IMO, if they want me to be available then they pay

To me, Microsoft's crimes were arrogance, mediocrity and greed, the hallmarks of our corporatized culture -- none of them, alas, illegal in our business world.
How can these ever be illegal? A business is there to make money. If they can do that by churning out poor products then they can. If people are willing to buy crap then you can sell crap.
Just another example of JonKatz's commie-leftest slant.
if you think you can tell the difference
in audio quality between RCA style jacks,
and this 'optical' BS, you're deluding
yourself.
Well, I can tell the difference between a 128 kbit MP3 and a 256 kbit MP3, so I think I can tell the difference between the optical and RCA jacks. Assuming, of course, that there is a difference between the D/A converter in the DVD player and the processor.

Just like a bush supporter, always thinking about himeself.
I cannot help myself, I cannot help my fellow man.
If you have a debt large credit card debt (say >= 18%
interest) and you get some extra cash, what do you do with it? You pay down your debt.
That is what finincally intelligent (FI) person would do. Unfortunately, most of the people in the US are not FI and they take the wad of cash blow it on CDs, beer, or a new computer.
As for Gore paying off the national debt, it will never happen. Gore is the traditional Democrat, he will spend every dollar he can get his hands on and then some.
Remember, the US economy did not start its growth until the Republicans took control of the House in
1992.
If Harry had a snowball chance in hell of winning
I would consider it. While I agree with a lot of the Libertarian platform, IMHO the only way that they are going to get them acted on is on an issue by issue basis and getting them in the platforms of the Republicrats.
But why would a supporter of Bush - even if he
was misdirected to Slashdot - come out of hiding to admit that their candidate of choice doesn't even own a
computer?
Please provide some supporting evidence for this statement.
Please tell me how Al "I want to ban in internal
combustion engine, keep your money and legislate
what time you should go to bed" Gore is better than
any of the other candidates? Personally, I'm
voting for Bush because I want my taxes reduced.
Everytime I look at my pay check stub and I see
how much is taken out by Uncle Bill and his cousin
Al I almost hurl. Then you hear about the department of education which cannot account for about 5 billion dollars because its books are so screwed up.
Why should we leave any tax surplus in Washington?
*=> Now comes along George W. Bush with his grand plan to "cut taxes" in a manner that blatantly gives fully half of the benefits to the richest 1%. Delaying the payoff of our grandchildren's public debt for a decade, he'll use most of the budget surplus to achieve such wonders as completely repealing the inheritance tax.
Humm, if the richest 1% of the American people pay more than 50% of the income taxes then shouldn't they get more money back? After all, if its an accross the board tax cut (i.e. everyone gets a
10% tax cut) then those that pay more should get more back (or pay less as the case may be). 10% of $20,000 is more than 10% of $2,000
This brings up a good point. If I write software
for a company and said company goes out of business without selling any of its IP (i.e. the
copyrights) to another company, who does that
copyright belong to?
Seriously. Every sentence should say something about how Redhat relates to Microsoft. As all marketers will tell you, there is nothing such as bad press -- if you get enough people to associate Redhat with Microsoft, then maybe some of Microsoft's mindshare will rub off.
This may true if the comparisons were about the
good things that Microsoft is doing/has done. (There are a few...) As I recall the comparisons were regarding the bad things that M$ is doing/has done.
I do agree with Bob that those are not valid comparisons.

It isn't GPL. From the licensing section of the download page:
The product is free and there is no software enforcement that restricts distribution. The product is issued under a standard Sun Binary Code License.
Kent
It does use XML. Look at the openadaptor.org website using guest/guest.
Oh. Thanks. Where did you get the username and password? Random guess?
Kent
XML has been touted as the end-all-be-all of system integration. How will this fit into the picture?

If possible, take the good employees with you when you leave. I have followed my current boss to three different employers.

Were either of the BSD distributions affected by the interbase backdoor?
Only if the *BSD box was running Interbase.

I would also recommend that you check out AVS Fourum. Its a great discussion group for home theatre.

Does the $1500 include the HTPC (Home Theatre PC)?

I highly recommend them, although they run about $750 per chair.
Actually, list price is about 1 kilobuck. But you can get a ~50% discount if you either know an office furnature dealer or you buy enough in bulk.

Yeah, and lets have a Beowulf cluster of Fords as well.
You cluster computers, not tables.
