Well IBM is no longer a "partner", but rather a partnering-competitor type. HP has always been a double faced company, since they are direct competitors of Cisco, the pro curve line.
Really? Why would anyone think that the abilities to do math are gender related?
Biology plays this little trick om women, it's called giving birth. The only innate thing, that is 100%, is the maternal instinct that will definitely leave a woman out of a chance to pursue a degree, in a not so easy field as mathematics.
The last 50 years have brought more possibilities to women to have baby(-ies) and pursue an academic career.
Well in your part of the world, maybe you have such cheap cables.
The cheapest cable I managed to get was 15 USD(10 Eur) for 10 feet(3 meter) cable. And 10 USD(7 Eur) for 5 feet(1.5 meters).
No, it's not. Linux has strengths in some areas, while others lack horribly behind. And it's strengths are not the same ones as the weaknesses. Like, why the hell are there so many audio systems? Why? Why the hell is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is not advanced? I mean, Linux kernel can load drivers without a glitch at runtime, but the "advanced" thing cannot? Try loading bluetooth audio driver. And so on, and so forth..
OK, but now they don't, rendering your point (in relation to our current situation) somewhat moot.
And you really want to leave that power with them?
We have a fact of them (ab)using that power, why should we, the EU people let them have it. I vote take that power from them!
Allowing and not forcing them is what led to current situation.
Why? Because, since no one is making MS to allow competition, they feel free to threaten the manufacturers in a nonofficial way. You know, the way they do it now.
There is lots of research on addictions, and there's lots of ways to approach treatment, but *nothing* works unless your friend asks for help. That has to be the first step.
Ah... But there is always the way to influence and speed up that first request. Well not even a request, but rather admission of the issue. It's not the asking for help that is the barrier, it's the self assessment and admitting that there might be a problem.
I don't know a single person who's life was ruined by WoW. Do you think that everyone's life is a rose garden by default? What about when you are dirt poor, you have an insane mother with chronic psychosis and absent father? When you are thrown out on the street? And being 2000 miles away from you closest relatives that could help out.
If I would have taken the same road most of my neighbors did, I would be either and alcoholic or dead.
WoW saved my life. It appeared just at the time of the peak of my misery. Sure I spent a lot on it, but I can surely say that if I did not have my cat and WoW, I would have committed suicide.
And a lot of my closest friends did not know anything like the life I was living. So they all bailed, because they were unfamiliar. And I don't blame them, they would not be able to help me.
And if a person that couldn't comprehend me would come to me and start moralizing about WoW addiction, I would just say: "Fuck off".
So hows that for a story of my fucked up life, that is extended BY MMORPG's.
Well computer games and simulations are not the same. They are a substitution for reality. The way to place a person on the way off that addiction is to find out what that person is adding to his/her life or what is he replacing.
The simplest way is a logical conclusion. Or pointing out infinite activities and their uselessness.
People get psychologically addicted only for things that make their lives interesting and/or fulfilling.
Best friends have an advantage there, because they know the addict more than anyone else. And therefore can help out by means of simple analysis and getting the person to the right place.
She was devastated. I spend the rest of the day taking care of her. She left that evening after I made her dinner, and I think that's the last time I ever saw her.
Complaints are not initiation. So in reality, Opera filed a complaint, and their part is done. EC decided that the complaint was worthy enough to initiate an investigation. I am sure that EC gets a lot of those complaints, but not all of them go though. It's just like the witness and the prosecutor, it's not ht witness that initiates, it's the prosecutor.
If that were true, MS would be dead, since there was a 5 year delay in their new OS (XP to Vista), and realistically 7 year delay, because so many people will just skip Vista and go to 7.
FFS. Stop thinking that capitalism equates to freedom. It does not. Some of the worst regimes in the world are capitalist. As is, the much hated Saddam's regime was 100% capitalist.

WINE stands for: Wine Is Not an Emulator.
It's an API compatibility layer. It will not emulate any CPU, but will use the existing one.

In their place I would checkout the Solaris equivalent of jails. Solaris Zones look really good.

Cheap!?!?!? It's one of the most expensive cables out there now. And I am talking about non gold plated and non premium stuff.

But the most popular would be at the top. Like Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome.

Parent modded Insightful!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I'd hate to be your friend... Because you sound like a total ass.
Game addiction is the only one that can be justified by logic and should be fought by logic.

Sometimes when "addicts need to hit rock bottom" they break their skulls open on those rocks. Literally.

You actually made her dinner and ... nothing?
15W excluding chipset? That is a lot! Atom is 2.5W, that is 6 times less then their spec.
Ubuntu 9.04 has Flash installed by default and even in x64 distro.
How can it break, when there is no replacement designed and in production.

So, by that logic, any slamming of ANY OS is "lazy and uninformed". Since, you know, there is the right configuration for ANY OS.
