Is it to try and attract Windows developers to the Linux platform? Is it to ease transition from Windows to Linux? Is it to make it easier for Microsoft to threaten the entire community with patent infringement threats..? What is it? It's to show Microsoft he's worthy of working for them after they passed him up for a job.
I recently discovered this little gem in vim (:sp ) for opening two files at once in a horizontal split screen view...lordy what a time saver. You can also split the screen vertically with:vsp . You can split multiple times, mixing horizontal and vertical splits. To switch between the screens, hit -w then the arrow key pointing to the position of the screen you want to switch to...pretty nifty. Bleh, it stripped out everything I put between angle brackets as invalid html tags. The correct use for split, while in view mode, is:sp (or:vsp if you want vertical screen splitting) followed by the path of the file you want to edit or create. You switch between them with ctrl-w + arrow key pointing to the screen you want to switch to.

Last year, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates chided the XO for its lack of functionality, insisting that the fact it requires a hand crank for power would make it difficult for children to use. What would he suggest be used instead in places where there's not a ready supply of electricity, a big hampster wheel? Ya know, for someone who runs their own charity, you'd think Gates would understand why there's a crank on these things in the first place..
Just the other day I thought about making a bumper sticker or a shirt that says "Microsoft is the reason you suck at computers."
(I've just trademarked that.) (Or is it copyrighted? WTH, I'll do both.) Might as well file for a design patent while you're at it. Nothing like holding 3 Aces.
If they gave IE away for free, I could legally download it and install it under Wine. But I can't legally do that. You have to have a copy of MS-Windows, which means you're really just getting an upgraded component (web browser) of the OS. You mean what ies4linux does?
Interesting sentence construction of yours. It parses like "To square one, [it] looks like their [Microsoft's] back".
Learn English, moron.
Burn Karma, burn! Yes, I'm being extremely rude because I KNOW parent is a native speaker. Non-native speakers do not make such silly mistakes. Oh, btw, English is my second language... You need to get laid or somethin..
Linux, or any other decent OS for that matter, is a completely different story. Most of the Linux distros ship w/just about every driver included w/the kernel as modules, so it's just a matter of udev probing the hardware and loading the correct modules. Windows on the other hand...
If I install a new motherboard in my PC that is not piracy.
If you're installing a new motherboard and not reinstalling the OS, I have a feeling being flagged as a pirate is probably going to be the least of your concerns.
It's very possible to find a job that pays well and doesn't drain you. The key is working for a small company, not corporate America. I learned that lesson at a young age.
I bet those $35k/year managers felt good after getting a chance to swing their dicks around. On a more positive note, I'm sure these guys will end up with better jobs now that there's motivation to look for one. That usually tends to be the case with talented people stuck in shit hole jobs.
What do people here think is better...a physical attack (with guns, bombs, etc) where live are being lost, or cyber attacks where lives are not being lost (to the best of my knowledge..please correct me if I'm overlooking something).

Who's this guy think he is, Dexter Morgan? Better watch out, he wouldn't want Showtime coming after him for copyright infringement.
oh nice! :)

That answers my next question.
Looks like their back to square one. Nice to see they're not making much progress.

what a fucking choad of a company. keep it up trolls, the more you guys exploit the faulty legal system, the quicker it'll get patched...

Man, and Futurama isn't listed as one of the references...tisk tisk...guess I'll have to do something about that.
I agree. I don't normally get emotional during a movie/show, but gd..everytime I see that I wanna start bawling.

It takes a special type of douche bag to 'rage over' a free service. If you don't like it, then don't use it..

Yes! One of the best George moments ever.
I can't help but think, though: how many more of these things are out there that this 'sting' didn't touch?
