Maybe the students can pay attention and actually use a pen and paper! Like they were all really busy transcribing her lectures. IMing and reading email is more like it. If you cannot be in a classroom without a laptop then how did you get to college in the first place?
Yes, that is my point. They develop the XMLHTTPRequest and then wait until everyone and his brother has used it to write an Ajax library until they release Atlas.
Give me a break. There is nothing new about asyncronous calls to the server via javascript. I have used many different Ajax libraries on several platforms and I cannot imagine that Atlas will offer anything groundbreaking. Ajax.NET is an excellent library for ASP.NET applications.
Microsoft is trying to jump headfirst into the Web 2.0 pool and coming this late to the party makes them look pretty stupid. Also can we all stop saying Web 2.0, podacst, blog, and mashup?
Perhaps someone oud introduce a Web 2.0 killer, that would be excellent...
I am not sure if the learning curve would be all that bad. Notice that it is set up to utilize the "home row" style of typing on a QWERTY keyboard. I think that its actually pretty cool and would definitely cut down on the carpal tunnel.
So are you saying that every enlisted person in Iraq signed up just prior to the invasion and will full knowlege of the circumstances? Or is it possible that some of the troops were enlisted already and therefore deployed? What would you say their motive for enlisting was?
Alienware may make nice laptops but the things are just stupid looking. There has got to be nothing more embarrasing then sitting down at Borders and whipping out [lift with your knees - not you back] a bright green laptop with a glowing alien head on the lid.

Come on man, are you telling me that you really can't see what people are saying to you? Regardless of your feelings on the war, you are trashing a group of individuals that are selfless and brave.
You disagree with the war on terror, fine. But don't insult a group of individuals who have the courage to put their life on the line for you. They deserve better than you. They deserve ultimate gratitue and honor.
that this is why box office sales are delining. I disagree beacuse unless you have a wicked awesome home entertainment setup you are not going to rival seeing a film in a theater.
Box offie sales are declining because 90% of the films suck. No one wants to pay see that in the theater or pay to download it from Amazon.

That has got to be the most strangled and embarrasing analogy I have ever heard. It makes me feel all dirty - like I'm in some kind of cult. Lighten up!

DSL maybe, or perhaps Feather Linux?

Please stop saying "M$" - it looks stupid.

the show based on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy drew only one standing ovation in more than three hours
Wow - it must have really sucked.

Its easy!

that this site looks terrible? The layout and color are horrible!

I should have submitted a story that Elvis was still alive. Tons of traffic - no facts needed!

Okay folks, lighten up... I think he's got it.

I think you may be right. They should try to stand apart though, maybe through a whole new article of clothing. "Blue Shoe" has a nice ring to it.

The 'Blue' part comes from the color of screens that Microsoft staffers see on campus.
Someone had to say it, folks!

proven the value of frosting with your wheat
Rest assured that slashdotters are very aware of the value of frosting their wheat.

Is Google the only company that does not give out this information? How common is this?
