I was thinking in those lines too. Why go for Linux when you have experience with Windows? And why doing your first-ever Linux deployment for a 2,500 user set-up?
True that Windows may get him where he's going faster, as linux installs with only one or two users by default. Well, Windows has a similar default, but an hour later on a web facing machine, he may just have his 2500 users.:P
But I'm still waiting for a commercially available microwave oven that will avoid stomping on my WiFi signal:-)
That'd be nice, but I'm waiting for a reverse microwave: instead of heating food by exciting water molecules with microwaves, it cools stuff by sucking out the microwaves... so you put your warm beer in there and a minute later its frosty cold and completely drained of microwaves.

just can't get yer shit straight, can you editors?
Are you shitting me??!! Paste? PASTE???? And photosharing. OK, system level, cross-app paste has been around since probably before you were born. I know of no OS that can't paste. And the photosharing example is already covered at the application level (share to flickr, picasa, whatever). If your application doesn't do it, there are plenty that do just fine without this touchy-feely trendy social developer bullshit.
Perhaps you are unaware...
The E-350 is rated for up to 90C.
hmm... that's good news for me, just made an E-350 purchase... but does that mean an E-350 putting out 90C will last as long as one at 60C or cooler? I guess what I am asking, is there no reason to cool the E-350 below 90C ?
I wanted someting like this too, and I was sort of obsessing over different Atom D525 systems... by all accounts fanless, silent Atom systems are now buildable. But then I read how the AMD E-350 just spanks Atom in processing power... and I began to realize I just don't care so much about having the best possible power efficiency... what I care about is cheap powerful systems, and if it sucks less power than a lightbulb or even an unused but plugged in wallwart... then that is neato, but not of primary concern in something that is a relatively permanent fixture in the home, with plug in power available.

I never used it, but was aware of its function. Looked like it would be immensely useful for a team all making updates to some document that was used in other documents. But if it doesn't update my Facebook status, what good is it? -- last part there was sarcasm. Publish and Subscribe is a good idea that helps people get real work done. idk what the Hell this "New Cross-App Data-Sharing System" is supposed to do other than help people waste their lives, and let Microsoft show the world that "Hey! See? We can be trendy too!"
hey, let me stop you right there... for once, the whole concept of whatever the Hell this idea is, is far far more stupid than Windows alone. idk what the attraction is to "social" networking (in quotes because of the inherent irony, by they're very nature, "social" networks are anti-social), but keep it the fuck away from my OS and my data.
I just wanted to add that it pisses me off that anyone, especially developers who one would expect are actually intelligent, are wasting time on this kind of bullshit. This is software development for boring people that have an overinflated sense of the importance of their lives. I talk all about the evils of this kind of stuff on my Facebook page... send me a friend request and you can read it, or I can send you the whole manifesto one tweet at a time.

Give him a break; His dog got hit by a hipster texting on his iPhone 4, an iPad2 killed his brother just to watch him die, and an iPod Touch knocked-up his super-model Canadian girlfriend, and he's stuck with trying to avoid paying child support (in Canadian dollars! In this economy!!).
A few bad Apples can spoil the whole bunch for some people.
hmm... idk... so long as these neutrinos are massless, and are not traveling precisely the speed of light and were always traveling faster than light, and so long as causality is not broken, Einstein and I don't have a problem with the results. Unfortunately, neutrinos have a non-zero mass. Something else must have happened... could it be from relativistic effects? Perhaps LHC was briefly moving at relativistic speeds in the opposite direction of the experiment? Who has the equipment to duplicate this experiment???!
In theory, latency is caused by routing and switching. In practice I have found most latency issues are caused by using slow, faraway, or non-optimum, or misconfigured DNS servers.
exactly... that's the ambiguity of the original sentence, sounds like they're saying Apple has decided not to support Flash in Windows 8, and Microsoft is falling in line behind them.
With Microsoft joining the ranks of Apple and not supporting Flash in Windows 8
I know what the OP is trying to say here... but he's saying it awkwardly and incorrectly. Was Apple ever expected to support Flash in Windows 8? By all accounts, Apple supports Flash in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, even if Adobe drops the ball here and there.
With Windows 8 for tablets joining the ranks of iOS and not supporting Flash...
You have me thinking... I wonder if its possble to wire the world with some special polymer fashioned in extremely long fibre optic light pipes... from the day side to the night side of the planet... so there is always light in the dark even without power.
I believe you overestimate what most are doing with their desktop, even many of those in the office, but definately not gamers, and not developers. One must look at the application. I think you, sir. would be surprised looking at a list of all the applications you yourself used in, say, the last 2 weeks. and how much time spent with each. No doubt, even some power users might only have a list of a half dozen applications used. If the list is shorter, say 2 or 3 applications, then the user doesn't need a Windows license, or even a full desktop computer. IMHO most, yes most (and I think 75%-85% was extremely conservative) of ALL computer users (not most gamers or most office workers or whatever, but of all) fit into that category of only having used 2 or 3 applications in the last 2 weeks, if not a single application (which is of course the esteemed and venerable browser, often confused with "The Internet").
This isn't directed at you personally or your grampa... but I'm always wondering... "why Windows?" and then reading your post I realize "oh, Office..." but then I'm left thinking "why Office?"
It really is 2011, and we really do have 31 flavors of OS to suit every need, and even though I'd estimate at least 75%-85% of all computer users have only the "need" for something along the lines of a simplistic Chrome-like OS, we (as consumers and IT afficionados alike) still shoehorn in that Swiss army knife monstrosity that Windows truely is into their worlds... sapping away the precious moments of life 100K proc cycles at a time. What is wrong with us that we allow such a thing as someone asking for pencil and paper and a simple, safe letter opener and receiving instead something as complex as a miniaturized Heidelberg offset press and a jaggy 5-pound Victorinox abomination?
..that nuclear reactors are complex systems, and therefore subject to chaotic behavior.. further, the culture of security does not breed increased response to threats, quite the opposite. Long periods of stable energy and profits lead predictably to cozy relationships with regulators and "asleep at the wheel" operators.. industry-wide! This was someone with no political axe in hand, simply advanced training in physics..
I wish everyone was of the quality of the gung ho bravery of the stereotypical NASA astronaut, with the intellect of the Rhode scholar... and raised in the mid-west and having a sort of a innocent bafflement of evil or corruption or falsehood. And from what anyone can tell, the Japanese have a far superior sense of morality than any other modern people (low crime rates, no looting... all the cash and valuables found that has been turned in), but even within their population we obviously have corruption (as we have seen its unfortunate effects).
So the issue is that anything that involves enough capital and/or is sufficiently complex that involves lots of people (such as nuclear power) will be subject to the effects of corruption, period. Nuclear power may be safe... but because (corruptable, imperfect) people are involved... whatever safety gains there are become nullified, even reversed.
