Businesses have started to skip releases after XP. Some servers are still running win2k.
You are right then. As a side note, there will be a big market when they finally decide to upgrade. By the way win2k is still supported by Microsoft for corporate customers.
Who knows, by removing said functionality, you may have a chance to buy up a startup that just re-invented the start menu in the most ultimate way and profit. Do you get the root principle now ?
It is more expensive than Windows for average customers when they have to pay me to patch their immediate problems. For me, Unix is less expensive in the long run because I completely understand and adhere to the philosophy from A to Z.
Nope, what it is in realty is give a chance for startups to develop the missing functionality. Introduce missing functionality if needed. Watch them, buy them if interesting. It is much cheaper than to develop in-house and this has been going on for decades. Remember trumpet winsock? It could have been developed in-house at a greater cost. Yeah, I know Microsoft dreamt of their own internet back then but still, the root principle applies; do your R&D at other expenses as far as possible. I have to admit it is rather clever.
Same goes for defrag and a bunch of other utilities.
A pizza is 3 dimensions. This defines a 2D shape hence no thickness is mentioned, I imagine they mean the side of a pizza box which is rectangular while the surface is square:
From parent quote: That safety zone is shaped like a pizza box and extends out 15 miles (25 kilometers) to either side, as well as a half-mile (0.75 km) above and below the station.
You got it wrong. He was talking about this place and the shuttle flew over that city quite a while ago. On top of a 747 of course. It was just a kind of PR stunt to show the shuttle.
Nah, it's slashdotters filling their freezer, making ice cubes for parties to come, that prevent the sea to rise. Antarctic ice is negligible compared to that. Wait until these parties are over, you will notice the sea level raising drastically. You will see...
I work for the first church of appliantology and we are currently conducting a survey on uids below 1000000. No need to be afraid, it is all for global and/or universal advancement.
No not that insane, VOIP providers allow you to set the callerid to whatever you want so you can set the callerid to the real callerid on calling card platforms for example. Trusting callerid and using it as an authentication mean is insane although...
You can add callerid on phone calls which is funnily trusted enough by banks and others, when you activate your credit card for example. Callerid is easily spoofed if you get a VOIP account for a few cents.
Many VOIP providers even give you a 25 cents credit to try the system for free without verifying your identity. Yet, many people believe callerid as the plain truth when they see a call coming in.
There is so many weak authentication scheme that are trusted by the majority of people and institutions, some other posters could probably add to the list.

Linux is great because we apply the root principle without profit concerns. Well, most of the time anyway.

How do you play a rocket propelled grenade?
I have no problems playing RPGs (rocket propelled grenades) and NPGs (non-propelled grenades).
I don't think so:

Nope, height is just known more accurately. You have to be at a very precise height to stay in orbit so the margin of error is much less.
And no, it is not shaped like a pizza box ;-)

The Dead Sea seawater has a density of 1.240 kg/L, which makes swimming similar to floating. Pure water is 1 kg/L

My guess is that it is only used for postgresql clusters setup, allowing different instances of postgresql to chat together as said in the blog.
I agree. I first realized that reading about Seymour Cray and elves:
