All I can say is that it was less painful than their Windows launch party video. Awkward and embarrassing, yes, but not as painful.
A Microsoftie is laid off, gets a job at Google, and discovers that there are better software products out there than what Microsoft develops. Wow, imagine that. It’s like the blinders have been removed. Yet another reason I’ll never work at Microsoft (or Oracle).
It’s impressive the way Palin has built up a reality distortion field around herself. She is so full of shit, on top of being a complete idiot, that I wonder how anyone could have ever taken her seriously.
If you’ve read any of Stonebraker’s other recent posts (in particular from January 2008), you might feel this is another case of mis-categorization. I don’t know where he gets the idea that the NoSQL camp is trying to perform OLTP with their data stores, but that seems to be what he has focused on. Oddly enough, in many cases such data stores are for batch data processing. Curiously, he ignores the benefits offered by these unorthodox data stores (e.g. the high availability and speed of Dynamo, the sheer mass of BigTable) and instead focuses on the features that they don’t provide. He’s careful not to mention any of them by name so that his argument can somehow be applied to all of them. In any case, it’s another biased posting by a self-interested database proponent speaking out against the competition.
After reading this article I’ve made two conclusions. One, I will never buy a Toyota, ever. Two, the NHTSA does not have your safety in mind, which is ironic given their name. Thank God for journalists.
So the conclusion here is, if you don’t have an education, you’re screwed. If you’re black, you’re also screwed, but not as much as those without a high school diploma. Granted, these are just numbers without any clear correlation to other factors, but it’s revealing nonetheless.
Who else could take a case involving gang rape by government contractors and make it sound funny. Not the actual crime, of course, but how it is so poorly handled by the idiot Republicans who voted against the amendment to avoid doing business with these contractors in the future. Like Steward said, how can anyone be against this?
The largest software company in the world apparently failed to manage the risk of data loss of customer backups. Even I have a better idea of how to prevent data loss and I’m not even experienced in the storage field. I hope people aren’t paying for this pathetic service.
Hilarious take on the Windows 7 launch party video tutorials put out by Microsoft. This is perhaps the best argument I’ve seen for why everyone using Windows should switch.
Wow, that must have been painful to film. It was painful to watch. How does anyone seriously think users want to watch this dumb crap?
