....Redmond today announced the final name of Windows codenamed Vista. In final release form it will be called DRM/OS 3. Pundits quipped that Dynamic Recursive Media 3.0 should be called Dynamic Non Recursive Media 3.0, and noted that the EULA requires the end user to send their entire music and movie collection to Bill Gates, the RIAA and MPAA.
3. Double click driver and application installs. "Fire and forget"
4. No preaching. I don't really give a rat's ass about what is free and what isn't. I care about things that work and have minimum user input to make them work. The days of $500 printer drivers have been replaced with $75/hour Linux distro experts.
5. Uniformity in how things work. This should be #1, but it's late. Currently, Google is the #1 tool that Linux admins use for tracking down errors. Why?
There is a uniformity that exists with windows that linux lacks.
Ubuntu...all the others. Of them all, SUSE has a clue.
I will be *retired* long before Linux gets a grip...if it ever does.
Most laws are written in English, but with an unintelligible layer as posing as mitigant in between.
This mitigant layer is known as Latin, and is only spoken by academics that have never had actual sex with another human being. It is also spoken by various other institutions that seek to lend credence to their arguments based solely upon the perceived acceptance of Latin as the tongue of choice by institutions of higher learning.
Yes, but Intel has a long history of chips besides the Itanic that have done well with the top down method of development (marketing).
Xeon anyone? Don't laser cut a few pins needed for SMP functionality, sell the same CPU as being better, therefore, then profit.
Opteron? Oo...how is an Opteron very much different than a regular A64...really?
All CPU makers have a marketing department that had sold the same bit under different names for different amounts of cash, with varying bits of cache and power management features and blah blah. Opterons come off the creamy spot on a wafer, regular A64s off the dregs on that same wafer...maybe with less cache or a lower clock or what have you.
Sun's problem isn't with manufacturing. It's problem is with the market. No one wants their slow yet very expensive CPU's, and no amount of (top down, bottom up) marketing will change that. There was a day when a Sparc CPU was a good thing. Now, it's just another thing in a sea of things that are a lot cheaper and no less fast than a Sparc.
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.
If anything, punishment for IT related crimes are far behind where they should be. In a lot of ways, the internet is the modern equivalent of the lawless west where there are far too many criminals and far too few deputies and effective laws put into place to deal with criminals.
Same thing in IT right now, lots of easy crimes to commit with few real repurcussions for illegal actions.
No evidence? They carted off boxes of it from his HOUSE. Photographs of him molesting a child, aged 4-6. Also included were digital copies of his photos and other *physical* evidence that appeared in the photographs such as clamps and chains...all this was gathered under due process.
Since when is convicting a child molester a witch hunt?
I guess in your version of civilization, pedos aren't put in the slam where they belong.
There are other ways to obtain nuclear energy besides seeing how well Israel could deliver it *ooh sparklies*.
They could have gotten a monitored facility from, say, France, and have any pluto the plant produces safely removed by, say, France so it couldn't be used in weapons.
I read from the court documents that the evidence collected was physical as well as digital, and that additional evidence...chains, cuffs, etcetera was collected from Steiger's home that also appeared in the photographs.

What I want out of Linux:
1.One GUI.
2. Ability to play DirectX games.
3. Double click driver and application installs. "Fire and forget"

So, when I see you walking down the street with a picket sign, I could say it's million man marching!

OMG! Good guess!
Digitial still pictures in color of Linus Torvalds, Kevin Mitnick and Bill Gates.
You are right, neither SNL nor these are funny.
"Seeing as the FDA are quite picky about making sure that there can be no errors in testing new drugs."

Use your fucking imagination.
It's similar to how they do it because they are the ones I took the idea from.
And killing Animal Rights Terrorist Activists will only cause ire amongst the Activist Advocates for Liberal Animal Rights Terrorists.
You stop when all the trees have been cut down, all the baby seals have been saved and there is peace in the middle east!
Make that animal rights terrorist, you twit.
We can manufacture bullets faster than they can manufacture destructive eco terrorists.
These people don't give two shits about animals. They just use that as a ruse in order to be destructive assholes.
Find them, tie their hands behind their backs, kneel them down and put a bullet through the backs of their skulls.
News for nards. People who mumble.

Dubya's got a gun, sure.
But he hasn't said that Iran (Israel) should be wiped off the map, either.
Exactly.
There are other ways to obtain nuclear energy besides seeing how well Israel could deliver it *ooh sparklies*.
They could have gotten a monitored facility from, say, France, and have any pluto the plant produces safely removed by, say, France so it couldn't be used in weapons.
But noooo...
Ending WW2 and saving the Japs from the Russians, all that.
Then our plans were stolen and given to Russia, and an arms race ensued.
Blah blah blah.
I voted for the guy. Not once, but twice, so don't preach at me about being mental. :)
FP was meant to be a joke...it isn't flamebait.
Why doesn't cringe every time the guys says Nucular?
Don't underestimate Israel's ability to do what they feel is neccessary to keep themselves safe.
