You gotta do what you gotta do, based on what the environment is.
(Statement - not a disclaimer: I don't program in Microsoft technology, period. Against my religion).
Back when I actively programmed on a daily basis - Pascal, C, a crapload of REXX (mostly on OS/2 - did an entire site with flatfiles), some C++, some Java; none of my interfaces were "platform-oriented"; even the Pascal stuff was ment to be ported to other platforms. Granted, that was back in the days of the BBS, but if you wanted exposure, you appealed to the masses.
Strange, but my last comment sounds eerily familiar... Perhaps I should of registered it as a trademark. But then, somebody(ies) else already did, it would seem.
Bottom line - in todays' world, it's not HOW you are programming, it's WHO you are trying to present your creation TO! Doesn't matter if it's a flat file RPG query, a Java GUI, or a frickin' DOS batch. If it gets the job done, that's fine. My problem is that most of todays' programs try to comb your hair while petting your cat - oh! you wanted me to perform the REAL function, too? Function is creative as long as it's functional.
I feer too many folx/companies/writers have forgotten/forsaken the meaning in my prior sentence.
Please keep in mind that a number of the larger US corporations do NOT pay taxes of any sort to the federal government. They just pay that $50-or-so fee a year and keep on ticking. Some pay subsidies (sp), grants, and "special designation fees", but...
Some don't even pay any state/local taxes via special exemptions that said state/local government gives them in "lieu of staying here N number of years." What's _not_ stated is that the employees of said company get reamed bothways. (If you've never done payroll, that won't make sense to you.)
Unfortunately, some of these corporations turn billions of dollars a year in profit - yes, to the happiness of shareholders, but at the expense of taxpayer. Surprisingly enough, it would seem that most of todays modern individual taxpayers don't give a damn, as long as they get their $1K-5K average.
What's more surprising is that these same taxpayers don't realize that the major corporations aren't paying a dime - in some cases, for multiple decades - in taxes.
Yes, I'm aware that the hard-core Republicans in you would say the economy would collapse if our foremost industry captains would be forced to 'pay their dues.' Makes me want to puke. Or move to Denmark or Britain. Or even Japan. Doesn't matter.
The day our (United States) corporations give like they're SUPPOSED to give is the day before the planet explodes/implodes due to the gravitional pull of the sun. Or Mars. Or the Borg. Or whatever. It'll never happen. Basatards.
Just curious, but just how big of a desk do you have that would allow you to drive a 4" RC vehicle around it? I'd kill for a desk with that much free surface area! Heh..
Could be any number of distros, since IBM supports *most* but not all of them. SuSe, Caldara, RH, and I believe Mandrake. I haven't fully read the article yet, though, so if SAIC is mainframe based the options will be SuSe or RH, if I'm not mistaken...

RIAA To Target CD-R
·
· Score: 1
Essentially a good defense atourney could argue that payment of the surcharge is de-facto entry into a contract with the RIAA, in which the customer is paying for the privlage of recording music.
Excellent point. They'd have to hit EVERY type of recordable media. Including (gasp!) cassettes. I'm dating myself a bit, but remember when you used to listen to the radio and record songs as they played in order to make your custom tape? Song got old/stale, you rerecorded. Easy as pie.
I doubt RIAA would take on the FCC in the US, as well as similiar governing bodies in other countries, and demand that they not play the songs. "Stop playing our artists! People could record the songs!" That leaves the manufacturers, and I sincerely doubt they'd successfully take on the likes of BASF and other major mfgr's either.
As somebody else said, flamebait-for-IBMers-to-come-out, but.. Of the two boxen on my desk here at work, one is WinNT, the other RH 6.2 (works for me, too lazy to update to 7.x). Add a belkin switch and two mice, stir well and bake at 325. NT for misc biz-related stuff. the Linux for most all internet-related stuff.
"Marines are the fast reaction force that goes in to places like Bosnia or Kuwait, kills people and blows shit up."
That would be your run of the mill "dumb" Marines. The "smart" ones are in SOC (Special Operations Capable) units, used by the JTSF. At times, you can't FIND these guys, much less catch them blowing something up.
One question comes to mind - is IBM in bed with a Linux distro, have IBM make thw 'distro' up themselves, or are IBM in this for hardware only? With Japan being the homeland of TurboLinux they'd seem obvious, but then don't IBM and Red Hat have something between them?
Actually, IBM has working relationships with RH, Caldera, TurboLinux, and SuSE.
Having not visited ircnet recently, would I be correct in saying that +a moded channels are incapable of having it's inhabitants sending or receiving/msgs? Something doesn't seem quite right there with the aliasing, but can't put my finger on it...
This has GOT to be a ploy by Sony. What major manufacturer would seriously state that they hope to have more units available "After the holiday season", and miss out on the frenzy?
Not to mention the blow that their stock price should receive. 500K * 200/unit = Boatload of missed revenues.
We'll end up seeing a flood of them in mid -to-late November.

Gotta love these answers. Only read half, but if this doesn't prove the humanity in the world, nothing will. Nice job, Wil.
RH 6.2, NS 4.77, can log into hotmail just fine. In fact, just did berfore I came to /. and started reading this article.

Wasn't ment as FUD - hence the "(sarcasm)" tags. Figured somebody would say it sooner or later; might as well head it off at the pass.
Most all *IX distributions do.
(sarcasm) But remember! Microsoft rules the world, and won't implement IPV6 in Win XP V2.1/e1 unless it somehow supports MS SNA Server!

Waiting 'til its too late sounds akin to Senator Conlin deciding to have his face wiped on public TV by Connie Chung. Smart move.

Methinks Neal got ahold of the HOWTO a while back, since everybody @ Ephryite (sp?) had their lappys encrypted.
