Perhaps to mitigate these accusations Sun will claim the Chewbacca defense.
I'd just like to thank PG for another class A troll and special prizes to all the intellectual giants who, at the the present moment have elevated this gibberish to Score:5 Interesting.
"For me it's the exact opposite. WinXP seems like an utter mess that is coated with "eyecandy" that I can't imagine anyone enjoying or tolerating longer than a week willingly."
Not true. I put up with it for 10 days before reclaiming the partition for something more useful.
"I want nothing more than to fire up an installer, repartition away windows and never look back. But as ugly as windows is from that first install screen, it at least gives me the opportunity to do what I want to do, right off the bat, without having to recompile the fucking kernel"
As long as all you want to do is play minesweeper. It's just as well you don't have to recompile anything since windows comes with no compiler. Incidentaly I have never recompiled the kernel on my home machine, ever.
"Who does it cost money? Only people who overreact. Most defacers tell you how they got in and save your data. Patch it, shame yourself, and resurrect your site. This isn't fucking rocket science."
So you implicitly trust some little shit who's just hacked your web site when he tells you what he's done? A complete rebuild is the only option unless you really want to host a new irc/warez/ddos server.
"acknowledging the cold, hard reality that MS Windows and Office are and will be the de facto standards in business worldwide for the decades to come."
I don't remember what the de facto standard was when I was at school. It certainly wasn't the same as it is now. Technology changes constantly, that is its nature.
Children need to be learn general principles not how to use Microsoft Office 2000 SP2.
"First, they've upped the damages they're seeking to $3 billion"
If you're going to come up with a random number about how much business you've lost then I guess you may as well say $3 billion instead of $1 billion. Perhaps in the magical world in which SCO now lives they believe this to be an auction.
SCOs claims seem to change faster than I can type a sentence. By the time I press submit the claim may well have become that Linux contains ASCII art animal porn.
Who knows what those wacky guys will come up with next?
"NO Multiple Document Interfaces? Thats why photoshop is mainstream and not GIMP."
Nothing to do with photoshop having several years head start, millions of dollars of development money and being the product of a company that owns several related patents then?
Nor could you say that linux was a stable OS. Stable, in the sense of Solaris or bsd, that is.
Well it seems fairly stable.

If anything it tells me that NVidia engineers can optimize well for specific programs, which is part of their job. This is a good thing if I am comparing one driver rev to the next and deciding whether or not to use the new driver.
But shouldn't they be optimizing for OpenGL and DirectX rather than specific programs?
Gnome is not a window manager my primitive friend, it is a desktop environment. A better solution is to use Linux for your server and Linux for your desktop.

I'm really really sorry.
Counterstrike is available for MS office? Wow, VBA must have come a long way since I last used it.

So you're saying no commercial vendor would ever ship a product knowing it to contain tens of thousands of errors?

In this new job I'll finally get to work on things other than fighting fires.
Was your previous job as a fireman?
A posterboy in comparison to RMS and ESR. You could use a picture of them to keep your kids away from the fire.
Well it seems fairly stable.

My Radeon 9700 pro works fine for me.
Pretty much any graphics card has drivers for XFree86, the rest should work with the vesa driver.
I'm with you unicron. Fight the power!
You can get newer drivers from this site for XFree86 4.3
But you're right ATI really need to get their ass in gear. And still no TV out for a 9700 pro.
Then you're obviously not reading slashdot with your threshold at -1.
How long will it take to download that software over a 56K modem? With that $24 copy of Redhat he has all that software and much much more.

They hijacked the standard they created? I don't think that means what you think it means.
