I know it, sure. You do. Slashdot does. Does Wallstreet? Does the public? Do the shareholders? Does the public care about an OS they're told they don't need? In the corporate sector does that matter? I don't know how many corporations install Win2K3 Server on every workstation.
when OSS software is delayed it doesn't really risk our marketshare. No new MS OS for 3-4 years? That can fuck up your bottom line. What does it say to shareholders that your company can no longer produce? While MS is trying to figure out what Longhorn is Linux and Mac OS X are getting use-approval from the government. Linux will hit 2.6 before Longhorn ships. OS X will be at 10.5 before Longhorn at Apple's current release rate.
Hey goober. The significance of N. Korea being dark is that it's highly populated and yet is dark as pitch. Those areas of the US, South America and Africa that are dark are that way because there aren't a whole lot of people living there.
N. Korea just doesn't have the power facilities. The nuclear plant they did have in the nineties that was thankfully shut down was so poorly maintained that it could have had a meltdown and killed millions. The geiger counters they were using didn't even work. They'd wave em around and say "Ok, you're clean" but the geiger counters didn't even work!
N. Korea's problem isn't communism. N. Korea's problem is the whacko family that has ruled there for fifty years.
I think it's unfair to label the missing manuals as "dummies" books. My sister recently got a 17in. iMac and I quickly grew tired of explaining more advanced things to her. I sent her to BN to pick up a missing manual. Chock full of actually useful information. Everyday I learn something about the Mac I had no idea about and I've been using computers for over 10 years. There's a lot of stuff in those nifty white enclosures.
lemme get this straight. you speak chinese, english, and I'm guessing a few programming languages as well? So when do you have time to eat with all that learning? No wonder Chinese people are so frequently thin.
Ok, I understand the problem. Been there. Done that.
you've got some lousy habits. I don't know what they are but they're lousy.
First off, listening to music while trying to work? Bad idea. Classical could be ok. The reason is that it becomes background noise. Music with lyrics always distracts me because I start singing the lyrics in my head while also reading. Unfortunately the lyrics become the focus and the reading is just that. No comprehension.
Internet? unplug. that simple. turn off the 802.11. just don't get online. No instant messenger. No checking of e-mail. Hell no/.
take a break. do rewards like others have said. read a chapter, then just take a walk around the block. read another chapter, get a snicker's bar.
Schedule yourself. 1 hour of the web a day. use an RSS reader. makes things much quicker. The day that you want to work is not the day you want to check out homestar runner. Don't try doing your work before you've scheduled yourself to go to bed.
er, if the signal has increased in a year that would tend to show growth. Say when we were listening to them a year ago the only people with cell phones on their planet were rich doctors. A year later the price of alien cell phones has gone down. now more aliens have cell phones. Hence an increase in traffic across the airwaves.
And an opportunity for T-Mobile to make a killing.
in another 100 years our production of radio waves will have increased by several orders. Your logic is flawed I think.
how many countries produce a radio signal? All of them. How many countries produce as many radio signals as the US? not many. how many will in ten years? Many more.
How do you think your cell phone works? Hyper beams? Wi-Fi? That must be some sort of new physics the kids are using.
well, if you did donate a kidney I'd appreciate it. My dad just got the donation beeper for my mom. The moment the beeper goes off we've got a short amount of time to get her to the hospital and under the knife.
sales will be available to the windows people real soon now, the service will be rolled out to other countries real soon now.
the issue with rolling out to other countries has to do with the laws of those countries and the demands of the major labels not Apple.
the issue of a Windows client more than likely has something to do with Apple wanting iTunes/Win to be the one windows app that doesn't crash Explorer at the drop of a hat.

Um, I see IBM commercials all the time and I could have sworn that every IBM commercial these days mentions Linux.
you are aware that VT is one of the leading agricultural research institutions right?
Do you have any idea what it takes to accurately model a soybean field?
how many people know that?

Apologies. Difficult to tell sarcasm from blind stupidity on /.

I do believe that wishing that someone always lives in "interesting times" is a curse.
IBM was once viewed by all as being Evil.
Then they started using Linux.
Then they saved Apple with the PPC970.
Then they beat the shit out of SCO.
Interesting.
Ya gotta love technology politics.
Now if only someone would make a cheap PDA other than Palm that plays nice with my Mac. Just wishful thinking, move along, nothing to see here.
hey, you guys, you know, the DOJ lawyers we talked to a while ago. Now would be a great time to pipe up and get some +5 Informative Karma.

ever seen the legitimate manual that comes with a Mac? It's not even a pamphlet. It's more a flyer.

you know, I always ran into errors or crashes using pan from fink on OS X. as much as I love apt-get it just isn't quite the same on OS X.
thank god. agreed, the news clients for OS X are much like ass. suppose I'll have to try thunderbird now.
believe it or not but many McDonalds run SCO. Serious.
Ok, I understand the problem. Been there. Done that.

splitting hairs.
folks, the only proper response to this news is:
Ya gotta be shittin me.
