WTF !!!!

God Almighty ! I liked the bit where he had to get his breath back. With some
luck he might have had a heart attack instead !

I'm sorry but seeing overweight, older bald men behaving like jackasses does
nothing for me - except in this case to lower further still my opinion of M$.

Actually, he got his breath back in short order. Heart rate
would be a better indicator of fitness. The requirement for
oxygen after exertion is based on physics, not physic.

If you had seen Balmer on a basketball court with a bunch
of younger guys, you would not be able to take that stance.

Another point missed in that isolated video: At the annual
Microsoft company meeting, the tradition had already been
established that Balmer would go a little crazy. For example,
at an earlier show, I had the pleasure of watching him do a
spiel about competitors and how revenue was to them like
oxygen is to creatures, going on to how, in a competitive
world, certain necessities exist, and ending up in a hilarious,
roaring, red-faced rant, with overtones of a strangulation,
about how "We have to cut off their oxygen!".

As for your M$ opinion, I have noticed a few things.
People who distort the company's name can hardly
decide whether it is possible to hold it in worse regard.
And they latch onto anything, without regard for its
relevance, to support their professed low regard.

Frankly, a Dean/McCain contest
would have given US much more intelligence than what we got.

Actually, in all fairness, I saw Dean on Meet the Press the other day and
he showed remarkable poise under fairly heavy fire. He actually made a few
cogent, focused points. Very unusual in a Democrat...

Ballmer's still nuts though.

Wrong. Dean is an idiot, and that *cannot* be denied. McCain wasn't in
the contest, so that's not an issue at all.

Actually this is not true. An unfit person needs to breath harder and
longer to take up the same amount of oxygen and will require more oxygen
for the same energy output. Everything[*] works better in a fit person.

Perhaps "own" or "control" would be better words than "destroy". ...the

It really comes down to a contest between M$ and Nokia. The nice folks in
Finland are slowly taking over the communications market as the nice folks
in Redmond are slowly taking over the computing market. Fairly soon, if
you try to say the wrong things over your phone, the connection will
suddenly be lost and the autocorrection feature of M$ word will remove any
statements Billy doesn't like.

Hmmm, well when I still regularly played tennis, I didn't even so much as lose my
breath in the first place mostly, except when playing exceptionally vigourously.
And certainly not from a little bit of jumping about.

With all due respect for your memory, I have to say, as somebody
who did play tennis when quite fit, (a cross-country runner then),
that if you never played tennis hard enough to get breathing as hard
as Balmer briefly did in that video, then either your opponent was
hitting the ball right to you or you do not have human physiology.
(Well, maybe your opponent was fetching balls most of the time. ;-)

Actually I should find a new partner, I've been missing regular exercise for some
time now.

Perhaps you should walk or cycle until you find somebody.

Heart rate
would be a better indicator of fitness. The requirement for
oxygen after exertion is based on physics, not physic.

If you say so. And sure - I have no doubt about heart rate but we didn't have the
opportunity to see that did we ? I'm going by what was on the clip.

So was I. And I see only the normal after-effects of such exertion.

I'm sorry but seeing overweight, older bald men behaving like jackasses does
nothing for me - except in this case to lower further still my opinion of M$.

If you had seen Balmer on a basketball court with a bunch
of younger guys, you would not be able to take that stance.

All I can say is that the younger guys must be pretty unfit too then !

What I am saying is that Balmer and the other guys, younger
in appearance, (hair and features), would play hard basketball
for much of a lunch hour, day after day, the kind where using a
sweatband was necessary (especially for the bald guy). I could
see no sign that they gave him any quarter.

Another point missed in that isolated video: At the annual
Microsoft company meeting, the tradition had already been
established that Balmer would go a little crazy. For example,
at an earlier show, I had the pleasure of watching him do a
spiel about competitors and how revenue was to them like
oxygen is to creatures, going on to how, in a competitive
world, certain necessities exist, and ending up in a hilarious,
roaring, red-faced rant, with overtones of a strangulation,
about how "We have to cut off their oxygen!".

Ok, ok. So it's his 'thing' to that that. I don't *get it* but fair enough. Smacks
of trying to look like a youngster though.

Yes, it does. Microsoft has always been full of young,
eager people. Few other companies have regular Nerf
toy wars in their lunchrooms. As for the implications of
trying to look like anything, you should appreciate that
the video was not taken from the vantage point of the
cameras that are setup to record the annual meetings.
It was taken by somebody in the audience, probably
illicitly. That show was meant for a particular audience,
much different from the group sneering at that video.

As for your M$ opinion, I have noticed a few things.
People who distort the company's name can hardly
decide whether it is possible to hold it in worse regard.
And they latch onto anything, without regard for its
relevance, to support their professed low regard.

The usage of M$ is widespread as a sign of the fact that they hold an effective
economic stranglehold on IT.

I know it is widespread. But I still claim there is a
systematic difference between those who take it up
and those who call the company by its real name.
That has more to do with its popularity than the
actual degree of market power Microsoft enjoys.

I don't like it, not their predatory method of
eliminating competition. I also don't like Word ( especially - hiss, spit ) and the
regular updates to Office that change the default file save to a new format,
regularly incompatible with previous versions.

There is an interesting technical discussion to be had
about such software design choices.

If you are using the file format issue to imply some
sinister plan, I suggest you try opening an older format
file with a new version Office program, then see what
happens when you go to save your edits. My guess
is that your sinister hypothesis will be harder to justify.
(But I don't doubt you can still manage to do it!)

I avoid those products at every opportunity.

That would suggest there is some choice involved.

These products are a simple base method to milk money out of
companies mainly,

That is true of most products sold today.

but how many ppl have Word totally uneccessarily installed on
their PC just to type the occasional letter ?

Quite a few, I imagine. However, I would ask you to
consider the assumptions and implications behind your
use of the term "unnecessarily". Another correlation I
have observed is between those who favor planned
economies or vast social programs and those who are
will to decide for others what is necessary.

Google comes through again...aerobically, 50 minutes of tennis is
about 75% of climbing 150 flights of stairs in 30 minutes (I guess
that'd be 112.5 flights of stairs in 22.5 minutes)...to get 10 points,
it isn't even close in value to circuit weight training...

I've not studied that chart thoroughly, but at first glance I'm not
sure how reliable it is. Maybe my confusion is because explicit speeds
or rates are not shown for the various activities, but left to be
calculated. For example, I'm a brisk walker, but 3 miles in 38 minutes
(over 4.7 mph) is *very* fast. Even 5 miles in 95 mins (nearly 3.3
mph) is well above the averages I record, and is probably 'marching
speed' if sustained steadily over that distance. And why does 5 miles
burn only 20 more calories than 3 miles - 7% versus nearly 70%? I also
find it incredible that walking around a golf course (5 miles?) with
the occasional swing of a club consumes nearly 7 times as many
calories as 'Walk - 5 miles'.
