This could very well be the result of an inept reviewer unaware of the effects of AI NOS, or Intel PAT; both of which are very well known features of new ASUS boards.
While I agree with your premise, schools get large discounts on utilities, and it's 300k computers not 500k.
Anyway, I agree that this is a rediculous idea. Why don't schools learn that thin clients are the way to go here, ESPECIALLY if they are going to implement linux.
People must be quick to forget about GLQuake.
To me, it sounds like this will allow Aeroglass to run in OGL mode, as well as D3D, and will have little (if none whatsoever) effect in apps/drivers that implement their own OpenGL ICD.
Fireplaces without the requirement of a vent (this allows fireplaces in locations where regular wood/gas burners couldn't go), is the obvious use that comes to mind.
The only things that you would catch trouble for trying to "make your own home-grown version" of would be things like ASP/ADO.NET and Winforms, which are not part of the ECMA spec.
I believe the scope of that was more relative to the cost/availiblity of the services. As in, the elimination of government set price ceilings/floors and control of the way the company was run.
But that singles out only the largest and most funded companies, creating a natural monopoly. I know of many successful companies that provide high-quality service (speakeasy anyone?) that would have had no chance to create nationwide infrastructure to provide their service. Laws like these exist to benefit everyone (except potential monopolies I suppose).
This article on MSDN magazine (June 2005) explains a little about how VB.NET background compilation works, and several changes they're making to its functionality for VS 2005.
You make it sound like the big bad competition is strangling the utility company; they're being fairly compensated to provide their service (which is to maintain and expand the infrastructure). The problem lies in that the line between the "utility provider" and "service providers" is too blurry.
I used to think this way, until I saw the larger picture. That's (loosely) like saying personal transportation is a bad idea because some less-experienced driver might run into your car, crash into each other and block your highway, or even steal your vehicle.
People are more productive, they can collaborate on scales unheard of pre-internet, and information is more free than ever before. I think a major problem is that we didn't properly anticipate the behavior that would take place (spam, etc) despite the fact that it had happened in other forms of media for decades.
Not to say, of course that the end-user isn't at least partially at fault. But what they did was give a loaded gun to an inept armsman, without a manual or guidance. What did they expect?
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and leave it at the possibility you're misinformed, if not paranoid. You say proprietary about 5 times, which leads me to believe that you are biased against VS from the start.
Anyways, VS.NET uses XML to write out solution and project files, which is quite opposite of proprietary.
In VS.NET, you can write code the same way you wrote code in VS6. You never have to use or see a single line of.NET code in your C++ solution.
If you're referring to.NET languages as "proprietary", the base platform itself is covered by ECMA/ISO, as is its flagship language, C#.
If you ever start working with any.NET framework classes, you'll be glad that Intellisense exists. While the 2 monitor solution might work, I prefer doing the same, with 1 monitor (and 1 IDE), a lot faster:)

So did maddox, years ago.

Who says shopping should be anonymous? If they can service me better without a noticeable negative effect on my daily life, then more power to them.
What he said, this thing is acronym hell.

I'll rest my case here and here.

You sir, would be absolutely correct.

It wasnt a "fight against MS" that helped produce a lot of good technology, it was a fight "for quality technology."
It's not totalitarianism, it's anti-terrorism; after all, it's for our own protection, right?
No thanks.
Decent article, although the multitude of ads gives Adblock quite a workout.
I believe the goal of the telecom act of 1996 was to regulate the companies.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 regulates your phone service, so nothing will change there.
Sadly, the act does not cover DSL/cable access.

AFAIK, interference isn't a problem in my town, where we are testing BoP.
BAD idea. Government provided internet = ChinaNet.
Read this, then you'll understand.

Couldn't that be achieved through magnetics?
