...however, the bottom line is nobody is buying what you are selling.
They're not buying it, 'cause it comes free of charge!;)
Try Kubuntu, with Crossover Linux (née Crossover Office), if you must run Office. You're likely to be pleasantly surprised. (I type this while waiting Win 7 Pro to complete a five-minute software install for my MS LifeCam Cinema. This camera worked out-of-the-box with Kubuntu.)
And an official investigation of the same would be just as large a waste of money as the investigation into Google's activities. I'm surprised that you're not talking about the real issue.
Really? A company is under official investigation on three continents for the largest unauthorised capture of private information that has ever happened?
/me stares. If I hire a million men to walk through the streets of every major city on earth recording the conversations of those that they pass by, is that a crime? This is *certainly* an unauthorized capture; but should one take issue it?
a) You can feed fake data to a GPS receiver, or fake receiver data to the running computer. b) Moving a running machine from a wall outlet to a portable power supply is not hard. Think about the problem for more than two minutes and let me know what you come up with.:)
*blink* What was innovative about BioShock? It seemed to me that System Shock 2 (and maybe 1, never played it) had already done the compelling story in a creepy atmosphere bit, as well as the and it feels that there have been many other games that have done the "mix this weapon with this portion of the environment to get an interesting effect" thing.
Well, I guess that BS had the randomly respawing monsters to give the feeling of the levels being more alive than they really were. (I can't remember if SS2 did that or not.)
Microsoft is a very large company and to my surprise there is not nearly as much cross team communication going on as you'd expect from the outside.
It's worse than that. I have a friend in the Bay Area whose company was being courted by several big-name software companies, one of which was Microsoft. The big-wigs at my buddies company learned that each division inside MSFT is a company unto itself. Additionally, each division is rewarded for periodic performance gains, even if those gains come at the cost of another division's progress. It was learned that the SOP inside MSFT was to treat other divisions as potential competitors, denying them access to information and resources from the people in your division, regardless if this collaboration would benefit the company as a whole. I'd imagine that this makes for a poisonous workplace.:/
You're already required to report odometer readings with inspections/registrations so that seems like a logical place to levy a fee when you renew your registration or whatever.
Not in Alabama, you're not. Perhaps things are different elsewhere in the country.
I've been using Eclipse Helios and the latest versions of the CDT for C++ development. The experience is on a par with Visual Studio 2008. I dunno how the support for CLR languages is, but I'd bet that I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least as good as CDT was three or four years ago.
Well, it's like Google rolling out Gigabit broadband. They know that it's not going to work right now, the technology isn't there yet to do it in a way that is profitable.
1gbps symmetric service for 350USD/month. Split that with ten neighbors, and you almost beat the download speed (and absolutely crush the upload speed) of Comcast's best offering for far less than half their price.
I don't know about you, but my last 80286 didn't make it to 1990.
I had a Tandy 1000TL with a 20MB "Hard Card" (read: harddrive bolted on to an IDE expansion board) that made it past Y2K. I booted the fucker up after the turn of the millennium. There was nary a bug in sight. Midnight Rescue! and Castle ran without a hitch.:D
I spent the past five years working in a small (~25 developer) Windows XP Pro based software development house. Our file server was running Win2K3 Enterprise and was using a large (1TB, later upgraded to 10TB) hardware RAID 5 disk array. All of this equipment was sourced from Dell.
Once a month, we needed to call in an admin to bring down the server (and once every other month for someone's desktop machine) to delete files that were "screwed up". "Screwed up" means: * Cannot delete, rename, read, or modify the file. * The only tab available on the "File->Properties" dialog for the file in question is the "General" tab. (This means that the Sharing, Security, and Customize tabs shown here are not present.)
Note that *every* developer performed work as an unprivileged user. Noone on staff possessed an Administrator account, with the exception of the admins.
I've never *ever* seen this behaviour with *any* filesystem on Linux. I've abruptly pulled the plug on my home machines hundreds of times and never had *any* filesystem issues. (Not even with reiserfs V3.:D)
"Touch base" comes from ye olde American Baseball. You have to touch a base in order to continue on to the next one; you can't just run past the place where the base is.

That *is* cleverer. :)

I totally agree with the chain-link fence BS.

Correct.
As of two months ago, Comcast's IPv6 trial program had yet to begin in northern Alabama.
Food for thought.
Was that in the great state of Illinios, or did Comcast gobble up the ISP that owned that block and move it elsewhere?
How long do you give it until ipv6 address space exhaustion?
*blink*
Remind me again why neither San Francisco, CA, nor New York, NY have residential 1gbit symmetric fiber service, but Chattanooga, TN does? :)
You have to specify which phones your stuff runs on...
