Sorry, but I didn't find anything for 5506-D by VA Software (not in May 1999 or any other date). I didn't bother to google for it. Are you sure your link/information is correct?
OSX is the perfect unix desktop. Until Linux (with X) reaches the stabilty/intergration like OSX, it will never take over on the desktop. In fact, if OSX for x86 was ever released, just say "bye-bye Linux." There needs to be more of an effort to bring the shell and X into one. I truely feel that graphical interfacing of shell command needs to be worked on extensively (if not altogether eliminated - from a user point over view, your average use doesnt want to have to learn the shell, which has a very STEEP learning curve for joe and jane). Althought United Linux trying to address many issues, is falls short from what it is going to take to make this happen. And yes, if you truely want Linux to win the desktop war, you have to make the AOL user feel comfortable (and NO, this will not affect the power user, since the shell will still be there). When you design something that the users want/like, then the applications and support will follow.
Let's not forget the fact the jewish population in the US has a lot of political pull, as well as money. It would not be a politically viable to piss off this collection group; it could mean that you lose a lot of support.
I can picture it: The judge really had no clue what this case was about, and just figured "yeah, I guess that's ok. Who even uses computers. Oh, look. 'Golden Girls' is on."
It's clear that who ever does falsify financial records ends up doing worse that if they just reported the loses to begin with. Perhaps companies will see that there is more to lose by doing something like this (and having it exposed) than to just be honest in the first place. Do you really think that WorldCom would be filing Ch11 with loses reported? I don't. The market does not like it. Let that be a lesson in itself.
Personaly, I think the RIAA should supply the music, in full CDA format, not this lossy mp3 compression. Hell, we are doing all the work for them. Using our network resources, our systems, ripping and compressioning - and sometimes the quality isn't even good for mp3. The only way I will pay money is if it's coming off their NAPSTER servers with NO loss of quality. Why should we grind our fingers and have them reap the benefits.

Get yourself a few human brains. The storage is emense (so they say), and the retreival time is instantanious.....unlesss it has a brain fart, then you're in trouble....at least this storage you can talk the data out of it....

Don't ever ask a Yes/No question. These are the easiest to dodge.

>>Others include KDE, Gimp, gnu-darwin, GNU-savannah, and most of the French and German linux sites.
KDE doesn't look like they are down due to a protest. Perhaps someone should inform them.

I wonder if this could be applied to medial waste, too.
