With new versions coming out regularly, any clone will never be caught up to the status of the original project.
Yeah, but hopefully mono (and linux) will have enough market share that enough vendors and developers will want to support both for interoperability reasons.
Then mono can be the lowest common denominator that holds back.NET progress - just like IE is the lowest common denominator that holds back progress in web development standards. Give em a taste of their own medicine!!!;)
And it's even possible to control print media page breaks in CSS. Browser support is very spotty, although gecko seems to support most of it fairly well.
My company makes a web based project management tool, and we got fed up with using 3rd party reporting engines and now just use print media style sheets for printing reports.
Newer video cards have upped the RAMDAC speed to around 350MHz. That Matrox card probably only supports 200MHz or so. So the question is: what whas the refresh rate at 1280x1024? Decreasing the refresh rate often increases the sharpness. Also, as noted elsewhere, a lot of the GeForce line is pretty bad for 2D quality.
Haven't you got that backwards? All else being equal, a faster RAMDAC will mean a sharper picture. The higher the frequencies, the closer you can simulate sharp corners. The same way (but going the other way) that sampling at low freqeuncies gives a poor waveform.
But you still need quality components and engineering to avoid squandering that advantage. And a lot of video cards do a worse job with a 350MHz RAMDAC than old Matrox cards could do with a 220MHz (from memory) one.
While it is better, a faster RAMDAC usually can't substitute for a crappier one.
I don't think RedHat is the target of Novell - that would be a silly move. Novell getting Evolution and now the Suse Enterprise stuff seems to me that the real target is MS Exchange.
These acquisitions look like being used as eventual replacements for Groupwise. I think companies like Novell that have lost marketshare to MS want to use open source to claw it back. They don't have the market share to fully fund R&D on competitive new versions anymore.
I don't think Novell will be closing much source code either (I could be wrong) as that would put them back into fully funding the R&D again. I think they would rather create higher level proprietry stuff that sits on top - a bit like Apple does.
But you are wrong. In Thai and Viet, LEGIT versions of M$ cost no more than a few dollars. Microsoft is very aware of the price point in these countries, and prices accordingly.
So you are saying the article was wrong?
Fair enough, but unless you can back that up somehow, I'll stick to assuming the articles numbers were closer to reality.
Outlook 2000 massively blows, Outlook XP is a bit better but pops up annoying dialogs when the network gets slow, and Outlook 2003 finally has it right - it's the old "third time's a charm" cycle from MS rearing its ugly head again.
Don't you mean 'fifth time'? There were two Outlook versions before 2000 (97 and 98), and that's not counting the previous Exchange clients (yuck).

Consider this. The bigger the rock on earth, the more angular it is. Bigger rocks can't be rolled as easily by the wind.

Of course there are exceptions to every rule

Mars would be colder than Antarctica most of the time.
MarsAntarctica
And Antarctica does better in the oxygen and water availability stakes.

You're both right - 'defined by' and 'originally measured by' are two different concepts.
And the Sumatran Rat Monkey!!
Interesting that you bring this up. LotR had a main character capable of only three expressions (eye wide, eye moving, eye glaring).
Just like Sauron, King Kong is a plot device. The real drama happens with the people around Kong.
Oh you meant Sauron, for a second there I thought you were talking about Frodo.
I think that "Metallic Hydrogen" would sound really cool!
So your band is like Def Leppard or Poison, but even lighter?
Possible trouble with the government owned monopoly telco according to the NBR magazine.
I had the same thing with the 70's ones. I'd pretty much forgotten about that stuff.
:)
The red hospital, shell service station, police launch, float plane, and the yellow dump truck and back hoe etc.
I also got the technic tractor a bit later on too. Lego was one of the few toys my parents would buy me as a kid - good choice I reckon
Oh well, back to being an adult....
Viewing the file in hex and yelling it out across the room to somebody else who types it back in is more reliable than Hummingbird's NFS.
Great! We've been looking for a replacement, does the speed compare favourably too?
About the same time "moosen" became the plural of moose (as in "I see a flock of moosen").
Well I for one wouldn't like to be standing around in the open when a moosen flock flies overhead.

yeah, that doom2 is a real behemoth when it comes to graphics.
:)
I reckon Doom 2 should've been called Doom 1.1
Hell, if you want to read this review elsewhere - look at the first Amazon review dated Nov 3.
Now, where can I find someone to pay me for prolific book reviews?
Try printing a report and controlling banding... footers... headers... etc.
Make the printer spit out the current page and start on the next page because you need another inch of paper to print the section intact.
All possible with a CSS2 compliant browser.
But I do agree that PHP/MySQL are solving a different problem than Rekall.
Are libraries a vertical market?
:)
Well, they use vertical files

So, who has seen them so far, and how far south are you?
:)
There were reports of Aurora sightings in southern New Zealand - that's pretty far south!
I've loved in rural Kansas. Even experimented with tropical oils. Can't wait to try it with a partner!
For a second there, I thought you were going to say "a human partner".
I guess I let my imagination get away from me when thinking about what goes on in rural Kansas.

That point wasn't so much that they only get paid $2 per day - it was pointing out that Office costs 4 months wages on average.
So according to your bread argument, shouldn't Office only cost $15 or so?
the Open Source community are going to have to work really hard to make sure they DO stay the best for servers.
So, you think Longhorn is going to take over the server market?
Somehow I don't think Longhorn will do any better than WinXP did as a server.
You mean the "Exchange" mail client in Windows 95 that didn't work with... wait for it... Exchange?
That's the one!
The ones supplied with early Exchange versions were just as bad though.
Outlook 2000 massively blows, Outlook XP is a bit better but pops up annoying dialogs when the network gets slow, and Outlook 2003 finally has it right - it's the old "third time's a charm" cycle from MS rearing its ugly head again.
