Living in Paris (that's "Paris, France" to you Americans), I have an account with Free.fr who, for 29.95 euros a month (about 20 quid or $9000 at current rates), provide me with 20Mbps down and 1Mbps up ADSL2+ and have been doing so for over a year. I also get TV over ADSL and a free IP phone (free calls to french landlines - ie. calling pizza hut or phoning work to tell them how ill you are from too much pizza) included in the price. There are no quotas or limits on useage.
Why do you *need* so much bandwidth? Well, they are trialling MPEG2 and MPEG4 HDTV-over-DSL and I want some of that action.
Um, he did steal $50,000 for himself and loads more for his pals. That's an income. He took the equivalent of some poor sap's job for a year and continued after he was arrested.
He stole the cash by abusing his government job. Everyone knows you only get away with that if you're at the top.
Just because netcraft is reporting www.microsoft.com running on Linux, it's unlikely that they ported IIS to it. What you're seeing is a Linux proxy; The webserver itself is still an IIS6 box running on Win32 behind Akamai's Ghost proxy/cache.
We all know that when Microsoft run UNIX, they run FreeBSD.
"Further proof that OS-X is NOT an unix OS is the fact that you can't backup HFS+ files using standard GNU tar."
GNU is not UNIX.
"Also, OS-X doesn't include simple items such as/etc/fstab and so forth."
fstab does not a UNIX make. Besides, fstab is there and useable if you want. NetInfo is used as first choice only.
OSX is as much a UNIX as Linux is, if you wish to be pedantic. Both use GNU/BSD tools on top of a kernel.
Why bother bickering over which is the most UNIX-like or UNIX-based? This isn't a pissing contest.

..a single 'make buildworld'...
How does that differ from a single 'make bzImage' in Linux?
If you have to ask, you have obviously missed the point. "make buildworld" will compile userland. You know, all the stuff in/bin,/sbin/etc and all the rest?
Whereas a "make bzImage" will compile a kernel. Whoop. This is "make buildkernel" in FreeBSD.
[troll]The Linux equivalent of "make buildworld" is "make my mummy buy me a new distro CD"[/troll]
Even if Apple were a monopoly (and they're not) then they should not expect the DoJ on their doorstep any time soon.
Why? Because being a monopoly is not illegal.
What about Microsoft and all the court cases, I hear you shout? Well, they were abusing their monopoly status and that, kids, is illegal.

Try http://www.versiontracker/ for MacOS X software updates. There is a phenomenon called "Versiontracking" where MacOS X users click on that page all day, seeing what's new and installing it immediately, even if they'll never need it.
If you use MacOS X and you don't use VersionTracker, I suggest you start.

BethMo moved over to WotC from Microsoft when she got full-time work on the Duellist. Also, the article didn't mention the purchases of Nightfall Games or Five Rings. This was, I believe, for brevity, and, frankly, would not have made a difference to the story.
"Place forest, tap for green mana. Use the green Mana to cast Channel"
...apart from casting Channel costs 2 green mana. Ideally, you'd do this with a Black Lotus for the 2 green mana and a mox/mountain for the red. The spare green mana fron the lotus is used to mean you only need to sacrifice 19 of your life to produce a 20-point fireball.
This 'Death By Cheese' was the reason Channel was banned in competitive play.
As another IT immigrant in Paris, I would like to add my comments: I came to Paris due to the fact that there is a genuine shortage of skills here. I transferred from the London office of my employer and immediately took a $14,000 pay cut, and, for that priviledge, I have to jump through the same hoops as American AC, although on a slightly easier basis due to being British.
However, I know that if I were to quit, it would be hard to find someone that could do what I do, and I'm by no means the best unix/nt/mac guy out their but all the smart French techies leave to become immigrants in London or NY.
The advantage I have is that each morning, I wake up and I'm in Paris.
