Comment Real Simple with Our Revit Application (Score 2, Interesting) 215

This is specialized for architects but we went from a five minute "save to central" time cost with Windows XP 64Bit to two seconds on Windows 7. Our cost to deploy ROI was achieved in one week's work. "Save to Central" is an Autodesk feature for writing to a SQL Server database on a server. Talk about low hanging fruit. Management surely understands that when people are no longer standing around yapping, more money is being made; not to mention happier workers as well! Your results may vary. Of course with Windows, any new deployment is faster on the machine than a stale DLL hell one.

Comment California Law? (Score 1) 407

Since Google does business in California, perhaps the warning is something they will need to put on all of their search results just like this all over California:

WARNING: Chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm may be present in foods or beverages sold ...

Comment Preferred People (Score 1) 1475

Does this mean that Google prefers gay people to Catholics, Blacks and Hispanics? Seems like Google is being anti-family, if that is the case. Google would like folks who will work twelve hour days, eat dinner at work and continue to work. Google is this Star Trek Enterprise world where you have the kids thrown in an episode, every once in a while. If Google is going to toss out this level of care, perhaps they need to look at an even larger picture. Their care for Africa is wonderful but one would have to take that perceived level of care with a grain of salt if Google doesn't have a bigger picture for humanity.
