Really.. the MS people know they're speaking to a tough house at events like this. Let them fall by their own devices..
MS Rep: We have Clippy.
OS Rep: We don't. We have robust, low cost software that in many cases outperforms proprietary software. We'll even give you the source code to modify the products for your own use. If you don't distribute the binaries, feel free to keep the source in-house.

I've no problem with this so long as we screen all our elected representatives, judges, lawyers and police officers
That would be useless. Reptiles don't generate internal heat.
I already have a chip in my head.. one night I was walking home.. and a.. bright light, yeah a bright light was cast on me.. a huge shape then hovered over me.. it must have been 50.. no 100.. maybe 400 meters.. well at least 800 meters across.. it didn't make any noise...
errr..
ahem... sorry, my tinfoil had was slightly skewed. All better.
All this litigation and chest beating costs millions of dollars/pounds/euros. Why don't the respective governments make a proactive move by mandating that free software be used rather than MS stuff. I don't doubt for a moment that all the harshly written criticisms of MS by these people are done on MS-Word.
8 digits eh? Well, whoever's at 141.158.1.0 should be worried - thats a whole network address.
Not necessarily. You could subnet into larger segments. You're thinking of the old "class" system. In fact at work a good chunk of our internal routing equipment lives on 172.16.0.0/24
BTW, -CLIT-.......slashdot has a neat section that features writing reviews.....review yourself, and post your story accordingly. Or face the bitch-slap of moderation, killing your karma forever.
You're just jealous that Ike Thomas didn't fancy you as much as the lad in the story.
Don't laugh, Fortran is still widely used in the scientific field. Optimizing compilers such as the SGI/MIPS compilers do good jobs at generating tight code from Fortran. C and C++ are not the easiest things to optimize automagically.
It's no coincidence that SGI and Cray have excellent Fortran compilers, their customers demand it.
(sorry I spent all of last Wednesday in 2 seminars with a fellow from SGI's Canadian HPC group, I'm still buzzing.:))

Intel will announce "Centrino with Wings, for those heavy flow days."
Does this mean I can stop using PGP?
Question: Who was the first computer technician?
Answer: Eve. She had an Apple in one hand and a Wang in the other.

I've got Patent #GO,AT,SE.CX which says "NCR can give me a long hard suck on my arse.
Karma be damned!
I'm curious: Does the Bill Gates in your world of fiction send one of these memos
In my wee world Bill Gates cheats at cards, steals candy from children and pees on the toilet seat.
Thanks for asking.
From: Bill Gates
to: DirectX_Devel
ALERT! - VERY IMPORTANT - ALERT!
There has been a GPL game engine released! Consider it your top priority to make our next release of DirectX incompatible with this new viral-licensed package.
Long live Me,

I'm suprised ABBA would be interested in this to start with. They were a Swedish disco group, not a bunch of lawyers.
It's not that hard.

Now I see why the RIAA is so worried. Crime as organized as this is a threat to everything that keeps democracy flowing.

Interesting article, but now I have this unnatural urge to locate an old fellow named Ike Thomas..
It's also referred to by a little known term, octothorp.
What about "C wee tic-tac-toe board"?
Not likely. MP3 is a lossy compression. The "secret bits" would be at the mercy of the MP3 compression scheme rendering them useless.
Sir,
Does RMS refer to you as the "GNU/General Counsel"?

Yes I'm sure. I'm the fellow that updates our PIX firewall rules and also runs the Squid/Privoxy machine. :)
If my workplace ever started filtering /. I'd be fux0r3d.
My boss asked me the other day if I was a socialist! I said no, but I do use linux. I like it for scp/ssh/co$t is all
Then why not use OpenBSD? After all, it costs the same and they are the ones that wrote the OpenSSH package you find so useful.
Grease it up with petroleum jelly. Now spray paint it. Do a good job, adding several coats
I did that with the goatse.cx guy. After I was done I had a really nice Klein Bottle.
