It looks like you are trying to switch to linux.
How can I help you to stay honest?
- show me bogus statistics about how much better and more secure windows is
- threat me with patent lawsuits
- offer me more DRM
Other calls centers included in the survey included banking, cell phone service, cable and satellite television, and insurance
oh yeah, thats a good survey, because having trouble with a cable coming to your house is so comparable (because equally easy to figure out and solve) to several million if not billion lines of sourcecode, transistors, ultra small cables, chips etc. and not forget all the registry values that might be screwed up... (yes, its appropriate to say they have a registry... we are talking about windows... F/LOSS users solve their problems on their own...)
Man, how often did I read such announcements from german politicians in the past 2 years or so?... nothing came so far...
as always I say: JUST TRY AND FAIL
within a week p2p would go over ssl encrypted, anonymized connections tunneled over port 80... try to filter that!
but since there is a little problem called undecidability I guess they're all not even really trying - they're just trying to scare the non-computer-scientists away from p2p ("uh, I better stop downloading - that system might catch me")
Microsoft recognizes the importance of interoperability, which is why we are doing the things we are in our products
microsofts products aren't even interoperable with each other (Office and Works? OneCare and Outlook[ Express]?)...
if they really wanted interoperability, then why
- are you not allowed to write a 100% openXML compatible office software based on the docs?
- is smb changed just when linux support was finally good?
- is the default filesystem changed just when linux support for ntfs got kinda working?
- do they threat to sue the wine project, just because its kinda compatible to the windows api?
I've read about this on another tech news site and there they saied that neither windows, nor OS-X have trouble with multiple CPUs - but both have trouble with multiple Cores within one CPU
yes, it looks so easy...
but this may lead to strange errors that non-pros might not understand... for example
int count = 0;
for-every a in list do
count = count+1;
should give you the length of the list, right?
in parallel computing it might give you any number between 1 and the actual length of the list...
non-pros might not understand, what is "thread-safe" and what isn't...
I think this concept would hurt the IT industry - many programs could have bugs that the authors might not be able to find, just because someone gave them a gun as a toy...
at my university I have seen experts on multithreading making mistakes in thread safety... if you ask me: yes, parallel programming IS just too hard...
no, they won't pull the plug, but they considered doing it in 1997... with the intention to hurt Apple... although they didn't - even considering it is imo another example why MS is the most evil corporation ever... http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/05/ 2129253

did you know that most people, who accuse others of being gay, are actually trying to cover up their own latent homosexuality?

I'm curious to see what happens, if Blai^H^H^Hrown or Bush learn that the UK National Archive has got a time-bomb...
yeah, letz go and kick their asses... ;-)

does it run on vista, too?
I hear that vista locks photoshop out - to push ms paint as new industry standard...
does this mean that my boss will read, what I really think about him?

I've looked it up
they saied that both Windows and OS-X can handle at most 4 cores (but have no problem with more CPUs)
if they really wanted interoperability, then why
- are you not allowed to write a 100% openXML compatible office software based on the docs?
- is smb changed just when linux support was finally good?
- is the default filesystem changed just when linux support for ntfs got kinda working?
- do they threat to sue the wine project, just because its kinda compatible to the windows api?
liars...
yes... it helps us switch to the right software...

don't forget: the software doesn't only need to be uptodate, but also availiable in multiple languages and for multiple architectures...
but this may lead to strange errors that non-pros might not understand... for example
should give you the length of the list, right?
in parallel computing it might give you any number between 1 and the actual length of the list...
