Show up in court with your computer that has 8 different versions of Linux (all downloaded) with up to date torrent patches. Oh you thought that amount of traffic had to be movies? The counter suit will be for 10x what you tried to get.
It's perfect for the quad-dualcore opteron box with 32GB of ram and a pair of Nvidia 7800's on SLI with 4 160GB/16MB cache HDD's in Raid 5. Of course thats just my gamer. I'll need two more when I build the server.
The PC's at your work are a name brand(Dell, HP, etc) right? Guess what, they use the cheesiest, cheapest, lightest, (must be made of fluff not copper) power supplies they can get! HP was using the same one (the almost 1/4 sized 180 - 200 watt) that gave E Machines their reputation for reliability, after E Machines went to a standard sized one. This last year I replaced more of those than all others put together. Yes, I am tech at a white box store. We use Sparkle units for replacements, nice mid priced P/S and very reliable. They weigh twice what any name brand oem P/S does. Most of our new boxes are built in Antec cases, no problem with their units.
Amen to that. My filters are cleaning out 5x or more times what they did three years ago. I now bundle all of it and send it to the FTC. When I am bored I send each one individually. They can prosecute, or their server will crash, I don't really care. Soon Congress will appropriate more of my money for more/better servers without looking at the root problem that they created.
AS for the clown from M$, I don't know what he's smoking but he needs to share, and I quit that shit twenty years ago!
I'm sorry but I think a Doctor carving on someone should at least be on the same continent. If he's carving on me he WILL be in the same room.
After two cervical spine and four knee surgeries I know way more about doctors and medicine than I ever wanted to. Thats why I now have time to program and work on computers, this beat up old body won't do much else anymore. The scars on my knees are older than most reading/. (26 - 33 years).
When I used Netscape I deleted all cookies, then went to about 6 sites I had to login to (/. included), closed the browser. I went to the tree and saved the cookie file as cookies2. Now when I am through with my browser I delete the entire cookie file and save cookies2 as cookies. It was easy to copy the file into Firefox when I changed to it last year.
I have added a few sites to my file over the years, but I will decide what gets saved on my machine, not Gates or any other Markettwit.
Nothing, unfortunately. When the dust settles and the smoke clears he will get hired by some other tech firm for more than he has ever been worth (and like now, more than any of us will ever make). It will happen in less than three years. There is no such thing as corporate memory and the "suits" seem to take care of each other, no matter how slimey the individual.
Unless the judge throws his ass in jail for fraud, then all bets are off. It might take three to five years after release for him to find an overpaid job.
"Congress is lily-livered? Airlines have been bailed out? I must have missed all of this."
You were in a closet in 2002? At least 3 major airlines were bailed out by Congress. Why? It was the loss of business after 9/11/2001. Of course that was the taxpayers fault so we had to pay for it.
You never were in the territory served? by Mountain Bell/U.S. West/Quest. I think that covers all the mutations. This is the baby bell sued by 7 of the 11 states it served for "lack of service" and the states won. The company laid off 60% of it's work force over 4 years (not managment bloat but people who did real work) and got sued because it took 8 to 16 weeks to get a phone installed. Most of the states had a 21 - 30 day law.
In that same region the Board of El Paso Electric spent several million remodelling their meeting room while the company became the third utillity to go bankrupt since the 30's depression.
Uncontrolled deregulation is a recipe for disaster. After all, the one variable that no economist aknoledges because it invalidates all theories is human greed. It must be placed at more than 90% to be an acurate variable.
Every time a heavily regulated industry is deregulated, it costs me more money. Like my cable bill that has trippled. It also causes catastrophic collapse, does anyone remember the savings and Loan crash in the 80's? How about the airline industry, that business model is so bad now that the taxpayers are keeping them all alive because the can't make money on a bet. Congress needs to get a clue. When they relaxed regulation of utilities my bills went up and service went down. This happens every time because greed will always overcome intelligent business practices.
I suspect that most SCO shops are looking for a migration plan, and have been for awhile. They probably want a company that might still exist in the 3 - 5 year range, just for occasional support and a future upgrade.
Whats the difference? M$ does nothing without the major stockholders approval. It simply boils down to uncontrolled greed. If there is a nickle to be made they/he will do it, no matter how deep they have to dive in the cesspool (let's buy Gator!).
You might want to check the facts. The most persecuted Religion in the world is Christianity. More Christians are killed in more parts of the world because of their Religion than any other, every year. More people are persecuted for Christian beliefs than for anything else (what happens to Christians in China for example). It's been this way for years and only got a little better with the collapse of the Communist Eastern Block. The Communists can't tolerate any competing belief system of any kind. It might show how weak their system really is.
There is a product called Ambertose that has helped me greatly. I had a ruptured disk in my neck that damaged the nerve root controlling muscle on the top and back of the right shoulder and the bicep. It took 6 months to be able to raise my hand over my head. Since taking this product I have reained about 70% use of my shoulder.
This product seems to stimulate stem cell production in adults. Go to mannatech.com and check out the reasearch. It works for me and might help you, I'm not trying to sell anything.
In that same last ten years Gates floated the idea of making Office web based. Until all his business customers said "not a chance". Seem that none of the corporations would trust an outside entity with any kind of access to their data. Why would anyone think that they would trust outside control of their systems? It really does boil down to a control and access issue. It aint gonna happen.
Does it really matter what moronic name it has? Thinking back the "commoon" name has always been just Windows among the masses. People that want to seem competent will append numbers (95, 98, 2000) or say Win XP but few others care.
Of course everyone knew that ME really stood for "Monkey Excrement".
I still say that with the deletion of features originaly planed, they are just charging you for SP3.
I got a trial version of Novell Linux Desktop and have been using it for 4 months. It beats the hell out of RH9 that I'd been using. Detected all hardware during install and runs smoothe and seemless. It's easy to search the other drive(WinXP) and copy file in OO and use them there. Makes me want to try Suse 9.3 as a bstter version for home. NLD is not a home solution but nice for business use.
Profs at Universities are hired to do research which brings in grants and develops things which can be patented (patents owned by University for continuing income). They also have to teach, but that is secondary at best. The ones that actually can teach are the gold nuggets that are rarely found.
Those research grants at almost any school bring in, at minimum, double what tuition does. That should tell you where the priority is.
You are partially correct, teachers need a decent pay check. That alone will not change todys system. The NEA (labor union) and many universities have perverted the system over the last 35 years. When I went to junior high and high school (class of 74) all the teachers had a degree in what they taught and were working on a masters. Yes they had to minor in education, but the major is what mattered. Now you have to have a degree in education and you might get lucky and teach your minor, or not. The Universities got to create white elephants called education departments and the NEA got more jobs, while education has benn in a downward spiral ever since.
My Dad spent 30 years as a Professor and Mom taught 8th & 9th grade for 25 years. I grew up more in the system than most.

I had an auto-mechanics teacher that taught this way. He gave us the basics and then when we got into a situation he would guide us into figuring it out for ourselves. He really did teach us how to think and use the basics to do much more advanced things, creative engineering or how to fix anything without the right parts or tools and get by until you can get them. He also taught obsolete things like citizenship and what being a man really means (he had very few students end up in jail, most were quite successful).
It really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, Gates has no morals! Anyone willing to dive this deep into a cesspool for a nickle has no redeeming qualities or scruples left. He is just too greedy to miss any money he can grub anywhere.
Of course it will, thats why the 12:30 before it gets out line. The publishers, author, and bookstores don't want anything out ahead of time because it might hurt sales. Thats what all the security is all about, nothing else. It's simple, not rocket science.
The actual point of the embargo is that no books will get into the publics hands before 12:01 AM July 16, thats all. This is to make sure that nobody scans the last chapter and posts it on the web before 12:30 AM. Don't ruin the plot for the rest.
My youngest daughter started reading the books when the third one came out, is now 16 and can't wait for book 6. She even got my wife and I to read them, along with her older sisters. Not a bad story at all, and yes Rowling deserves a medal for getting a large part of an entire generation reading.
