Undelete in windows is also desktop based. Ever notice that uninstallers don't delete to the "Recycle bin"? You can also try opening a cmd window and deleting something with del and notice that it does not appear in the "recycle bin"
Your looking at the wrong limit. If they do a 1:4 reverse split to bring the stock to just under $4 and the stock drops back to where it is now then the value of the company is Then 4.82 million. You calculate market value by subtracting the value of the stock held by insiders so there isn't that much room to breathe when they need to maintain a market value of at least 1 million.
The fisher price look is ugly and I hate the new start menu format introduced by XP but that's all offset by how badly 2000 handles USB devices. XP-SP2 fixed a lot of other annoyances with XP.
Vista, on the other hand, offers nothing new functionality wise.. It's just a new interface with DRM.
Besides the poor - or soon to be poor - who does an embargo hurt?
The opposing party/leaders. An embargo provides what every politician needs: something to blame everything on.
"It's not my fault your poor. It's the embargo"
"Not my fault we don't have enough fule. It's the embargo"
"The lack of electricity in Havana? The food shortages? All the American's fault"
"It's not that we have rules and policies that discourage actual progress. It's all those damn Americans"
As someone whoes talked to a lot of Cubans and knowing what conditions are like in that country (outside of the tourist areas) I have to wonder if Castro would have been overthrown a long time ago if the American government hadn't been jumping up and down with huge "Blame us for everything" sign on their foreheads.
That only applies if he hasn't accepted any outside submissions and therefore is the copyright holder of the code or has had all copyrights assigned to him.
But I also agree with you that the internet does not feed you, clothe you, or provide a place to live. Those come from people, not machines, and we should not look away from those right next to us.
The internet is how I run my servers, contact my clients search for help. So it does provide the income that I need to do all of those things
Cutting off my internet access would very quickly leave me homeless.
The IT department and principal made the wrong move. What they should have done is complained to myspace then the stupid (and obviously TOS violating) pages would have been taken down and there would be nothing for the other students to see. Much easier than a filtering proxy.
Instead they left the site up for all to see and sat there obsessively watching it. The result is that it was more entertaining for the other students and the ones who created the sites get to know just how pissed off they made the administration.
Last time I pieced together a system I found that I would end up paying more for a core2duo once I factored in the cost of the motherboard.
And that was before I found out about the 32bit vs 64 bit performance difference. It all worked out in my favor since I run my system in almost entirely 64 bit mode.
That's not true.. The itanium failed because it's design was so bad that 32 bit x86 processors were outrunning it even when the same app was compiled natively for each architecture being compared.
I have a 4200+ as well and most of the time it's in it's lowest possible frequency setting. (you can check in/proc/cpuinfo) Playing videos won't tax the system but some games will and so will compiling for extended periods of time. I'd say for 95% of my computer's life it's throttled down.
The problem with using distro kernels is that if your machine is new enough there will be drivers you need that aren't in the distro kernel or won't unnecessarily work properly.
I've had customers give me servers with not supported or improperly supported network devices and raid controllers.
My personal PC has a sound controller that's not supported by anything older than 2.6.19.
It used to be that when I'd do a Linux install I would install my own php, apache, ftpd, mysql etc but over time it's gotten better. Now I'm down to the kernel and my favorite window manager.
I have little doubt there will come a day when I don't need to do my own kernel installs but that day isn't here yet.
The downside to that idea is one of the reasons Linux no longer has an unstable branch. With two separate branches it's more fun working on the cutting edge new stuff rather than spending time working out bugs in the old.
With all new work grinding to a halt it forces developers to fix the bugs in the old before working on the new.
The WTO certainly does not frown on morality based protectionism. There are actually WTO rules to specifically ban things for moral/religious reasons but the rule is that bans must apply equally to companies based inside the country as well.
The US gambling laws are economic protectionism hidden behind a thin veil of moralism and that's what the WTO is objecting to.
If they still want to ban gambling then they need ban it for everyone and remove the exceptions for US businesses.
A few years back I registered apfbiolectronics.com (APril fools bioelectronics. Made up a name and had a friend design a website about affordable medical devices for the masses
I took an arm crash dump at random from google and then posted a complaint to linux-kernel and linux-arm about how linux crashed and killed my test monkey and could they hurry up and fix it so we could move on with human trials.
The result:
2 offers for help
1 plea to scrap the project immediately in the name of all things good in this world (man I wish I still had that email).
I doubt it. The mainstream porn companies will volunteer for this because people know their brands anyways. The trouble comes with the huge number of bottom feeders in the industry that want you see their porn any way they can get you to.
Do you really think someone who would go to far as to typosquat NASA or whitehouse would voluntarily switch ports?
Listen to those criticizing your project and correct what they identify. That's the best way to get rid of those that will publicly attack you till you decide to quit.
So what do you do when the presented ideas are completely useless? Take for example the suggestion I've seen for every project I've ever been involved with where someone will just stop in and demand the whole project be rewritten in their favorite language. What then?
What do you do with the person who thinks your text editor needs a video playback system and demands it's immediate inclusion?
What do you do when you just get vague complaints of bugs with absolutely no information about what actually went wrong?
Knowing when not to listen is a very good skill to have.
And if you really makes you sore, you go get some real beer and some glasses and you hook that somfabitch up
Tried that.. the guy complained my beer had too much of a punch at 6.6% and said he was getting tipsy after a bottle.. next time he came over he brought his own watered down crap with him
That is actually what they do here in Montreal Canada. The city owns the conduit and anyone who wants to can put cable inside for a per kilometer rental fee.
I doubt it is. Like the parent to my other post, I suspect you are not in their target market (DRM protected, high priced ringtones are not targeted at/. readers). The underlying issue is about the target market of certain items and who will use them. The multi-dollar ringtone is addressed to people who value convenience and/or instant gratification.
If it were a simple matter of market targeting then they would not have locked so many phones from being able to transfer over USB or bluetooth. Those phone features were already coded into the phone by the handset makers but were disabled by the telcos so it's not the development cost of having the feature. With my last phone the disable consisted of flipping two bitflags in the phone's config. It is price gouging pure and simple.
In the case of my patches, they were against [iirc] 2.6.18.2 not 2.6.19-rc2 or something. The last "." is supposed to be for incremental changes to reduce the time between major releases. It gives users a chance to try a work-in-progress kernel that has been through at least some testing. Otherwise, why even have the fourth level of releases?
That's not even close to correct. The last "." is so bug fixes can be added to a known stable branch. The shorter RC cycle (a month or two instead of a year or two) is what was supposed to reduce the time between major releases.
My complaint isn't that they weren't added, it's that the maintainer refused to add them to the vanilla kernel [e.g. at kernel.org] and instead horded them for Gentoo-sources [even though I run gentoo I still feel this is wrong]. Eventually at the next major release they were added. So it's not that the device IDs were wrong or caused problems. It's that the developer didn't want to share them with the rest of the Linux crowd.
Or more to the point: the maintainer knew they would never be accepted into the stable branch kernel until, at the very least, they were tested in the dev branch first.
The maintainer doesn't have the final say. It's the stable team that decides in the end and they have only gotten more strict now that there are shorter dev cycles. Also, I didn't say that they did cause problems I said they could in theory cause problems and there is no way to know for sure until the new ids have been well tested. The change was quite probably safe but I'm astounded your whining that they would not throw improperly tested code right into the stable branch. I've seen simple device ID additions cause crashes. I've had them crash MY system. It's rare but it happens. That's why I update my servers with the stable branch and run my personal stuff on the more cutting edge devel kernels.
You should ask Jean-Luc Cooke about his experience trying to replace the horrible/dev/random device with one based on Fortuna. He got the same royal decreed from Ted T'so about "who owns the kernel" and who doesn't. In the end, Jean-Luc just gave up and withdrew the patches.
/dev/random has to be as hard to predict as possible. You claim it's horrible but there are whole papers on how to random generate numbers and even seasoned kernel devs have had patches refused patches because they weren't able to justify them properly.
The kernel is, for the most part, a horribly written, and poorly maintain piece of code. The maintainers are selfish ego-hording losers and have to really learn there is more people willing to contribute then just them.
Translation: They didn't let me do what I want to they are a bunch of jerks
There are people who dedicate themselves to teaching new people how to add patches to the kernel. The whole kernel newbies project and the kernel janitors project exist to provide developers who new to kernel programming an easy way to learn their way around and get patches accepted. There have been hundreds of patches in the past few months that were accepted from people who were previously unknown to kernel programming. So it really is open to others but only people willing to follow the rules. Those rules are there for a reason.
Whereas in the Linux camp, bug fixing is a royal right only a few can have. When I wanted to add device IDs for Intel NICs to the 2.6.18.2 [iirc] kernel I submitted a patch which added them. It was refused saying that they would be added in the next major release cycle. Even after I told them that they could trivially be added to the next point release they still refused. Oddly enough the maintainer, a Gentoo developer, added them to the gentoo brand of the kernel anyways.
So you tried to add the ids to the latest bug fix only branch instead of first going to the development branch and you complain that you were refused because you didn't have some sort of a "royal right"? I'm guessing if you had submitted an actual bug fix instead of extending a driver it would have been accepted. Just adding device ids is not always painless sometimes the hardware isn't exactly compatible and the addition causes unintended side affects. That policy is there for good reason.

Why would a hedge fund do that when the total value of was a combined $519 000 according to Their last financial results?
SCO owns nothing of value at this point.

You mean take the money and run then Sue for breach of contract for being fired like Dark did to Ikon
Knowing these guys there are most likely some nasty poison pills waiting in their contracts to bite anyone who fires them.
How about not having to reinstall your mouse or printer every time you unplug a USB device?

There is just no "must have" feature on Vista.
