    Fact is: ASUS put money and effort in Linux. I am now planning to buy their MB with ExpressGate. I mean if they put the effort of getting Linux in their MB's I don't think they spared any effort of putting Linux on EeePC.

    HA! The fact that MS killed that market, does not make the market inexistent. If there is consumption, there is a market. Even if the prices are $0.(It's like saying there is no makrket for Linux since it's price is $0, but we all know there is a market for Linux.)

  9. Re:But what about...? on EU Antitrust Troubles Continue For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Well in EU there is NO gray area. Anti-trust law applies when a company can leverage it's, lawful, dominance in one market to dominate another market.
    The same anti-trust law would apply to Apple, if they suddenly make all iPods* work ONLY with iTunes(with incompatible patented protocol) and for songs bought from iTMS(not ripped, not received in any other way).
    Same would apply to Intel, if they decided to force nVidia and ATI(AMD) out of mobile GPU market by making some changes.
    * - I have no idea what market % iPod has, but if it were more than 70%, that would make sense.

    Really, would you say that a drug dealer/drug rehabilitation center owner is a successful business? You are failing to understand then, what is "anti-trust law" and why it is there.

    Capitalism isn't about breaking laws and shitting all over everyone.

    That is right! Capitalism has nothing to do with laws nor with personal views nor "shitting". Even wikipedia has the right description!

  13. Re:SOA? Ah.. Unix philosophy. Whats old is new aga on The Zen of SOA · · Score: 1

    It's the old Unix ideal of having many small tools each doing a small job well, and being able to easily tie those tools together into chains (or dare I say pipes) to achieve results.

    That is actually BPM, not SOA. Though some present those 2 as SOA. SOA - non-duplication od data/operations.

  14. Re:Single provider and SOA? on The Zen of SOA · · Score: 1

    That's what SOA aims at: interchangeable components in systems.You're not crafting one big program, or complex of programs, from end-to-end, making it up as you go. You're building uniformly-structured and interchangeable components, and assembling them.

    And you are misleading with your bad sentence structure and some wrong words.
    SOA aim is: non-duplication of operations/services/applications, their interchangeability and versioning.
    And it is not for building components, it's for changing the whole information distribution and operation access.
    But the reality is, it's the new wave of integration. That is focused on integration of complete IT landscapes and with future change in mind.
    Though, there are still too little successful SOA projects that have been implemented. And a lot of people are calling SOA dead.

    Hey,hey...

    There are folks who worked their asses off in school and decided to take a break. Which is a good thing because, I don't know about you, I wouldn't want someone who hasn't relaxed a bit; otherwise, they have a tendency to burn out.

    If you need a break after a long hard 3-5 years of school, you should state that to the employer. Most of them are quite reasonable. And usually, summer break, is enough to recover. If you take a break and have nothing to show what you accomplished during those summer breaks, you are probably not in the right place.
    Remember, that IT people should be a bit lazy, wanting to automate a lot of things. So unless there is a valid reason for you to need a break after school, I do agree with GP.
