The software still needs to be written. The programs still need to be run somewhere.
Technically not much has changed. The "Cloud" is still made up of servers that have to be administered. The main effect is that the IT and network admins will have to keep up with technology, especially the new virtualization layers between the hardware and the running application. But keeping up to date has always been a part of working in IT.
Well. There are exceptions. I for one was pretty BAD at school because I have a somewhat bad memory for facts. But since in "real live" you don't really need to know much facts, you just need to know where to look them up and logically combine them to reach a solution I probably have a better job now than many college graduates.
Of course the bad "score" in education meant I couldn't get that job right away, I had to work my way up for a few years by showing what I was actually able to do in real life.
And THAT might be the real plus of the new memory over DRAM and SRAM.
The memory not needing power while sleeping, or even while sitting idle, thereby extending battery life.
What I absolutely *don't* get is why the summary made a connection to re-boots. There is nothing that I can see how the layout of the memory has any implication on whether an OS needs to be rebooted or not.
FCC re-evaluates their rules and puts wireless internet access in the same boat as wired.
Well, the FCC can regulate all it wants, but it can't change the laws of physics. You *can* easily double the bandwidth of a WIRED connection by adding a second pair of wires or a new line of fibre. Speeding up WIRELESS up is much more tricky and costly.
That's what I have been doing in my little terminal window for 15 years already with tab completion.
It pretty much seems Gnome is trying to combine the shortfalls from the command line with the shortfalls of the GUI. Make a GUI that is supposedly "optimized for touch" and then you have to "type" to get to stuff?
That is actually the new business model for a lot of companies it seems.
1) Create business model that does not work but attracts a lot of customers 2) Go broke 3) Sell the customer base and/or customer data to another company.
I kinda wait for the Metro to arrive at the platform and Bob stepping out of it. (After all, that was their last try at a "non-technical" user interface.)
It's IT. Everything that is "over" (Mainframes, Dumb Terminals) will be the "next big thing" a while later under a different name (Cloud, Web2.0 Clients)
Oh, *technically* it does get copy and pasted. Only everything gets pasted into one single cell in Excel. Both in SQL Server 2000 and 2005, with Excel 2000 and 2005.
It works on an US setup, but it doesn't work under German language settings. Since the data in the clipboard seems to be text/csv, and the German Excel can't handle the text/csv correctly since the "," is the decimal separator.
On the other hand, it works just fine from our Oracle SQLTools, who decided to use a more robust and language independent clipboard mime format.

That's what I love about working for a small outfit.
I'm the DBA *and* developer *and* do the GUI.
All the fun and none of the political bickering. ;-P

Well. No matter what I would approach anyone claiming to have a genuine "video" of WWII with some caution. Better look for the film original. ;-P

So after the "Dark Ages", the "Renaissance" and the "Industrial Age" we will be known as the "Stupid Age"? ;-)

From a German point of view, I can say that you are not completely on the wood-way there.
Well. What won the last US election?
"Yes, we CAN!!" or "Yes, IT'S THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE!!"
Well, funny enough the T4 also really IS a minivan. ;-P
Whoosa spake meesa could spell? ;-)

Good thing I already fled to LXDE.
And according to the article, too, it has two exiting new features:
- Blinking Ewoks
- Darth Vader screaming "Noooo!!!" while throwing the Emperor down the generator shaft.
Which is kinda fitting, since my comment to those exiting new features would be:
*blink* *blink* "Nooooo!!!!!!"
Downloaded MIDIs from Fidonet.
Of course the *other* option might l be to come up with a "It's done!" browser version.
Like X moving from version 1 in 1984 to version 11 1987 and then just staying at 11. Or LaTeX holding at version 2e since 1994.
They could say "Our browser is finished. The others are still working on theirs, because they can't get their act together, but ours is done!"

Humanity didn't. It died out a few decades back. The only surviving remnant is human-shaped bickering scaredy-cats.
So the basic evolution was Homo Erectus -> Homo Sapiens -> Homo Ignavus

Yes. If I want to update my web browser, I want to update my web browser. I don't want it do do anything else.
If I want to do combinded updates I use the package management do to it.
Yep. WWII also pretty much stopped at the Swiss border, despite messing up the rest of Europe and beyond.
C3 is a typo? Aww, man, I though it might be the next thing, the thing between C# and the beautiful new C4 which completely blows up your computer.
My condolences for your loss.

Unless you try do do something "exotic" like copy/paste some results from SQL Server Query Analzer (MS) to Excel (MS).
Which seems to be pretty much impossible.
