I like CDE and am unhappy that it's being dropped. Having said that, I use Fluxbox. But there are still bits of CDE (the apps) that I use because they are less amateurish and cartoonish, and faster than the open source alternatives.
Suppose all you care about is making money off some stupid internet idiots, so you start a site called Spacebook.
Which makes more business sense; buying a lot of computers and paying for a lot of rack space and electricity so you can hire cheap PHP kids, or paying less for hardware and ongoing hardware related costs, but paying more for C programmers.
I have no idea, but maybe the VCs funding horseshit like MyFace and SpaceBook don't know either.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told an audience of financial analysts that the company's attempts to cut prices of Windows to induce demand in emerging markets had failed over the previous year, and that the solution to the company's woes will be to increase the price of computers.
"The theory was wrong," Ballmer said, explaining that there wasn't enough new demand to make up for the drop in profits. "You'll see us address the theory. We're going to readjust those prices north [using Windows 7]."
Microsoft worked to eradicate Linux netbooks by pushing its PC partners to license Windows XP for next to nothing. This did nothing for Vista, but did result in the company being able to advertise that the new netbook category was still dominated by Windows. Moving forward, the capacity of netbooks to run Windows 7, which will not be offered for free, has been a major issue for Microsoft and its PC partners.
Reporting on the event, Peter Burrows of BusinessWeek wrote, "the company's goal is to raise PC prices in the next year. That's due both to expected popularity of a new class of higher-end and higher-priced netbooks, a new pricing strategy around Windows 7 that the company hopes will result in far more upgrades to premium SKUs, and a reversal of a strategy in the last year to cut prices to spur demand in emerging countries."
"I think many of you (Wall Street analysts) think we have problems we don't have in the Windows business," Ballmer said. "And I think we've got -- built some great strengths and, yet, I want people to understand kind of how revenue and kind of success in the marketplace, what does it look like if we're strong in the marketplace, what does revenue look like."
Ballmer, unlike some Microsoft execs, wasn't afraid to say the word "netbook." In fact, he told FAM attendees that netbooks are synonymous with MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices).
Ballmer disputed the notion that netbooks are killing Microsoft's Windows client revenue base. He showed a slide he admitted the rest of his team had warned him was overly complex (and I have to say I agree) to try to show why netbooks aren't going to keep chipping away at Windows' margins.
Ballmer told analysts there would be a new class of "ultra-thin" PCs" -- or high-end netbooks -coming this year that would combine the light weight of netbooks with high-power and high-performance of traditional PCs.
"When I talk to many of our customers, they say 'I love the Netbook but can I get one with a bigger screen?'" Ballmer said.
Those new ultra-thin PCs, the first of which will be coming later this year and, presumably running Windows 7, won't be as cheap as $299 or $399 netbooks, Ballmer admitted, but they will combine netbooks' portability, with some unnamed but higher-sounding prices that will make shareholders, analysts and Microsoft happy. (We'll see how happy they make customers who are spoiled by current netbook prices.)
"Our license tells you what a Netbook is. Our license says it has to have a super small screen, which means it probably has a super small keyboard and it has to have a certain processor and blah, blah, blah, blah," Ballmer said. But "we want people to be able to get the advantages of light-weight performance and be able to spend more money, with us, with Intel, with HP, with Dell and with many, many others. So the shifting dynamics here will continue to evolve."
Oh, please. How difficult is it to understand that if a protocol is standardized, you allow multiple parties to interoperate. If you want to add new "features" submit them to the standards body.
Is that you Bill Gates?
I have one. For $20 it's excellent. Not much light gathering power, but the eyepiece comes close to my better ones. Good for the moon, and I can see a cloud band on Jupiter with the Barlow. Yes, a quality focuser would be nice to have but the thing is 20 dollars.
For my four year old it's fine.
Considering that average, especially young people are easily manipulated by marketing, then the most popular things are usually stupid shit.
But as far as fast food, especially ground beef between pieces of a sweet, spongey, bread-like substance, served with fried frozen potatoes, all of which has had the taste enhanced with artificial additives, I'll give you this:
the quality is low, but the cost is also low. A lot of people don't have the money for better fare.
I'm not disagreeing about your experience, but I've been running Solais 10 and SXCE on a Tyan S2850 K8S for years with no problems. For now, maybe try the Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) rather than OpenSolaris. The OpenSolaris release are only biannual as compared to biweekly for SXCE.
BTW, I switched from Linux to Solaris on all my desktops since it became available for x86 again around 2002 because of it's solid feel and features, and FWIW there is a BSD compatibility mode, so to speak, since SunOS used to be BSD, so Solaris needs to support the many legacy scripts which have been written over the years.
The bottom line? "All in all, Windows Vista is a great leap forward for the operating system, with a much-improved, far more useful (and pleasurable) interface; faster, better search; beefed-up security that's a big improvement over Windows XP with SP2; and far, far better networking.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that when the H1N1 flu vaccine is ready, the first people to get it should be children and young adults between age 6 months and 24 years. That strategy is expected to result in 59 million swine flu cases, 139,000 deaths and cost $67 billion.
But there is a better way, according to researchers from Yale and Clemson universities.
Flushot If vaccine doses were first distributed to children between age 5 and 19 and to adults age 30 to 39, there would be 15 million fewer infections and 31,000 fewer deaths, write mathematician Jan Medlock and epidemiologist Alison Galvani in Friday's edition of the journal Science. Their strategy would also save $14 billion, they calculate.

So maybe Chicago just bought some shitty fixtures and it doesn't have anything to do with what kind of lamp is burning.
emails we get out of the blue stating "we're an all Linux shop but we want an Exchange server with Outlook licenses for compatibility reasons.
Compatibility with what? Sounds like BS to me.
I haven't tried it myself, but have you tried Lotus Symphony (mentioned in a previous post)? http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home

Gnome sucks.
Or, does it somehow hurt Microsoft?
Having a block of IP addresses does not make one an ISP.

So far, you scored a 4 for saying scrumpdillyicious is more important than whether it is actually food.
A lot of junk food fanboys out there. I don't want to know their average weight or pants size.
There are metrics for every category of product. For food, nutrition comes to mind. But not to the minds of a lot of Americans.

Have you had a search done from a different account to check that your data were really deleted?

OK, here's one http://regmedia.co.uk/2009/11/16/sven_deeptime_490px.jpg This charts CO2, temperature, and galactic cosmic rays. There's no correlation between temperature and CO2, but definitely one with GCR.
You must be referring to Al Gore.

Nothing wrong with FreeBSD though.
A good argument for running an open source OS.

Parent is someone with something insightful to say, and is stuck in the bad karma hole. Some non-MS Fanboy should spread some mod points around.
