Regardless of that example, people will always prefer a package which provides a facility locally to one that operates over the web, even if the facility is web related.
Most OEMs these days ship their computers with MS Works, the cut-down version of Office, which probably won't have these features, so a lot of people will have to carry on using the online stuff anyway. Those who really know what they're doing will hand-type the HTML (or more likely XHTML) themselves, and whilst most, if not all, offices have Word, I doubt that would be an 'approved use of company time'.
Funnily enough I have the opposite: I'd use Word (or Open Office) for quick one-sided notes or flyers with fancy text effects or other informal aspects, but for formal it has to be TeX every time.
I think you and I are using a different sense of the word 'formal', and saying the same thing in different ways. If I were doing something like a technical book, or, when I get to that stage in my degree, my thesis, I probably would use something like TeX. However, TeX is, IMO, a little overkill for your CV (a lot of people I know simply re-do it every time they need one using Word's CV Wizard).
Regardless of how good it is, there's a fair bit of competition in online blogging systems - many webhosts such as 50megs.com have had built-in html-helpers for years. Besides, when I think of Word, I think of letters & CVs & other formal stuff - certainly not blogging!
As a side note, when the submitter says the HMTL is "not bad", could they clarify that a bit? Is it W3C compliant? (in which case IE6 may have trouble rendering it!)
In the political sitcom Yes, Prime Minister, there's a scene where one senior civil servant explains to a younger, less experienced one how it's done.
The issue at hand was scrapping nukes in favour of conventional forces (the series was done in the 1980s).
The older one asks a series of questions such as "Are you worried about the number of young people without jobs?", "Do you think young people lack discipline?" etc, culminating in "Would you be in favour of re-introducing National Service?" - to which all the answers were "Yes".
A second set of questions was then asking, which were more negative, such as "Are you worried about levels of crime?", and the end result this time was "Would you oppose re-introducing conscription?". This set also recieved consecutive "Yes" answers.
Clearly, then, it's not too hard to see how they got people to say what they wanted them to say. It's just politics, sadly.
Here in the UK you legally get (at least) an hour break for an eight hour shift. If this guy wasn't using it, that's IMO his own fault for getting problems. You should always take what breaks you have, not only for obvious health reasons, but also because the more you do for people the more they expect from you.
I'm not so sure. Remember how the PS2 sucked at playing DVDs? Some people might remember that this time round, just as some remember the last really big-scale format war (VHS vs Beta).
People have be saying such things about various technologies/inventions for decades, if not centuries. It's just a way to produce a knee-jerk type reaction.
Presumably what it means is that 11% is the greatest single figure. There's lots of different places to get news from, and if this survey differentiates between news channels, it likely also does so with, for example, newspapers.
I live in halls of residence at the University of Manchester. As I work on the support team, I know that all P2P applications, inc. torrents, are blocked by the network packetteer. So if this feature does get put in, we'll get all sorts of complaints from users...
"We expect the dominant console at the end of the next cycle to be the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3), primarily due to our assessment that Sony will win the high definition DVD format war,"
Considering neither HD-DVD or Blu-Ray have been released, that's a big assumption. Personally I suspect (and hope) that the VHS vs Betamax war will still be in many people's minds, and both new formats will end up flopping. If that does happen, then WMS's own analysis suggests the PS3 may crash as well.
"The GX2 cards are benched (when possible) at resolution of 2560 by 1600 with 32X SLI AA and compared to a Crossfire x1900 XTX system on a variety of games."
Who actually has a monitor capable of such a high resolution?
Secondly, correct me if I'm wrong, but CrossFire currently is two cards side by side, and if four cards don't perform significantly better than two, I'd be very worried.
...they're just following Microsoft's excellent example.
Seriously though, I would put more blame on the game publishers forcing games out early (LucasArts is especially bad for this) than those who write them.
Something like this had to happen sooner or later. I have my Hotmail account's junk filters set to exclusive (address book only) and I still get junk in my inbox.

The review says the book includes Gmail. Last time I checked (admittedly a few months back) Gmail was still in beta and invite-only. Has this changed?

And what about, for example, if you lose a 6 month long case against, say, the RIAA?

It was just a year or two ago we figured out the Milky Way is in the middle digesting another smaller galaxy in the direction of Saggitarius.
I hope our galaxy, the Milky Way, doesn't get indigestion then.
I remember hearing something about this [b]years[/b] ago. Is this old news or have they found galaxies additional to those already known?

TFA isn't very deep, I was expecting an interesing and in-depth read.
As the old joke goes: Nostalgia just ain't what it used to be.
What I mean is, the PS2 is notorious for scratching DVDs. I don't own a PS2 myself, but I've seen it happen.

Whilst you make a good point, I really don't know what MS's strong point is. Can anyone point it out to me?
What use is, for example, a compiler, to someone without high technical knowledge?
Honestly, where do they get some of these authors?

Maybe missiles are needed against the 'terrorists'?
I'm not American, but surely this law is in someway illegal? Like maybe freedom of speech, and competition [of formats, hence companies]?

This is MY kind of science!
