Just because you don't plan on returning a product or say you'll want support doesn't mean the company isn't legally bound to offer you those services.
You did read that article, right? You'll note the distinct lack of NSA even being mentioned. Predator drones are a military project. You can point that one more to DARPA research than NSA.
True. I also can't be certain that you actually are Hentai (165906). I can't be sure NSA isn't growing plants capable of world domination, and I can't be sure that Intel doesn't rutenly replace foreign dictators with animatronic robots.
I also can't tell what the Department of Labor, Nasa, or any other government agency really does. Sure, they've got pretty offices you can go into, but is that all of it? Did they show you the sub-basement?
Having interned at NSA a number of years back, I can tell you I never saw any Ninja's training in the cafeteria.
I dunno. I can get to the ram in a crt iMac or an eMac and have it back booting in under 2 minuites. LCD-imac's a bit longer cause its freaking akward, but not much more.
Right, but you have to crack the case to do that, can't just zap it from the keyboard. Towers you can physically lock, but iMacs, eMacs, and latops have no such protection.
Close. only way to remove the OF-Password is to crack the case (which I hope you'd locked if you're worried about security on a tower), remove the ram and battery, turn on, wait for the horrible "I've got no ram, fool" sound, then put it em back in.
That has got to be one of the worst articles I've read. Certainly that I've read, posted to Slashdot. The auther said abosultely nothing at all. "Hey look, neat new stuff coming out that nobody really cares about" followed by "I've got no idea if Linux can save the hardware industry."
Here's a big shock: the hardware industry doesn't need saving. They need to make and market products useful to consumers, and to corporate clients. And thats what they do. Because consumers decided that GigE and PCI-x really don't do anything for them doesn't mean the industry is going to burn to the ground.
I'll go with gripes about Netscape 4.*'s browser, but I've only rarely had issues with the email client. It occasioanlly would lose a user directory, or the cache file of their messages under pop (had to delete and recreate a preference file), and html email that wouldn't load under the browser wouldn't work under mail, but those are little things. I guess.
Perhapse you missed the start of this thread that started by me saying how I love Communigate, and how its partly wonderful because its not from Microsoft.
On email? never. Its the lifeblood of our orginization, and there's absolutely no way I'd be willing to put in place an inferior product. And the managemnt knows this. Our IT department can comprimise on plenty of things, but email can't be one of them.
Just because I do it occasionally doesn't mean I think its the right thing for everybody to do all the time. When I speed, I'm making a value judgement between my time and the cost of a ticket (as well as other considerations). Same reason why I don't park on your lawn. Conveince of parking vs fat as ticket. Now, if there weren't those parking tickets, everybody could park on your lawn. Sound bad for you? Its also bad for me, because I just lost my great parking spot. That makes parking and speeding deregulation a falicy of compisition in my mind. Good for one person to do, bad for everybody to do.
Give the Smithsonain Institution a call. They are working on a extremly extensive media and 9/11 project. I went to thier current offerings. Very impressive.
Tried it. Our staff practially revolted at the idea of solely using web-based email instead of having a client. Its a great thing to have, but not as a replacement for a client.
You're right, Communigate isn't open source. It is, however one of the greatet things since sliced bread in terms of functionality/ease of use/stability. It runs on open source, isn't from Microsoft, works wonderfully, and isn't all that expensive.
Thats part of why its so good. J.K Rowlings does a very good job of making the charcater extremely lifelike, instead of one demensional like most children's books are.
"Most people who read Harry Potter don't read much else." Absoutely true.
"Most things that are very popular are utter crap." I can argue this one, but I'll give you it for now.
However, this does not mean that one implies the other. Being popular does not instantly brand what is poular as crap. Hating something because its popular, instead of hating it for being crap is elitest, my friend.
The way i work it, is at hom ea pirate software. I pirate quite a lot of software thatI would never buy. At work though, I'm legit. We actually won the proper numer of liscense for macromedai, adobe, and microsoft, among others. This works for me.
Different. Its the same argument against standard software piracy laws. I'f I'm not going to pay for lightwave wether I can get it free or not, then they haven't lost any money by my piracy.
Or would it really be so hard to export his Corel files into one of those formats? Just tell him to pretend he's moving to a mac, and has to use 3 different conversions to get his data to a useable form:-)

I never heard Apple bought FCP from Macromedia (would have been years ago, though. Have a source on that?

IPSec has a nice pretty front end in the Internet Connect. Its in the same spot the old VPN connection stuff was.
X11 is still a stand alone app.
Don't know the rest.
Nope. 150 person house, all macs. Well, 'cept the for the *nix servers.

Lets just say that until they do that, I'll stick with my steriotype. Now let me put down my intellimouse and go back to playing Halo on my Xbox.

Good enough for me.
Sure it will. Thry're realize how good a deal it is, like the rest of us working stiffs.

You've got your logic a bit twisted there.
"Most people who read Harry Potter don't read much else." Absoutely true.
"Most things that are very popular are utter crap."

I expect you were very lonely in high school.
Nothing wrong with acting as an oligopoly. Its actually encouraged by law. Your issue with with the intraindustry collusion.
