Did the French try to become Algerian when they went to Algeria in the first place? You reap what you sow, and being a French resident (from a country that is rather more fortunate in the way its expats are treated than Algeria) who knows lots of Algerians, I'm personally very happy with the crop. I also know lots of Spanish who are very pleased with that part of their cultural heritage they inherited from the Moors, which they wouldn't have had if the Moors had happily proceeded to become Spanish. Perhaps xenophobic would have been a better choice of term than racist; but - to get back to the topic - I don't think the nuance makes any difference to the measures under discussion.
There is a free download of JBuilder but the one I tried (maybe two months ago) was completely crippled, with no database functionality whatsoever.
I remember a couple of years ago you had to buy the personal edition (it cost around 700 french francs - $100?) and it did have some database functionality. Now the free version is pretty useless, even for evaluation purposes:^(
...I'll settle for limiting free speech to source code.
The courts have got this far so please don't start confusing them. And second I wouldn't particularly worry about being banned from posting in Etruscan as long as I could still post in English, French, Icelandic, Tagalog...
Well I don't doubt your word: I've read the article again and it does not indeed state they were using Windows (nor anything else for that matter!). But you've got to admit it does its best to make you believe Windows was involved.
I guess I walked right into the "Windows vs Linux" headline trap.
You can get your email (hotmail) from anywhere, you can use Word on your buddy's computer who hasn't bought it, you can access your documents from anywhere, your photos, etc...
Wouldn't aiming at a market like this be like aiming at a market of people who watch other people's TVs?
Does Microsoft honestly think that people are going to pay to have them manage this information? Apparently they do. And I'd be surprised if they'd gone into this blindfold.
Middle Earth is in the northern hemisphere (this can be deduced even if it's not specifically stated in the book; e.g., elephants come from the south). And Middle Earth's sun sets in the West.
In 5 years, Microsoft might indeed have gone from Windows 95 to WindowsXP. What they didn't do was go from an announcement published on usenet to a fully functional GUI.
I throw CD boxes away and store the CDs (ROM or Audio) in wallets to save space, nothing else. Microsoft don't pay me rent, so I don't keep their boxes (or at least I wouldn't if ever I was stupid enough to buy one).
"You may not use the Software in connection with any site that disparages Microsoft, MSN, MSNBC, Expedia, or their products or services, infringe any intellectual property or other rights of these parties, violate any state, federal or international law, or promote racism, hatred or pornography."
In fact, the sentence is perfectly good English, but it doesn't mean what it's probably intended to mean. Parse the sentence and what do you get?
* You may not use the Software in connection with any site that disparages Microsoft, MSN, MSNBC, Expedia, or their products or services
* You may not infringe any intellectual property or other rights of these parties, violate any state, federal or international law, or promote racism, hatred or pornography.
Because of the singular forms in the second clause, its verbs logically belong to "you may not". They do NOT logically belong to "...use the Software in connection with any site that".
So what the terms say is that by accepting the EULA, you have to give up promoting porn ALTOGETHER - whether it's done with their crappy software or not!
VNC works well but is limited by the speed at which you can pump screenshots across the network. On a 100 Mb ethernet, it's pretty sluggish. I tried it because at the time I had a 1 FreeBSD machine, 1 Windoze machine, but only room for one monitor. On certain tasks the visual feedback is simply not quick enough to keep up with the user's actions.
It seems an excellently weighted group to me if its objective was to get former Apple employees talking about Apple. Do you know something about its raison d'être that I don't?
The use of justufied text became popular and it lined up better if the lines ended in a quote, rather than a period. The reasoning was aesthetic, not logical.
This contradicts the reason I heard, which is a purely practical one. Yes, this practice started with the printing press, and why it changed (I'm told) was that full stops (periods to you) and commas are the smallest characters in a font and therefore the most fragile. A comma protected on one side by a letter and on the side other by a quote was less likely to break than a comma followed by a space.
I happen to find this system more aesthetic, but it annoys the hell out of me because it's not logical and can lead to ambiguity. Logic wins. I am a translator and the English version always gets punctuated logically (whether it contains quotes or not).

We invented the word in 1908 to respond to the world shortage of tongue-twisters there was at the time.

So you're racist, right?
Or would you prefer "Girls like herself are very hard to find" ?
The word "me" is a legal object pronoun and it wasn't used in conjuntion with "I".
A nice surprice wuold be:
Yse I konw, it sometisme happzens ot me too.

Amazon: "We wasted millions on Windows"
Doesn't matter if they don't have the know-how or experience. They'll just spend 8.3 zillion dollars to hire people who do.

A security flaw in a Microsoft product???? Impossible! I'm not even going to read the article.
I....LOVE....THIS....COMPANYYYYYYYYYY!!!
When vi and emacs came out, people said, "these are going to be the tools of the 20th century!"
I'd say their prediction has finally come true.
(Yes, you're right, this is flamebait a.k.a. dogma mocking).
Or am I missing something?
Yes: we don't all live in warehouses.

In fact, the official Microslops rubberstamped translation is "Jusqu'où irez vous?" (How far will you go?)
"Take my code and do what the fuck you like with it."
"No way, that's far too restrictive for me!"

You mean feds can now not only pass laws but enforce them over the whole of the internet? He works fast does this guy Bush!
