"November 13--Today at OracleWorld, Oracle announced that an independent customer study--Comparative Study of Relational Databases Underlying Packaged Applications--Oracle Database vs. Microsoft SQL Server, November 2002--from IT market research firm INPUT shows the total per user cost of running packaged applications in an Oracle environment is half that of a Microsoft environment. INPUT interviewed CIOs, IT managers, development managers, and DBAs at 30 organizations using 44 different application solutions."
So either INPUT or Aberdeen has to be wrong right? You can find a TCO study backing just about any angle. It's becoming a buzword that's just tossed around as figures are massaged and misrepresented. TCO in advertising is largely a science of bullshit.
Officials at the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and in Livingston County, where the incident occured, are investigating. Livingston County's social services office is located in Lima, just a few miles south of Rochester, N.Y.

I've yet to see an office button that doesn't act like a normal Windows button. Or a scrollbar that doesn't act like a perfectly normal Windows scrollbar.
To every degree noticible to me all my widgets respond the same way. Even QT act like GTK ones. (though I like to only use GTK apps and stick to an all GTK desktop which is what the gnome desktop, which is what the article is all about, is all about)
E.g., click on a button, but don't release. Now drag the cursor off the button. _Now_ release. See, it didn't count as clicking the button. Even WinAmp's self-painted funny buttons obey that.
Same response in Galeon and Gaim and Konqueror and Evolution and rhythmbox and abiword and every single app that I can think of.
Or scrollbars. Click and drag on the scrollbar on the right of this page. Now move the mouse off it. See how it jumps back to its original position? Annoying, if you ask me, but it acts like that in all programs that use the standard Windows widgets. You can learn to use it once, and then you're good to go in all programs you'll ever use.
Umm no I don't see how it jumps back. And it doesn't jump back in Evolution or Konqueror or gaim or straw or rhythmbox.
Well, that's the kind of consistency that makes Windows easy to use, and Linux a bloody nightmare for Joe Average. Between KDE whose scrollbars do jump back like in Windows, Motif whose scrollbars don't, half a dozen other widget sets, and a thousand programs which paint their own (presumably because standard widget sets fall under the "not invented here" category), you never know what even something as simple as a scrollbar or button or menu will really do.
I have Knoqueror open right now and The scroll bars definately don't jump back, Any more false accusations? Furthermore that functionality seems so arcane and secondary anyway, I've never needed to try that until today.
I have no clue what the thousands of programs you speak of that paint there own widgets, I've only ever used two X apps that painted their own widgets, xmms (And that was only to the same degree that winamp does) and RealPlayer. But I don't even use those any more in fact I've only ever used three other X apps that didn't use GTK+ or QT widgets (xpdf and Mathematica) and I don't even need the former anymore. As far as
It's putting Joe Average through an extra learning curve for each program. And Joe is _not_ a nerd. He doesn't enjoy discovering how obscure undocumented features work. He just wants to get something done, preferrably right now and without learning any new skills.
I don't see how one needs to learn new skills you have yet to point out one behavoiral inconsistancy. As far is more advaced apps which still use the same widgets that respond in the same way, I don't think anyone cares if Joe average can Grok the Gimp anymore than Adobe cares if Joe Average can Grok Photoshop.
Again: it's about how it works, not about looks. So please don't suggest downloading a desktop theme.
So nothing new here just the same bullshit you've been spouting the entire time.
That's the kind of consistency that Linux GUIs will have to finally aggree on. Hopefully soon.
It already has that consistancy.
I'll be like you and start another paragraph adding nothing new here to make my response longer.
Again: Ooooohh even more text wow I have a lot to say. That Linux desktop must work really well!!
So inconclusion come back when you have real issues.
Gamecube isn't just for kids. My frat has uses more cubes than any other console. We have 2 cubes, 2 PS2s, 1 SNES, 1 NES and no Xboxen. The cube by far simply has the best multiplayer games (Mario Cart Double Dash, and Super Smash Brothers Melee).
I got the binary installer, but what's confusing me is that the Release Notes say the source is availible but on the download page all I see are "hxplay-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin" and "Test Plans." I'd love to get at the source because some minor things are driving me nuts.
But in this case wouldn't the infringer be RedHat and not the Linux user? Bowie/Queen went after Vanilla Ice not all the idiot kids who bought the CD.
And even if the users are the infringers, then if it is shown that the code transfer went the other way, that is SCO lifted code from Linux, does that mean the FSF/Linus can sue SCO users?
The Rochester paper once did a Fuji vs Kodak comparison and when you buy a disposable one-time-use camera from Fuji more of it is made in the USA than the kodak disposable camera.

MP3 might have a bigger market share than OGG vorbis but that's no reason to enconde to it. Vorbis offers superior quality at smaller file sizes and now is supported by portable players. Why would anyone want to encode to MP3?
> They want you to get an account to be able to download the Helix Player binaries.
Umm that's a lie, I downloaded the HelixPlayer Binaries last night without an account just fine. Maybe you all should give the new Real a chance rather than spreading FUD.
Personally, I wouldn't consider grip or wget or a perl script a browser. I also wouldn't consider Kazaa/Gnutella/OpenFT which transfers over HTTP a browser.
But shouldn't that threeminute stream be soley one conection while the 100 webpages be 100+ connections as isn't each http request a seperate connection? (Though I maybe be wrong about that I'm definately conjecturing)
Sometimes people get blaster while they are doing updates. I reinstalled on a box for a legit reason (hard drive went bad) and there were tons of updates and as I was updating I got hit by msblast.

Actually he used very agressive CFLAGS for VC++ but much more passive (but still agressive) flags for gcc.
His benchmark isn't fair, he's omitting the fame pointer on VC++ but not gcc. How is that fair?
