Oh, well. They should just up and go Unicode all the way, baby.
I have six options (I'm in San Diego, one end of the Surfliner route) on the only OTHER profitable line.
Mass transit is profitable in high density areas.
And having rail lines operational is something the government should do. After all, it is only $1 billion a year or so. That's about $4 a person, or 1/90th of the cost to invade.......
this neglects the simple empirical fact that the current dominant web browser on all those desktop systems that don't run Unix is Internet Exploder--which also does not come with a built-in e-mail client, newsreader, chat program, blender, washer and dryer.
What? Internet Exploder comes with a whole damn OS!
And try to run Lookout express after removing IE (if you even can!)
And we definitly don't like SCO even though they are a little guy. My guess a major part of the animosity shown toward Sun is that they won't GPL Java (see RMS on that issue).
But who knows?
My personal opinion is that the first thing Linux will kill is propritary Unix (Mac OS X is helping here, too). Then the real battle can begin.
The way DSL works is it tries to go as fast as it can, and then automatically slow down if there is interference. Sometimes, the interference is so bad that it is better to just throttle the connection to something slower, because everytime it slows down there is a retransmit pause.
My intermittent problem was caused by test equipment left on the wire.
Ah, now that's completely different. Very interesting! A rich area? Poor? Middle class? I know that I just bought my first Mac for home use, so maybe there is expansion going on......
This is why it can be very good to buy from a company that has a local presence or at lease a local salesman who knows you by name. Especially in a small company, the sales force can light a fire under tech support's ass to make them get the right parts out to you.
Also, why waste $1000 on a $5 part? Reminds me of the Johnny Cash song.... "paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat"
One of the big problems with trying to compete in the Windows market is that someone most likely has already done what you're trying to do.
And most companies will go with the Ciscos of the world, if they can.
But if they are a Mac shop, then there is a much smaller area for them to play in, and they will be willing to consider smaller companies, if they will cater to them.
By that argument Slashdot is much worse than Saddam! Slashdot has wasted so many hours of people's lives that it must easily be many more than Saddam has killed........

Bridge is the bomb.
Double.
But video poker?!?!...I can't see that having odds much better than slots even for optimal play.
Supposedly the secret to video poker is to bet the max and almost always try for the full house. That is supposed to be near even odds.
So with Ace, Ace, King, 8, 3, you hold the Ace King (assuming they are the same suit) hoping for the full house.
No. You forget that there is a 0 and 00 on the Roulette Wheel.
So it is not 50% odds on a color. But they'd like you to think so.

Carbon can handle 65,535 buttons.
Hmmm. The company with one button mice can support 65,535 button mice?
I gotta gets me one of those.
According to rumor, in the early days of Microsoft, a new salesman screwed up and lost a $1 million deal.
He went into Bill Gates' office and said, "I guess I'm fired, right?"
Bill said, "You just had a $1 million lesson in sales, and you think we'd let a competitor get the benefit from it? Don't let it happen again."
But we can't trust Bill Gatese.cx, so you never know......

Ahem. One of the filesystems for OS/2 is GPL.
Perhaps they are working on it.....
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts, absolutely.
And 200,000 volts of AC power crisps.
I wonder how one could exploit minor errors in division or random number code one one of those....
I wonder if they can get certified in Nevada, which is much more stringent.
Probably two reasons: IBM has been generous, including GPLing some code (JFS, maybe more) and putting many people on kernel work (see the output:And we definitly don't like SCO even though they are a little guy.

You in San Diego? I'm in Lincoln Acres......
Unless the text has changed, I don't see it either.
What I really want is a car head unit that has a slot that one just pops the iPod into.
It is coming......
This will be the first, others will come after....
Perhaps even an iPod changer for those who want more than 40 GB....

If I remember correctly, Xboxes are made in Mexico, so at least shipping would be cheap.
Psst! Señor, can I interest you in zeee Dos Equis Box?
I think you're missing the joke......
Microsoft Windows.... Worms.... get it?
And next you're hear that they've been the secret partner with Hormel......

That's just my guess about it.
What I do is define the following URL as a bookmark:
:)
http://www.google.com/search?q=%s
And give it a shortcut of "g"
So I can type "g site:slashdot.org SCO" and find out all about our favorite company!
Seen at the bottom of Google's Mozilla page.
Knowning SCO's complaints, it probably was: /mnt/cdrom/AIXSource.tar
and they couldn't figure it out. After all, a tarball is a concatenated file!
I wonder if it has bounds checking on input..... perhaps you could submit /proc/kcore and cause a buffer overflow and get r00t on the gr4d3b00k!
