I do not want to use TurboLinux because, afaik, TL made some modifications to the kernel without GPLing them. They said those modifications are 'add-on' thus not GPL them.
I don't want to run a Linux with non-GPL components in it. If I do, why not W2K?:)
I might be wrong, because they might have changed the license term by now....have they?
We figured out recently that you are selling software which worths 1 billion dollar at suspiciously low price(~$30-$200).
Worse still, you also allow people downloading your software products from your website for Free! We've reason to suspect that you also involved in anti-competitive practices.
I hereby invite you and your accountants to come to congress to answer some of our questions.
Best Rgds,
P.S. Do not attempt to destroy any accounting records, we are watching you.
The major reason we like base-10 system is that we have ten fingers and we used to it. In fact having to use 12 hours(24 hours a day) and 60 minutes/seconds system is much better.
Those numbers can be divided by many integers, e.g. 12 can be divided by 2, 3, 4, 6, while 10 can only be divided by 2 and 5. The characteristic is so useful but most people don't realize. Say, we usually use 'a quarter' than '15-minute', right?
Imagine the cost of sending individual SMS messages for advertising. Those ads you've received are usually broadcast messages from companies who have business deal with your telco. I don't know about your phone, but there's always an option to turn off broadcast SMS message from business partners of your telco.
unfortunatly for us in the USA the cell phone system of Aisa is WAY better than here...
I'm not sure about US, but I'm using a cell phone talking to my friends while looking at his face. This little cute thing cost me about...US$576.
Is it too costly in term of US' standard? Are we buying stuffs by its features rather than its price? I don't know, but we all think US' electronics are more expensive with less features, but they are more reliable and with good brandname.:)
Gong = a closest term in English is 'breathing excise', this is exactly the same word 'kung' as in the popular term 'Kungfu'. Of course, Gong always refer to prolong practice which will eventually lead to ultima goal of getting harmony with the Universe. Some people would consider practising 'Gong' as a method of making themselves stronger, to fight better, etc.. In fact, there are a lots of different 'Gong' in Chinese's history.
I'm not a memeber of Fa Lun Gong, and I really not in position to speak for them, but to my best of the knowledge, their 'Gong' is strongly related to religion as the 'FaLun' is an equipment being used by the monks of Buddhism. The 'FaLun', in buddhism, is a symbol of the Universe.
FaLun Gong, thus, is a 'Gong' to practise in order to build a 'FaLun' within your own body.
It's been used in mobile phones for years. Try it with your Nokia mobile, while you're entering a name, press #, you'll see the 'abc/ABC' to the top-left of the LCD changed. When it changed to something like '=Abc', the prediction mode is on.
May be it's becoming very special when it's being visualized/animated, isn't it?:)
So, is like Ask Slashdot now the Free Legal Advice Center or what? Doesn't your company have any lawyers of your own?
May be his lawyers didn't give him satisfying answers.
E.g. Whenver we asked our lawyer about any legal issue on areas he doesn't understand. The best answer he could give is "I don't recommend you doing this". Case solved, the rest is not his problem. Isn't life easier for him(not for us of course).
May be our CEO should consider hiring someone else less defensive.

Does it run Linux ? If so, how much time would it take to compile the kernel.
Blah, we don't need no OS running a Cray.

It's an old saying. Well-written java application like JEdit and Netbeans have the degree of portability Java should have. You said Java is a moving target of your taste, while you want us to pardon the chaos from Perl 5 to Perl 6 just because you like Perl?:)
Nowaday we can still hear the echo of screaming of my colleagues when they ran Perl 5 codes on Perl 6.:)
MS plans not to have the JVM in future versions of Windows though
This will make Sun more focusing on backend Java, an area where Microsoft has lost a lot of grounds.
If they'd really want to hurt Sun, they could just make a version of JVM which is hardly up-to-date and sometime incompatible with Sun's, like they did before. Come to think of it, this plan is doing good to the industry!
One of our sales people promised that we'd have this project done for the end of June.
Our salesperson promised to complete the the project with 4 people max. Now we have 40+ dudes in a room to rush for the deadline which has been changed 7 times in the past three years. I think if we end up deliver bad codes it's our fault and we should be damned to hell while the salesperson gets credit.

No, I didn't wait for any mod. I'm really asking the question.
Thank you for the blocking script.
What is the use of protocol 11?
Would it be harmful if I just block it off?
How may I do the blocking with ipchains and iptables?
Thanks

How can we tell if some of the contestants were not the same group of persons using that binary?

If this was the case then reverse engineering it might be pretty straight forward.
Just wonder, not accusation made.

I meant video conferencing with our cellphones.
I'm not sure if it's off-topic, but I've a gut feeling that Microsoft comes to show you little kids how a big guy plays the game.
We've an exhibition in Hong Kong with Microsoft's booth surrounded by their rival companies.
Microsoft didn't bring any technical man, not much sales or marketing guys, no free gifts. However, we all lost the publicity - see it yourself why
Can you top that?

Take a short trip down to Hong Kong they're selling region Free DVD players. XD

Their theory seems so unrealistic to me.
Just this winter they pushed out J2SE 1.4, and a beta of 1.4.1 is available now
Yeah, seems that they're really taking efforts in it.
I always thought IBM's jdk 1.3 is the fastest(without any optimization) jvm around, until Sun's JDK 1.4 comes out. It's amazingly fast.
Run your apps with this new jvm and you'll see the different.
It SHOULD be VA Linux protesting against blocking of sourceforge.net by SmartFilter, rather than expecting thousands of /.ers to do the job for them.

What if a "blacklisted" site is cached on Google?
Ask, in obnoxious tone, the webmaster to remove that page.
At least someone called Bernard Shifman thinks it'd work.

I'm not totally disagree with you. In fact they took this chance very well. It's a lost-lost situation for us in China. :(
I'm not living in Beijing, but I'm sure the effect will be spread nationwide.
