This is the fifth such project from Microsoft that I'm aware of. With the previous other four ending in substantial failure. I wonder if they will succeed this time.
p.s. a search engine needs more than bright undergrads to be developed... Microsoft focuses on hiring undergraduates. Perhaps that explains the abject failure of their previous efforts (which weren't even released).
RMS has publicly claimed that this is the goal of the FSF and that the GPL was designed with this goal in mind. Here's a place where you can go and find more info on this www.google.com
This will likely have a chilling effect on Internet communication (at least in Europe)."
The right of reply is not a chill on free speech. It is meant to be there as a counterbalance to smear campaigns financed by vested political/economic interests. This is often needed in practice. Do you know that the Clintons were exonerated of Whitewater scandal by all prosecutors including their arch-rival Kenneth Starr?
During my first year of college, I drank a lot of caffeine, mostly from Mt. Dew. I was drinking probably 6 or 7 12oz cans a day.
This is unusual. The normal threshold is around 5-6 cups a day. That is when most people start reporting mild unpleasant side effects (none of them permanent), assuming you are a healthy adult, of course.
The LD_50 (lethal dose for 50% of the population) is around 50 to 200 cups of coffee.
I said it before, there was a widespread assumption here that Linux could not possibly contain copied code, while in fact, plagiarism in the real world (see under New York Times) suggests that is highly likely pirated code might have made its way to Linux. How it made it there and what are the implications I do not know.
I think having the same comments its pretty damning in spite of the "in denial" messages in this thread. Of course, the rest of the SCO claims that the *only* way for linux to become enterprise stable is just the lawyer taking out of his a55.
Short answer NO. Long answer anything in excess can cause health problems, including water.
People seem to have a moral problem with a drug that has no side effects, but let's face it, from the scientific literature it seems caffeine is it.
It is midly addictive, in the sense that you crave it, but getting rid of the addiction is generally very easy if you use the fade out method (gradually reduce your consumption of caffeine over a period of several weeks).
a few hundred megabits per second on a single TCP connection over a link with 100ms latency
In other words you would have to be serving a movie from a server in Seattle to a user in Paris. One would hope you'd never do that. That is why God created Akamai...
But Mr. Hubbard said the experiment showed that "people's intuitive sense of physics is sometimes way off."
Keep this in mind next time you hear about a "Duh" experiment. Scientists routinely test even the most "obvious" of assertions, because every so often those "obvious assertions" are actually wrong.
I have often wondered if the/. effect is not magnified by inefficiencies in the TCP/IP stack. I mean, a lot of people read/. but say, a server should have enough bandwidth to serve twenty users per second, 1200 per minute, 72,000 per hour... I doubt there is more than that many/. actives at any given time...
and another 30% is allocated but unused. So in total 60% of IPv4 space is free. I don't see where the problem is really. Yes IANA might have to reallocate a some blocks, and?? it happens all the time... we just coughed up some of our old class C allocations...
Why else would IBM and Harvard each still have a couple of class A's or somesuch. Inertia?
There is no longer such a thing as a class A... I know of organizations that used to own class A spaces and were ordered to "cough up" holes in the class for others to use.
Reading back the original discussion is amazing how many posts were far off the mark and how few were right on the button. For one, I didn't see any among the dozens and dozens I read who even mentioned the "buy it now" aspect of the patent...
ISPs surely are the only business in planet earth that complains about it's best, more loyal customers!
Could you imagine NBC complaining that Joe CouchPotato "simply watches too many football games"? or McDonalds griping about little Polly because "she eats too many burgers a week"?
ISPs complain because they don't get extra revenue from heavy users, but clearly this is a problem of their own making. There is nothing stopping them from metering usage and charging more to heavy users.
I never bought that a rescue mission wasn't possible. If they knew that Columbia would burn up, they would've found a solution. 1,000,000 engineers across the country, including all 10,000+ Aerospace engineers in this country would have been working on solutions. We would've figured it out, and it would have been much more clever than the limited scenario they have reightfully been exploring.
For sure. On top of that you have to include the Russians and the Chinese. They might also have been able to put together a rocket in short notice for an emergency....
It's their business (literally) and if they want to sell their products in Apple stores only, they are free to do so.
1) That is generally not the case here. At least not when it comes to Microsoft
2) Where exactly does this consumer friendly reputation of Apple comes from? They sell overpriced computers, to unsuspected novices. They let their Apple ][ user base hang without an upgrade path, they screwed the Apple-licensed clone-makers and they now screw their distributors. There's friendly for you....

You didn't know that? Do you ever wonder why?
Professional photographers (fashion, national geographic, news, Life) get one good picture out of 36 exposures, at best.
Most corporations that have heavy graphic or web design utilize the Macintosh platform.
This is no longer the case. The latest figures report less than 50% of the graphics design market...

Until a couple of years back, I had a copy on an old tape sitting here next to me. Never looked at it though...
Where can I get a copy of SysV source? Where can I get a copy of Unixware source?
According to Eric Raymond, pretty much everywhere.

In principle you are right, in practice error a recent paper showed that error checking caught corrupt headers introduced by faulty stacks.

The paper goes beyond that. It gives specific examples of such hash tables in linux systems.
What are "better designed window frames" and what does it do?
read up on UI to see the difference a good window frame makes in user productivity.
No need to waste pixels catering for an idiot when this desktop is the interface for a computer professional.
I missed the part where using cleaner fonts or better designed window frames that fit on the existing fvwm ones is a waste of pixels.
SCO is just like the depressed patient standing on the ledge of the building threatening to jump, when what they really need is to be rescued.
The threat about suing Linus is just the latest nutso move. It can only be interpreted as a cry from help from a mentally unstable McBride.
In a scale from 0 to Geek, he get's a 100.
