It's funded by private investors and the companies who make up its board. I'm guessing you'll have to talk to them about cutting funding but I doubt you'll get much traction.
Theft of services? Melodramatic much. How is this different than any other application with ads? Next you claim that websites have to pay back your Internet service? Moron.
Zen Magnets was the first company to receive an administrative complaint from the Consumer Product Safety Commission without a record of injuries, as the company has had no ingestions of its products, said founder Shihan Qu.
Gates and Mark got those women by not being creepy, social retards like the vast majority of Slashdotters are. Felicia Day is also not a creepy, social retard.
When I was writing high-performance Windows software it was compiled with the Intel compiler
Good for you? Plenty of other people use MSVC, GCC, and various other compilers.
Since Intel CPUs were 99% of our market, not optimising for them would have been silly.
Sure, if no other compiler optimized their code generation for Intel CPUs. This isn't the case, though. Also ICL's benefit on the average case in code generation over MSVC or GCC is marginal.
Your word processor probably doesn't use the Intel compiler, but when was the last time you complained that your word processor's code wasn't optimised enough?
Yes, and neither are most applications. MSVC is quite dominant for softwate on Windows.
AMD's marketshare in server is less than 6% and that was after the 1.5% estimated drop back in March. Opterons "very often" preferred over Xeons? Sorry, but the actual data doesn't bear out this claim.
Rackspace and other hosting companies are used to operating on much thinner margins and will thus have an advantage over the rest of the industry
If that were true he wouldn't need to make this statement, right? Also if running on "thinner margins" was so great why are all the major PC OEMs having issues with their profitability versus Apple? Why are many of the "thinner margins" Android phone makers like HTC having major profitability issues vs Apple and Samsung? Oh right, that's because running on thinner margins is not an advantage.
Because paper ballots are just as bad. Ballots get "lost", they get tampered with, you have the "hanging chads" problem, etc. The thing is, there has probably been more rampant voter fraud during the days of paper ballots than anything happening with these machines.
Voting machines are a solution to a problem that doesn't exits.
Vote count delays? Issues with recounts? The ease in which paper votes can be "lost" in transit to the counting facility? The ease with which paper ballots can be tampered with? The fact that there are plenty of people who can easily screw up a paper ballot (aka hanging chads)?
The main use of this is being able to access an environment from anywhere. This includes networks that do not allow you to ssh out of their networks, which is becoming a common security practice these days.
So the main use is to get fired for violating your employer's IT security policy? Brilliant!
I doubt he's going to succeed when he hasn't even heard of state sovereign immunity. The US Government will laugh in hos face at him trying to sue him.
Or maybe it's not that at all? But it has to be what you suggest. It can't possibly be anything else.
Be kind to that straw man. He can't easily defend himself from your whipping.
Also, I never made any such implication that you claim I did. I'm sorry that saying that there could be any other reason than "zOMG ebil Micro$oft!!!" enrages you so much.
No one is owed that business. But it's hard to get those contracts when the incumbent holds all the secrets to the document format in use.
Well, you know, except that the EU demands Microsoft to give out the information for people to interoperate with their formats.
Because Microsoft totally hasn't manipulated standards bodies and harassed politicians who have pressed for open standards.
Just because someone has done something before doesn't mean they are some constant boogeyman in the background. Again, everything is not Microsoft conspiracy. Just like Islamic terrorists are not behind every corner trying to blow you up.
Slashdot Mirror
wouldn't a chassis that's able to be composted also be flammable?
No. Biodegradability has nothing to do with flammability.

They'll need more than 16 if this is a 100 petaflop computer. So either you are looking at the wrong machine or there's a typo somewhere.
What is deceitful about these apps having ads? Please outline the supposed "deception".
Theft of services? Melodramatic much. How is this different than any other application with ads? Next you claim that websites have to pay back your Internet service? Moron.
Yes they have:

They do have their own browser.
So then just reenable it? It takes all of 2 seconds to do.
Safari does what now?

What's the issue? "For" in this context means "in honor of". It's a perfectly valid usage. Grammar Nazi fail.
Sure, if all that Windows software was compiled with Intel's compoler. That is highly unlikely.

Gabon isn't obligated to grant him the domain name.
Yeah I'll bet $10000 they don't sue.

Ignoring the fact that you have absolutely no data to backup your assertion...
Yeah, not a single shred of data at all. You're joking, right?

Not when the company's security policies explicitly forbid it.
