  1. Mod the above DOWN - goatsex link on Ikeya-Zhang Now Visible · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Stupid trolls, you don't think people look at the link destination?

  2. I'll add to the chorus of "This isn't New" .... on GPS Meets Agriculture for Precision Farming · · Score: 1

    In 1994 I was working as an intern for a company that was creating firmware that would do this very thing. I was debugging some code from their version 3 so I assume this had been going on for a little while now.

  3. The unemployed are allowed to collect donations .. on OddTod Laid Low by the Law · · Score: 1

    Displayed on the site is the cyberspace version of a tip jar ... the unemployed are generally allowed to accept donations. If they are acknowledging that he was getting by on tips, why bust him?

  4. It costs money... on The Web And The Olympics · · Score: 1

    ... to run the olympics. They are only banning the internet in relation to internet-only reporters and such.

    NBC is covering the olympics and will be posting results, et. al. on the internet.

  5. Microsoft provides a better value proposition... on Linux: Look before you Leap · · Score: 2

    Windows supporters still outnumber Linux supporters because Microsoft provides a better value proposition.

    I suppose if you value re-booting all of the time to keep your Micros~1 product upgraded and working.

    Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition ships with a full complement of Internet services, including Web, proxy, index, messaging, database, transaction and firewall services. With Linux, these services will soon be available as a multivendor product.

    Ah. So, my copy of linux came with all of those services for free but they don't count because they weren't created by a corporation?

    Whereas Microsoft's products are designed to work with one another and the operating system's services, users may spend a significant amount of time trying to integrate these components under Linux.

    Micros~1 products are designed to work only with other Micros~1 products. What if another company offers a product with more value/ability on the same platform, can you just dump a MS product and insert the competitors? Not without incredible pain. I can replace any product on linux with another and only have to modify a few lines in a script to do it.

    The most critical of these integrations will be security and access control.

    You must have wrote this article on the back of a napkin in a bar and call asking your pals their liquor-addled thoughts 'research'. Were you actually paid to write this? =P
