So the value Dell adds to hardware is not just Windows OS installation.
I would buy Dell because of quality, pre- and post-sales services, warranty (on bare hardware) and so on.
I'll buy from China or Taiwan when I jsut want to save as much as possible. In my opinion.
Just like building construction science was not dead with Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Aztech... and so on, the IT won't.
New technologies, new languages, new paradigms as well as new hardware will push forward the IT.
I fear the sentence has come from some "old school" mind, still tied to old technologies. Which could really die sometime in the future.
I think and fear IPv6 won't make its day.
There are too many embedded devices that won't be upgraded to IPv6 just because they have IPv4 carved in silicon.
Companies won't spend money in upgrades and related risks.
Computers never make errors.
Humans do, at least in designing, manufacturing and sizing computer systems.
This one seems to me like blaming at a knife once you cut your fingers.
CS should be a mandatory item in schools, even elementary. We cannot think about 21st century without serious CS courses in schools.
But I'd prefer to spend more money in having more motivated teachers and better programs.
Then you can build a wired CS classroom (or two) with the usual desktop PCs that are becoming cheaper and cheaper.
And I'm sure pupils would love the idea to do a walk to a different classrom.
Data encryption on a cellphone cannot be too powerful as the computing resources are quite scarce while access speed is important.
Moreover some algorythms have been proven to be breakable.
I still think finger prints on cell phones is just marketing buzz.
Almost all phones have backdoors that can be used easily without opening the phone itself.
All of them can be "cracked" by opening the case.
Both are available for repair centers (and hackers as well).
So if someone really needs your data, he will get them, with or without your chopped finger!
It's been very cool. But quite expensive.
Leaving a comment on/. with those two letters would have been cheaper by far.
And with more visibility becasuse/. is more visited than Flightware.Com.
How can you say a piece of information is accurate? Only if you create it in first person and use it!
Othewise if you have the original source, you can accurately cite it. If you have not, you end to cite a source claiming to cite an original source. And so on.
In regards to the History, most of the sources either are not original or have a quesitonable genuinity.
Wikipedia is great as it doesn't claim to have accurate information and allows everyone to modify almost everything. Just like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! (Sorry for the inaccurate infos!)
The SMTP protocol is showing all its age and weakness. It has not been designed to cope with today's use.
First of all it lacks authentication and authorisation mechanisms. The various anti-spam, white/black/grey listing look more like workarounds than solution.
Then you'd like to really know whether your message has been delivered or not and other nice details about the messages.
My personal feeling is that it's time now for a new messaging protocol.
SMTP is dead, long life to SMTP!
Do you think the year has already come to the end?
A year is quite long for technology advances and we are just at the very beginnings!
Well, iPhone is actually another cell phone. It's by Apple, it has touch screen, plays MP3s and videos etc. etc.
Nonetheless is yet another cell phone, a 20+ years old technology and dozens of cell phones can do the same things as the iPhone does! I'd rather say that Vanu's (claims for) new radio technology could be more interesting. Let's wait some more weeks before talijg about "year's biggest tech launches".
It is very unlikely that developers follow Linux only.
They support some well documented and mature standards like Gnu Libc, X window and POSIX, among others.
Infact, for example, most of the desktop software can be compiled and run under almost all OS that comply to those standards.
Sometimes even under Microsoft's OSs.
Security. The Net and people on it don't have good security yet. Reusable passwords, service providers that just don't care, SMTP port 25; the Net is full of holes that need technical and social fixes.
Just replace "SMTP port 25" and "the Net" with "Windows OS" and you have a prediction for... year 2070!

Because I have to pay for any pre-installed thing!

Seriously, why?
They should have computed the overall energy consumed for both manufacturing and driving.

That'd be better by far.
I'm sorry but it won't run Windows Vista because it doesn't have the mouse.

Just a little bit more expensive.

Storage can be an issue everywhere storage is limited and not implemented as hard disks or other similar media.
