to be able to fill out even a paper application. You have to be able to read and write. Adding basic mouse clicking and typing skills to the list seems pretty minor.
Nobody wants a change for the worse. But chances are that, just like Win95, 2k and XP, everybody will learn the new features, understand why the change is better and will be thankful they are past the old days of the previous OSs.
Of course the Linux and Mac activists will always hate and find negative aspects with anything MS related. But there are still a lot of people looking forward optimistically to the new features in Vista.
are clamoring to get their hands on this. Seriosly though, why do I need this product? We already have wireless routers with built-in DHCP. And network neighborhood knows about computers on the network.
You sig has been bugging me for the past few days. If you are referring to XP solutions that make the uptime claim that you say is impossible, consider this. It's entirely possible to have 100% uptime running WinXP if you use either clusters and/or employ load balancing.
Having the data in an RDBMS is only the first step to being able to mine data for knowledge. Data mining is a whole different discipline that requires statistical analysis of the aggregated data to find trends, etc.
If you want to win a war, and have it stay won . ..
I see your point if you're refering to regime change and then wanting the nation to be USA friendly. But if we just want to plain win a war all we have to do is take it to the enemy until they surrender (like we did with Japan). We didn't have to have a single foot soldier over there to win that war. The same with China. If China or North Korea or Iran decided to screw with us we can do the same thing and they would back down.
The problem comes in with the people that thinks we have to not only win a war but also follow that up with making everybody in the world like the USA. Forget it. There are people's entire religions based on hating the USA (and Israel). That's a war that you aren't going to win.
But why do we go to war? To make friends? Or to protect ourselves from threats to our security? If China decided the USA was evil and wanted to throw everything they had at us . . . it would be nasty . . . but we would win, hands down. We've got more of everything than they do. Except for soldiers. But foot soldiers don't win wars anymore.
BTW, we won the war in Iraq. It's the rebuilding effort we aren't so quick at. But they are two separate things.
We could defeat China handily. Honestly, we don't want our men on the front line anyways. If we can win a war from 30,000 feet in the air without putting our troops in harms way, isn't that a better option? We need to quit thinking about having to have the same number of soldiers as another country to defeat that country. Wars aren't won by men with rifles anymore.
Do you believe in Child Protective Services? Miranda rights? The FCC? The FDA? Which parts get to stay, and which ones get the axe?
The constitution doesn't allow for feel-good social programs. Things like Social Security, Welfare, Medicare and etc. It also doesn't allow for programs that infringe on the rights of the American people such as the FCC. The FDA is the reason medical costs are at unreal levels. Child Protective Services, Miranda rights are all well and good at the State level (even the FDA if a state wants it).
People think all of these programs that have made a positive difference have to dissappear when following a Libertarian philosophy. That's not true. It just has to happen on the state level instead. If people like/dislike certain programs they are free to live in a state that aligns with their views.
. . . running OS X? As soon as you combine OS X with anything it cancells out the geekiness and just turns it into tech fashion. I'm assuming teenage girls with ipod headphones in their ears IMing their friends on an iMac wouldn't consider themselves geeks. On the other hand if you really want to up the geek factor, have that same hardward config running Linux. That would be hardcore!
And Abramoff actually is guilty. He lobbied for republicans AND democrats. Tom Delay has only been accused by Democrats. Delay hasn't been found guilty of any lobbying scandal.
It's probably the laptop's power supply. I've only heard one processor make this sound. And that was when I hooked up the power to my motherboard backwards to my 486 many years ago.;-)

The poster asked, "Can this be considered discriminatory to those of a lower education level in their attempt to obtain a job, as well?"

I hope the "Web Services - Discovery thing" that comes with Vista will be free. No negotiating licenses needed.
I had a serious question. Some mac fanboy moderator modded me down for wondering why this product is needed.

I think it's 138 organizations, not individual people.
as a patch or a bug or a buggy patch?
Very creative. But I bet you don't use Windows now. And I bet you had absolutely no intention of using Windows when Vista is released.
And besides, if you're a "customer" who only uses software he can pirate, I'm sure MS will really miss having you as a customer.
It will be fun to watch the follow up /. post get duped to death anyways.
Can you provide a link for that claim?

Well you line all your riflemen up.
Then I'll fly my B-2 overhead at 50k feet and vaporize them with a single bomb.
Then we'll see who the deluded one was.
They already do.

Vote for a Libertarian. Keep government to its constitutional minimum and we will all be better off.
The fact that we have far superios military power and we are totally willing to use it is a very effective defense in itself.
Oh yea, USA loves to think like that. "China's doing it so it must be a good idea."

Darned if you dont. Darned if you do.
I think MS realized many years ago that they are the official definition of this phrase.
