Market share?.
Hahaha, sorry, i couldn't resist.
Also not true. Most web servers today are STILL Linux/Unix. Microsoft never did take that even with their fake azure stuff.
This memo isn't in context. Back at this time they were in the midst of an anti-trust action. Microsoft missed the perfect opportunity. Here's what they should have done:
1) Sell the windows/dos OS to IBM. Lock, stock and barrel, they keep their apps/office. No brainer, probably could have bagged 20 Billion for that.
2) About 3-4 months later, move all the office and apps to Linux. Again, a no brainer. They also get to screw IBM again like they did with OS2. I know they had an effort to migrate their apps in 1998 in a middle eastern country that is in the news.
3) Dismiss the action against them since IBM has the crappy OS now. They get a real OS that they don't have to worry about. Linux gets a unified GUI and apps. By now Windows would be just another bad joke, like Exec 8 and MVS.
Without that OS still around, the whole world would be different today. Probably for the better.
The easiest person in the world to fool is yourself.
For the last couple of years I have been completely covering any input I give to a phone unlock or ATM PIN given. With cameras everywhere, this was only a matter of time.
Should have picked a better pin than 0000.
Cycle every year if you're a stud. That's about as long as it takes to get a gig, do a good job and set up for the next one while doubling your rate. Eventually you'll flame out. If the gig is good and you can continue, do that. Keep your skills up. You can be fired tomorrow.
Used to be if a man drank over 21 drinks a week, he's a heavy drinker. About 14 for women. Now it's 8 a week for women, 15 for men.

Some say - don't drink at all.
Win 7 running under Citrix. Everyone gets a VDI! All 5000-9000+ of us and they wonder why it's a POS. Even though it's running on a perfectly good PC to begin with. Nope, gotta centralize and use 2X (at least) the licenses. Slow I/O? Well, buy more servers to slow it down even more!
Funny... but I know where this is the case and it's far from funny.
Creationalism, Evolution in its various (heh evolved/revised) forms are just theories.
Stick to science. Scientific method. By that evolution was disproved years ago and replaced with a new theory called the same thing. Seems to me at least three times in just my lifetime. To measure scientific ability by a belief in evolution is just a political test. It's good they admit this now, something I told them 40 years ago to the look of deer in headlights.
Scientific method, wonderful stuff. Disproves all kinds of political BS if they would just apply it.
Still works. Used it just last week. Now if you know what Esc-e means in the context of a very popular modem, I'd be impressed.
Asked a long time employee about that. What happend to HP equipment on the bench, hospital, etc. He said the Compaq managers came in, some accounts that made it in from digital and did the same thing all over again. Outsource everything, that'll solve it! Yes, solve it into insolvency. Now hospitals have Phillips/Seimans equipment. Frequency counters - who knows. Industries they used to own, given away.
Don't know HP anymore. That company died for me years ago I think. Maybe Meg can fix it. She's on the right track.
Tell you what. Come up with 10 billion (USD) (used to be 3, adjusted for inflation) and I'll get you to the moon and back within 10 years.
Well, I'd argue it like this: The only means of interstellar communication we know of so far is Electromagnetic waves.
And I'd argue that you're not up to date. Gravitation waves were discovered in the 1990s. Theory is that with gravitation you can traverse the entire universe in a matter of seconds, like touching a spider web in any place effects the entire web. Of course, you're mileage may vary since T&S is relative.
As a devil's advocate, US police are woefully underfunded. They might get a bunch of SWAT stuff from the government, but actual basic policing, substations, and other items needed to process all but murders and attempted murders are not funded.
Man do they have you snowed. They have plenty of money. Read the budget sometime. Probably get you really, really pissed. Doesn't matter which one, city/county/state budgets.
The people yelling the loudest for death penalty are white males.
Care to site any study on that? I didn't think so.
It is very important that anyone that is on a jury understand it's a trial. The defendant may be innocent. Just because you are there doesn't mean he's guilty. Just becase the defendant is an asshole like Mike Tyson was on the stand, that doesn't mean he was guilty. I don't think Mike was guilty.
