patenting privilege separations.
:(
Uh oh... I think I just opened Pandora's box

Until XulRunner comes out that is

Yes, but will it be ready for Longhorn?

So, how to implement this in mozilla?
No matter how standards-noncompliant this snippet is, at the office we use this a lot. Any ideas?
The company that earned millions by selling gore violence to teens, lost it all because of the only non-violent thing in the game.
Or, as they say... the criminal got busted for a crime he didn't commit.
Nelson, your cue.
- HAH HAH!
They're no longer just about kids and teenagers, but for adults of all ages..
Do "all ages" include 13yo? Just wondering...
You mean the same artists who were:
Heh.
Looks like the turntable stopped turning :P
:( How many times do we have to repeat it!)
(use Coral Cache, guys!!!
and will also save costs by reducing the number of times computers will have to be rebooted.
How about saving costs by reducing the number of licenses you will have to pay per family?

Scrap the meeting, leave that for the end.

If they did they most certainly would no longer be a hardware company.
Like IBM?
they parodied Voltron in more than one episode.
Weird Al's song is a gem. You'll laugh a lot.

This claim makes no more sense than claiming that the industry loses $10 billion to piracy.
:D
So, if Microsoft stops charging for Windows, the problem will solve itself?

Evil? Shouldn't that worm be called "Robin Hood" or something?
Trained Neural networks have been used to predict stock changes in wall street for years. When I studied about, it was '95.
So, what's the news that some algorithm can be trained with some data and predict possible inputs after a given time?

As they say, you never know who you work for.
