For me as a programmer, the rally against Mono makes no sense.
Also have you considered that maybe the other versions of ERP software that were available were either worse or much more expensive? There is nothing in.NET that limits use to IE if that's done then you have the vendor to blame not the technology. I work with an set of (very expensive) Oracle products every day that utilize JSP (Java Server Pages) and until a few months ago the only browser supported was IE 7.
It's not just operating systems, if the application does reporting or comparisons involving date ranges it most likely will need to implement the Tz database which is available in many languages (ex. Ruby,.NET.)
Hey at the end of the day is was a application built by Accenture... my guess is it wasn't the operating system or.net framework that was hacked or there would have been a lot more compromised sites.
6th paragraph:
“We've had discussions for years with both companies in an attempt to resolve this issue amicably, and we have not been able to reach a satisfactory agreement,”
People should really read the article...
God i can't imagine trying to lean assembly right out of the gate. I definitely think if they did that it would narrow the field as a lot of people would probably run away screaming. I think its a good idea to start out new programmers on a language designed to for learning like python or pascal.
On a side note I think its mildly retarded that so many schools have entry level college courses for CS majors start off at such a novice level.
Who is going to enforce those sanctions? Seems to me like every time the UN does anything is ten's of thousands of Americans put in harms way. Not saying others don't help but to my knowledge Americans generally make up over half of the fighting force.
I kinda agree with what your saying. I don't see my self running a mac any time soon because I don't think I should have to buy specific hardware to run an OS built to run on commodity hardware.
I think for the all-in-one market though its a toss up, but in the end I think the dell will win out. Lets face it your average user wants what they have at work or the ability to play games and they are not going to use bootcamp/vmware/Parallels. Most of them are clueless on how to even reload the operating system. Even if a user has the know how to use bootcamp, I believe that although it may work, it is discontinued/unsupported with the latest version of OSX. I have yet to see someone using VMWare but Parallels is a joke if you need to do anything resource intensive in that it only allows you to utilize the a single core for the virtual machine.
Having done stuff with an 8051 microcontroller I believe Ethernet is probably the easiest setup as most of the code for setting up communication is already available and each microcontroller can handle something like 8 sensors.
Especially now because of this article and comments they know all they have to do is remove the battery or reset the cmos jumper to clear the firmware password. That is if they know how to use google.
Your assuming that joe blows budget hosting company that probably bought their site on template monster has the money to hire a developer to build this system. Or in my ex-employers case wants to use that developer to develop internal applications when they can make money by developing for other people at a much higher price.
Having worked for a hosting company that did low budget hosting, I have to say those customers were not our primary concern. If they got "hacked", we got paied to fix "their" problem/mistake. Our techs were basically instructed to spend as little time with those people as possible. There was no way they were going to get billing to verify information and no way techs were going to have direct access to that info as they circulated in and out. (Half of them were pretty shady to begin with.)

A hard keyboard + ConnectBot make my Samsung Epic a good fit...

I am pretty sure HTML5 is still a draft and given Safari's market share I wouldn't expect many developers to design specifically for Safari.
For me its design to suit IE and Firefox. Generally Firefox and WebKit render about the same so no worries.

Anyway just my 2.5 cents.

Murder its part of the "Mac Experience" and its now part of your support contract.
Please have the sophistication to refer to breaking into a computer as something other than Hacking. :)

Better yet give out numbers you find in the back of the local "scene" paper. There are plenty of strange people for them to talk.

You get what you pay for. Bottom line.
Besides if they did buy AMD then it would be an Intel chip vs. an Apple crisp. Mmmmm ruffles....
Got Mod?
We would probably get Carrot Top or at best Will Smith.
