I think it does, the other night I got to play on a PS3 for the first time. I played a game where you could find tvs laying around and just watch hours and hours of old programing. Things like star trek could be bundled Movies, TV series, soundtracks and even video games all in one relatively small package. 50GB is a lot to dedicate to a single movie, but, the media markets can be consolidated through the use of Blu-ray much better than they can under HDDVD.
Just more proof that intelligence is seen as a "defect" and generally gets selected out.
In more primitive times intelligence was seen as a defect, it interferes with "fight or flight" types of responses. In high school intelligence may still be seen as a defect, but we have evolved to a point where the average lifespan is well over 25. We evolve to fit the situation, in high school it's about looking good, playing sports, and being social, people that fit these profiles are most likely to procreate "during" high school or shortly after. They are by no means considered to be prime picks by the time they are hitting 25, because their inability to make long term plans becomes glaringly evident.
Honestly, I'm surprised more people around here aren't reading the headline and saying "duh, having lots of sex in high school is a pretty dumb thing to do".
Sure, they are an evil corporation with too much money on retainer, but they realized long ago, that software has an intrinsic value that crashes once the software is written.
For instance, the labor theory of value - the most influential of the intrinsic theories - holds that the value of an item comes from the amount of labor spent producing said item.
Basically, once software is written, it's value rapidly approaches zero, because the ability to replicate that work is well within the skill levels of the neophyte. IBM conceded the value of software long before Bill Gates came around floating the idea that the value of software could be upheld by government interference, essentially creating a new fiat currency, and entering the business of printing money, they hired lawyers to back it up along with becoming an extremely predatory business entity.
Microsoft entered the business of brokering software copyrights
IBM began brokering in software patents (primarily) and copyrights
RMS decided to rewrite some copyrights and lay the legal groundwork for open Intellectual Property
Sun Microsystems and Apple Computers are two companies that managed to survive IBM and Microsoft, respectively
Every company that hasn't been purchased or destroyed by IBM or Microsoft has started moving towards FOSS, Apple and Sun are stragglers.
Linus is an apolitical hacker, generally happy with GPLv2
Red Hat found that the intrinsic value of software rests with the people that know how to use it, ie support
IBM is looking at this situation and realizes that their business model was built on OSS, if they remove Microsoft they have a good shot at Dell, HP, Gateway, then finally Apple and Sun.
While IBM may have quite a bit to lose going the free software route they have a lot more to gain. Once they own all the copyrights/patents they can do whatever they want and that (currently) includes GPLvX or greater.
depends on the database behind that 30 year old software for me. I've seen extremely flat databases with nothing but a text console wrapped around it. Extremely, poor integrity standards and the data falls apart like a stack of Jenga blocks (the more people playing the quicker it falls). Computers back then were (often) used to supplement paper systems and sometimes it really shows.

So when I have a terabyte disk on my PC in five years, do I want to do my backups with 34 HD disks or 20 Blu-Ray disks? Do I want the whole collection of star wars on one disk or two. Honestly I think the storage space will make a difference more than anything.
Microsoft does perfectly innocent things, but Slashdot declares them bad: 95% of Slashdot articles.
Donating to AIDS research isn't such a good thing in microsoft's case once you look at it more closely...
There is a difference one is philosophical the other is imaginary. Another way I think of it is I can take an English class or take a math class, English is capitalized because it is the proper name of a language, while math is always math. God can be anything, anyone, or everything, it is not a proper noun, like "black people" vs "African Americans". Of, course I might be wrong, my grammar is shite.
nobody, but nobody, should use math in a professional context that they do not understand. It is definitive of being unprofessional. Any school that teaches this should be burnt.
How often do you call tech support? Seriously, the version number isn't there for you, it's there for your grandparents/siblings/parents/bosses/coworkers/etc . honestly, if I'm talking to someone on the phone and all they can do is tell me the time, I'm gonna wind up biting my tongue until it bleeds.
Solaris and Mac are very similar I would suggest buying Sun's hardware if you are going to use Solaris professionally, the desktop, running on desktop hardware, is probably at best a hobby system unless you start with the HCL.
Well then let me thank you for your congratulations on my ability to read. Really that wasn't some snide remark riddled with elitism? I apologize if I was mistaken but honestly you do see how I could mis-interpret
Anyways, as you suggested let's get this out of the gutter. Microsoft is fully aware of the limitations of this technology, even suggests it shouldn't be used on certain networks. If they are warning people about it, it would be awfully stupid of them to make it the only venue to download anything. After poking around a bit even the 2008 visual studio beta is available directly.
Yep, it's true what you're saying, but at the same time I've seen people that knew MS Office left with Open Office because that was the roll out, they knew nothing and it was really quite sad that these schools couldn't have taught them word-processing rather than just how to use "MS Office".
I've been using MS Office 2007 for two months at work. It sucks, for the first time, I'm actually better with OpenOffice.org and I've been using oo.o since 1.0. Oh, and access '07 is the worst, sometimes queries just don't f*cking run, click on them and they don't run, no errors, nothing they just return an empty set when they should return data. Now I need to spend $50 on a book so I can develop my trivial scratch-an-itch databases, it's dumb. I type in a keyboard shortcut, and the damn thing asks me if I want to continue with with the old shortcut combo - WTF is that!?

IBM is a hardware company, always has been, they've been into open source software since before GNU existed.

funny, you can always count on M$ to keep the stuff that doesn't work.
I know, I saved it and re-opened it, of course... hold on. Nope, I was wrong you were right, it still sucks.
07 lets you use backspace.
It's phonetic slang. Blame hooked on phonics. The irony can be found on Google.
http://www.google.com/search?q=hooked+on+phonixWhat is this "outside of the geek community" of which you speak? I really hope you're not talking about myspace.
God damn it, what is god? What is Santa Claus?

I remember that. I'll check it out in 07 tomorrow at work, I'll post to let you know.
