Make it "go to federal ass-pounding jail for a long time" illegal to subvert the voting process, and that wouldn't happen. But of course politicians would never pass a law that made the punishment for vote tampering that hardcore.
This is exactly what I want to see in print about FSF. Yes, you can use our stuff to make money, but if you get greedy & don't share we're going to take your ass down. Any other company in the world would do the same thing, why shouldn't the FSF do the same?
...is a circa 90 something US Robotics Courier V.Everything External Modem. I'm still on dial-up at home, but this modem keeps a pretty good connection & ~200ms pings to my UT2003 server at work. I picked it up because one of the managers at work said it was broken & was just going to get inventoried out. Well I took it home in 1999, tried it out, & ended up ditching my PCI internal modem because this one was much more reliable. Anyone know how much this thing was new?
Thanks. These are nice, but they are tuned to Architectural (& they look like they do it pretty well) & I do Civil drafting. Also none of them have half the feature sets of AutoCAD. AutoLISP is extremely powerful.
I just had a 60GB DiamondMax go tits up a few days ago after a whole 5 months of use. It was bad enough that the drive died, but the pain in the ass return policy made sure that it's the last Maxtor drive I'll ever buy.
The multi-billion dollar design industry would tell them they are wrong. AutoDesk has been around for decades & Bentley's been around longer than Apple's been in business. I have about $15,000-$20,000 in (legally licensed) Design & GIS software on what amounts to a $1000 pc sitting in front of me. None of this software runs on Mac or Linux (at least on linux there are comparable programs).
For my purposes a Mac would be like a BMW pulling a gravel rake, while I'm using the $1M combine.
Not that I wouldn't mind seeing a version of AutoCAD that ran on the new G5's (drool).
If you look at it that way yes, but then you just cost yourself hundreds of thousands of dollars on design contracts that you can't work on because your (ex)IT manager is a moron.
p.s. Excel & MacPaint *cannot* take the place of AutoCAD. You're comparing rasters & vectors.

Then in that case we really need the aliens in Independence Day to attack.

Damn, an optimist on /. Now I've seen it all ;)

Oh yum, tree-rat, just what I want to eat.

It's beer, and the link works fine. Are you being proxied? I'll say it again, it does get cold in the south, just not so cold as up north.
Jaysyn
As a Floridian I have to say you're more confused than the old people south of me. BTW it does snow here once every few years, thanks.

Fuck the laptop, did you see the PCs they were selling? Good god, I didn't know you could do that with x86 hardware...
Jaysyn
So I guess someone should set up a benchmark using linux, so we know once in for all which is faster.
:D
Anybody got $5,000 for hardware so I can setup a benchmark?
Jaysyn
I take that back, apparently they aren't vapor like I thought. NASA's bought a couple...

Very nice, I bet it will scream....

The end of your post proves why the Int.Prop. system in the USA is so flawed.

Damn dude, are you trying to break a record for troll/flamebait mods today?
Oops, I spelled aggression wrong.

Yeah, I sound real angry don't I. Note the mad smiley face, a sure sign of agression. You moron.

Well, we (the people that actually make money with computers) know that's wrong now don't we.
