What's the difference when MS comes out with the next version of Windows? The MS geeks will line up and fork over $100+ for shiny new boxes of Redmondware to they can be the first on their block to have it running on their computer.
Did you get it from Dell's refurb site or someone in Round Rock who has been sneaking machines out the door? The lowest price SMP capable machine that I've priced out from Dell is a Precision 450n with the minimum amount of RAM, IDE hard drives, cheapest video card, linux, etc. and it came out to be a little over $1300. To get the DVD burner & something equivalent to the low end G5, one had to get XP (DVD burners are supported under linux, ???), and it was about $1740... not much cheaper than the Apple machine.
Don't you mean moving backward? At one time everything was released as 2-song 'singles' on 7" 45rpm vinyl.
The musicians could take advantage of your ideas and release a new song every month or so to keep the fans coming back. What they don't like about this is that they would prefer that you pay the full album price for the 1 good song. Having the music available as a single song download would give them feedback that they might not like (as well as less money).
What's so special about this game that it warrants the occasional/. update story? I don't play games much, but my kids do. Is this something that they would like if they enjoyed Heavy Gear & Tribes2?
I record bands that play in the venues around town and in places within driving distance. If I'm interested in a group, I'll find out their taping policy and ask them at the show if it's ok if I record them. Lots of other people have been doing this for years. It can be a lot of fun and you get to meet some interesting people.
Sorry, this isn't about the linux community and what's 'fair'. It's about sleazeballs trying to extort $3billion from IBM. Big Blue is going to do it's best to make sure that doesn't happen. Besides, people aren't just whining that it's not fair. They are also showing where SCO is wrong on just about all their claims.
The Linux @ Work section on Forbes seems to be authored by pro-MS people. To them, linux is something only fanatics use. Unfortunately, it appears that most of what they are currently suing over was done by them before their current lawsuit happy management was in charge. It's bad when you wish Ransom Love was back in charge of Caldera/SCO/whatever they want to be called.
It's funny. Caldera gave Alan Cox an SMP machine so that he could implement SMP in Linux. Now the same company (renamed SCO) is claiming that IBM is responsible. Are they going to be suing all the scientists that work for the DOE, NSA, NASA, etc. that created Beowulf technologoy?
But from what I've observed with the legal system, a person can make any claim that they want. Proving it is another story.
Or they may have been copied verbatim from Linux into SCO's codebase. Given the management & staff turnover rate in the merger, it's certainly possible. The people who really know are probably bound by a NDA and it's closed source, so no one really knows what they're talking about. SCO can produce sanitised code for it's 'experts' to review and they would just have to take SCO's word on the origin.
Millions of customers? I would think that if they still had millions of customers, they would be making money in product sales and support. But they aren't. They aren't. The only thing that made them profitable was a Microsoft payoff. The problem is that their customers are abandoning them for cheaper & better products.
Do you think IBM just sends their giant squads of lawyers over with steel batons to beat the crap out of SCO's CEO when he looks at them the wrong way or something?
While that would certainly be enjoyable, I think what will happen is that IBM will start ticking off a list of their patents that SCO is violating.
Maybe the next linux beer hike could be near SCO headquarters? I'm sure McBride and Sontag would love a few thousand angry drunk linux coders in their town.
Sorry, even if SCO does 'win' the lawsuit, they will still lose. Nobody is going to go back to their crap once they've moved to a free *nix. If companies are paranoid about linux, they can just move to BSD. Who would be next? Sun? HP? I imagine many of the businesses with 'invalid' AIX licenses would love to be a part of a lawsuit against SCO.
Architect's speech was designed to confuse a reasonably high percentage of the viewers
Of course. All architects do that. It's one way to make people believe they are worth their fees. "Damn..I barely understood half of what he just said. He must be brilliant Excellent! How does $50 million now and the remainder of your expenses paid at the completion of the project sound?"
It seems to me that the attractive part of the license subscription to the advanced/enterprise server for some is the support/RHN access. But what if you're a shop where that's a waste? You do all the support yourself, and grab the updates from a mirror anyway and don't use RHN, but you like the fact that you're not going to have to deal with an EOL product every year. If you need to call in and get help from RH, then you can pay a fee. One of the reasons why companies want to go to linux is to get rid of the licensing manager crap & audits.
I realize that RH needs a better revenue stream, but they should for users that want to make one time purchases for the software and aren't a burden on their support staff or networks.
With this and a technics turntable. Well maybe..both sites say coming soon but the web page is dated 2001. It would probably be cheaper to have one of the vinyl pressing shops in Nashville make you a few.
A topic that was on the radio the other night was about how to spot liars. One of the tips that someone is lying is that they often give too detailed accounts of events. I couldn't help but think about that while reading his version of events. "I forget what I made.." and then rattles off a bunch of specifics. (Does he record everything down in a journal after the hours of fucking her? Who would remember exact quotes after that?) The guy makes himself sound like the Mike Hammer of the S FL restaurant business. I agree that her site is horrible, but his reads like a piece of trashy fiction. I'm guessing the judge in this case thought so too.
and no one ever makes a typo and MS software never has bugs.
I'm guessing this company is in league with snail mail spammers. At least now, they have to pay someone get a list of addresses. With this it is as easy as:
Occupant
N47.52 W121.90
Occupant
N47.52 W121.91
and so on. No thank you.

because it also helps keeps memory usage down. apps share the same library code in memory. it's also useful in that if there is a bug in a particular library, the distro organizers only have to send out a fixed version of that library - not all all the apps that happen to use that library
What would the land under Lake Mead be used for? The rest of the area is desert so what would it be good for, other than mining? As far as eliminating ecosystems, new ones are created in their place. What's wrong with that? WTF is it with people that think that things have to stay the same as it was 200-300 years ago? Were the Dutch wrong to change their enviroment in order to get more farmland?
You mean like the six hydro dams on the upper Missouri River?. Even though they create lots of power and provide lakes for recreation, the enviromentalists hate them for changing the environment. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. So you have a lake instead of a river and you get to use that potential energy for something useful. It's as if they expect things to stay the same as they were when Lewis & Clark first paddled up the river. I'd take a well engineered hydro dam over a coal fired plant anyday.
when was the last time you used a version of Emacs? XEmacs had all those things in 1994. GNU Emacs has had mouse navigation & menus for quite some time too (don't know if v21 has images or not - don't use 'em so I just don't care).

Then, they should be happy that in the end everyone in Zion is killed.
