A nitpick; there once was a company called Chevrolet. Many of us are still old enough to remember when Ford and Lincoln were competitors, and GM and Chevy were as well.
I second 1and1.com. I've had a server there for two years, and I've uptimes approaching 300 days. The only issue I ever had with them was locking out my ssh server, which I fixed via their ssh-console-recovery tools. I'm thinking about leasing a second server.
From just about everyone I've talked to, if you can excellent English, you'll be doing okay conversationally in Japanese in 6 months. Reading, on the other hand, might take a bit longer.
History is so funny. HP got into the Itanium bed simply to have something to compete against DEC, MIPS/SGI, IBM and Sun with. Since Intel isn't a systems builder, and HP couldn't compete in CPU design like the aforementioned systems builders they were an obvious choice for a partner in what looked to be "THE" revolutionary new CPU architecture.
If HP had known it would own the Alpha in 8 years, Itanium would have been an Intel only business and even more of a dud than it already is. Are not HP still the only Itanium vendors?
And numerous industry studies have PROVEN that using Windows improves the bottom line and brings tremendous benefit to "getting shit done." Let's face it, Microsoft and Windows facilitate a lot of really good lowest-common-denominator products that allow businesses to solve problems with little to know significant effort.
But vendor lock-in still sucks, and there's continuing hope that a heterogenous world will force MS to behave better.
Mythbusters tried this. Pretty much any high-velocity (supersonic) round is going to disintegrate when it hits water. Subsonic rounds will pentrate 9 to 12 feet. Anything else, good luck.
You'd have to have a VERY low angle to the water to suffer a richocet.
WorkerB struggles with old process, or manual data entry for months on end, and is sick and tired of it. WorkerB struggles for a week or two, and writes some eXcel macros or an Access database to create the dataset he needs based off of some report out of "Insert Big Fracking ERP Here."
WorkerB shows the boss how he can save 6 hours a day doing analysis, and the whole team ends up using the new eXcel spreadsheet.
Mgr B. uses Word macros to mine the Excel data to make pretty reports for Sr VP. Jones. Mgr B gets a raise for finding inefficiencies in a shipping network network somewhere, thereby validating all of the above.
If "Insert Big Fracking ERP Here" tool good ad-hoc reporting tools built into it (aka Crystal?) then maybe a lot of the above would never happen. But it probably would. End users are the best choice for determining what they want and how they want to see it, and no one has created the interface to allow arbitrary SQl to become an Arbitrary Document Formation with ease enough to be useful to the end user.
Note, even OO.o has built in macro tools. It's the nature of the beast. I'm just dying until I can use GoogleDocs to mine my GoogleDBs.
I used WinME in a small office setting, and aside from ONE old DOS-based app that required share.com to run to increase stack space and ME removing that little tool, I had ZERO issues with it. It served a purpose. It put people on notice that XP was coming, and changes were afoot: get with the program or get left behind, pure 100% DOS compatibility is gone. WIN32 or bust.
In that regard, 6 years later, I think it worked phenomenally well.

Well, I might not be, but some of us are.
If the SQL 2005 Management Console is any indication of the power and flexibility of .NET (CLR), I don't want to touch it with a 10 foot pole.
Zittrain and his Digital 9-11 crap is just as bad as that Y2K guy crying the end of the world...
If I never hear him utter "Digital 9-11" again, I'll die a happy man.

Harvard has, at last I checked, nearly a $12US BILLION endowment. That's enough to take on this challenge, I assure you!

Care to elaborate on said system at your work?
XP doesn't have this feature unless you're using Windows Server 2003 with Volume Shadow Copy enabled.
The answer for Windows is TortoiseSVN.
Do tell.... details man!

This whole situation is scary when put against the fact that this is from the same administration that has REFUSED to disavow the use of torture.

Except many Windows downloads now require you validation to download manually.
Maybe not patches, yet, but you can be sure it's on their radar.
