The entirely experience of Internet would not be the same when they charge per bandwidth. I'd be very careful for every download, since every bit of download means money. That kills mobile Internet buiness in the past - why do they want to kill their own business?
If they really have to do this, I wish they'd allow us to the unused bandwidth to next month. However, I think it's very unlikely that would happen.
They are just recommending desktop users moving off. IBM is still selling OS/2 and actively supporting it. I worked for IBM years ago and they are very technology-oriented in a sense that they don't mind using legacy/old/obsoleted(so to say) system, as long as it fits for a particular purpose. I once assigned to 'reactivate' for inhouse development an pretty old RDBMS system on VM which has only 2 sales records since its birth(RDBMS/2 users hehe), and to my surprise it's much more powerful than any off the shelves RDBMS existed on that days.
OS/2 is sound and healthy and they still generate profit, if we count the OS/2 cashiers and ATM they are selling in bulk.
GPL license is for source code; don't agree to license, don't read source code
I thought GPL was for the distribution of source code; you can read the source code but if you don't agree with GPL don't distribute the source code and derived work outside your organization.
I found that most M$ guys I come across seem to have same view as yours. They even received memos reminding them not to view GPL stuffs. I didn't much attention because M$'s management are mostly clueless(on certain aspects). Now you bought it up viewing source code might be an issue, I gotta check. Thanks.
FSF should fight for the fact that Microsoft termed GPL/LGPL as "IPR Impairing License". Nowhere in GPL/LGPL would imply such an accusation. Unless Microsoft has any proof in their claim, they should thus remove alleged statement from their license.
It's as simple: any act of IPR impairing is a serious court case. If they've any stand they could have brought it to court. If they don't, just keep their big mouth SHUT!
Reuters target those who don't type much. Their readers would probably buy into craps like this and feed the hype with more and more VC money. Don't expect to find tech news worth reading in Reuters.
It's not rocket science. A local karaoke here actually has a system that can change your voice with preset template, including male voice to female voice. You know, it's very important for geeks group whose failed to invite female partner.:)
My friend can actually sing with beautiful female voice, while the female voice thru mine is awful - the technology doesn't work for me.:(
Umm, how can you view it if you dont download it? Damn these telepathic hackers!
Hackers in their imagination: The inside of a computer is full of virtual reality 3D graphics that the database and file system is actually a real 3D models of virtual cabinets sitting in a virtual office. The hackers broke into the computer at night with hacking tools(a virtual hammer with evil skulls on it) which put the firewall down, then he fought the cyber guards which resemble the bots in Quake. If the fortunate hacker survive the security control then he'll be inside the office and browse the virtual files inside virutal file cabinets with a virtual torch. Due to the fact that the security control recovered(respawn!) in a few minutes the hacker had to leave before taking anything.
They might think that if the files are still in the computers they shouldn't have taken them.:)
Of course they were running on unix themselves! They were locked in, they were unable to stop paying for the expensive so called unix 'experts'. They were *hoping* we could ALL find a way out TOGETER.
One of my colleague who is an UNIX guru, but has absolutely no knowledge in Microsoft, nothing really, but he decided to find a job in Microsoft. He even told the truth to the interviewer.
To our surprise he was hired at about US$75,000/year. A year later we found that he *still* has very little knowledge about Micosoft's products, and he was very holding back when we asked him what does he do in Microsoft.
So Microsoft pays US$75,000.00 a guy to do nothing? I guess not.:D
I couldn't agree more. Aye I spent as much time to install Debian(more for laptop) and I spent much more time to remove craps from a freshly installed Redhat to make it usable. Ironic isn't it?:)
dselect is already a good tool for choosing packages to install and seeing what is out there to install. Its interface could be improved somewhat
dselect is definitely not for novice. Anyone has not screwed things up in dselect? A wrong keypress would deselect whole netbase, for example. At least, not to use dselect before you realize SHIFT-X could undo careless mistakes.:)
Ok, call me loser if you like, I still think apt-get is the best.:)
really, cat hates mobile phone music. Once I change ringing music of my mobile phone at home and my cat suddenly became hostile to me. When she realized that I were not going to stop playing phone music she bited me really hard.
May be cats don't like bad music, they don't look that hostile listening to hi-fi
They switch, regardless of the defacing risk

Several hundred thousand sites seem to have moved to this [Window based]system this month, and the drop in Netscape-Enterprise is largely a result of this. Ironically, many of the sites were hacked a few days later, Newsbytes reports.
All of the sudden a pictures of lemmings jumping off a cliff materialized in front of me.
BDE through Kazaa wants to use my computer cycles? Well geez, I feel bad about getting all this great music for free... I owe somebody something... Oh alright, that's a fair exchange.
Actually the idea of paying for services with your spare bandwidth is sound. It's such a win-win situation between you and the free services provider, but your ISP will suffer. Your ISP wouldn't want everybody to use up the bandwidth! (of course music artists suffer as you've mention, but the services may not necessary be mp3 sharing, so to say)
I know this was offtopic, but the topic sucked and I wanted to post anyway.
Aye, the topic is really, really suck so I look at his sig instead: Michael Lucas lives in a haunted house in Detroit, Michigan with his wife Liz, assorted rodents...
I wouldn't want to read from those who married rodents!
Yes I heard of this. That's one reason I put it here. I am currently doing a research on the fact that some Chinese poems were made on behalf of other famous name. See the paradox here?:)
Replace the word "StarOffice" with "Redhat Linux".. why does the same logic not apply?
You've a point, but I must dismiss the myth about software development=selling boxes.
I'm currently selecting a sub-ncontractor for developing a small system from a list of vendors. Since the project cost is fixed, a linux solution would shine in comparsion with Microsoft solution, due to high licenses cost of the latter.
So what does it benefit to Linux companies like RedHat? The vendor can just download free version of Linux and develop/support on their own. Well it's a matter of business deal. Among the Linux vendor, we would give credit to those who has partnership with Redhat because my boss would think it'd be more reliable.
Do not so obessed with boxes sales. IBM is the biggest software vendor if you count the embedded system they've delivered.:)

Does anyone know of a website or anything that could perhaps show me the way out?
There it is - but that's windows of 107th floor...oops too late.

If we aren't all using PNG right now, there's no way we're gonna be using jp2
PNG is for the replacement of GIF. Comparing PNG with JPEG2000 is like comparing GIF with JPEG2.
There're actually keypad input methods. It's been very successful with Chinese, due to the increasing demand of keypad input method for mobile phone.
How about we work together with this interesting plan? Let's do a brainstorm discussion first. What is your email?
