Well, thanks for pointing out a niche definition of commodity. Let me point you to a niche definition of asshole.
You missed the parent's idea completely. Good job!
Now then, if we use a general English dictionary, the definition is a little more broad: An article of trade or commerce, especially an agricultural or mining product that can be processed and resold.
Note that it said especially, not exclusively. Next?
Some people enjoy the look on people's faces when their clogged toilet flushes again. And some people enjoy the look on people's faces when they get the bill for this poopsmithery.
Ahh, he never said that water always freezes when you cool it. He merely used a sarcastic statement to point out that you are an asshole. Get it straight!
For his customers? Who is SCO going to sue? Users of a web hosting company, or the company that OWNS, OPERATES, and GENERATES PROFITS from these computers?
Your argument is a little like this situation: You're riding on a train. The train hits me. I sue you, because, well, you were on the train!
In any case, he was only doing it to save his OWN ass, not his customers, and definately not the open source community.
... USB modems cause excessive CPU "overhead"? What do you have, a processor run by two hamsters in a wheel? Get with it man! I've used USB modems, and they're just a USB serial port adapter in disguise with a modem attached. Ohh, yeah, this 56k connection is really stressing my USB bus!
Why don't you show us how USB modems cause excessive CPU "overhead"?
Honestly, until something is seriously done by the government and companies (determing a percentage that can be offshored, completely redoing the tariffs in the so-called "free trade" agreements, etc.), it's difficult to make a case for going to a college or university. To train for what? Everyone behind a desk is vulnerable to being offshored.
Not everyone behind a desk is vulnerable to being offshored. Professions like planning, public policy, and other public service professions are hiring as much as ever. You're not going to outsource your city planner position to India. Instead of getting greedy and looking for a way to get rich, maybe new graduates should look for public service jobs. It's fairly easy to network into public service -- if you go to a state university, you're almost there!
Seriously. A 4 year school is a waste if you're only interested in Networking. That is, unless, you REALLY want to understand networking. Go for Computer Engineering, or Electronic Engineering. In the near future, a CS degree will get you as far in the job market as a Communications degrees.
You are an idiot. Now then, if there is a sign that says "Lane Ends 500m Ahead", it's telling you to "Move Over Before the Lane Ends, Stupid! You've got 500m!" If you're a jerk, you'll drive the 500m, then cut someone off to get out of the lane that's ending. If you were a smart, courteous, defensive driver, you would have the foresight to think "Gee, I had better move over BEFORE the end of the lane, so I do not have to inconvienence someone who may be in my way 500m down the road."
You moderators are fucking gay as hell. This is a fucking troll. The above post wasn't a fucking troll. Why don't you stop jerking off, get your head out of your ass, and read the posts before you mod them as trolls.
Remember.. If you buy a house for $230k and the housing market in your area takes a downturn, you may find yourself OWING the bank money after you sell the house. Just like any investment, you can get hosed on housing.
Expert witnesses are not there to merely explain complicated things in layman's terms. They are there in the same way you would refer to a dictionary. An expert witness is so learned and well-versed in his field that his testimony is assumed to be truth. Most expert witnesses, in fact, do not dumb their testimony down, but use the lawyer to do so. Since your testimony is assumed to be truth, you don't want to take any chances with generalizations. If you blow any seemingly insignificant part of your testimony, you're suddenly in a lot of trobule.

Yeah, thank god the ads about terrorism and drugs will still air. I was deathly afraid I wouldn't recieve my share of unbalanced propaganda!
Just as good TO YOU. Some people can hear the difference, some people can not. You, obviously, can not. Good for you. Enjoy your music in whatever format you like. The parent, however, can tell the difference. He will enjoy his music in whatever format he likes.

This sounds like when I used to type in Apple ][ BASIC programs line for line from magazines.. I guess things really don't change much these days.

He's a PHB, he reads slashdot because they don't do anything else.
It's a pity that the English driver was designed with absolutely nothing in his mind.

What happens when plumbing jobs go offshore? We'll eventually be a country of rich corporations and unemployed citizens.
And it'll smell, from all the shit piling up due to the lack of local plumbers!
Yes, it's only you. You are the only person clever enough to come up with any way to "game" the "system". Good show!

Wrong.
What they did was acknowledge barratry. SCO couldn't even begin to sucessfully sue them for anything until their other lawsuits are decided.

A 3 year old was sent to Guantanamo Bay after mashing random numbers on a telephone and reaching 911.
Overboard a bit? Not EVERYTHING is terrorism. Shit, this post is terrorism. Shit, that last statement was terrorism. I better hide.
No, that's standard procedure for every traffic light / pedestrian indicator I've seen (US, Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, England).
Man, I hope IHBT.
You DO realize that there are countries other than the US with internet accesss...right?
You liar! C'mon, we were really hoping you'd leave for good this time.

Are wolves intelligent? It could go either way. The 1st definition of intelligence says the following:
The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge.
And the second definition says the following:
The faculty of thought and reason.
Now, can wolves reason?
