1080p is not the only HD signal. You're forgetting about 720p and 1080i.
While I agree that many 480p only sets are being sold as HDTVs when they're really just progressive scan SDTVs, all you REALLY need is a 540p screen to be able to display 1080i signals and be a "proper" HDTV, which many displays can do.
Not to mention the amount that do 720p native nowadays (mostly RP and FP though, almost no tubes that I know of).
Because if not, and I know almost no one who does except on super-crit servers, debian CONSTANTLY rolls over.
Fedora rolls over the same as debian, it's just that they hard-version it every ~6 months. They are versioning it time based rather than goal based so that if you install the "newest" fedora core, you will be at most 5.999 months behind.
Also, since they've moved to yum and apt-get, a new "version" simply means that you change the "1" in release-ver t "2," then run "yum upgrade" or "apt-get update & apt-get dist-upgrade". If you've been keeping up on updates, there likely won't be a TON to get up you (maybe a new kernel, which you can ignore if there's no security fixes, and some other stuff).
Really, fedora is just like debian without the stable branch. They have no "security fix only" branch (that's what RHEL is for). Just think of fedora stable like debian unstable. It's good enough for 97% of us, and I've never had a problem with either of them stability wise or breakage wise.
It's a sad day for people who don't read the article/filing as well.
Short version for people like you who don't want to read more than 5 sentances: -They won't be giving up any real voting interest -They won't be giving dividends -They ACTUALLY SAID in the filing that they won't be OPERATING based on quarter to quarter numbers (even though they have to release them), as they see that a "series of short term targets is as pointless as a dieter stepping on a scale every half hour"
So you were trolling and didn't read the filing, good show!
People in Austin have never heard of it except for their football team. Same in Seattle. Believe what you want, but if you think anyone "get(s) all wet" about someone from Georgia Tech in the real world, you're the one selling crazy.
BTW, "Tech" refers to whatever local (usually state run) tech school is around. Tell someone in Austin you went to "Tech" and they'll likely have a sister or brother who went there, "there" being texas tech.
Access and mysql aren't even competing. It's like saying, "Why would I use openoffice when I can use notepad?"
Access is a minimal driver-loaded (no deamon) RAD tool, for when you need a quick and dirty forms and business logic driven app for a few people.
People use it as a simple DB, but people also use MSword as a note-taking app. To replace access, you'd need mysql + a gui DB design tool (I know they're out there, just can't think of one off the cuff) + one of: -apache + php (no gui designer though!) -java (swing or swt with a gui designer) -VB -VC++ (although now you're getting heavier...)
Plus a server of some sort to run the mysql on.
Access is generally crap, and I hate using it, but it's great for a small office of 10 people to do small amounts of ordertracking/whatever type of small app they want pieced together quickly and cheaply, without UPKEEP of a server.
As a former Atlanta resident (17 years of my life, including 3 in programming jobs), I'll let you in on a secret:
The only people who think highly of GATech are GATech graduates. No one thinks LOWLY of them, but to most they're just yet another college.
There is the point that there's more GATech graduates in jobs in Atlanta than there might be elsewhere, so you'd be more likely to get a job if you were interviewing them, but the same goes for UT if you're getting a job in Austin, etc.
Look into the cost of quarterly SEC filings. It's usually several million $ paid to an auditing and accounting firm, quite an expense for NO benefit period. This also means that your data is now PUBLIC, eliminating any advantage to staying privatly held.
So, you go public with a small (10-30%) amount of newly issued stock. This gets your company a LOT of money, and gives your employees some reward as well.
Now you're filling quarterly, and your details are disclosed to the public, but at least you got some benefit out of it.
It's all about "if we have to anyways, we might as well benefit while doing it."
We have had plenty of complaints come in, and we delete their accounts as they do -- except with our paying members. We ask them if they really want to cancel? In ALL cases but one, we have received replies stating it was an accident.
Or are you using AOL 9.0 and accidentally clicked the submit button before reading the full text of the post?
He wants to buy it now because his money is in GBP. Right now that 2000$ USD laptop will only cost him 1082 GBP. 1 year ago it would have cost him 1280 GBP. It's 200 GBP cheaper now than a year ago for HIM (NOT for you, with USD as your base).
The cost difference is only part of it. Look at the international money scene: The US dollar is DIEING. HORRIBLY. No one wants the greenback. It will recover (we all hope), but for now it means getting stuff from the US can be REALLY cheap, even cheaper than usualy.
EV1servers is basically the same "type" of company as www.serverbeach.com (just competing with them).
They offer dedicated servers with no support (beyond basic setup of the machine) in either linux or windows.
That article is just saying that initially they offered ONLY linux b/c it took too long to deploy windows servers, but now they can deploy windows servers even faster than they can deploy linux servers.
I live in Australia, but have many friends in Austin, TX (my previous home). I also do some contracting for a company in austin.
I got a packet8 voip phone, and signed up for an austin telephone number to go with it. I can call austin for free, and people in austin can call me for free.
Why should I have to pay for 911 service? If I dial 911, will they fly out to stop my house from burning down/etc, or at least transfer me to the local authorities?
Even if you can't opt out "just because," you should be able to opt out based on place of residence.
Honestly, though, I don't see why they attach 911 charges per phone NUMBER. It should just be part of local taxes (be it property or income or whatever)
He did, and got in a lot of trouble for it. He then quit/was fired/god knows what really happened from AOL. Then AOL said they owned the code and it wasn't REALLY GPL'd. There was a huge article on this "slashdot" site about it. Ringing any bells?
No, there should not be a button within kde. Your KDE will update once your distro tests it and finds it stable enough for prime-time use, and then one of:
*emerge -uUD world *apt-get dist-upgrade *up2date *yum (insert command here never used yum)
will update your system for you. I'd personally be appalled if KDE auto-updated me, placing it out of sync with the rest of my system.
MSWord doesn't even auto-update patches... you have to go to officeupdate.ms.com in your browser to update it!
You say you've used it, but have you actually used mozilla calendar?
I've tried it on 3 boxes, and it works great as long as all you do is keep 1 LOCAL calendar.
I followed the steps on their site to publish my calendar remotely to webdav (including deleting the local calendar so that my calendar is 100% remote), and to subscribe to some ical calendars, and that's when all hell breaks lose.
-I can only add 1 appointment per "run". If I add a second, it deletes the first one and replaces it with the new one. Happens EVERY TIME. I believe it's an internal ID-generation problem
-Color coding more than 2 external calendars causes the color coding to randomize. Every time I start it events are in different colors, regardless of what calendar it's from
-The "publish" button for dav calendars is a no-op. It doesn't do anything, but instead publishes when you save an event. This is nice (the auto-save) but why have a button that does nothing?
-and so on
(This is on the latest build, for mozilla, on the mozilla calendar site. 2 winxp boxes, 1 fedora linux box, all same experiences, give or take)
Note: I LOVE the layout of it, and ical standard is the way to go, but honestly, mozilla calendar is not usable right now.

You didn't give a single reason to GPL java, though, apart from (paraphrased) "well then it would be GPL'd."
I'm not saying I don't support GPL-ing java, but how you got moderated to "5" by essentially begging the question I don't know.
Are you running stable?
Because if not, and I know almost no one who does except on super-crit servers, debian CONSTANTLY rolls over.

If you'd have said they were selling 5 packs, I'd believe you, but a 19 pack is going to cose 95% as much as a 20 pack, not a make-or-break amount.

Please back up this with a link.
Fact is, X-Box has a SLIGHTLY larger install base in the US than GameCube. However, worldwide, GC is beating X-Box by # of console units sold.
