Almost nothing is 'built-in' to SharePoint. SharePoint is a platform, not an application. The ability to allow 3rd party applications to be written and dropped into SP is the upside. Another big upside is native integration with Office applications and Active Directory.
SharePoint can suck fantastically though, it's true. This is often (always?) due to admins or engineers who think of it as some kind of installable app. Poor implementation, along with poor governance (i.e. "Hey Bill, you can be the 'SharePoint guy'...m'kay?"), and minimal knowledge can make a SharePoint environment the worst thing ever.
And BTW, you can do exactly what you are describing with file security with SharePoint (I have). You not knowing how != impossible.
I don't know. Decade when I started driving, if I was behind someone drifting in and out of their lane, driving 15 MPH below the speed limit for no reason, etc...it was a 2:30AM and they were drunk. Rarely if ever happened during the day (and that was 500 of freeway commute time every month). Now I see this constantly; like every other day at least. Some knob almost causing an accident while texting or dialing with one hand.
Define 'mobile device'. Like a smartphone? Or a laptop? Netbook? My smartphone gets really hot just streaming YouTube or Pandora. I imagine streaming full on Google TV would require serious cooling.
It's even easier if you have an XBox360 integrated with the W7MC. And, BTW, your cable box is a tuner, albeit a digital one. I use a TiVo which has Netflix streaming built-in.
from TFA: "...monitor the wireless traffic during their Computer Systems Engineering class and made an announcement at the beginning of a class period explaining what I'd be doing."
So does this represent what would really be so if he hadn't told them ahead of time?
1. No one ever attempted to do so, so I don't know. When King of Kings came out the studio had to get 'permission' from the Vatican.
2. You don't know what 'mainstream' means.
3. With the exception of the South Park movie, those are all very low distribution films. And the SP movie was pandering to a teeny, tiny demographic and was in and out of theaters in a week (or less in my area).
4. Yes, they were just a few drawings...that were published to billions of people.
5. Last I checked, Mormons count themselves as Christian. They are certainly part of the worldwide empire of Christendom (i.e. for-profit, praise the Lord, pray-for-pay churches). These days, any group that calls itself that...is that. I don't agree (sounds like you don't' either), but whatever.
6. You don't know what the qualifier 'prone to' mean.
Until recently (less than 50 years ago), Christians perceived depiction of Jesus on Screen to be blasphemous. And even today, a mainstream film damn well better show Jesus as Anglo. If they were to show him as he likely was, olive-skinned with Middle Eastern traits, there would be frickin' riots in from the of the theaters. Remember Islam is, by far, the youngest of the other religions you named (except Mormonism, but that's a Christian sect). Young religions (Christianity included) are prone to extremism. It sucks I know, but that has been and always will be a fact.
Do they include the extreme edge of the oceans (i.e. beaches) where the 'depth' is only a few millimeters? Or do they go out to sea a standard distance before they start measuring?
Technically true. But the gap will be become less and less relevant as time passes. Like I was twice as old as my little brother when I was 12, but now the 6 year difference is much less noticeable. And in 30 years it will be imperceptible. I guess you could think of it in terms of percentages instead of years. Christianity is about 130% more mature than Islam. In 300 years it will be down to about 115% (or so).
Again, this isn't Civ IV. It's not as if it goes from A to Z. Things like genocide and forced relocation tend to set cultures back a century or two. But yes, old-world Muslims invented things like algebra and chess. They were once some of the best educated people in the world.
Probably a lot, sadly enough. There is kind of a J-curve with these kinds of things. But the enlightenment has to be organic. If the world tries to force it, it will just get worse.
Before people cry 'dude relax...what's the big deal?', they need to read their history. Remember that Islam is many centuries younger than Christianity. If one looks at Christianity from circa 1550 they will see atrocities, brutalizing of the irreverent, and murdering of heretics. Sometimes en masse. Heck, even so-called Christian nations felt Jesus' image was too sacred to display on-screen until the early 1900's
And before you say, 'yeah but this is 2010, they should be over that in these modern times!', remember that the real world is not like a game of Civilization; not all cultures started at the same time. In a few centuries, or less, Islam will be mellowed out.
Along those lines I have read legal descriptions of real estate plats with all kinds of stuff in them. They are supposed to be verbose, boring descriptions like:
A PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED IN THE STATE OF CA, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, WITH A SITUS ADDRESS OF 915 REAL ESTATE ST, LOS ANGELES CA 90010-3531 C059 CURRENTLY OWNED BY HOUSER HOMER J AND LOTS ROSE M AND HAVING A TAX ASSESSOR NUMBER OF 5090-012-034 AND BEING THE SAME PROPERTY MORE FULLY DESCRIBED AS TRACT # 8076 AND DESCRIBED IN DOCUMENT NUMBER 1020134 DATED 03/22/2003 AND RECORDED 04/14/2003.
I have seen ones, approved by the permit people no less, with instructions to the 'bat cave', lyrics from Pink Floyd, and all kinds of weird junk.
Even the article say so: "We have to say that being carried skin to skin by a warm human body in a baby-carrier (aka 'kangaroo care') actually sounds a lot more humane, safe and baby-friendly for a newborn than being carried strapped to a board in a giant plastic box...But, we have to ask: wouldn't a low-tech solution of using a cloth baby-carrier on a compassionate person often be better, safer, cheaper and easier than this ginormous contraption? It's been scientifically shown that the best way to regulate the breathing and heartbeat of a newborn infant is to have that infant snuggle up, chest-to-chest, skin-to-skin with his mom or dad right after birth."
Also, it's 2010. We don't call them 'third world countries' anymore. We call them 'developing nations'. The former is so Cold War...
I remember when Wave was first being mentioned as a replacement for SharePoint Server (MOSS). Not sure if it's still thought of that way. From what I've seen in Wave, I doubt it could do the same job....
As least confusing 'kiss the sky' with 'kiss this guy' makes sense, given the hippie culture it was written in. But why would anyone think the Golden Girls theme song would refer to Soviet astronauts?

They should be using Beowulf cluster of 10,000 4GB encrypted USB drives. God, I would pay money to see something like that....
Hells YEAH! All the others are Quiznos. And the real rathole towns are stuck with Blimpies.
Gambling is gaming, but gaming is not gambling. Like the old saying 'a raisin is a plum, but a prune is not a grape'....wait, is that right?
Yeah we use it all time here in 1997

Didn't realize that 'surf the web' was a requirement for something to be called a computer. Here I thought all those AIX servers were computers....

But the case is so pretty. I...can't...stop....must...resist....
Yeah I thought so too ;)
It was modded 'insightful 2' for a while. I guess this is a pretty emotional issue for a lot of people.

You sound like a real super guy. You make a wrong on your way to Arizona?

Like I said it was featured (i.e. on the main page).
