Royal Bank of Canada is giving away the Eee PC if you open an account and remain for two years. Of course, the service fees over that time will cover the wholesale cost of the unit.
There is nothing wrong with fair competition, but Microsoft does not consider any competitor as being fair competition. Their business model is destroy competition and then milk the market for what they can get.
Outside of the USA, countries are fearful of the USA holding all the source and control of their software. Microsoft, to succeed, will have to become a global developer, where semi-autonomous software labs are established in each country where such concerns are present. (Europe, Russia, Euraisia, South America, etc. )
Regarding Linux, it is already that way, and the plus is that the source code is open.
Regarding cloud computing, here again, for security, each country will want to own it's own cloud systems. The era of a Microsoft only world is passe. Will we soon see FOSS cloud systems?
Cobol is fun, there is even an indexed array of go-tos, such as goto xxx, yyy, zzz depending on i.

alter pointer to paragraph b. go to pointer.

Interpol appears at first glance to be a good solution to fighting crime.
You could also have the countries domain pulled if they failed to stop the crimes involving malware, spam, etc.
The gentleman should get a lawyer to represent him.
Your brains and Ideas suggest that you could get venture capitalist funding to do what you do full-time, with at least a 50-50 split for any profits.
I really don't think that they help those who have run into misfortune the way that a filthy rich country should. They do help foreign countries, but as yet the poor in the USA get zippo, nada, nothing, not even some medicare.
There is a place for government in infrastructure. I personally believe that the internet is a communication highway, and that as it is a form of highway, then the federal government is responsible for all interstate roads. So should it be for fibre. The municipalities manage their own roads, of which I believe the above issue is about.
We in Canada have great government/private entrprise partnerships. If the rest of the world can do such great partneerships, then so should any municipality in the USA.
ONLY IN THE USA. Sue the competition (the municipality, so it cannot compete fairly).
If the municipality sub-contracts the support to a Telco competitor, what could they then say.. Could they say "The town did not call for tenders?".
I believe that RH handled it the right way. The problem they encountered required decisive action. The changes to key certificates had to be programmed so that anyone downloading updates would be able to fetch them. It also meant a full recreation of the packages and many libraries.
Coupled with those changes are the substantial amounts of testing to be done.
By going wide open with the public, what would be gained? If the security breach was widespread, the other distributions would have been shutdown as well. As it is, they may be ignoring the problem until RH has the fixes well debugged.
I think that the countries that have poligamous men are countries that do not serve french-fries, or high-chlorestic foods. These men eat less and they actually eat better then men from monogamous lifestyle countries.
Even the women there enjoy life more. (Work is shared, and collectively, the children are loved equally)
Correction to lines per day measurement.
In my mainframe days, the programming languages were Cobol and PL1. We measured productivity in number of lines of Cobol written / debugged .
Not too many shops wrote pl1.
I concur with the gyroscopic effects. In the end, it is not a platter solution, I think that a short term solution is a design of a miniature drum, with multiple movable heads covering short areas of drum surface.
SSD is here, and the spinning drive will only become a backing store until pluggable SSD drives appear on the market. I believe that within 5 years, affordable 1 terrabyte SSD drives will be affordable.
With little information such as date of birth, ssn, etc, Someone can do some internet probing, particularly with credit agencies, etc. and before you know it, they have stolen your identity and milked your bank account dry. They could even sell your house out from underyou.
Actually there are three approaches.
a) Eliminate access to the internet, and provide student with a library card -- he can learn to read...
b) Send him to Israel, where science has lead the world -- intel's pentium, dual core cpus, medicine (HIV medicine), Engineering,....
c) Be a parent, available for conversations and stimulating challenges at a student level.
I think I will do likewise when the panels drop in price to around ten dollars a square foot, installed.
For my home, that would amount to around a $20k installation cost, and provide a 20 year payback. The payback period is long because our electricity is pegged at 7.5 cents.
.
If I switch to dual energy (gas/oil/solar vs electricity), it drops to 4 cents/kwh, except in SUB freezing weather peaks (-25f or -12C) where the rate rises to 17 cents.
Our previous homes were fully electrically heated, and they were constructed with Canadian winters in mind.
For Quebec, where I live, 80% of homes are full electric homes. Electricity is not wasted, but is available in surplus.
Cloud computing is renting of software. It has many advantages.
For certain applications (eg: Human Capital Management, otherwise known as HR) the benefits are substantial.
A) global companies can access application from almost anywhere
B) Self-service functionality for employees,
C) Software maintenance is done once for all renters
D) No requirement for software support staff.
E) Backup and restores are vendors reponsibilities.
F) Eliminates that huge front end licensing charge for at-home applications.
Drawbacks. If you want to switch vendors, it is problematic. Similarly if you want to repatriate the system inhouse.
Again, for HCM, and salesforce automation, cloud computing is a good alternative.
I find that the editor is a great tool for matching braces, quotes, and any constructs that require matching. A good editor knows about nesting as well as comments.
I don't look at programming as a primary skill. What I think we should be doing is teaching algorithms. Then, in the teaching of algorithms, we ask the student to use a specific language or method to program the algorithm.
In my view, the algorithm's implementation in the target language will drive the student to excel. The student will be learning something useful. Just to teach programming and doing a simple read/write to a file, or simple task will not develop the proper skills and in the latter case the student will not receive the challenge to master the language. A "for loop" in any language is still a "for loop", the student needs more challenges.
With BSD, I take the code, put a wrapper around it, and file for a patent. Of course my wrapper adds a non-significant change, (convert text to upper case, or something as simple).
So I am very much concerned that derivative code is GPL free.
BSD has given birth to Microsoft and to Apple. Wonderful thing for the developers to not benefit in anyway.
I read this fact on Slashdot, Out of China, it is under $2.00 per gig.
It is not unreasonable a price.
An 8gig flashdrive today is $30.00 retail in Canada. That is around $4.00 per gig

In French, most nouns that end in ie, ce, ion are feminine. One can presume the others are for males.

Regarding the bully. Do not answer any of his comments. Ignoring him is the best way. No feedback and he will get frustrated with writing to the air.
