Chairbot is a great idea and all but its way too high off the ground to be useful in the office. If I built a chairbot, I'd do it right. It would have 8 legs and kinda crawl around like a spider, keeping you low to the ground. It would be so awesome.
convicted criminal corporationvsyou can also go to the White House for being one
Is Ballmer a convict or is it Microsoft? He is the CEO of a company that is constantly involved in lawsuits, but can you name one large company that isn't? And does that make the CEO a criminal? Regardless of what you may think of him, he is one of the world's most powerful voices in the world of technology, so I am sure his word counts.
And while we're at it, don't forget to criticize George W Bush for using the constitution as toilet paper. I was trying to think of something that may get modded insightful as a response, but I don't have the time at the moment.
Ballmer is the head of a company that is violating US law. He is not trying to fix this. Rather he seems quite content with the current situation. Microsoft continues to force its way into new markets by abusing its monopoly power, and tightening its grips on its existing markets. They seem to be ignoring the very weak settlement of their antitrust suit, but by putting a pretty face on, no one seems to notice! Ballmer undoubtedly has a hand in this, he is a criminal and an enemy to the free (as in capitalism) market.
Ballmer may be well known, but he should be thrown into a pool of sharks, not into a government office.
How did this get modded +5? glibc isn't even licensed GPL! Notice we have commercial software for Linux? That all links to glibc, and it kind of has to. Which is why it is licensed LGPL.
As for Tivo being scared of GPLv3, stop locking down your devices like the dicks you are and you won't be adversely affected. Problem solved!
If you're measuring performance with hdparm or dd, check the readahead on both. I noticed a similar drop in performance and it was because of different default readahead values on two distributions.
But what I don't get is how is this better than running VMware or any of the other virtualization technologies out there? The ability to run linux in a window under windows has been around for ever. Is it their ability to localize the apps gui? That's not really special either.
The new thing about it is that is integrates the application with the host OS. Virtualization usually does not do this.
Senator Gravel's position on Iraq remains clear and consistent: to commence an immediate and orderly withdrawal of all U.S. troops that will have them home within 60 days.
I couldn't vote for a man that wants to withdrawal from a county that WE ripped apart. Whether we should have invaded Iraq or not is debatable, but completely irrelevant. The main thing that matters is that we removed their government from power, and we now have a responsibility to ensure that a new stable government is ready to govern on their own before we can even start to think about a withdrawal. Remember, power vacuums are bad.
It's not a matter of when Konqueror goes multiplatform, its when. And the when is scheduled for October this year. Although Konqueror is a very lightweight browser with low resource consumption, its not quite as quick as Firefox or IE, and it lacks some fancy features (such as Midas support).
A hybrid with an all electric drive train would just be retarded. Not only would you have the inefficiency of the ICE (gasoline -> motion), but you would also have the inefficiency of the generator and the battery (gasoline -> motion -> electric -> motion).
I'd like to see a suit involving any one of those hold up in court. Reverse engineering for compatability is allowed by law. Also, CIFS is just a new name SMB.
I'm also in a small shop with four people, we do general network planning and setup for local companies. Personally, I've been investigating the viability of TinyERP for the job. I'd imagine that a lot of the replies received will mention the same packages as in this recent slashdot article. http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/11/21 25226
I certainly won't cry dupe because I was looking for more discussion on the issue!
Same in New York, they fail the new emissions. Because the US has a pretty small diesel demand, VW isn't really concerned about the issue from my understanding (it's been 4 years since the law took effect.)
It's not really trolling if its true (which it often is). Then there's also the differences in how each group determines whats a vunerability. Fedora Core for example patches many security issues (and they get counted as such) even when they don't really effect the distro due to things like ExecShield.
How many normal people are going to able to distiguish between necessary traffic, and unnecessary traffic? Not many. Especially Norton's target audience. For the average Joe, software firewalls that ask for permission are just another button to press that you don't really understand.
If you can't trust your current software, maybe its time to find some new software.
There are plenty of open souce and commercial offerings for linux that give functionality similar to an Exchange server. Many of these even play nicely with Outlook.
Exchange may have the advantage of lock-in for people unfortunate enough to already run exchange, but there certainly are alternatives out there for new setups or people willing to break free.
If you do a little Googling there are many legitimate reasons not to write a kernel in C++. It's been discussed before a decided that it was a bad idea.
I haven't had luck with multiple heads on the same card. If you were to do that, you would need to have 1 X server and then have nested X sessions inside of it. Its not pretty.
My wife and I shared a computer for about a year using Ubuntu 5.10. I had an Nvidia card for my screen, and a Radeon 9200 PCI for hers. I used PS/2 input, she used USB. It was nasty getting direct rendering going on the ATI as the Nvidia drivers overwrite some libraries. I eventually got it going by making a shadow tree of the/usr/lib/X11 directory, one had Nvidia drivers, the other the standard ATIs. Input devices can be forced to a particular X server by certain values from/sys. (Can't recall which ones ATM).
All in all it worked extremely well. Only headaches after the initial setup was that there was still only 1 sound card, and removable storage seemed always get stolen by my desktop.
Having said all this, there are several commercial solutions for this problem that would take out some of the hard work (and the fun!).
On what grounds? It is not illegal to pull your products from a region that isn't profitable.
Isn't it illegal to nullify a license you sold if the owner of that license did nothing wrong? Suppose that would depend on the conditions of the license. In any case, pulling out of a major market completely would seriously shake every government and business' faith in Microsoft. They will not and cannot afford to pull out of the EU, it would be the undoing of MS.
Unfortunately many people assume that Windows XP is the only operating system in the world. Many pages will complain if you don't have 'Windows Media Player' regardless of the ability of the users default player.

So, when is the Linux port coming out? (Yes, I've read the FAQ)
Most American manufacturers stopped with the magical keys because consumers bitched about paying $100-$200 for a spare key.

He said
"most people are worried about what they will lose...IP, etc...we're worried about what we can win."That certainly sounds like he means open source. But as they say, words are cheap.

I certainly hope Zimbra scales well seeing that Comcast has a rather large customer base.

I'm with you on that. The hardware really makes a world of difference.
I'm on a site with Dell equipment ATM. I don't care what OS you run on there, nothing will be stable!

I wonder if you could use your electric bill as a tax write off...

Competition or sabotage?
