There are those who would disagree with you, some of whom present hard evidence to back up their claims right here on slashdot.
For example, there was one particularly interesting post I saw recently which used a variety of statistical methods to estimate the market share of the various BSDs. One of their sources was the latest netcraft report. Another was comparing the number of usenet posts pertaining to each OS, and so on.
The conclusion of the piece was that BSD assuredly is dying, not just according to Kreskin, but according to many others too.
If someone is able to locate a copy of that comment and repost it here, we might just see tarius8105 having to retract his "Geez" statement of a few minutes ago.
Oh dear. Another error, this time grammatical. On page 7 of the document they refer to Torvald's system. Either Torvalds's or Torvalds' are acceptable ways of writing what they were trying to say.
I wouldn't like to bet my company in a lawyer who is barely literate.
You shouldn't make simple spelling errors in a formal legal complaint! For a start, that document contains the phrase principle place of business. The correct spelling for that word is principal.
Looks like you went a bit over the top on that regex! What you were trying to achieve can be done in perl with m|/\*[\x00-\x7f]*?\*/|
In newer perl, this is nicely abbreviated to m|/\*\p{IsASCII}*?\*/|
In other words, you were very nearly there after step 1 on your webpage (apart from using non-greedy matching). But instead of using ".", which doesn't match newline, you should have either explicitly defined a character class or used the builtin \p{IsASCII} (the latter technique is for perl 5.8 and beyond only I think).
Probably, yes. But it could happen. I'm not going to begin to assume that we know everything there is to know about mathematics. I did say that I wasn't going to hold my breath.
I said provably, not probably. As the proof is fairly straightforward, new mathematical knowledge isn't going to change the situation. Claiming otherwise is as bizarre as claiming that Pythagoras's theorem is probably true in planar euclidian space.
In the future who knows? We could find a way to solve the halting problem and traveling sales person too. It could happen.
Actually, you're wrong on both counts.
The halting problem is provably unsolvable. And we already have a solution for the travelling salesman problem. Any teenager studying maths could come up with solution. The difficulty is in finding an algorithm with lower complexity than the naive solution so that large instances of the travelling salesman problem can be realistically solved in the time and space available to us.
Actually a terabyte of hard disk capacity is 10^12 bytes. A terabyte of physical memory is 2^40 bytes. And a terahertz clock (if it ever exists) will be 10^12 cycles per second.
Of course he does. This is hardly surprising given that he comes from Austria, the only country in the EU to have a fascist party in government. I just can't believe what a first rate jizz bucket he is.
OK..let me tell you something....since you are not a citizen, you have no right to talk about MY country
Gosh. You are probably the most truly unpleasant character I have ever encountered on/.
... just as I don't have a right to talk about yours
Oh dear. Didn't do so hot in that citizenship class, did we? I think you'll find that your right to talk about his country is enshrined in a fairly fundamental law in your adopted country of citizenship.
I earn what a US citizen should get.
There is no such quantity. You can only claim to earn what you think you deserve due to your skills or how hard you work. You can't claim that you should get a certain amount just by virtue of citizenship of a country. Especially not the US, which approximates a meritocracy more closely than most countries.
Companies dont want to pay...why pay $100,0000 when you can get "good enough" for $50,000?
You really seem to have some issues with the free market and with freedom in general. This, combined with a resentment of foreigners, suggests that you don't fit in where you're living. I think you would be more at home back in Austria where there is a thriving extreme right with real political power.
You should read the international web sites more. His latest claim in court is that MI5 wanted to pay 100k to Al-Quaeda to have them assassinate Colonel Gadafi. I heard about it on some Ozzie web site.
USENET is not well advertised by providers because it's a huge bandwidth and storage hog.
But it's virtually free for them to provide because when people are reading usenet, none of generated traffic leaves that ISP's network. Unless you are a major ISP, you tend to get charged for any external traffic that's generated.

Yes. And your point is?
1. Red Hat sues SCO and wins.
2. The damages bankrupt SCO.
3. Red Hat agrees to accept, in lieu of the cash damages, transferral of the copyrights to the original UNIX source code.
4. Red Hat dual-licences the original UNIX source, with the GPL as the new licence.
5. ???
6. You don't think I'll ruin this post with that godawful punchline, do you?
Paragraph 61 contains the nonsense phrase at is recent conference call...

Actually, there's no such thing as Solaris 5.8.
SunOS 5.8 == Solaris 2.8 == Solaris 8.

You meant: I couldn't care less.
You are an ideut.

Incorrect. HTML isn't a programming language, but it *is* a markup language.

You mean GB, don't you?
Please mod parent flamebait. Twat is the rude word.

The trouble is that, upon taking over, Alan would rename the kernel to "Coxux".
Of course he does. This is hardly surprising given that he comes from Austria, the only country in the EU to have a fascist party in government. I just can't believe what a first rate jizz bucket he is.

So why don't you fuck off back there, you cunt.
That's a load balancing cluster, fucktard.

You, sir, are a wanker.
Wrong!

It's a fundamental limitation of the ISA bus. Get a PCI sound card.
Thanks for the info. I think I'll pick a couple up next time I'm on holiday in the States.
