  1. Re:Still have to pay for the OS on MS Drops Licensing Restrictions from Web Server 2008 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Still, organizations that shy away from Windows Server because of the sheer number of licenses they would have to buy on limited funding (think: schools) will now be more open to it.

    Somehow I doubt the pharmaceutical industry would be very open with the results.

    Single protected format.

  5. Re:Wow on Antitrust Suit Filed To Halt Apple 'Music Monopoly' · · Score: 1

    Apple headed that one off at the pass with Boot Camp. If MS wants to offer a Windows license to Mac purchasers for an OEM-level price, they can do that. Well, they could try selling ordinary ordinary licenses, but who would buy them at that price?

  8. Re:licence fees on Antitrust Suit Filed To Halt Apple 'Music Monopoly' · · Score: 1

    Why do I have a feeling that the Zune cannot play iTune's AAC? Should we accuse file suit against them too? Oh, right. Zune is not the dominate music player.

    Your supposed to use the '/sarcasm' tag. We won't revoke your geek cred this time, but let this be a warning.

    Be more cautious around cliffs. Or in one of my dreams, the curb. That was odd.

  11. This project needs funding? on Apricot Team Selected For Fully Open Source 3D Game · · Score: 1

    If everything is going to be open source, why exactly does this project need funding? Are the developers going to be working on this full-time?

    What kind of game will this be?
    MMORPG?
    RTS?
    Turn-based? (like Civilization)
    FPS?

    One more thing: forums kept mentioning the terminal, and I didn't have a clue what they meant by that.

  19. Re:Linux on What Did You Change Your Mind About in 2007? · · Score: 1

    Yes. Mainly I had encountered issues with upgrading. Novell's OOo was two versions behind the vanilla release (as was Firefox and Battle for Wesnoth), requiring me to install manually (which left a mess in the menus), and Battle for Wesnoth wouldn't update at all (dependency hell). It was all very confusing back then. I probably would find it easier now, but I am not confident that they keep their versions up-to-date.

  21. Linux on What Did You Change Your Mind About in 2007? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I switched from XP to openSuSE in March, and decided it was too hard to work with, to the point that I pined for Window's familiarity. Temporarily lacking an XP CD, I downloaded Ubuntu as a stopgap. And decided I didn't need that XP CD after all.

    They said the rovers would only last a few months, too. We all see how badly they botched that timeline up.
