Ha! My automated bill payment system is *much* better, and I've been using it for many years. It validates the bills when they come in, and only pays when they are due. It maintains my account balance and lets me know at any time what my balance is doing and what's coming due. It follows up with creditors with any billing errors, too, and ensures they are corrected. It even balances my checkbook every month.
The only downside is that it's pretty expensive. Yea, all my bills get paid, but most of my leftover income goes to maintaining the service!
First, some theorists think the sun produces a field that changes the value of the fine structure constant on Earth as its distance from the sun varies.
As any decent programmer would tell you, if it changes you call it a variable.
Your company only owns what you wrote for them using their resources, the stuff that's on their drives. They don't own what's in your head. My advice: Re-write it and open source it.
mobile computing is their world is it? now let's see..
- everyone had hotmail ids once; it would seem webmail was/their/ world. no one would say that now.
- most people never heard of another OS than Windoze. it would seem PCs were/their/ area. i doubt it now.
- IE was the browser king. it would imply that they owned all of www. is IE doing that well now?
- let's not even get started on zune..
The only thing that I can say MS has a decent product is their Office package (at least for now..); everywhere else they suck - big time.
but in some cases having a monopoly platform is what enabled the explosion in IT and the penetration of computers into the corporate and home worlds. I remember the way things were back in the late 70s and early 80s. I remember headaches trying to get a Wang document to translate to an Osborne CP/M system. Having a common platform, and for some applications a completely common interface, is really a good thing. Think cars, road dimensions, and gas nozzle sizes. Standardizing is the important thing here - your car can pretty much drive on any road, and stop at any gas station because of these standards. Ummm, so you're saying everyone should buy a Ford? cool idea.
Going by the fact that it's mumbai, the policy was likely pushed by the underworld? not unlikely either. The indian police is as tech-savvy as my bull-terrier. All you need is some extortionist feeding some new ideas into the already corrupt khakhi-heads!
well i remember Linus comparing microkernels to 'masturbating' sometime back. It seems as h/w continues to grow in power and several other factors contributing, pushing more stuff to userspace will now look a better idea after all.

They're probably consolidating Bing down to a netbook to better serve the dozen or so people who use Bing.
And most of them are related to Steve Ballmer.

GO Ballmer be the champion for openness and also 3Es (Embarce, Extend and Extingush) PS: Can you please mail me whatever that you are smoking?
It's called 'Pineapple Express'.
So can this plugin be used to find people hosting files and do away with centralized servers hosted in no-you-can-sue-in-this-country?
RTFA. The computer was being fed random and wildly varying attitude inputs.
They should get Debian software.
Have you tried Dr. Gregory House, I hear he's the best.

The IOC is going to lose a LOT of credibility over this (as if they have much left to begin with) if they don't do something about it soon.
What's that I hear you say? ISO losing credibility? Oh you meant the IOC..
Oh, come on don't you spoil our neat little flamefest based on mere guesswork and Anti-Apple bias with your boring and irrelevant facts, please.
I mean this if Slashdot, if you want news, please go to CNN.com. Ah, damned, they don't want their stories being diluted by facts either...
If you want facts go to the Onion [theonion.com] for pete's sake!
So how does this compare, to BMW for example, where their German workforce is also highly unionized?
No! quite the opposite (they were very ionized) and had to be degaussed.
Its probably a good time to remind people that the distributed computing project to search for dangerous NEOs is soon to get under way.
But isn't the 6th Neo supposed to save us once and for all?
