when using domain clients and sites with integrated windows/ad authentication - IE will happly pass along user creds to the server - where firefox and chrome both prompt for username/password..
i know it sounds silly but when you are forcing hundreds or thousands of users to use something - you want it to be clean and simple - with the more focus on web/client-server apps in the enterprise - it makes a big difference when you can remove that hurdle - especially when going from one webapp to another.
also making them work better with group policies would be nice too.
chromes auto updating nature is also a key factor preventing a large corp from using it - don't get me wrong - updates are good.. and i like the way they do it.. but auto updating can be bad (think back to a few months ago with McAfee and them crashing some large names with an update).
but you also have to look at the vender's support and willingness for keeping backwards capability.. is FF going to give you that? Google? no one wants to make a switch and then in 6 months get stuck with no upgrade path.
IE might be completely insecure - but MS is one very corporate friendly company - which is why they get used so much.
not so much a clean out as replacing a couple of values & an injector.. right now it runs on 7 cylinders until ~2500 rpm - that is broken.. take a car i used to have - was a straight 6.. when 1 of the 6 power packs died it couldn't/wouldn't start.
my comment was to the fact that the american small block v8 is known to be a hard to kill compared to others. In fact i bought that truck specifically because it is one of the ones you can drive into the ground and then drive home.
given average worked days a year is ~250 (5 days a week 50 weeks a year) over 8 years.. they need to replace 125 signs a day to hit 250,000. i'm not sure how many man hours it takes to replace a street sign - i know some are harder than others and some can could allow you to replace 2 or more at once.. but... i'd say for a 2 man crew i would be surprised if they could replace more than 4 an hour.. given the average work time in a work day ~4-5 hours (8 -lunch -breaks -travel time) a 2 man crew lets say gets ~16 a day.. 125/16 = ~7.8
so you need roughly 8, 2 man crews working day in and out for 8 years to do this.. 16 people full time for 8 years to replace street signs... somehow i don't see that as being done through attrition.. yea i'm sure as normal sign maintenance happens they will adhere to the new standard and that will be taken from the pool.. but it is still a massive amount of work to be done.
not sure about that.. I've got a 302 V8 that has 2 idle issues - technically it is broken.. but will still pull shit just fine. One of these days when i have a lot more time i'll pull the heads and fix it.. till then it works well enough
I've always wondered why we don't just as a group - as a ant hill style mess - just create our own web on top of the existing - run everything through tunnel connections run our own fault tolerant internet on top of the existing.. sure its a fragmenting net but it would be a private and resilient net.
even in theory they couldn't be banned because they have the master key - meaning they can create any and all keys on the fly and at will - the only way to "ban" them would be to not use HDCP and use something else..
people with email capable mobile phones (the subset of mobile phone owners who has a smart phone and has it set up to check that specific email address).
it does not require what people consider "smart phones" to do e-mail.. most if not all of the phones now days have the power to do it but are limited by the carrier.
Also when you send someone a text, it is with the assumption that they may be anywhere and well away from a computer. They may even be in an area with very limited 3G (or even EDGE) connection, leading to slow use of email, but sufficient basic signal to get text messages.
It's called general packet radio - and unless you are sending attachments - most e-mails aren't that large and would be able to get through any place that a text could.
I hope you now see some of the advantages of SMS over email. It may not be for you, but it is a different thing altogether.
nope sorry - if i had seen an advantage for SMS over e-mail i wouldn't have made the original comment. The only advantage i see is that it allows the carrier to monitor the number of messages sent and received and there for gives them a way of billing them - instead of just seeing data flow across with no idea of what it is or how to bill it.. other than raw transfer which they then have to explain to customers which becomes a headache for them - simple message in/message out is easy to equate with a customer who knows call in/call out
but that "need" for a "smart phone & data plan" is really fabricated by the cell providers - hell my startac had e-mail and a web browser on it.. you would be hard pressed to find a phone now days that wouldn't be able to do it - except that the cell providers cripple them
I still don't get the advantage of SMS over just using e-mail.. sure you don't have to have as much hardware/software to handle SMS as you do e-mail BUT you would be hard pressed to find a phone on the market that doesn't meet the minimum for doing e-mail - and you get a larger non limited contact base.
I want to see the bell curve on this - neither i nor most of my friends use text messaging.. and the ones that do i would say use less than 1 a day (we are in the 25-35 age group).. but we all have cell phones and most of us have "smart phones" either iphone/crackberry/blackjacks.. but even using for e-mail.. we don't go back and forth to each other.. the e-mail is there for work.. (i talk more to servers than i do to people).
i can't imagine how high the some of the numbers are to make the average 10 a day..
My argument was not to compare stealing a bicycle with copying but more on how irrational is for people to justify doing something illegal.
Random question - if i was looking at a Bike - and using my own hands and tools made a copy of that Bike out of materials i have - and use this copy of the bike for my own personal use and not to resell it. Then what law have i broken?
But the place you check-in at the airport is part of the airline.. this isn't a chartered but rather a private airplane.. they don't even get assigned a gate normally (or they will share a tarmac gate with other privet fights.
i'm not a stickler looking for more bandwith - it'd rather have lower cost - hell 20$ for 1Mbps would be fine.. i never need more than that really, its the low latency i need.

the school system where my wife works - this past week just did an ie7 rollout.. and in January they are scheduled to do an office 07 rollout.

no problem - i didn't realize you meant that either.

maybe my new car should have a buggy whip and a sack of feed as well...
i like the idea.. - get rid of the steering wheel.. make people snap a whip to get the car to turn.. anything to get them off their damn phone.
If i person gets someone killed they go to jail - if a company gets someone killed they might get fined..
i think they are treated differently and there for are different.
the individuals in the group would have the same rights as any individual - but the company wouldn't.

its good for the carrier - not the consumer

I'm in the same bucket with no HDTV and was with cell phones ( went from a startac to a 8525)
The 10 a day was for adults not students

No, but people using his/her software DOES indicate that something of value has been created, or they wouldn't use it.
by that logic you could say /. produces something of value.. or even
*shutters* facebook or tweeter....
i think reality, like math, starts doing funny things when you approach zero.

If he's wrong i'll take the prize for saying it's 1
that is why most of the ones in the states are blunted - there for they are decorative not functional and not weapons.

where the hell do you people live?
i pay 50$ a month for 5Mbps/512k
i'm not a stickler looking for more bandwith - it'd rather have lower cost - hell 20$ for 1Mbps would be fine.. i never need more than that really, its the low latency i need.
but how do you check your bag for a privet jet?
If you want to create a hit as an indie startup, you make something like Braid or Limbo.
Both of which are amazing games - although i wish Limbo was longer - but i'm not put off by it, the attention to detail was wonderful.
PS, when they speak of wolfenstein i still think of the 1991 prequal to doom that was playable on a 286.
thats what i was thinking - would be fun to see it re-released with nothing but the graphics improved (still no mouse aim no multilevel no physics)
