Dude, if you're putting anything else in your meat that's not salt, you're doing it wrong.
High quality meat doesn't require any additives aside from salt and should have a soft texture on its own.
No, I would say it's because economics is nowhere close to being a hard science, and the work of the most important economists in this decade has been shown to be completely fraudulent in their incapacity to foresee the financial crises that we face today.
Late 1990s: everyone was all rah-rah about the economic upturn of the dot-coms. A few people in the industry do note that it won't last forever since nothing of value was actually being created and companies were being made with no business plan. The economist's response? ignore the criticsa dn talk about how the Dow will go on better than ever.
Early 2000s: housing prices begin to rise beyond what is easily within the reach of the average consumer. A few people note that a housing market can't be sustained on purchases considered "investements" with no intention of being used a living spaces. Mainstream economists disregard this little fact until we have a housing bubble.
God I hate iTunes. I might consider getting an iPhone if it weren't for the fact that it's chained and encumbered to iTunes.
How many times does it have to be mentioned? FOSS applications use exclusively what's under the safe stack + GTK# and other components not shipped in
At any rate, that sort of attitude is borderline paranoid. Some sections of Microsoft ARE out to get Linux and FOSS, but
Besides, the case they have against noncompliant
This actually makes Mono one of the safer technologies for Linux RAD development, since, unlike many libraries derived or built from commercial entities, this one has a written statement from its authors that it's safe from patent litigation from Microsoft. I'm looking forward to developing on Mono under Linux. This only enhances the amount of choice available for Linux development and creates greater competition among the different platform providers.
And yes, Microsoft is getting something out of this: if you develop with Mono on Linux you're capable of developing with
Nontheless it's a technology I very much like and favor for some flavors of apps. Well, another tool in the language toolbox.
It is important to note that, under the Community Promise, anyone can freely implement these specifications with their technology, code, and solutions. You do not need to sign a license agreement, or otherwise communicate to Microsoft how you will implement the specifications.
... Under the Community Promise, Microsoft provides assurance that it will not assert its Necessary Claims against anyone who makes, uses, sells, offers for sale, imports, or distributes any Covered Implementation under any type of development or distribution model, including open-source licensing models such as the LGPL or GPL.
This clears the way for Mono to be fully integrated into GNOME, and Boycott Novell can go back to crying in their corner.
That is not correct. The sections of
Using the standardized section of
Do note, however, that due to the Open Invention Network, waging a patent war against Mono is the equivalent of a patent nuclear war. Among the OIN members are IBM and several large corporations with massive patent portfolios.
Web browser - The FOSS solutions are clearly way superior here. I doubt there's any argument about this.
Office - On 99% of the cases you're covered by OpenOffice. Some might say it's not as pretty/lacks features/etc. I have yet to see someone complain that they're not able to do their job with it.
Mail client - Most people have already switched to web clients. For corporate users some might still use Outlook, but in my professional experience most don't use its enterprise features, so they might as well use Thunderbird or any other client.
Music player - Considering most users take the default the OS offers, I'd say even the worst media player on Linux is better to WMP.
If you use SQL Server of Visual Studio for your daily work you're smart enough and knowledgeable to make the appropiate choice for a system (supposedly). But SQL Server is on the same class as Postgres and DB2 for most tasks. Besider, there's no way in hell you're running Visual Studio, Outlook, or SQL Server or a netbook unless you're into masochism.
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
