There are alternatives out there for telecommunication services. Show AT&T what you think about their policies and hit them where it hurts. Dump them as providers!
I suppose Outlook Express is the ideal name for an email client...as is Outlook. Acrobat is the perfect.pdf viewer or creator. Excel instantly draws to mind spreadsheets [now, but 20 years ago?]. I could go on, but why bother.
The article is just more crap slinging between two apes vying for dominance.
While we [the/. crowd] bitch and moan about Microsoft and while the great herd worry more about Britney's spawn than credible science, more about the latest American Idol than engineering and while China and India graduate more scientists and engineers than the US...you can expect many, many more reports like this. The 21st century just may be when the Sino-Communist brand of capitalism eclipses lAmerican power and influence.
I've been running a dual tuner PVR now for about 6 months. Unless or until someone comes up with a solution to let consumers record channels above 125 [my tuner cards can not...including the $400+ ATI X800XT All in Wonder] then AFAIK provider supplied solutions such as DTV or Comcast's DVR is the only way to go to capture HD content.
Office workers, you mean those with IQs of 120+ that accept the term lifelong learning as an important fact of life? Or, do you mean the traditional office worker who thinks learning is like operating a trashcan, ie there's a switch in their arse...when they sit in a desk in a classroom that switch opens their head into which they expect the instructor to just shovel knowledge? Or, do you possibly mean the office worker bright enough to think Intelligent Design is scientific fact?/sarcasm
There is just as much evidence that the abundance, intensity and duration of these hurricanes is effected by global warming as there is that it's effected by the decline of pirates.
Can I get a Ramen!
I respectfully submit that it boils down to this...
Windows, as an operating system, will be threatened when Joe 6 pack can go into or call a consumer electronics store and pick up a computer pre-loaded with an alternate OS that will run the games their kids want.
erm...I did say "Others would argue that it is to prepare you for a lifetime of learning." The meaning there is/was supposed to be, it teaches you how to learn.
The types of classes you prefer will depend, essentially, on what you see as the purpose of a higher ed degree or some would even argue the purpose of an education. Some would argue that it is to prepare you for a job through the acculumation of a set of skills or a knowlege set. Others would argue that it is to prepare you for a lifetime of learning. In this day and age, odds are unless you're in a position where you can call in rich, you'll take more than one career zig or zag in your lifetime. Yet another group are those that see the purpose as a mixture of both. In the end, your choice as to the purpose of education should be one of the fundamental questions you get a personal grasp on before you even apply to an institution of higher learning.
I've been waiting for someone to catch that. Beneviolent is a term I coined back in the 80's when asked to describe my style of Game Mastering; beneficial, violent...beneviolent:)
Hannah!
If I wasnt already happily married I offer to father your children in the hopes of budging up the average IQ of the human populous. Tell my wife and I'm a dead man.
Clearly trhis library either doenst casre that the feds can request records secretly under the PATRIOT Act, including these innocuous fingerprints or they are in cahoots.

I, for one, welcome our Linux Overlord.
That's what the world needs...a computer by Apple that runs only software written by Apple. Oh wait...we pretty much have that now.
Aperture...one more slap in the face of Adobe. I'm waiting for Adobe to wake up and give Apple the big ..|.,

Think of all the open real estate this global warming going to open up near the other polar ice cap. I call DIBS!
Actually, they would probably report that they generated X [m/b]illions of dollars worth of business and kept X number of people employed.
Nice suggestion, but that would require additional monthly fees. If I wanted those, I'd just pony up for the comcast dvr.

It's also nice to see so many others in the thread agreeing with both of us.
