that there are actually people who STILL play D3.
I expected that noone was p(l)aying that game anymore.

I assume Gimp + Inkscape will get more popular in near future ...

They are doing the only correct thing: Buying.

If the bubble bursted, apple would be done for.
If they buy back stock, they:
* increase the stockprices again - stabilizing the apple-bubble.
* lowering the risk of a popping bubble.

my servers at home are more stable and reachable that google ;)

Its like the 3rd time in 2 years google fails.

so in the cloud there is no smtp? no imap? no http? ... do you expect things magically turn into cloud transfer protocol or what?

In the cloud you just have MORE potential points of failure: namely all that you have locally and all that run the cloud server, the loadbalancers, ... which is much more points of failure you can ever grasp.

The diffrence is, who gets blamed. But if your boss doesnt see you working while noone in the company gets any work done, dont expect to get a raise too soon.
On the other hand, if you are running all the things in a cloud you most likely dont deserve it anyway.

Its all about political image. Noone outside the US cares about the US anymore. Stocktrading is shifting to Euro or Yen and Yuan. With the random Military strikes and random laws in the last 10 years, the US image is going down the drain.

Noone sees the US as the land of endless possibilities. Now its the country of corporate government.
You might want to change your name to United states of Google,Apple,Oracle,...

So unless you want to even more ruin your image, you may not ever shoot at NK.
Unless of course you want to be seen as the country that is trollbait and fell for the big fat troll.

You sir just made my day

... no just that one apple connector...

no. win 2000 did not have them.
And it does have nothing to do with the office package but with the system.

thats news to me.

mod parent up!

so what? noone uses gnome anymore anyways.

THIS

perl has a too wide acceptance rate.
Its gnome - where everything good gets removed and replaced with something bloat and with less functionality.
If people complain, they ignore it, because people are tooo dumb to understand.

(another reason i switched away from gnome)

THIS made my day!
