    The death of Microsoft

    LOL. You must work for $soft. The problem they face is their size: they have become ineffective at managing their gargantuan enterprise. The people they are attracting for employees these days are either people that actually want to work with Steve Ballmer or people that are about steve...

    The death of Microsoft

    Yup. Nobody wants to work for them because of the draconian nature of the company ..... Like most places you will be worked like a dog ... the only problem is that now, there is little financial reward other than a paycheck ... this is not the nature of the technology business and is a HUGE...

    Few security tips on computer systems.

    Yes they didn't prove it, but as far as i know it is possible. Unless you want to do the research to prove the negative then I guess you've beaten this dog to death .... And as far as security goes there are lots of things that COULD happen on an IMPROPERLY configured box or network but the...

    Few security tips on computer systems.

    So, on a properly configured box do you have any statistics as to how often this occurs and some insight on if it is possible - on a locked down box ?

    Few security tips on computer systems.

    I just told you it is simple and possible to do this: I did not say I have proved it. If you want to prove a negative: that this has never been done in greyscale, non laser printers then I encourage you to do so .... when you complete your task report back to us with your findings. Until...

    Which is faster ? C#.net or VB.net

    Its the same old saw from $soft .... Say one thing, do another. They have repeatedly failed to live up to their promises to customers and partners and thus they have zero credibility with our organization. $soft comes first, customers second. Our decision ? We dont need vendors like this and...

    Which is faster ? C#.net or VB.net

    Funny how their "focus" obliterates the army of VB programmers and requires them to learn - at company and individual expense - a technology decided upon by an outside entity over which they have zero control. Now, there are some technical reasons that $soft made this choice but there are...

    Which is faster ? C#.net or VB.net

    Long ago (Visual Studio 6 timeframe) $soft started down the path of a common interpreter ..... The so-called "common language runtime" (CLR) makes the choice of language largly irrelevant within their tools environment. For a partcular task it can matter but for general purpose use I would...
