Open source, he said, creates a license 'so that nobody can ever improve the software'
I think Bill must live in opposite land, because the meaning he is associating with the word "nobody" is the one I associate with the word "everybody".
I wonder what Apple will release around the same time that Microsoft releases their next OS? A version of OSX that runs on any "Vista Ready" machine before then would be kinda cool. The press seems to be split on how Vista is helping/hindering Apple, but I am sure things are already percolating based on the 2010 release of the next Microsoft OS.
10GB??? Mine only takes up two, and includes open office, an apache web server, mysql, gimp, full dev environment, and a bunch of other tools I can't even recall at the moment. All with a lovely gui interface that never breaks. The 100+ day uptime is pretty sweet too.
Screw that; I want photosynthesis! Though not as a primary means of generating food, it would make a cool backup source of energy. Plus being green would be cool.
I stopped reading at the part where you talked about their suppository continuing to inch upwards. I don't care how great a piece of software is, but that is a definite no-go. Ouch.
The worst part is I might end up having to call my dad "uncle" and my uncle "dad". Or maybe I could just call them both "uncle dad" and confuse everyone else.
The interesting thing about this is that as console gaming continues to grow (presumably some of it due to slurping away people from the desktop gaming market) this inadvertently helps linux. I wonder if we will reach a tipping point where developing for the various consoles is more profitable than developing for desktop PCs?
Actually, it would be awesome if as part of the smtp transaction the server would include how many messages a given account has sent in the past 24 hours. More than likely I could toss (or at least mark as bad using spam assassin) email from anyone who has sent, say, mail to 300 or more recipients in the past 24 hours and most likely not kill any legit messages. Obviously if the server is compromised this is useless, but for the big freebie mail services this would be awesome.
Doctorow's daughter with Alice Taylor, Poesy Emmeline Fibonacci Nautilus Taylor Doctorow....
Ouch; how can this child grow up normal with a name like that???
It sounds good on paper but we need to remember what happened to the Mars Polar Lander... I thought that this mission was declared a success after it had been renamed the "Mars Impactor" to study crater formation on Mars?
In addition, due to the physics of how the landing radar works, it will actually steer the spacecraft into any obstacles on the surface. Couldn't they find the routine that checks to see where to steer and simply have it return a 0 instead of a 1???
This must be why holodecks were created; in spite of them being dangerous, it was the best way to keep captains like Captain Kirk from going on away missions.
So as long as the alzheimers patients put their shoes on, they can't wander away? Or maybe the staff just ties the knots really tight so they can't get them off.
The really nice thing is if you don't buy the superdupermondo version, you can add disk space until you turn blue and it won't matter: the mail stores in the standard exchange 2003 version are limited to 2GB, you can only have one, so be prepared to fork over more money for a version that is identical, except it doesn't have the limit. As an added bonus, feel happy that you could have bought a really nice linux server for the cost of the exchange software alone.

So this would be a boon for the construction industry as well?

Wouldn't a decimal point solve this problem?

Hopefully it will be a street address in Nigeria because no way am I sending money to a pobox there.

I must admit I appreciate Microsoft making it even easier for me to sell the higher-ups on the advantages of using OpenOffice.

How did they sound as our ancestors clubbed them on the head?

More importantly, who doesn't have dedicated circuits for servers and who allows the janitor access to the machine room?

The best part will be looking at the parts of your life where you looked at the earlier parts of your life. Or maybe something like this: http://www.nearingzero.net/screen_res/nz317.jpg
The hardest part is having to wear a helmet all day to avoid head injuries from flying chairs.
Maybe they can start growing more corn once the beer riots end?
