I'm sorry... How is following a set of standards "drinking the Koolaid"?
Using MS tools for everything because management says it's "good policy" instead of using the right tool for the job is drinking the Koolaid (or at least management drank the Koolaid).
True. One of them will catch on, though. It's inevetable. People are interested in HD. The government is pushing the deployment and adoption of HD whether we like it or not. One of these formats will win, that's a guarantee. Which one, however, is the $419,834.20 question ($64,000 in 1958 taking in to account inflation).
Well, to be fair, when writable DVD's came out, the media surpassed 1 GB per dollar, but now they are down to about 0.07 cents per GB. It's all about availability and market demand. Once one of the formats catches on, the drive prices will drop (remember when DVD writers were 500 or 600 bucks a pop?) and the media prices will drop too.
Hey, hot shot... You forget one thing. Most of today's hydrogen is made from what? Natural Gas. Even the alternative, electrolysis, is expensive and requires lots of electricity which is produced mostly from what? Natural Gas and Coal.
So much for the squeaky clean hydrogen fuel theory, huh.
I've wondered this myself. As a test, I opened up FireFox 1.5 (I have a fair amount of extensions loaded also), created 5 tabs and opened up 5 IE windows with the exact same URL's as the 5 pages in FireFox. FireFox was taking up 120M. The sum of all the IEs open was 112M. So, the difference wasn't that great, or at least not as great as one would think. I haven't looked at a FireFox with no extensions compared to IE yet (don't feel like deleting all my extensions just to find out). I'm sure deleting the extensions would bring them into closer alignment.
