Per server per year. They reserve the right to audit you to make sure you aren't running more servers than you licensed.
As much as I like Red Hat, I don't think this is what Stallman had in mind when he wrote the GPL. I guess technically you are free to copy any Free software components of the product as much as you like, just not the whole package.
Yes, but the 12 month End of Life is still terrible, and not viable. Hey Red Hat, how about letting us pay $75/system/year and giving us 2 years or something.
It took AOL this long to add such advanced features as "sorting email by an order other than it was recieved". Do you really think they are competant to do anything that requires thinking?
I got an email from my former alma mater, with a link that said I could go download any MS product I wanted, for free. Of course, I am no longer enrolled, but I decided to go to the link to see what it was like. Indeed, they did have a whole lot of MS software available for free download. I didn't download anything, because they had some scary looking EULA that said if I wasn't a student then they would come cut my balls off. I wonder how much the school had to pay for that service (and as a state school, I wonder how much of my tax money was wasted on MS software).
You mean like every object you can buy? Last time I checked, everything was a chemical. Better not wash those Oranges off, after all, water is a chemical!!
The reason people go with Software Assurance is because it is the cheapest alternative if you do upgrade with each OS release.
Or because, like us, we were threatened with an audit, and even though we had made an honest effort to license everything properly, it would have cost us many many hours to get together the evidence they wanted. It's basically protection money, and MS is just organized crime operating on the edge of the law.
It's the same with any method that assaults personal property rights. Guns, for example. Gun laws don't matter to the people that break laws, they only affect the legitimate users who are law abiding. DRM is a similar deal.
Yeah, it's toxic, but so is ethanol. Methanol is mostly only toxic due to secondary effects. You can get drunk on methanol and feel fine... for a while. The problem is what happens in your body once it starts breaking it down.
Methanol breaks down via alcohol dehydrogenase into formaldehyde and formate, which of course are pretty toxic. Ethanol breaks down into these things also, but the body does a much better job of breaking ethanol down more completely.
The antidote for methanol ingestion is ethanol ingestion. Really.:) The ethanol has a much higher affinity for the dehydrogenase so it prevents the body from breaking the methanol down into toxic things.
For this reason, if you drink something like ethanol denatured with methanol, you will probably not die, but only get very sick.
Also, some commercial drinking alcohols contain small amounts of methanol, which is likely why you get more of a hangover when you drink cheap liquor vs. the good stuff, you actually slightly poisoned yourself.
Well, my satellite internet is about 650ms minimum latency. Usually closer to 850ms once normal internet lags are added in. I think the satellite at over 22,000 miles is further out than any shuttle goes though, so 300-400ms round trip is probably pretty close to the latency for shuttle distances.
Of course, once you get to the moon or Mars, things get a lot more laggy.
We have water sprinklers in our server room, something about it being extremely expensive to replace them with a non-water system, and the fire code prohibits us taking them out. I did convince them to give us some halon-type hand held extinguishers.
Of course, I'd venture to say 95% of sprinklers are not triggered by smoke, or triggered globally, almost all installations I have seen have a system where a piece of metal must melt from the heat in each sprinkler head to turn it on.

This is obviously wrong, the earth is only a little more than 5000 years old.
Have you ever forgotten an important password/passphrase?

every piece of anything chemically processed

Isn't it foolish to expect Linux to be the best tool for the job, for ALL jobs?
As long as people are forced to use non-Free software to accomplish something that could be done with Free software, there is work to do.
It looks like aRts is unmaintained too.
/dev/dsp.
You don't mention the fact that you don't really need a user space sound daemon, you can just use
What don't you understand about the correlation of immoral practices by Microsoft and being a developer on Windows?
They are just rationalizing their crimes against humanity. You did the right thing.
So diesel is better than Heroin for "gassing up"?

The way XP groups multiple app windows on the task bar is another way of accomplishing pretty much the same thing, done at the OS/wm level.
Gnome does it too. I think UNIX WMs are where MS got the idea.
For these statistics, are you including people who once paid and have run out of pages, or only people with actual pages in the pagebank?
But AOL mirrors are actually the best mirror going!
I've never, in all my research and surfing time, come across one.
WTF do you think Slashdot is?
It's funny that pirated software is nicer to use.

GSM is simple, it's pronounced "jism" and it's the central focus of most bukkake videos.

Yeah, it's usually assumed symmetric unless otherwise stated.
Actually those are geometries, it's not really correct to call that resolution. Resolution is given in dpi or ppi, dots per inch, or pixels per inch.
I think they would have trouble finding people with legs that skinny.
Except around military places, in which case the "no camera" rule is taken very seriously.
