Its nothing compared to the 19th century when workers worked 90 hours a week and still needed 4 roomates to share a 1 bedroom apartment due to the low pay.
But of course they did not rebel in the US. If other countries rebel then the companies will move everything to the US or be %100 based in India and they can save even MORE money.
Its stabilizing. I for one would be happy to work for $25k a year doing jr programing and administration work and many senior level unix admins are happily working in Canada for the US equiliviant of 34k a year. Its the new standard and only a little more than an Indian.
Because the motivation for Diebold would be to have republicans win and republicans want only Diebold to use as voting machines because they are loyal to the party.
Bush punished Nortel for supporting Kerry while the other carriers only supported Bush. I am saying their is strong political motive.
Then Bush is a socialist. After all he has economic advisors and lets Allen Greenspan run the federal reserve. That too is economic interference by the government.
I think your being confused with government regulated businesses which socialism goes after. Its fud spread by the far right wing think tanks sponsored by corporations who would do anything not to pay their taxes.
Democrats are considered teh center-right wing in most european countries.
I have never seen monad but from what I read from other slashdotters is that its no real CLI.
Microsoft determined its impossible to have existing programs scripted from the command line so they wrote another language to invoke com objects with its own api that can be used from teh command prompt. So its going to be like python or perl except not everything is a file in windows so scripting means using teh.net/com api's to invoke objects. Nice
Real swell. Not
I guess doing a ps -aux | grep will require a few hundred lines of code.
Its all in userland so quartz acceleration will come at a performance penalty and rumor has it opengl is crippled if the other posts here are correct and it only wraps around directx. God I hate Microsoft.
I like the new interface and scriptability of adding things like RSS weather in javascript to the desktop.
Or how about the CEO being close friends to Dick Cheney and a top republican supporter while his competitors supported both parties instead?
The bush administration typically punishes those who give to the democrats and rewards those who give to the republicans. Price is irrelivant and only the lobbying effort counts to get government contracts.
Micro/macro economics teach the following. The larger the supply the less demand per unit and vice versa.
When MS went after netscape they bundled IE all over the place in order to bring the demand so low that a browser market could only exist below cost. IT was a trick that Bill Gates used.
Same is true with labor.
If your an engineering student or professional you have to compete with whoever is willing to work for the lowest price. Vice versa if the demand for qualified engineers overtakes supply wanted in the market, then the engineers dictate their salary. Now the employer decides and if you dont like it tough.
An equalibrium with supply and prices is reached when excess demand or supply leaves a market and a price point for an X amount of quantity is picked. The hope was with less engineering students and a better economy is that the demand (wages) would increase again to reasonable levels.
With the amount of money being funneled via lobbying, yes.
They will claim they are providing a "new" service for video to help promote technology yad yada.. and the politicans will buy it and think its a good thing for consumers.
.. 2 weeks ago SBC mentioned they would intentionally cripple the internet with 1000 ping times and allow only 3 or 4 sites that would run regularly. The user would have the option to pay extra money for each site they want to run optimally.
So are they going to create a seperate backbone as an excuse for this project? Think about it? They can't let just any ordinary user use the fiber backbone right? Oh well I guess you have to pay extra $$ for a less than 500 ping time for your favorite quakeserver.
If you dont like it? Then roll out your own line? Oh wait we can't... oh well.
SBC is fucking evil. They are the worst and most vehimingly opposed to any regulation at all. They are the ones who refused to light up dsl routers until state legislators deregulated them. Then afterwards they raised the rates of competing ISP and totally undercut everyone out of business. Now they are becoming a monopoly as more and more smaller ISP's go out of business.
With the republicans in office and the vast lobbying dollars you can bet they will win and get their way. Meanwhile the Koreans keep their $15 a month 100 meabyte pipes and laugh at us!
The code or the fact that you read it and understood it at plain site???
God I have some perl scripts but I am afraid to put advertise that I wrote them on my resume. That code proves to me what I never want to become a professional perl programmer if my life depended on it.

Businesses can afford it and so can the communist government. This would create wealth and more people would be able to afford it.
Also whats to stop the Chinesse and Indians from starting their own software companies and selling photoshop euqilivants for $40? They can afford that but they wont due to piracy. Why pay?
The problem with outsourcing is that more companies from India and China where %100 of their employees down to the CEO make 1/6th the amount of an American and past the costs to the consumer. Then we all lose.
I am taking economics this semester(micro & macro) so I am looking at it from a businessman's perspective.
I am downloading illegal mp3's as I type this from frostwire. Mainly because I am unemployed and broke currently. I did use Itunes previously to purchase music.
According to economists I am a thief and I know I am. Morality is great but businesses and consumers need to pick something called the price point equilibrium. Basically it deals with quantity and price and demand drives the intersection where the price is picked.
Consumers want everything for free in large quantities while businesses want to produce nothing and sell things at the highest price possible for maximum profit.
When things are expensive you can steal until the price becomes cheaper. That effects their business model and price euqilibrium in a very negative way and they have a right to their shareholders to stop us at any cost illegal and unethically.
They can't stay in business if the quantity of mp3's explodes on everyones computers since it brings down demand below the cost of producing content.
But my point is that stealing hurts profits and does not any software or music company. Sure it could increase marketshare but demand goes rock bottom as well as profit margins.
How many small software companies do you see today compared to 10 years ago? I remember $35 shareware programs being a huge part of the software industry. they are gone now due to piracy and gnu software destroying the industry. (No I am not anti FOSS but just stating a fact on that one)
RMS ran the FSF from some rented offices on campus. I wonder if he had any influence?
Its stupid and as a BSD user I get upset when I see people making gnu god like in that freesoftware and even linux could not exist without it. BSD's were free long before and possix and other free c/c++ were around when linux first came out.
I think freedom is lost when kids can't run all the kid oriented software from macosx. These are children and not software engineers.
Even for software engineering macosx is impressive and very opensource friendly. Just not all of its gnu. How much of the windows source code is free?
... then they would have a wide range of programs.
What a shame. I am tempted to write something about the gnu zealots influence but I dont want to be modded down. For those unaware Apple offered to write a special version of MacOSX and its programs for free but the MIT project turned them down because they were not free enough. Kind of odd since darwin is %100 opensource except for aqua.
The page sounds like something out of Carly Fiona's mouth whith big buzz words but no real content.
First off what is web 2.0? I never heard of it. Have I lived under a rock? Second, why is it not mentioned? Any good journalist will use a method to organize a story. Usually around what, who, and why. Keep in mind I took journalism in highschool a decade ago and forgot everything and could be wrong. But even the most technical articles describe something elementry based on who or what. The who here is what web 2.0 is?
Also what is creating a ballastic trajectory? Developers? Productivty with the software? Features?.. It doesn't make sense.

Perhaps because it rhymes with surge?

The bush administration typically punishes those who give to the democrats and rewards those who give to the republicans. Price is irrelivant and only the lobbying effort counts to get government contracts.
Its very important from an economic standpoint.

... Linus says emacs is the one true editor and people who use vi(m) are idiots.
Could this story be anymore flamebaitish?
If anyone one of us ordinary geeks mentioned anything like what Linus did we would be modded down faster then you can say goatse.cx.
Will this release fix the strange unlogical keystrokes involving the meta key bug?
But would the editor for the operating system be better?
I dont know which is scarier?

People just claimed how wonderfull sony is and the fact that most people dont care. Incredible.
Anyone going to buy their products again after the rootkit fiasco?
Stop advertising for them and its no different from slashdot running stories on Sco Openserver?
Sounds like google's summer code contest
