yeah, if we had Gore in office then we would be relying on oil from the Amazon Basin. Gore and his dad own quite a bit of stock in companies interested in drilling there. Oh, well noone is perfect.
Something tells me that if your 12-year-old's school has an "amazing" iMac network, it probably is not one of the poorest in the nation. But hey who knows, it might be.
I did vote him in. I neither manipulated votes or miscounted ballots. You got a 2 on this post while the man you replied to got a zero. Hello, were you even following the election? Gore made himself into an ass during the electional proceedings. Hell, even Gore was going to "manipulate" the counts by counting improperly punched ballots.
I have to agree with the rule of law and not rule of the people in this case. Bush won by the law as it stood. If the law changes by the set precedents, thats fine. I do feel sorry for the people who misvoted in Florida, because their voice was not heard. However, I do not blame this on the President. I blame this on the citizens of Florida who did not stop and take the time necessary to study the ballot and how the ballot punching was to be performed. Mod me down, I don't care. Karma is meant to be burnt on this board apparently. Go against the liberal thinking even a little and you get moderated back to the stone age.
For WinNT 4 you could use software from Citrix that allowed for thin clients. With Win2000 and beyond that functionality is incorporated, as long as your thin client is running a minimal win32 setup. With Citrix, which had support from Microsoft you can run it on all Win3.x and up, DOS, Mac, and *nix. Not a dream, a reality in the Windows world.
I never thought about even using cd's to store the tape backup and then play them back. I just had loaded them through the cassete player and then loaded those into an emulator. Another thing can you post the guys address who sells the refurb tools.
After reading the other replies I'm glad my highschool wasn't like that. Sure we had teachers who were computer illiterate, but the computer course teachers knew their stuff. Hell the sysadmin was also on top of things. The sysadmin and programming teacher let me and a few friends do independent study of C++, while the rest of the class was clunking on QBasic. Granted, QBasic was/is old, the teacher knew C/C++ but taught the students the basics of structured programming with QBasic. "Goto is a bad thing, most of the time."
Someone said something about tech teams, well at my old high school there were two guys, me and one of my friends. The sysadmin had to not only cover the highschool but every other school in our district, so he pretty much left the highschool in our hands. We computer techs pretty much had a pass out of every class if we wanted it. We were also given pretty much free reign over the highschool webserver. We had the only linux based web server(for educational purposes) within 50 miles. Those were the good old days when we could play frisbee with cds down the main hall, and the principal would just say hi.
He doesn't live there any more. Moved away to college and didn't come back. Don't blame him. I don't plan on going back there from college. At least not right away.
If I remember correctly OS/2 was a IBM-Microsoft partnership project. Microsoft was ready to throw everything into OS/2, however fate stepped in apparently. Microsoft was half-assedly working on Win3.0 when two software engineers got all of Win3.0 to run in protected mode. They showed this to BillG, and he said fine ship it. Microsoft "said" that Win3.0 was a development enviroment for OS/2. When Win3.0 took off IBM got pissed off and IBM-Microsoft seperated ways on OS/2. IBM continued developemnt on it and released it as OS/2. Microsoft continued its developement and called it WinNT.
I don't know where you got your information on when students in the US first start using logarithms, but for me it was my sophmore year of high school during algebra II. We had used logs before but hadn't really developed any understanding until then. As far as calculus I didn't take calculus until my freshman year of college. For the placement exam, logarithms were pretty much the only thing I used to solve the problems. They are so handy in simplifying exponentional functions.
What do you get when you integrate (1/cabin)?
Natural Log Cabin, lame math joke from my Calc II prof.
actually since there is a possiblity that all 40 possible locations do not have code, a 2 instruction program for example. The number actually increases on the programs available for it.

Microsoft and the GPL

· Score: 1
There is nothing in the GPL that says corporations can't use GPL'd code. However if a corporation wants to use that code in a project it must release that projects code as well. This is alright if thats what the company wants but if they want to keep the code proprietary they can't really touch the gpl'd code.
You know something, you are right. There are no major faults in their OS. But then again a monopoly such as Apple, can make the hardware and the software work hand in hand, unlike the boys in Redmond. Why oh why did they have to reverse engineer the IBM pc's bios.
I'm for a comparison but this is out of line. They say that the Mac's install is easier, and it is. But when the Mac only has to detect and recognize standard Mac components, of course its going to trounce Win2k which is meant to run on loads of more hardware. And I know some are saying wait till it gets ported over because of Darwin. Well when it gets ported and it still installs as easily as the Mac version let me know.

I was thinking the Chronicles series would be a good set of books to do a movie on. Out of all the AD&D campaign fields they describe in books the lands of Krynn, are the best in my opinion.
They had news reports of 64bit windows being shown at the same time as the Linux counterparts, at the Merced unveiling. At the unveiling, I'd have to say that they are not that far behind, if they are even behind at all
Honestly, you point out that when Microsoft is faced with competition they crush it, isn't that the point of competition. Its a kill them before they kill you kind of thing. Is Microsoft supposed to sit back and let the young upstart overthrow their power? If the answer is yes its not competion its a surrender.
Competition is good for the consumer, its just that the competitors need to learn how to fight a bit harder.
Does Linus know? So how long before Linux dies. Well lets see *nix has been around for about 20 years, so far and shows no sign of stopping, so the Linux variant will probably be around for awhile still.
You read it differently than I meant it. Yes they "can" use GPL'd code but their not going to because they have to give away the source to the program that used the code. Nowhere did I intend to say that if they used GPL'd code would their entire codebase be GPL'd

Xenix. MS-Unix released by SCO. It wasn't bad in its day. The problem is finding it now. Oh well.

Why do that, if you are running Win98 or later just through in both cards if you can, and use the built in multiple monitor support.
