Yeah, my name's Josh Beltash. I've been in a wheelchair for just over three years. I get by. I make quite a lot of inventions for myself. I made a little pantograph lift that'll take me up and down for the right level for the sink, but I think that this has got to be the best. That wheelchair will do best part of seventy mile an hour. More into seventy-two, we clocked it on the bypass, Gabriel timed me and, er, I reckon we could do eighty on a good day. But I'm not really a speed king myself, you know, so I'm going to give it away to Stephen Hawking, 'cause he's coming to London on June the second to do a talk, and Gabriel and me have got backstage passes. So when Hawking comes out into the car park for a piss, like he normally does before he gives his speech, we're going to jump him. Gabriel is going to bundle him in the van; we're going to drive up to an old airfield in Bedford and we're going to give the little fucker the ride of his life!
I've always seen him as a bit of a Brandoesque kind of a figure, so Gabe's going to thread him in the van. I reckon with a fair wind we could probably get him to do a hundred. We're going to film it on video. I'm not going to all that trouble just to see it once! And that will also help us shut him up, 'cause we're going to film him with his cock out, so if he ever does get any ideas about talking to anybody about it, he knows what we're going to do with the pictures. Fucking jumped up little spider!

AS your newly appointed lawyer, I suggest that you sacrifice your kids and let Billy G. defecate on your wife. But be sure to get the movie rights to the whole ordeal, there is quite a booming market in snuff and scat porn starring mega rich tycoons!!
Just because it is fact with regards to SCO, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is fact in this case either. The more plausible explanation for what is happening here is that Green Hills is slagging on Linux so as to prop up their own sales. Besides, SCO's FUD is directed at Linux as a whole, while O'Dowd is only concerned with RTOS's used in Defense applications: O'Dowd's criticism of Linux isn't aimed at non-defense applications such as set-top boxes and handheld computers. "I don't mind Linux's good press," O'Dowd continued. "But the good press it's receiving for the markets where it is appropriate is spilling over into a market where's it's not appropriate."
IIRC, MS announced a few months back that they would begin an aggressive campaign to vilify Linux, and I guess we're seeing the effects. Too bad that this company is not MS owned in anyway (and possibly a direct competitor in the embedded OS market). MS IS NOT OUT TO EAT YOUR CHILDREN AND DEFECATE ON YOUR WIFE!!!!
Green Hills isnt comparing Linux with Windows, but rather with their own RTOS, Integrity. Which in that case, THEY ALREADY OWN AND CONTROL THE BLEEDING SOURCE CODE!
Did you try amazon.co.uk? They seem to have all of his albums, and at reasonable prices as well. You can even get free delivery if you spend more than 25.
False. Seriously man, is it really necessary to spread such bullshit urban myths when 2 seconds at Snopes shows that it is fake? Oh wait, I guess you must be one of those people that believes that a litre of Coke will dissolve a steak in 2 days.
Both windows 2000 and windows XP can use "run_as" to temporarily change the privelege level of a program. And with XP's fast user switching, it makes it a whole lot easier to switch between admin and a regular user without have to login and logout.
An often asked question is if active noise cancellation can be used for to minimize PC acoustic noise emissions. The answer is no. Active noise cancellation relies on ones position in relation to the noise source, and hence will an implemention of it for PCs have to force one to sit in the same position all the time for to benefit of it.
I agree with everything you said, but the poster above you said that programming is a craft, not comp sci. Programming is just the application of computer science, just in the same way as construction is the application of structural engineering.
Ofcourse, the difference between a programmer and a computer scientist is less clearcut than my example, but I do believe that the industry is reaching a point where programming knowledge is not always intrisically tied with comp. sci. knowledge.
You gotta be shitting me. Where did you get that formula from, Fight Club? Unless you think that the big 3 are in cahoots with the Illuminati, there is no chance that such a formula has not been exposed by a whistle blower yet.
No, it makes terrible business sense. What happens if Microsoft pushes the price up too high, and Apple decides to bail out? Microsoft ends up with a white elephant, that they will eventually have to sell (possibly to Apple), at a lower price than what they payed for AND what Vivendi was selling it for.

cheap paper-cone "full range" speakers That's rather funny, since the current trend in audiophile circles is to use full-range papercone drivers, coupled with an ultra-high frequency horn tweeter. The logic behind using such speakers is that it eliminates the "banding" that cross-overs introduce in the sound.
The last time I checked, the mindless masses were not being held up at ransom to buy both versions of LOTR. Perhaps the reasont that the film studios can get away with this is because there actually is a demand for these products. Imagine that, suppliers of movies actually supplying what the public demanded. Adam Smith would have been proud.
Unfortunately, Slashdot is slowly becoming the tabloid of the Internet world. Guys claiming that they thought up a X-box like console in 1991. UFO sightings. The constant attacks against Microsoft. And now, stories about crop circles. The really sad part about all this is how mainstream media view slashdot as a legitimate source of tech news, but the editors themselves cant even be bothered to read the site themselves.
It seems that the quality on Slashdot is closely following the stock price of it's parent company.
If I am not mistaken, the financier George Soros has also made noticeable contributions towards the liberalisation of science journals. Even though some of his other business "ventures" are more ruthless, I am glad to see that he realizes the importance of free information and the societal benefits that it will provide.

SCO is not MS owned in any way (and possibly a direct competitor in the server market.)
Big Ass Cowbells(tm) are not MS owned in any way (and possibly a direct competitor in the cow bell manufacturing market.)
See, I too can replace words and come up with an entirely false analogy.

LCD monitors don't refresh in the same manner as CRT. Personally, I find that 60 Hz on a LCD looks identical to at least 85Hz on a CRT.

Yeah, just like Mandrake.
