Bingo. I'm flabbergasted this took a whole study. My wife (who I admit is a pretty bright bulb) figured out the winning technique after a couple losing efforts. Put in your best bid right at the end and be done with it.
And one more vote for the parent. For the large corporation, with multiple parallel projects, it makes sense to standardize on Java and/or C# for larger scale, x-line projects. But for quick scripting/prototyping, I can't see why a company wouldn't use anything but Perl + CPAN.
Waaah! Word makes me use, like, thirty-odd keys just to type out a piece of crap rant. Isn't there some easy bit of software that can, like, do it for me using less thinking?
We could never be sure who initiated, but if Apple really does hold all the important PPC IP, then we can see why these two might want to get in bed. Each finds the other irresistable.
Apple gets out of the IBM mess and Intel gets a new weapon in the gaming game (if PPC somehow proves to be a better platform for gaming). And, bonus, MS can go back to Intel for xbox chips, too.
"The first thing thought of in flight and the last thing left to be done is bird like flapping wing flight."
Sometimes, some of this retro-science stuff is just plain silly. What's next, scientists ignoring automobile technology in order to figure out a way for humans to outrun cheetahs?
Da Vinci only had this design cuz he could not at the time conceptualize fixed-wing flight. Let's moveon.com, shall we?
