maybe borland should have sued port authority of new york for building the twin towers, since// is/was synonymous with their compilers (borland coming after the twin towers is of course just a technicality)
all the Linux-users, who think they've got root-access to the building, will keep them away
its overgenerous to assume linux users have the power to block anything microsoft does by merely thinking they have root access
at least if they actually had root access it would imply some sort of authority
i thin the point was that even with all the extra crap that linux comes with (http/ssh/ftp) it is still quicker than a base install of windows.
i personally think that access is what makes ms office necessary. you're argument about "one thing" is just crap. openoffice draw shits all over ms office's rudimentary drawing functions
the piss-easy support for windows was just funny. microsoft doesn't support anything unless you pay extra. online linux support (forums etc) is far better than for windows
linux isn't right for every job, but some of the arguments that people make for windows are pretty stupid
Tablets are a solution in search of a problem and if you think people are going to do real work on a phone
LOL back at you moron. are you one of those nearsighted overpaid wankers from microsoft marketing by any chance? wake up and smell the fucking roses fucktard. smartphones and tablets are taking over the world for a reason
totally agree - except that i have stuck with delphi 7 pro
i bought delphi 8, installed it, saw the blasphemy that is.net, uninstalled it, and it has been sitting in a cupboard ever since. only reason i didn't return it was that it came with another delphi 7 license.
There are many MCSE out there who believe Linux just can't handle thousands of users like Windows
well duh! why would they compromise their source of income by suggesting that the competition is better?
what the fuck would an MSCSE know about linux anyway? there are a whole bunch of linux admins out there that know that windows will collapse in a light breeze
if your claim is true (seems possible), it is because of flaws in the php apps themselves that are exploited via xss, sql injection, etc. many app developers don't follow simple rules such as sanitizing inputs and escaping outputs. this doesn't have anything to do with the OS running the server though; it just happens to be that linux is the most popular web server OS. there are probably plenty of ex-mscse's pretending to be linux experts and not having a clue how to secure a linux production web server though; who can blame them though, what with no dialog boxes or anything.
lawyer's don't usually say things like "can't" and "won't" because they aren't formal. even engineers aren't likely to use them in reports. in legalese, "can't" is more open to interpretation (or misinterpretation, or simply misreading) than "can not". in engineering its all about liability and covering your ass as much as possible.
but i agree that such formality is totally inappropriate for slashdot; the summary will be misinterpreted regardless of what language its written in.
ironically i wasn't arguing for nukes. merely that if your assumption that the usa is the strongest as long as xyz isn't used against it, then there's good reason to assume that the enemy will use xyz.
simple example is the death star in star wars. seemingly unbeatable space station, except that it could be destroyed by a lone x-wing. the usa is like the death star, and the entire country could be brought to its knees by merely taking out a few key electricity transmission towers, amongst many other unguarded critical infrastructure. the entire country is dependent on electricity. yes there are backup generators, but not everywhere. you cut the power to major cities and there would be pandemonium, and industry would grind to a halt.
another example is how an F-117 knighthawk was brought down in the middle east using mobile phone technology. the yanks thought making an aircraft with virtually zero radar return would be awesome, except that the bad guys merely started looking for what wasn't there instead.
the stronger force isn't always guaranteed victory, and sun tzu is littered with that kind of philosophy
marketing: "how are we going to win with the tree huggers?"
ivy league nerd: "we have some trees outside"
ballmer: "what's a tree?"
marketing: "we have trees? that's carbon-neutral enough for me"
legal: "do we have a patent for trees? i've also seen trees at apple headquarters. we had better chop them down and then sue them for patent violation just in case. after we cut down their trees, marketing launch a fud campaign against apple for being a pollution chugging bad guy"

i think "poles" in the 4th dimension are called axioms
in poland it may be different though

please don't give this guy a blowjob
bloat is about a program doing something inefficiently (hogging memory, cpu), not about the number of programs offered
actually, you kinda lost my respect with that one. i lost interest in the rest

by comparison with peers like gates, jobs, zucherman, ellison, etc i wouldn't say rich, but i hear he has a nice car

if they've spent the past 15 years using Word, then trying to get them to jump to LibreOffice or whatever can take some doing
one word stuffs up your whole argument here dude: ribbons
for a Word 2003 (or earlier) user, Open/LibreOffice is actually more familiar than Office 2007

you're an idiot for thinking linux has anything to do with the security of php apps

GMBootyFuck... i'm surprised /. allowed such a nick. maybe it was created by hacking /.'s unpatched java.
you may need help cleaning up the mess, but i'm not volunteering
the subpoena probably just didn't come with enough cash
