You talk about an MS tax, an additional $7.9 million looks good on anyone's bottom line. I wish IBM good luck with this one!
Hmmm. It can't be the license fees. $7.9 million is peanuts for any business the size of IBM.
They must be doing this to increase Linux' credibility, show SCO the finger, gain control over the core desktop, and encourage customers to buy their Linux software, all at the same time.
Not sure about Canada, but the US got where it is today by:
1. Stealing land from others. 2. Using slave labour on that land. 3. Cutting down the trees to drive the industrial revolution. 4. Employing child labour to cheaply replace slaves.
Oh my gosh, that's terrible! I mean, anyone can talk about #s 1, 2, and 4, but cutting down trees? That's a crying shame!
Where in the constitution does it saw a game is freedom of speech? Where do you liberals get off on such broad interpretations of the constitution? Free speech is exactly that speech. Don't get my wrong, I think it is just stupid to ban the GTA games because of their content, but it is defiantly not protected by the constitution.
This isn't a troll. He's raising a point.
Do you think the game encourages its players to go out and kill Haitians in real life? If it does, then its not protected speech. Otherwise, because its the CONTENT of the game, and is by the way recorded SPEECH, its protected by the first amendment.
I figure a lot of people would use that link to travel from France to Morocco, and maybe Algeria, Tunisia, and the other French-speaking African countries.
Napster proved that tens of millions of consumers were eager to download digital music from the Internet. They just weren't inclined to pay for it Bullshit. Napster didn't prove they weren't inclined to pay for it, even if people wanted to legitimately purchase music downloads, they couldn't.
Napster proved that some people who legitimately buy music want to share it by letting others download it. No one, besides the file sharing networks, have figured out how to capitalize on it yet.
I tend to think that evil lies in selfishness, rather than simply in harsh actions. Many of Saddam Hussein's actions were done to keep and strengthen his rule, at the expense of millions. Based on that, he appears to be quite selfish. Bin Laden seems somewhat idealistic. While his actions betray hatred and prejudice, he seems to be seeking revenge for others, not so much personal gain. Based on that, Saddam Hussein gives a greater appearance of selfishness, and hence evil, than Bin Laden.
One thing that I haven't seen pointed out yet here is that, per FAA regulations, airline pilots MUST retire at age 60. By the time a pilot starts earning that ~250K/year, he/she has only a few years left to work.
for this, but I think that this is a good thing, if it takes off. Sure, Windows and PC hardware are not as reliable as mainframes, but this is a potentially large market, and anything that encourages Microsoft to make Windows more reliable, and PC makers to make more reliable hardware, is a good thing.
Everything that gets written for Windows will be.Net code, which is supposed to help prevent developer errors that can lead to unsecure applications, according to Microsoft.
I hope this statement from the Internet Week article is not accurate. That would mean locking out Java and other non dotnet languages.

I don't have a compiler on this machine, but I'll wager 10 to 1 the above code will print "-1". (At least if you run it on gcc.)
I get a 0 in Visual C++ 6. However, it returns 0 even if I use --C instead of C--. I suppose that it really is undefined behavior.
Remember to intialize C.

From the Telstar 4 link, I can see that there's a Telstar 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13, but no Telstar 9 in the list. What happened with Telstar 9?
Carnegie-Mellon has a great reputation in the software field. It helps that the SEI (Software Engineering Institute is based there. If I was looking for the best education, I would look there first.
You can argue that screwups, er bugs, are understandable, but if you have a mistake in your code you've screwed up. Not all bugs are the result of a mistake in your code. The mistake could be in the requirements. The end user might call such mistakes "bugs" even if the code itself is fine.
It's certainly not stealing. After all, there are a lot of illegal and even immoral things other than stealing. I'm sure you can at least avoid calling something by the wrong name
If a programmer (or a musician) loses revenue through unauthorized copying, it's theft; who would deliberately copy something that he/she would never buy?
McBride said. "Everybody's been clamoring for the code...and we're going to show hundreds of lines of code."
So, it takes only "hundreds" of lines of code to turn a OS with the quality of a "bicycle" into one fit for the enterprise. It took me hundreds of lines just to write an AVL Binary Search Tree.

The poster just intends to roast Mandrake. Besides, "few" is a pretty fuzzy term; you can't definitely say that the statement is right or wrong.
How did it turn out? Were you able to fight the accusation?
since SCO entered the scene, Microsoft's FUD about Linux doesn't seem nearly as irritating as it once did.

actually, I should probably change my conclusion: Mono is not based on Java, so Microsoft probably likes it.
what he thought about efforts to run .Net on Linux, once at a conference. He talked about Rotor, as if it ran on Linux.
.Net on Linux.
He also said that since most companies do not run Java on Linux, he doesn't think they would use
That leads me to think that Microsoft doesn't care too much, one way or the other, about Mono.

I still can't see what's so bad about the Patriot act. It's there to protect us. Perhaps the opposition to it is a Liberal/Democrat sort of thing.
