This has been available on the web since 1997.. Alice.net was providing this service all the way back then. Actually it started all the way back to August 1996. Quantun Technologies started offering free site all the way back then.. IBM started a year later and has the patent on this technology.. For the moment...
Since the AMC division is one of the manufacturers of armoured vehicles, and a Armoured Personnel carrier can not stop a.50 cal ap round, does this mean that with this new armour, AMC will bring back the pacer as a armoured vehicle? Look ma, no blind spots???
we have to go through a class on open source/ closed source as required by legal here, and then we get an allotment of a few hours a week that we are allowed to to work on open osurce projects. Our company has a huge stake in linux and open source, and they are trying to grow it's culture inside of the company.
I wonder How reliable each of the OS's are if you remove the hardware failures? The true test of an operating system's reliability is how long it runs, discounting all hardware failures which have not been nor could be caused by the OS. As much as I disdain Microsoft products as being more bells and whistles than guts, many shops are using it, not only for the additional apps, but due to reliability, that they experience themselves. I wonder if a solid test can be performed and the results be truly measured unbisedly? I just dont feel that windows would win, but I would like to be able to pass on to the multitude of customers we have real and unbiased application and OS data. Not be at the mercy of hardware failure which are unpredictable at best.
It is not only because their budget has been cut. They have been using Linux on their larger system for quite a while. Linux allows them to utilize an OS that can work on almost all hardware platforms and associated equipment. If they have been unable to find a driver for the equipment they just generate it. Works all the way up to their raid modules. SO that makes it a wonderfully viable platform for their computing needs.
Once a piece of software is purchased, it is mine. Not yours, not the creators, not god's even. If I want to make 50 copies for My personal use, I can. What I can not do is give it to someone else. That is the crux of what, in their twisted warped methodology, are trying to establish. I agree with you that you are bound by the license agreement. I liked Borland's concept of it, like a book. Software should be like a book.
I do think they went the route of the greatest of 2 evils.. lol I do not think that modifying the screen adds any credibility, nor do I believe going to court detracts from them.. You must poick your fights, this isnt one of them, in this context anyway>. Fighting about the ability is another matter...
