  2. Some .... on Fortune file for Open Sources · · Score: 1

    Some mistakes have been fixed, more later. Man you people like to bitch! But the reason I'm posting this is to say if you have found an author missing from the colleciton it's just because I wanted to get it out to the public not for any other reason. You will see quotes from all the authors in time.

  4. And we're up for it. on Red Hat at Dell? · · Score: 1

    Well, we do use better parts, better interfaces and more reliable components, so sometimes this means that it will be a little more expensive, if you were to take a truly comperable model from dell or the rest, you'll find that we are price competitive.

  9. Actually, they got it wrong. on Microsoft to use Linux Defense · · Score: 1

    Microsoft will be using the Chewbacca defense. "Ladies and gentleman of the 'Supposed' jury, this is Chewbacca."

    "Chewbacca's a wookie, he's from the planet keskik.

    "Now why would a wookie who is 8 feet tall choose to live on the planet endor with a bunch of ewoks who are only 2 feet tall?

    "That does not make sense!

    "So you are probably asking yourself why am I , a highly paid attourney for a major software company talking about a wookie in from of a federal judge in a restrait of trade case? That does not make sense.

    "So why would a simple homegrown sweet os like Windows, which is even now being threated by the big bad linux be simultaneously attacked by the government when it is clear that the Linux os holds the true monopoly. It does not make sense

    "So , remember, ladies and gentlemen of the 'supposed' jury, if Chewbacca lives with penguins on endor you must aquit.

    "Look at the happy monkey!
