Sincerely, thanks for the tip. Glad I dont own stock in the company. Sincerely hope you dont.
BTW. Gave up relying on Business Week for any accurate or useful information, as I have, I guess, with all mainstream, popular publications and media in the US. Slashdot, digg, etc., are a lot more fun, and edifying. Enjoy:)
Heheheheheh Nice plug business week. But I dont think I will buying any HPs for awhile. It takes longer than that to clean up the mess Carley, or whatever her name is, made there. Good Luck.
Agreed that is not an encyclipedia. But it is censorship. The minute some supposed "authority" decides whether something should be printed or not, it is censorship.
The best way to handle that type of trash that makes fun of people like Brian is to totally ignore it, and never speak to the idiot that is doing it. Heck, that piece of garbage "humor" has gotten more attention then it would ever have wo censorship.
I can understand where wiki is coming in not posting it. And I probably would have done the same thing if in the same position. But where do you draw the line. No can pretend to have that wisdom. It is better to just allow freedom of speech and let society decide whether to pay attention or not. After all, we all have the choice to ostricize that idiot making fun of Brian. But I dont think a lot of us like someone else making that choice for us.
Besides, wiki has elliminated articles that should have stayed. Like the one about that fool Jerry Taylor of Tuttle.
Is there enough room for Xandros? Well, why would they even go in the server market? From my understanding and experience, Xandros is is a user friendly linux os for newbies and personal use at home. What nitch will it fill? Or more to the point, what need is there for it as a server?
Read "The Global Village" by Marshall McLuan and Bruce Powers. It says basically the same thing about how tech evolves. First it is just an extention of the old, then it morphs into something new. McLuan said in an interview in the 60s that there was some new tech out there beyond the present electronic mediums of tv, etc., but we just dont know what it is right now. Too bad he isnt still alive to see what has happened.
BTW the Global Villiage was published and evidently written / put together 10 year's after Mcluan's death, evidently by Powers. Had a "Jerry Taylor from Tuttle" laugh at this when I was telling some people. He couldnt get through his stupid head that books can be published posthumasly. For that matter so can Operas and other creative works. Here's hoping there are not too many Jerry's even in OK.
Hey you guys, I am one of Steve's kid's and I dont think you are funny at all. Even if I am not suppose to read Slashdot, I do. So there.
I have to admit, I am reading/. at 3 in the morning under the covers with a flashlight and linux laptop. But I am still reading it. So there again.
Ballmer ought to worry about the problems with IE and the rest of Microsoft's junk. If he really wants to bury linux and google, then his company should turn out first rate products. Best way to beat the competition, and at the same time provide something socially useful. That should be Microsoft's mission, and it can also be their legacy.
Yeah sure.
Snakes on a plane
I could be wrong. I just quickly skimed over the list and dates of inventions.
But this list seemed to confirm my original conclusion.
And that conclusion is that all the great Muslim inventions to humanity were created in the hayday of Muslim Middle East civilization, which was during the Western Mddle Age. That was the apogee of Muslim enlightment, when all religions were tolorated for a tax price, the mentally insane were treated as ill with a cure rate equal to todays, and " a virgin could pass from one end of the empire to the other end with a purse of gold and not be molested".
Sadly religious fanaticism ruined that. Sort of like the Christian right wackos are trying to do in the USA today. And with W Bush they may succeed.
And this is not really Klept but someday impersinating him for those of you religious freaks crazy enough to want to kill me for speaking the truth. Snakes on a Plane.
Dont forget this is the state that banned evolution and had the famous monkey trial in the 1920s. Read "Inherit the Wind" to get a good idea of the wackos vs the rational.
Community standards? Whose community? Some crazy right-wing church group, or all of us citizens.
Who said censorship only exists in totalitarian countries?
ok. I live in Hawaii. How in the real world am I going to communicate and be amused with girls in Paris if I dont do it online?
I know, there are plenty of beautiful and sexy girls in Hawaii. And I have beautiful, sexy times with them. But Paris girls are different. Vive la difference. They are cultured and fun in other ways, and I dont mean we spend all night talking about Sartes in French.
Actually isnt a lot of social interaction really conversation and just talking? The physical stuff is not that big a deal, at least not if you are having enough of it in life. IMO the one big thing girls and guys miss is not having someone of the opposite sex to talk to. And the virtual world can fill this need very nicely. Just look at what goes on in City of Heroes.
That said, I thought your comment was hilarious. Snakes on a Plane.
This post is 2 to 3 days tardy. But just wanted to say I enjoyed IT CROWD. The last 5 min for me were hilarious, and reminded me of a real life story where I was the guy talking about my glasses . The rest of the show before that was pretty mediocore, but what can I say? I like British TV comedy. I give it about half a season to last
No. Better yet, all he had to do was listen to the Sara Cox show on the BBC. You need an interpreter to understand her, even if you live in Great Briton, which I dont. With guests like Dick and Dumb, no more need be said.
"Australian IT workers concerned about migrants"
Yeah, who isnt.
If you have a boom in labor demand that is impossable for the local population to fill, immigration might make sense. In todays world, in developed countries, that just isnt the case. If it were different in Australia, then IT workers wages would not be going down, they would be going up in spite of immigration.
If misory enjoys company, Australia, you have plenty of it. Heard last year that there were loads of Chinese in Europe taking all kinds of jobs away, particularly the menial kind. And then, lol though not funny, there has been the constant complaint about those Polish plumbers in Germany and France.
Oh come on give me a break. Basic physics in high school taught us that because of specific gravity and density, if King Kong really existed his weight would keep him flat on his back. It has to do with dynamic simularity and Bukingham's constants / theory. You cant just scale something up 10 dimensions bigger than it is. Even Leonardo di Vinci knew that. And they had several disasters in the 1800s because the designers of some ships and bridges were too stupid to take what should have been obvious into there plans. Sort of like the screw ups at NASA today, like inches in one calulation and centimeters in another equals 300 mil literally thrown away . To put it more simply about dynamic similarity, etc, just think of the area of something being squared, but its' volume being cubed.
Based on my own experience, I would say it is true that more women then men are using the internet. And the BBC article that some have posted, also confirms with my experience. Many, oh hell, all of these women want to socialize, make a "connection", become friends, etc.. I can tell you that is what has happened to me on the MMORG COH. And yes they are really women. The emails and phone conversations we have had have confirmed this.
This is getting maybe off the subject, but has it occured to anyone that maybe this is happening in general in life, both business and personal, as women have become more involved and less passive in society. Before, when it was a "man's" world, activities and functions were well defined. I mean if you went swimming or jogging, it was for that reason. Or MMORG gaming. Now with so many girls involved, it gets into more of a social thing. Yeah, I know, if guys are around girls they start chasing after them. But it seems to me it's more of the girls doing the chasing. Sort of what McLuan said about us changing from a left brained reuductionist society to holiistic right brained. And isnt that more suited to women's brain chemistry? So maybe it is naturally becoming a women's world anyhow with the technological changes that have happened. And with these changes we are getting a new perspective of things and a new way of thinking. Because after all, isnt thinking and ways to think a very polymorphis occurance.
OMG did I say all that?
Some of what I have wrote to Slashdot has been filtered, censored, in short not included. EG anything in parenthses doesnt get through. And they are normal words in the parentheses. I think I have seen them do the same with what they consider vulger words like f-. The way people get around that in MMORGs is by just adding one more letter like in omffg with 2 fs. And dude, lol, no offense, but if you dont know what a MMORG is, I think you aint no geek and / or whitehat hacker. Heavon forbid if you were a blackhat hacker. My gf has strictly forbid me to talk to people like that. She also has had me drink 3 glasses of milk a day, obey my mommy and daddy, and be kind to dumb animals, especially the 2 legged ones at the RIAA or whatever the fascists call themselves today lol. Enjoy the rest of the holiday. I know I will:).
On the contrary, it has a great deal to do with value, if not everything. In the ninties you could have bought any number of high tech companies and been a paper millionare instantly. I know some people that were. Later they were worth less money then with what they started. If you bought 100 grand of Amazon in the late ninites, would you still be worth 100 grand today?
Let me give an analogy. Would you pay me half a mil for my 30 grand Toyota? If the answer is yes, please write back. I'll draw up the papers immediately.
Yeah I heard a couple of years ago that his company started making a profit. It was about 3c a share. Dont follow the stock , so maybe the company is making more money now.
But seriously, Tinrobot, if you are saying his wealth is in his stock, I dont think this is a realistic measurement. Most of Bill Gate's wealth is in Microsoft, but at the moment that is pretty real. Microsoft generates loads of money. Look at the mega dividend they payed a few years ago. And as for sales of $8 bil., it aint how much sales you make but how much profit. The new economy before the dot com bust didnt think profits mattered. Well when reality struck it mattered to a great many people at a great many companies. How did Amazon survive? They had a long burn rate from the cash horde they raised in public offeriings. Happy Holidays:)
