Well, surprise, surprise. If you count the people who view the commercials during original broadcast plus the ones who watch them on a DVR it's more than the first group alone. Wow, arithmetic truly is wonderful.
Whereas mine used to tell me: "Boy, never, ever use then when you should be using than, you'll look like a bigger fucking retard than the fucking retard who criticized the fucking retard who misspelled expiry."
OK, I'll wait now for the comment telling me where is mi error.;)
I really think you are really on to something here. I also think that the guys from Ximian and others inside Novell are OK. But it's also important not to think of companies as an entity with a single mind and purpose. There is a lot of people there and the people with more power are probably not the hackers. Also, the hackers may not even suspect the real motives behind the behavior of the higher ups. So, although I'm grateful too for their contributions (as a company), that doesn't mean they (as a company) are not out to get us.
Well, since the GPL 3 is not going to be ready until January 15, 2007 at the earliest I guess the question is if the licensing is going to include the "either version 2
of the License, or (at your option) any later version" part of the copyright notice for GPL 2. My guess would be that they won't include it, so that they can know exaclty how it's going to be licenced in the future. Once the GPL 3 is out, thay may change it.
Actually, I'm interested, to tell the truth I haven't had the misfortune of dealing with badly designed databases and I would like to know what it takes for people to make them unable to provide answers while the information is there.
If M$ has ONE thing different between the systems (like HD vs no HD), then maybe people will be able to tell whether a game will work or not. Add more required unknowns (Headset? Broadband?) and the whole thing will go to hell.
Or they could sell all the extras in one package. Actually I think the games will just have extras if you have the required piece of hardware, the same way nowadays you can play Live if you have broadband.
I think this has become a myth that started with cell phones (for which it is not a myth). With cellphones, people in countries with no infrastructure jumped directly to cellphones, which I guess were cheaper than installing landlines.
The same thing could happen to free software.
But I don't see how this could be applied to replacing cables.
You know, I have been about to post something along the same lines in the many Google browser stories that have been posted, but then I remembered Picasa and, furthermore, Blogger, which don't have much to do with searching (specially the latter) and now I'm not so sure. They probably will do a lot of research related stuff, given their background, but don't dismiss other profitable ventures. Also, a Google browser could be seen as search related, just as their mail service is.
Well, thanks for the answer. Discrimination is always a nasty burden for people and societies. I guess it will be present in India for a long time in one way or another (traditions thousands of years old don't die overnight), but the less there is of it, the better IMNSHO.
Hello, I'm curious about something about India and perhaps you could help me lessen my ignorance. Is there still a cast system in place in India? Please don't take offense in this question, if you answer it in good faith you will lessen my ignorance a bit. If there is still a cast system, does it play a role in Indian poverty?
It's the only planet that could support a human civilization, he said.
I think he has his numbers a little bit wrong (or was misquoted), I would think there is another planet that has proved itself capable of supporting life, in the Solar System at any rate.
And maybe, just maybe, Miguel doesn't wish he were working for Microsoft instead of beind doing what he likes, with whom he likes and probably making quite a bunch of money while he does it. That was the point of my post.
6) Nat Friedman (Ximian's co-founder) is a big fan of Microsoft, and the only reason they haven't hired him is... no!, wait, he actually once worked at Microsoft.
I also learned that Friedman and de Icaza met at Microsoft. Friedman told me that they met while de Icaza was interviewing for the Internet Explorer team in Redmond. Friedman was -- hold on to your hats -- a Microsoft employee at the time, working on the IIS (Microsoft's Web server) project.
So they fired him, and now he wishes he were working for them... or something.
It's true! It's written in The Book.

Let us not miss the real question here:

Oh, but that's what's so popular about them... You get to choose!
Maybe Intel being farther ahead with this technology was a big part of why Apple moved to Intel processors.

Which reminds me of this article. You may want to start worrying about that precious bodily fluids of yours.
At least the link isn't slasdoted, let's try this one.

If you have good math foundations you can try: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - 2nd Edition. Which will teach you a lot of sound principles. Otherwise you can try: How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing. Which is also a good book for learning principles of programming but it's intended for a more general audience. Or you can try both. They are both worth owning.
Something along the lines of the freedom toaster would be nice.
Or they could sell all the extras in one package. Actually I think the games will just have extras if you have the required piece of hardware, the same way nowadays you can play Live if you have broadband.
So they would have you believe, eh?

Wake up: the ECMA standard covers c# only.
Funny you should suggets the parent to your comment was a troll. There is an ECMA standard for the CLI (i.e.

So, why doesn't IBM goes open source with their own Java implementation, if they are so eager to have an open source Java system?
