This is more significant than it seems at the first sight. Switiching from Sun to Linux as primary development platform means that there is actually more demand among customers for Linux systems than for Sun systems. This means that Oracle thinks that its customers are already far along in move to Linux and they have usually pretty good idea about their customers.
If you are spending the kind of money necessary to have a licensed copy of Oracle the cost of the hardware involved is not significant.
This is folk legend and its not true as most of them. The cost of hardware for server running Oracle DB used to be at least 10 to 20 times the license cost. Bringing Oracle to commodity PC hardware on Linux can bring the total cost of the system at the same level of service down significantly. Down to 20% or less of original cost.
Not just that? Imagine how much of the road you can see driving right behind a huge truct. Now imagine how much would you see driving behind a truck with two trucks on sides. Now, thats about as much as you going to see once this thingy reclines. Good luck driving until everybody has one....
I understand this might be interesting, considering all of them came from the same source, but for a country so large as India it should not really be a big deal, one million SMS. In Czech Republic thats a pretty much a daily standard for one of the three cell networks and thats a country with only 10 million people. Last Christmas there was over 10 million SMS in about one evening. So, what I am trying to say, considering they have about 100 times more people, they should prepare for much larger loads in the future.
The title is not really correct, since IBM argues in their motion that SCO had plenty time to put up so now they'd like them to just shut up and go away.
Seriously, I have no idea what this thread is about. Are you trying to prove how stupid are the tech support guys at your ISP? Well all that proves is that you are stupid to have such ISP in the first place. I am already few years with Speakeasy and I called for support few times already. Not a single time I had a person who would not understand exactly what I am talking about or give stupid answer. And I came with some pretty complex problems, including a request to debug one new router that was sending out in minute intervals incorrectly formed icmp packets. (Nothing windows would even notice, but my linux kernel complained a bit...)
What I want to say, if your ISP has bad tech support, maybe its that you get what you are paying for...
I will second that, the best programmer I have ever known, a linux kernel hacker (you owe him for Alt-Sysrq-XX among others), guy who could write a very good web search engine all by himself in 8 months and take two other average guys through ACM programming contest and win, well that was a math major.
Well, get the loans insured for extra 1% of interest. That will make sure you won't default. I understand having cash reserve, but it should be in the credit limit of a low interest loan, anyway. What you put against loan payments, you later put in savings, thing about the loan payments as savings and you will get you habit.
Your advice is at the very least unsound about the finances. If you are paying back ANY load, having a savings account is a sort of idiocy. Why would you want to put money where they get you 0.5% to 2% when they can cancel at least 4-25% (depending on your credit rating) of your loan interest. You would be stupid to make such deal.

If year ago 60% users were not interested in switching within a year, then 40% were interested and maybe did. Lets say that half of them did switch so there we have it, for every 100 users, 20 have broadband, 20 are still interested and 60 have dialup. Now is new year and new survery of these remaining 80 dial up users. But 60% are not interested, that means 48 users and that leaves 32 interested in broadband. Since last year, 12 more got interested.
In other words, even if the % didn't change, it still means that the number of users that are getting interested in broadband increases by roughly 12% a year.
Is there ANYONE at the top of the music industry who has a clue?
Oh yeah, they've got a clue:) You don't, though. As long as you let them ram it up yours, they will gladly do it. Just do what I did. Stop buying music for next 5 years! There is a lot of great old songs in my HDD full of mp3s, I don't even have time to listen to all of them in one year.
I think that if more people would do that, the problem would kind of sort itself through. No money for political donations, no power to ruin our and ours artist's lives.
Well, it was called "Stalingrad" briefly during
and few years after the WW2, I think... at least
I still remember from history calling one battle:
Battle of Stalingrad... (a blockade of the city
by Germans partly broken, when the water on nearby
lake froze and people could walk/drive over it.)
... and not separating data and metadata. If they would rather hold their document's metadata in database separate of the document, this would never happen. Nah, why would I care? At least its fun:)
Hmm, I made my wife compare the two office suites and then asked her which ones is better. And she said flat out that MS Office is better and more convenient to her as well since she used to use it at work.
Then I told her that she can either pay $500 and I will install MS Office for her or she can have OpenOffice for free.
Guess what? She opted for OpenOffice and bunch of shoes and dresses:)
I'd say, the OpenOffice is definitely ready for market.
Don't blame the poor sods on camels for detonating few dirty bombs in the us, after you launched attacks on multiple countries in africa, south america and middle east without declaration of war and didn't stop it after being asked several times to surrender or face jihad.
Don't blame them for 9/11 and Madrid and other attacks, blame these imperialistic idiots who started all these wars just to rule and police the world.
At the ones that don't, rumours and gossip often take the place of what little real information you would get at a meeting, and that can do a lot to foment discontent among the workers.
Where I work, we get stupid posters in elevators and bulk emails to get the information we need. I'd gladly spend an hour in meeting with some wacko for a few donuts. I feel deprived now...
Cannot you just bite into that sweet and tasty donut and hide in that place inside where nothing can harm you?

Or why don't we get back to the standard practice of century ago and hire a runner with red flag for each car?

Its considerably cheaper on Amazon. Barnes and Nobles has it for $44 dolars and Amazon for $31.

I am sorry, 12 out of 80 is 15%.
If year ago 60% users were not interested in switching within a year, then 40% were interested and maybe did.

Yeah, thats like cutting off your hand, since you have a splinter in it. *sigh* I fail to see the "Insight" in your post.

Why cannot we just all agree to have reverse MX records and everybody can make their own whitelist and no need to pay $2000 or even $250 to anyone.

See I can use the same stupid arguments you do.
In any sane place, the AG would resign immediatelly, the fact nobody even asks for it is a sign of a really wrecked place. Just a thought
Hmm, could it have something to do with the fact that Microsoft localization branch resides in Ireland?
If its good for you, its good for your car too.
