Oh really? You got any proof that the largest software company in the known universe is in trouble, Mr. Buffett?
I hate it when I hear Microsoft called the world's largest software company. I would guess that there's many fortune 500 companies such as IBM and the unnamed defense contractor that I work for have enough software developers to totally dwarf Microsoft and Oracle put together. The difference, of course, is that we have little or no commercial products.
I find this image far more impressive, though it does have the "problem" that people actually need to be able to locate North and South Korea on a globe.
Nice picture but how did they photograph the entire world in darkness all at once?
Actually I saw some recent news about this. It seems that Russia has been using normal ball point pens in space for years and they work just fine. No pressurization was ever needed.
It makes you wonder why didn't NASA just try an ordinary pen?
Non-alphabet characters can be used to replace the letters they resemble. For example, "5" or even "$" can replace the letter S. Applying this style, the word "leetspeek" can be written as "133t5p33k" or even "!337$p34k," with "4" replacing the letter A.
I thought that Microsoft reserved sole rights to the "$" character. I'm sure they've even filed a patent on it somewhere.
I think every baseball record for the last 10 years should be thrown out with the exception of Cal Ripken who has the record for showing up for the most consecutive games. It didn't take drugs to accomplish that.
I don't do COBOL. I write Java and C++. My favorite programming is when I'm writing Lex and Yacc grammar/parsers which most young programmers never even heard of.

I would love to work on an old fortran system again, especially if it's in fortran IV. Yes indeed, those were the good old days.
No karma for you
Can it run Linux?
Because I don't have the disk space for it.
AT&T worldnet just raised their email storage limit from 10Mb to 25Mb. Woohoo.

Oh come on! Anyone with any social refinement would know that you would drink red wine with T-Rex.

My pet peeve is that they abandoned Via Voice right after I bought it and it only runs using an old version of Blackdown java.

Wouldn't they know if your email address is good by the fact that it wasn't rejected as an invalid address?
Did you even look at my email addy? :)
So, Microsoft employees secretly use gmail at home. Do they also run Linux at home?
