The real question are ""how does it affect Linux ? What does Linus think about it ?" I personally don't even see these ads anymore and I think the Linux website founder is just bitter because he lost control over his creation.
OK, so I misinterpreted his usage of the "migrate" verb... I however think this guy simply whines because he became manager but didn't get high enough to get his ideas heard, nor applied...
One multibillion-dollar opportunity has come along, however, and Microsoft has missed it. It's the Internet services business. Microsoft could have created a huge new revenue stream by delivering a suite of add-on services for Windows customers:
The ability to log in to all our favorite Web sites with one password.
Spam blocking for our e-mail accounts.
Calendar sharing with colleagues and friends to schedule meetings.
Automatic address book updates for all our contacts.
A virtual hard drive on the Internet for sharing files, photos, and music with our friends and access to these files via the Internet while traveling anywhere in the world.
Synchronization of our Internet bookmarks across all our computers.
Online profiles of personal information that we could choose to share with Web sites and social networks.
Regular backup of files to a storage site on the Internet.
Regular application and system- security updates.
One-step migration of files and programs to a new computer.
No. Do it.like Safari : No passwd, the browser "remembers". Now it's more a browser than an os problem : even if the browser is supposedly embedded in the os.
Only a mailer problem.
I just used Outlook 2003 to forward an appointment as.ics to my home Mac
I also used Outlook 2003 to export my contacts as a single vcs file which Apple Address Book could read
.Mac ?
.Mac ?
NO !!! It's not an OS's business, and especially not an unsecured one's.
.Mac ?
OK, so split the service pack and send it more often.
Who'd do this ? It's Microsoft choice never to open their API, they won't do it because they own 95% of the market and then only 5% of the public, mostly people used to obtaining soft for free, would care.
Sorry but this guy wants Microsoft to produce Macs, it's too obvious, he's not credible.
If it ain't on the 'net, it ain't something I'm interested in...
Exactly the opposite of my case: I want the electronic versions of my old vinyl records, some interesting stuff that never got mainstream because it wasn't the artist purpose.
I don't listen to music because it is or not on the Net, I listen to it because I love it, some time because I ended used to listening to it...
So, yesterday they told th ehardware would be free, today, it's the software, so will this be the support, tomorrow ? If yes, then I wonder whether their business plan looks like Swiss Cheese or not.:)
Of course, but I guess you agree that the 486SX productive costs were higher than the DX's (these costs indeed consisted of a DX and laser cut) which should have costed LESS, no ?
Sony just announced they'd stop distributing new Clie outside of Japan... So, if they left the handheld market to join the Sparc community, is it in order to create servers, or what ?
I remember readinig some years ago some details about how to turn Windows NT4 Workstation into NT4 Server by switching a few registration keys. Of course, we can also think of the 486SX which was a copro impaired version of the genuine DX...
Not better : different : as I say further : Altavista Query syntax was much more powerful and advanced but this could slowen the search, hence Google success : why implement something that'll make the enngine a bit slower if only 1% of the users benefit from its extra features ? Of course, because this is Slashdot, it is considered as flamebait...
If it fire that much ammoes, it might indeed turn very HOT. But I agree, simply because I live in Switzerland and I love the idea of a protective (and not preemptive) Army.
Slashdot Mirror
OK, so I might not care about a "browser's soul"...
May I still have a decent browser, if not Mozilla, something like Safari just does it
Should have been coded
Because most readers do not keep links to stories that old...
Why do all these pictures remind me of her ?
I have got the impression that this could work with E2 as well as probably most bbcode powered fora.
Or in Quake : I use it mapped to the "Always Run" function.
Did I say otherwise or are you just trolling ?

The guy who modded me down might be an hopeless fathead...
Come on, there's hope, you can lose that lardbelly !
It's one kilogram of raw fat stored : in volume, this is more than a liter.
This is really serious, guys, you should watch this, then read this.

Use it as an ultraportable storage unit.

What does that make you ?

Angry, because we don't want to be ruled by morons.

If it's Google, it has to be cool.
No thanks : I like to enjoy things by myself and Google is nowhere near Altavista's syntactic engine.
-Cool, what's that game ?
-Ngheuuuuh ngahhh ngnu !
My point too : though I would not patent software, I'd understand that if somebody invented some really genius video compression algorithm, he could patent it :
Having the EU allowing software patenting doesn't mean it will necessarily be used to validate one-click© Amazon purchase.
Yep, they converted Byte-years into bit-year to make it look like there were more, hence the whooping x8 factor. ;)
