The summary was talking about the late 1990's, not the late 1980's.
Novell had been almost entirely supplanted by Windows NT server and other alternatives by the turn of the century, largely owing to the fact that just as the Internet was just starting to become the next really big thing, they were still entirely dependent on IPX/SPX instead of TCP/IP.. By the time they corrected this oversight, they had lost such a large percentage of the market in which they were once dominant that they never recovered. They were about relevant in the late 1990' s as Windows 3.1.
You're off by by a few years. NCP over TCP was the default protocol in the late 90's (Netware 5, 5.1). NT 4 started Novell's slide to irrelevance, but it wasn't until Win2K came out with AD that the coffin was nailed shut.
Companies and governments have seeded public discussion with enough chaff that they can make anyone look like an idiot if they want to, and the public's already primed to believe it.
You think? The government could tell me that water seeks its lowest level and I wouldn't believe them.
The author totally skips over the first sentence ""This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience" and then points out all of the things that a private citizen can do.
And if Comcast doesn't pay Minneapolis, Minneapolis turns off everyone's cable, right?
Wrong? When I hear "remove the franchise", I imagine Minneapolis saying "hey Comcast, guess what, competition is now legal since you didn't pay your bill". What I don't imagine Minneapolis saying is "hey constituents, guess what, your cable is being cut because Comcast did not pay its bill", and it is not clear to me why you do imagine that.
Apple and Microsoft control their own update process on all platforms; Google does not. It's the individual carriers who are getting in the way of Android updates.
And who entered into the contracts with carriers saying who is responsible for what? Google can't dodge some form of culpability for this.
Tell us where they lied - the card has 4GB of memory in one bank, its logically separated out internally when used by the cards processor. But it still has 4GB of memory.
They just need to run himem.sys with the right parameters.....
The Chinese is most likely doing this as a response to the US banning ZTE and Huawei telecom products in the US. The US government is accusing ZTE and Huawei of building backdoors and other security concerns into their hardware, so China wants to hit back with something equally annoying. China is basically saying that's cool, we can screw with your companies too. Especially since China is a huge market to cell phone makers that most US companies have yet to really tap into. And with a huge growing middle class, the amount of profit for products like iPhone and Android based phones is huge. China is basically holding the iPhone hostage to get better treatment of its companies outside of China.
The problem with that is the Chinese market craves iPhones and the US market couldn't care less about ZTE and Huawei products. All that'll do is piss off the Chinese with disposable incomes, "the growing middle class" and Chinese leaders will get voted out of office.
U.S. congressional Republicans on Friday proposed legislation that would set "net neutrality" rules for broadband providers, aiming to head off tougher regulations backed by the Obama administration.

No offense, ninnle linux, but mklinux is pretty good. It's linux on top of the mach microkernel. (Think of it as a "fuck you" to gnu/hurd, though that's not why it exists:-). Since it's sponsored by Apple, it works better on Apple hardware than the stock linux kernel. Maybe now that Linux is using OS X and Sublime Text for linux development, we'll get better Macintosh support in the mainline kernel? Anyhow, mklinux is pretty cool.
Apple had a bug like that in the iTunes installer sometime back that did exactly that: a rm -rf from root as root. Theirs came from if you had a space in your hard drive name.
If anything proves the commoditization of hardware, the death of Radio Shacks proves it. What was once a vital lifeline is...nothing. Personally, my last straw was when they insisted that I give full contact info...while paying with cash, and that was only an emergency purchase of batteries, not anything esoteric. Eff that. They won't be missed; they've been dead for years anyway.
To be fair, since download.com and entire CNET is actively involved in pushing malware, I wouldn't be surprised if any non-Windows downloads they might offer would try to push malware as well.
Once CNet acquired VersionTracker (Mac software site that'd been around forever), they tried their substitute installer bit. I don't know how successful they were as I've never been back using http://www.macupdate.com/ instead.

Doxing someone is _never_ the wise answer.
Posted by Anonymous Coward is truly fitting.
I come to Slashdot for interesting news, not sad news. .
This, more than most anything else, is definitely "News for Nerds."
I am truly sad. Is it time to launch the Genesis device?
My kingdom for mod points.

Will the Cuban government allow that? Cuba is a communist nation
So? After the US has totally sold themselves to the Communist thugs in Peking, I can't see see how this is objectionable...based on precedent.
Choices were stark: use Windows (with SMB/CIFS Services), or use UNIX (with NFS and NIS).
Novell Netware was still a player back then.
by hatchet, axe, and saw.

Yep, that's what I meant.
....just how can you be bought? And how cheaply?"
Also, shouldn't Minneapolis' club being removing the franchise for the unpaid franchise fee? If I don't pay Comcast, they turn off my cable.

Open up those unserved (or even served) areas to municipal fiber, google fiber, Comcrap, AT&T, or Bob's Bait Shop and Networking.

Oh wait. It's a dictatorship.
Can the US demand to security audit any Chinese product? Can we demand to see the source/firmware of, say, Huwai routers?

Dump Verizon.
