Fine example of self destructive corporate. Kill Napster and, "Oh my God!!! Record sales are down! It's Napster's fault!". It would seem they have found enough rope to hang themselves...
I really didn't think there was such a thing as loyalty anymore. Don't try to save your friends' careers at the expense of your own (not only would that be lame, but just wrong!). The PHBs at the top most likely care less what you do, take care of your own interests first. If you have good co-workers, definitely take some of them with you...it will pay off later. If the rest suck, leave them...this will also pay off later.
It should be OBVIOUS to any man of limited (even severely impaired) intelligence that the M$ Linux Myths site is part of the grand M$ Ministry of Propaganda (apparently modeled after the Soviet propanda model). It is laughable to sit and debate the issues presented on the site, particularly for those of us who have seen Red Hat Linux totally smoke NT 4.0, side by side, on identical machines. Very simply good/. folk, the issue with NT is scalability (or total lack thereof), since the M$ solution for everything is to throw more hardware, more people and more $ at the problem (a la "lower TCO"). Kudos to everyone who recognizes the myths page for the absolute bullshit that it is. Sorry for the flameout...
I don't know about Boston, but here (Arizona) you can instruct your local provider to leave your long distance service alone, unless you give your explicit consent to the local provider to change it. It seems the long distance market is so competitive that all of the providers are engaged in the practice of slamming these days...
I can't be the only one completely fed up with this whole Metallica vs. Napster issue. Metallica played here recently on their summer tour at an outdoor venue...it is amazing that they (Metallica) were not running around the neighborhood at the venue trying to charge all who live close by, simply because they could hear the music.
I agree, this is a transparent attempt to spit shine a tarnished image. Perhaps larger customers are getting a little break on licensing, but quotes from the document like this: "Microsoft's Select License and Enterprise Agreement programs are separate from the support offerings available from Microsoft and its partners for Microsoft software products. Customers re-imaging software licensed via a finished goods channel using volume licensing media do so at their own risk and should investigate the contractual and support implications of re-imaging and make arrangements accordingly. Customers are not entitled to Microsoft support as a result of re-imaging using Microsoft volume licensing media and should discuss any impact to their existing warranty and support coverage with their current warranty and support provider." are disturbing to say the least. We will let you reimage and not charge you for the license, but bend over if you need support...

Agreed! SCrOtum is dead! Let them rest in pieces!
Stable and consistent development platform? Windows? Someone was drinking Drain-o...

I agree...we all have to be prepared to accept change or go the way of the dinosaur. Although this is a lot to be said for a simpler way of life...

AGREED!!!
