THIS MAN SHOULD BE ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY.
I mean, publishing this as closed source? I'd be surprised if someone replying to me didn't call for him to be immediately thrown on death row!
When was the last time you saw any evidence of the previous existance of the carribbian monk seal? We cleaned them up real good in just 46 years. Take that Earth, take that.
lets try and screw with this as a group. type in 123 for every image you see, hopefully you will get matched with another slashdotter and will be able to move along quickly.
You hit it bang on: Greatness doesn't only take a good idea, but good execution. Thus, you must have smart people to execute properly. But then, why will smart people be unable to think of a good idea? o.O
3% of the world market? Ever heard of critical mass? You need to force a format adoption, you can't just sit and wait for your competitors to make the format a standard greater than 3%, otherwise people will associate them with that manufacturer! Technology will be consumed, even if it is not yet viable. That is why we have Slashdot. Gadget freaks, and forward thinking individuals will buy these products, show them off, and then more will purchase them. Silly man.
Tied up in DRM, all this memory kicking around is going to cause problems.
"Where did I put that Elton John Album? On my IPod? No... On my mobile? No... On my works mobile? No... On my PC? No... On my IPAQ? No... oh bugger it, I'll just buy another electronic copy."
...do they measure decisions made in 50 milliseconds? We need an article on that.
But yeah, it is useful, but to a larger extent than we probably realize. I can imagine that decisions aren't made solely on visual appeal, but as we see the site, we note the number of advertisements, location of information, and begin to read the information presented on the page before it is actually rejected.
Probably because every second person has it set as their *recommended* homepage as a result of installing MSN 150 times over the past 3 years. Now all we need is slashdot messenger... yes, that's it, create a further divide in IM... muahaha!
Chances are, any department will say this because they always view situations as win-lose. IE. If the marketing dept. gets $100k, we aren't getting $100k. Every department could use more money, it's a given.
Then, the kitten flew through the air at a couple hundred miles per hour, smoked an orphan in the head, who dropped his flaming moe, shattered on the ground and lit the dry grass alight. The fire spread rapidly to the local homeless shelter which burned to the ground in minutes. An electrical fire in the building sent a surge to the high voltage lines outside which carried to the local hospital, whose outside transformers exploded, catching the hospital on fire.
I don't think being able to code is the important issue here. It relies on competence in technology, how it can be applied to business opportunities and decisions. In other words, people who are in MIS (management information systems), a business concentration. If they were purely engineers, they likely wouldn't have the people skills to get higher in the company.
Importance doesn't equal control in much respect. The executives and managers are still in control of the company's future, regardless of what the programmers, DB admins, and the like want to believe. Don't get me wrong, this is great for the company, and is theorhetically the best way to work it. If your workforce is happy, they are more productive and do better quality work. Quality work and productivity really make or break a company. Thus, if you motivate them and reward them to make them happy, the company will do well.

easy: stab them in the face.
sure, being a fugitive is lots of fun!

Does this mean I can have a t-rex as a pet in a few years? Please?

It would be lossless. You could create an algorithm to re-expand those acronyms, and who cares about the contractions, they still mean the same thing.
That is actually an interesting idea. What if you added a layer of compression that converted every possible common acronym, made contractions, etc...
Man, WinRar is taking its bloody time. But oh god, when its done, I'll be rich!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could all work together instead of wasting billions on competing? Of course, that's not gonna happen any time soon.
Fucking commie.

Glad I stuck with LP's
"In the garbage?" Yes.
There you go, problem solved.
The browser is different from the OS. You don't have to double click links in a web browser. God. It pisses me off when my parents do that.

One laptop per child? If they used the manufacturers that Nike uses, they could surely turn out at least 3 laptops per child per day.

I just HAVE to have a coat with this critter's fur as trim.
