Is Linux Dead?

"With some 27 percent of the market, Linux is now the second most popular operating system for servers, supplanting the decades-old operating system UNIX; Microsoft holds the top spot. "
I imagine most of these "servers" are domain controllers and the like, it's funny how they forgot to include Apache statistics, most of which I'm assuming run on *nix (is there really that large of a statistic that run Apache on Windows?)
Apache - 56.21% Microsoft - 31.68% Zeus - 2.26% iPlanet - 2.19%
Pity that our neighbors to the north rejected the invitation to place themselves under its jurisdiction
What invitation is that? To place ourselves under the US Constitution?! We've got our own Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms thank you very much. Keep your U.S. Constitution to yourself.
It's funny though, does anyone remember the broadband sales pitch a few years ago? "Move to broadband! Download streaming video! Listen to your favourite artists online!". Their whole sales pitch was that not only could you browse faster, but watch lots of video and multimedia online. Another question is what was to happen in the (off-chance) that an online audio service like NetPlay or what have you was actually successful and caught on BIG? You're still going to have a lot of people downloading music, causing just as much traffic as p2p sharing.
This is all theoretical of course, but it begs the question, what was their business plan in the first place? They promised high quality internet video and music, well.. they got it and now don't know what to do with it apparently.
One has to wonder if perhaps all this noise about broadband/cable companies wanting to move to monthly rates or moving to a metered system is discouraging a large segment of dial-up users from moving to a broadband connection. I know I certainly wouldn't be looking at getting cable or ADSL if I knew the providers were increasing rates at some point in the near future after I signed up. I think that unknown future cost would be enough to deter a lot of users.
Yes, that is correct, beginning January 2002, amortization of goodwill is no longer to be permitted. "Instead, goodwill and other intangibles will be subjected to an annual test for impairment of value. This will not only effect goodwill arising from acquisitions completed after the effective date, but will also effect any unamortized balance of goodwill."
Prior to this statement, goodwill was amortized over its useful life not to exceed forty years.
So that's why a large number of corporations seemed to be posting larger than expected losses, when they've just been overstating the value of their goodwill assets.

I'm not sure how exactly you think switching to a Microsoft server platform will improve HTML standards conformance. Standards conformance has nothing to do with the platform serving the content, but the code which generates the HTML. Aside from that, this post is grossly _off-topic_.
If you live near a university or college computer store, often times you can get a good deal on a laptop there, or else checkout some of the local, smaller dingy used computer stores While some of their laptops are often over-priced, a lot of them are quite reasonably priced, and haggling a little bit usually can't hurt.
Shaw and Rogers used to have cable (TV and Internet) customers in inter-mixed locations, for instance, Rogers serviced Toronto, while Shaw services a few suburbs surrounding Toronto (Pickering, Scarborough, Richmond Hill, etc..). Shaw also provided service to homes/business in B.C, and I possibly Alberta. Rogers also had facilities in some of these other areas that Shaw was servicing.Rogers and Shaw engaged in something of an assets swap to make their services areas more whole, giving Rogers control of Central Ontario, and Shaw control of the western provinces' cable. They are two separate companies.
Even though it's a little old, I've found Drakan to be a good game at LAN parties - Master of the Dragon is usually pretty cool. It does however require 3D acceleration.

Are we talking -40 degrees Celsius? He'd have to be from somewhere in the Northwest Territories then. I'm not sure I've ever experienced anything colder than -30C?
I'm not sure about US schools, but Canadian universites and colleges have classes on Computer security, including those that moreless teach how to compromise systems, or should I say, how to test your own systems for security holes.

I fixed that server security problem a long time ago...I just moved my Windows server from underneath the window to the rack beside the window.
That iFIRSTPOST will cost you $1.
Notice later on in the forum: "I have few more images from Presentation, but my site bandwidth is driving owner nuts already so I'll try limit it..."
Man, he's probably really pissed now.
