Nah, you don't want to get rid of it either. You probably want broadband enabled context info in a private earphone like the bluetooth cell guys use. It just isn't here yet.
Go observe nature. Then let it warn you of the cliff ahead.
Suppose it were only some $12 a month like Dialup is now. They'd like it. For example there's a huge knitting club that meets in our local bookstore. I have heard them talk about downloading knitting patterns. It would take them 12 seconds instead of 38 minutes each.
It's been discovered that the truncated knowledge domain of Cybering has led it to be exploited as phishing. It's damn tough to tell between a phish bot and someone with terrible typing skills and worse computer knowledge.
Friends past college aren't up to go to Taco Bell at 12:37 at night anymore. Or carry on a really tough conversation about 4 editions of Dante's inferno.
I've heard several times now about the lack of foreign availabilty for Hulu. As AC noted, that shouldn't be a reason not to post the link at all.
However, I don't know of an *authorized* link that works outside yet. The clever guys have already talked about proxy bypasses, but I try to expound within the rules.
In the surrounding support camps to the Mount Everest expeditions, they actually use fuel made of... flaming shit! Problem is, from a low potential stored energy compounded by the thin air, it burns terribly messily, and basically trades warmth for respiratory damage into disease susceptibility for the climbers, who then have real trouble completing the climb.
So, does 7 Flame? Or does it sizzle messily and leave half chewed partially upgraded versions of everything all over your comp?
I agree. Many office people don't need cutting edge effects. This is why XP was able to hold off Vista - it was good enough.
It will still be good enough for a modest time yet. The big thing I see that can unseat XP is something like Windows Lean that has all the juice of fancy support when it needs to, but the CD will install Lean on your spare older box because it just sits there and needs to run your remote notifiers in the server room or something.
MS mostly sent Cleanup to Aisle 4 to get 7 out the door gain, because at least one of their middle managers understands getting something to hold shelf space in the stores.
Maybe. I'm willing to settle for a lowered expectations version - I'm going to pretend it "is" Vista.11 or SP3 or something.
With a little firm talk I helped convince my company not to waste time and money rolling out Vista. But if this is the *small* update, and it took 3 years to get out, the *big* update if MS stays on track, Windows 8, won't be out until 2012. (Neat coincidence!).
Poor Ol' XP can't hold out *that* long.
I think we're gonna need some optional UltraStripped versions of the OS to give us the next boost in Moore's law. Activated by something like UAC, it would be a sliced down this-os that runs fast and clean for guys like me whose workflow is running a terminal services client, Open Office (or Excel-03 when OO Calc misbehaves), and a local copy of Outlook plus a few funny utilities.
All it would have to do is say "hmm. You stepped out of your box and tried something I can't do in Stripped mode. I have to go to Full for this. Be prepared for some ram and cpu usage."
If you have a Replicator, it doe weird things to classical economics. (The only reason the Ferengi do their thing is that latinum has some weird uncopyable quality. )
Frankly, listen to the crowd "I wanted to test it before I spent". Since no one could actually do that before without actually shoplifting, they just gazed in the windows and sulked. But now that they can, it's a collective game of chicken with the classical rules of law.
Until they went off the deep end, the RIAA had a point. Someone violates copyright, they could be sued. Then they screwed up every single other facet possible, and so hosed them. If they just went for a few huge solid case wins, we'd be thinking of them differently.
So now that the Replicator is here, we're all struggling with the economic revisions. Things like DRM *would* have worked on an Old Economy item, like maybe a car accessory. The execs didn't think in time to pay $50,000 to get a month's high quality consulting to tell them it fails in specatularly baroque ways when faced with the Replicator.
We're still in a nascent stage. The guy/group that succeeds is the one that will figure out how to tap all that "Hacker Labor" into something useful, which *then* becomes a tangential corollary payment in a *non-cash* transaction for the game.
One of these weeks I'll float a whole ton of these ideas past our friends at slashdot and see if anything works. But all I do know is the answer will take a thunderous burst of creativity the likes of which sales has not seen for ten years or more.
Sure, and yours is one of the more thorough posts on this, so let's start with yours.
What *can* be added to purchased-only copies? what about those systems that the phone companies use that only activates phone services when you pay at the register?
Cross marketing deal for a free month's worth of minutes, text, and data at AT&T for your iphone?

Seem my post above. Mentioned to you for convenience so you see it in tracking. The knitters are online now too.

It's a P-word thing. (Paradigm).
I'm sorry to say you're right.
According to Alexandr S. m in the Gulag islands, this was a favorite method.
Of course they want it. They just don't want to pay scary fees for it.
It's Old Century Ignorance talking. By 2013 this topic won't exist.
He's joking, but I'm not.

1 Copy of a Hanson's "mmBop" song, or the billable hour when the lawyer laughed and spat coffee all over a brief?
Yep.
I wasn't even deleting cruft. I got stuck trying a normal upgrade, and I got mired in the roman candles of dependencies.
For a minute there I thought you were talking about the US economy.
I've seen Generations 24 and now you with 25 of that sig, but what is the point of faithfully copying the broken word at the end?
I wish it would flame. Analogy time!

A desert sim might be good in tandem with Antartica.
I totally agree with the deep logistics problem of "You're stuck here past day 30" when the glamor shots for the press die down.
Antartica would be nightside, Desert would be Dayside and can help test heat specs and sand tolerances.
Good.
A report from someone who used both, and says 7 is on the track to sanity.
Maybe it will be usable by SP1.
I agree. Many office people don't need cutting edge effects. This is why XP was able to hold off Vista - it was good enough.

Win7 SP2 might run Lean.

There's a colossal burgeoning computer retirement coming with XP capable machines that might struggle with Win7.
I'd think there's room for a whole under-grade gaming market with cheap older titles for $5 on cheap hardware.
Sure they are! They're underserved customers! After all, they didn't take his original copy right?
I better put the ~ thing in about now so the mods know. Except I'm just repeating previous insightful posts.
It fails for all cases where the user base is sufficiently small compared to the complexity driven development cost.
Enterprise software is not a game.
Spelling errors are from typing fails, not knowledge fails.
Hello sir.
To put it in geek terms, Star Trek was right. (!)

There was an article a ways back that said demos trashed sales.

Time to trade in a karma point for this one, but the cue-in was too good to miss.
