Just because these "Journalists" were lazy and irresponsible does not mean there is something wrong with Wikipedia. How do you even know the problem originated in Wikipedia. It may have been a newspaper article that prompted the initial edit to wikipedia.
I hope he responds, I think this will be fascinating. Maybe he is thinking of TCAM, which of course is not a bus (although accessed from one), not in anyone's desktop PC and probably not what he was thinking of at all.
The article does not even make sense. It is difficult to identify what he is arguing against. On one hand he is mentioning google apps, but he seems to be arguing against enterprise applications using web interfaces.
None of his arguments against deploying web based enterprise applications actually have anything to do with deploying applications in the enterprise. All enterprise organizations standardize on one or two supported browsers, surely this is not any worse than installing another application on every computer? The quote from SUN has nothing at all to do with the rest of the article and somehow makes it into the summary.
They key problem with the article is he does not offer a single alternative to deploying enterprise applications to users scattered across a high latency WAN, he just says "reconsider". Just because he is not aware of the existence of filtering firewalls and transparent proxies, we are supposed to go back to the world of thick client applications with the whole host of problems that brings to an organization?
Ajax does not simulate anything, it is just a new way of doing something that does not requiring installing and maintaining a thick client on the desktop. Surely keeping the business logic in the data center and sending your users only the data they desire is far superior to sending a massive pile of data across the WAN or VPN and then processing it on the desktop, just because it might have enough CPU power.

That was the most amusing part of the story. Nintendo has never marketed the brain games to kid, nor have I seen them claim to be homework helpers. The brain games where invented to sell the DS to older adults who traditionally did not buy game consoles.
Well he is French, probably not interested in reality.
80% of/. never heard of the presidential inaguaration comittee web site.
90% of the remaining 20% will not watch any of it over the Internet (Perhaps TV!!).
90% of the remaining 10% of 20% will watch a stream from a major media outlet (CNN, CSPAN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, CBS...)
99.9% of the remaining 10% of 10% of 20% will be using Windows or OSX (Intel-Mac)
The President elect would like to extend his heart felt apologies to Chuck in Ohio.
Of course the bigger problem will be submitting papers in Word format. Often times documents created in OpenOffice just do not look right when opened in Word.
If MS would bother to buy the license for Word and or Windows we could all start submitting papers as PDFs and be done with that mess.
"Guess what? If I buy music, I also want to be able to share it with my friends (friends!=p2p) without being traced on ending up sued."
So click convert to MP3 in itunes and share the MP3 with your friends. The info is not there, the loss is insignificant.
I know the loss is insignificant to you because 90% of the people who can tell the difference work in the Music industry and would not be making your argument.
Of course if you take away the ability of creative people to earn a living with their talent, than there will not be any "information" worth sharing.
Your argument is childish and uninformed.
You do know that Apples and Amazons catalog of DRM free music have been fairly similar. Amazon got a little ahead about 6 months ago and is now behind again.
Apple still owns the Copyright and can register it at any time. This only helps Pystar if they intend to stop infringing on Apple's Copyright. Apple can register today and file a suit for Statuatory damages tomrrow.
Actually if his first point is untrue, there is no reason for the site to exist. Anything that generates more traffic to spiders than users has no point in existing.
What on earth are you people talking about.. The photos on the apple web site do not do justice to the extreme thinness of the iPod Touch. Doctored photos on some bad photo-shoppers blog not withstanding.. Go to an apple store and pick one. Bring calipers and measure it if you like.
Power6 was the first one where they solved the high frequency power leakage problems by doing a hybrid design, so I assume it is not a Power5. Your point is still valid though:). It is doubtful that the power 6 beats any current Intel or AMD cpu for $/performance.
For raw single chip performance it would be hard to beat.

I would not have believed it had you not said a yardstick. You can not make that up, lol. Thanks.
Any employer that would disqualify you soley based on blog postings from a Google search is not a place where you want to work.
Just because the author does not know how to change something does not make it "locked".
Of course any US history book or even a non-retarded 10th grader could have solved that dilemma for you.

I hope you realize all of your arguments are talking about different subjects than the person you are responding to.
You are comparing apples and giraffes.

Apple had the EMI catalog DRm free before Amazon sold any digital music at all. Amazon initially only had the EMI catalog as well.

If the Barney song does not make you love America... umm NM
I apologize for not seeing your apology before I posted :)

It is not "free" , stop believing the lies. Every time you sit through a commercial you have "paid".
Just did it, took me 14 seconds from the time I read your post.
Lol that should have been rated funny.
