Are you kidding? There are lots and lots of companies and universities that spend millions upon billions every year on research and nothing comes out of most of it.
With over 56,000 employees, and $60 billion in the bank, they could afford to not do anything, and pay each employee $75,000/year for the next 14 years.
Why worry about OSS? They should just take a 10 year sabatical.
Maybe it was a problem with other distros, but people testing Fedora before releasing it should have done the dual boot and windows test. Since most people using Fedora and RedHat distros are running a dual boot machine.
There comes a time when distrobution makers have to realize that they are partly responsible for the image (perceivance of quality) of OSS to the public.
I was rather unimpressed with Fedora and felt justified in my switch to Gentoo when encountering this horrible bug with fedora and parted upon installing it on my wife's machine.
The first time I've ever had Linux futz up a Windows installation. How could they be so careless.
I needed to low level format a drive back in 1996 because it had problems. WD sent me a disk to do a low level format. I actually had two WD drives in my system and needed to format the secondary one. I had also just scanned about 600 images for a website which took a week to do. But when the time came, I mistakenly low level formatted my main drive. Whoops.
Ummm, why did I get marked as offtopic? I wasn't aware that someone was faking a Farenheit 9/11 download. I think that my post is very relavant to this article and interesting. Whatever.
If I were Lions Gate, I would shut the hell up, he's already made them a pile of money by turning the film into a controversy, thus bringing more people into to see the film.
Without his work both in the film and outside the film, they wouldn't be raking in the cash.
Before the movie was released in the states, I downloaded what was supposed to be Farenheit 9/11 off of a P2P network, but what I downloaded wasn't even in the final movie that showed in the states. What I downloaded had to do with "Skull and Bones" and stuff like that. Does anyone know what that is from?
In Tashkent, Uzbekistan (right below Kazakstan) last December, I went into a cyber cafe that was $0.30/hour. I was impressed. But of course the average salary there is $50/month. Yes, per month. Average.
Maybe the solution would be to make it so no senator, rep or president can get re-elected. So they can only serve one term. Then they might concentrate a bit more on actual work.
Search engine war? Single portal to the internet? I've always considered one of the great aspects of the internet is that there are many choices from which to get your information.
Can't companies realize that it's good to have a sembiotic relationship with other companies?
Maybe I can ask Tulip for cash for my 400 shares of Commodore stock. It's crazy, I get notified once per year by some bank that I have a balance $0.0125 for the value of my stock. They lose money by telling me that.
I did that once with a CD. I walked into BestBuy, walked into the classical section and just made a random selection. It turned out to be a pretty cool album. And trendy too because the following summer the Caviliers Drum and Bugle Corps played music from that album.
Wow, this is way off topic. Sorry.
Probably, that kind of crap happened all the time at the provider I used to work at. People who had domain names weren't aware of the workings of it and screwed things up when they were temped by fancy web admin DNS sites or whatnot.

Such a waste.

Uh, that was suposed to be funny, not insightful.
Actually, getting two in one day shouldn't be too hard since most of them are across the street from each other.
I've been trying to determine if this line is a quote from the movie THX 1138
Guy1: I don't see any dissolution here at all.
Guy2: Well you haven't.... Don't let it get above 4.7!!!
Does anyone know?
Stop it with the K Krap.

Was it made by Moore? I thought it was kinda strange because there was a scene where it shows the windows desktop. I thought that Moore used a Mac.

Somehow, thinking of giant planets as vacuum cleaners makes me think of Mel Brooks. Hmmm.
They should also patent rebooting.
Which exactly shows that they can't work for the greater good, and should be kicked out.

That works great until some asshole cuts into your spot before you can get into it. I'm sure getting out of your car will give them the cue.
I knew I put the moon and a table for planet in my address database design for a good reason.
At least it didn't go to Uranus, then the headline would read.... oh nevermind.
