Editorial why wont they say




















The New York City law would require these centers to disclose in ads and waiting-room signs whether they have a licensed medical provider supervising services and whether they make referrals for prenatal care, abortion and emergency contraception.

Client information they collect would be subject to confidentiality rules. The law does not prevent the centers from disseminating their anti-abortion message or discriminate against the centers on the basis of their viewpoint.

Then listen. First, you will learn more than by simply asking why. Second, you will gain insight into how your team thinks. And if you decide against the team's recommendation, that is when you use "why.

Another time not to use why is in conversations where someone may be explaining an issue or a problem. When we ask why in response to problems, the explanation can solidify the rationale for the problem and nudges them further into permanent ownership of the problem. We've invited the problem to gain power over them. The principle is that leaders learn, leaders embrace diverse ideas and the tool leaders use is the Tell Me Time Box.

I write about the practice of leadership focusing on how leaders can get better results by changing the words they say. Your upload would go to the local server first and then slowly stream to the internet server.

Sorry, Sphinx, but the world will not beat a path to your door if you build a better OS. Or, a better anything. Whatever your opinion about the technical merits of their products, these companies know how to sell. Much of the open source community seems pathologically opposed to marketing, but that just condemns their products to oblivion.

Even in the case of Linux, my guess is that the majority of Windows users have never heard of Linux. When one says web-app, it automatically defaults to a publically accessible internet-application.

Web simply means internet. Web-application is too much connected to the proprietary paradigm. No middle man to suck the lifeblood from my bank-account in ever increasing bills for the same mediocre crap-ware. Do you have a better example other than OS X of course?

Linux is one of the worse in terms of hardware detection. You have to configure most hardware manually, when a driver is ever available! Same go for other hobbyist OSes too. The general idea is partitioned apps with client and server pieces. But it is different in that computing can be done on either the client or server.

Another difference is peer to peer networking with you in control of the server if you want. The servers are designed with smart hierarchical caching so that they can be used locally off-line and then sync when they can.

Servers can talk to other servers too in this model. It would probably be clearer if I called this network apps. Microsoft is supposed to be working on a next-gen MS Office written in dotNet. In this model they can give away the client and then sell you a local server or rent you a hosted one. Same here. My Silicon Image Raid controller. So, yes, Linux is horrible for hardware compatibility. I can just see the Eloi who incessantly moan about how user-hostile Linux is trying to wrap their atrophied little minds around that beautiful beast.

X11 is more of an impediment than benefit. X11 makes development take far longer, and destroys 2D performance. Scrolled any images lately? My monitor under most distros is also fully detected, again, with Debian I had to tweak the xorg. I also have a webcam an old Quickcam VC which I had to compile the driver for. With Windows…. You pretty much always have to install Chipset drivers.

And the printer…. The monitor, well Windows always limits it to xx75hz, even though the monitor will do xx85hz. Yes, I can most definitely tell the difference. So in many ways, Linux does have better hardware detection than windows. IF it is supported in linux, then it almost always is detected and supported right away. Not those crappy winmodems. And as far as the HP Laser printer not working.

It does work, according to linuxprinting. Try SUSE. Do you want to configure it? Or try Kanotix. So they jack the price out, keep the n00bs out and hit a pricepoint for upgrades that is in the ball park that the current crop of users are used to.

They save on support fees, and end users who are used to the system get their upgrades. I enjoy it. Would I recommend it to someone who has never used it? I have time and money invested in it, and it works. I would recommend to another person to invest it elsewhere. Noone wants to learn to do that. Regarding buisiness desktops, the situation is similar. The market situation preinstalled OS reflects, what customers will buy. One might think it costs the hardware vendor more, to develop the diskimages, that get loaded onto the harddisks … but this argument is nonsense, at least regarding proprietary OS alternatives, they would just have to ask the OS-developer to provide a disk image and they probably would create it happily.

For free OS alternatives, they could ask on the projects website. Why add another layer? Why does nobody tries to keep things simple? The more layer we have to configure, debug, install, the more problem arise. Yes, makes sense to us. But how are you going to set Syllable apart? Remember that Linux has got some major investment behind it now; various big-time companies are for instance actively supporting Gnome in order to improve the desktop experience.

While I agree with you that desktop Linux is at this point unlikely to suit every user, huge strides have been made in the past, say, 18 months. I see no reason why BSD drivers should be any different. The Open Source nature of Syllable has never been in impedement to implementing features.

Then it has to be prepared to be a niche for many years before a sufficiently broad user base adopts it [unless, again, it is so radically different — by being orders of magnitude better — that a lot of users recognize it as a superior experience]. On top of all that, not only are you developing a new operating system, you also want some apps for your OS. Users are quaint that way. Look at BeOS. Great system, wonderful environment [that itty bit that I saw of it], but no applications.

Or maybe Michael Schumacher wants to give one of his nephews [if he has any] the opportunity to go wide-eyed crazy and develop something he always wanted: an OS that really can run Blazemonger as it should be run.

And today most governments have other fish to fry. The only governments that will be able to do that are going to be in the low-tech third world, when they make an impact.

It will be an evolution, maybe some day there will be a better kernel than linux or something better than gnome. By being a decent desktop OS I.

Syllable is different because it is a complete OS. We have the advantage of being able to achieve true vertical integration and we can retain tight control over the core of the Operating System. We can set standards and easily see where things need to be improved.

Microsoft has an investment in Windows; does that make Linux doomed? Companies invest, investments change, focus shifts. It may even be becoming the major set of applications. The thing now is to work out how best to use all that knowledge and power. Particularly if one wants to get that palmtop to take verbal commands and simultaneously do grammar checks on written documents?

Linux Torvalds is right when he says that the next software frontier is in the applications and that OSes have become pedestrian. With new OSes, the challenge will be to make interfaces such as hearing and the voice, and suchlike, ordinary and boring. Syllable is at version 0. A lot of basic software is already available that you can run on Syllable.

We have to make it work first, then we can design the interface. I agree with you that Syllable and SkyOS will better be able to deliver a large coherent package in which every part of the OS works together nicely, in contrast to Linux distributors who have to rely on external developing groups. That point is very much valid. However, I am the first to acknowledge that things are changing.
