Utter nonsense. The last paragraph illustrates perfectly why. 99% of the market does't want to customize their OS, they want apps. I can't believe 30 years later some people still don't get that.
"Babhoota said the agency had already successfully bedded down open source on its back-end, running its Oracle 9i and 10g core databases"
Oracle??? Talk about hypocrisy. How much $$$ would they save getting away from that "proprietary" software?
"While the back-end migration consisted of moving off heavier Unix- and Solaris-based operating systems running on Sun hardware..."
LOL! So they moved from Unix/Solaris to "open source" and not from Windows to "open source". Oooook.
please explain how John Ashcroft and the CC are going to ban ANYTHING on their own?
anyway, maybe its time for such action... Lord knows the country has gone to hell over the last 30 years and it ain't the fault of the right-wing, in case you hadn't noticed

1/3 of wireless networks are not secured? wow. anyone with netstumbler could figure that out in 5 minutes of driving around.
only you could call $750 to $200 per song "foiled". nothing like spinning.
First of all, COBOL was still being taught 20-25 years ago so there should still be plenty of CS people around that can do it.
Second, if they can't adjust pay, how do they do raises every year??
JC.
Yeah, how much of the European prices include VAT, etc?
Don't single out software. Go ahead and price other things in Europe relative to here.
i have to restart my WRT54G every week or two. I almost never reboot my Windows XP boxes.
pathetic.
Where in there does it say "p2p will be outlawed"?
The beauty of Silverlight is the number of languages you can use. Even Ruby is coming to it.
Silverlight is a browser plugin. It takes all of about 10 seconds to install.
Flash needs to just go away.
Are people forgetting that "Microsoft doesn't innovate"?
OOOOOOOh, it's requires Silverlight. I'm not going to waste 10 seconds installing that!
It was a copy, not a rename.
Not to let basic facts get in your way.
Trailers always look good. You can't judge jack squat using them.
Considering the cost per kWh that it will be to generate your own, why bother?
So to "get around" the Vista security they had to install a service using admin privileges. Ok????
The cluelessness is simply astounding.
"Good luck with that"?? Doesn't M$ currently have like 90% of the office market? I think its Google that needs luck.
Utter nonsense. The last paragraph illustrates perfectly why. 99% of the market does't want to customize their OS, they want apps. I can't believe 30 years later some people still don't get that.
Lol. You won't mind if I take your "imaginary" car then?
my dictionary defines "genuine" as "not counterfeit".
there are some real idiots out there.
Yeah, because no one has Windows at home already but they have lots of computers laying around with no OS.
"2006, the year of Linux on the desktop!!(??)"

*yawn*

China is building their own OS using Linux so I guess one again y'all are full of hypocritical shyt.
"How they expect anyone to take their statistics seriously is beyond me."
I'm sure it is beyond you.
