3) then if certain products still don't have an open source driver option threaten to get in the market
4) last resort do it yourself
I do care about freedom which is why I say Microsoft has to present something of value besides oooh look windows. But if Microsoft subsidized OLPC down to 75$ each it might be worth taking the monopolist's money. And if OLPC does take the monopolist's money, I hope the first lesson is some parts you can't view the code for because Microsoft doesn't understand sharing.
But at on par or more expensive for the windows version, I think it is just going to give countries the opportunity to make bad decisions which seem good.
You don't think that Microsoft reps will be trying to sell countries against "cutting themselves off from the predominant operating system in the world".
We don't want more outsourcing, but it is a market that is available to any country who will invest in computer education. But most of the outsourcing jobs are windows-centric. From a country point of view, why not teach children the most marketable computer skills?
It would be better if they create their own jobs, but that's still possible with Windows. Not everyone is an entrepreneur. It would be awesome if OLPC spawns startups built on open source, but I think that is harder to sell to governments than look at all the Western money they will be spending you.
Not necessarily, but if it integrates DRM or is limited like the starter edition is limited or limits the adaptability, then yes. I think countries may be worried that they will not be the next IT outsource location like India if they don't run windows, not understanding the promise that open source has. Being inspectable and learnable is a value add, Microsoft has offer something that outways those advantages.
I'd also be worried that Bill's other charitable efforts would be tied to taking the Windows version, not the Linux.
To learn how not to write code, try tutoring CS students. You'll be amazed what they come up with, but it's difficult to explain why their working solution is not the best one. It takes work, but at the end of the day there are two better programmers.
Why every company has some non competitive advantage producing code that could be : replaced with open source or opensourced? Red Hat is saying open source is a tool you use not just by finding existing open source, but open source things to garner community improvement. I try to clean up and submit my extensions, just because the project then handles the API breakage. How many admins coded their own monitoring tool before the open source ones can around. How many are still using them because they have some feature the open source ones don't. Sharing should be encouraged, and there are advantages to it.
Some of these are flaws in the specification. Like not explaining ranges or the description of a field being a URL, but the type any string. It comes down to the spec was written post hoc, and Office 2007 probably isn't run through a spec compliance test suite.
The database connection flaw may not be in Office either, because Office may force System DSNs rather than real connection strings.
And some targets are preferable to others. So empty warehouse X isn't as interesting as a shopping mall. So the randomness must fall with certain ranges of targets that will cause terror. Pattern analysis may help figure out what targets they pick randomly from based upon the above mentioned logistic, supply and idealogical concerns.
Many real world applications need databases. Almost all web applications do. Learn some SQL. I've never seen a programmer job where Databases skills were a negative.
If a player makes a 4th edition fighter will it automatically be able to fill the role of defender and no other role, or will that depend on the feats and talent choices made for that particular fighter?
Make sure to figure out what the fire prevention solution is. Overhead sprinklers are a bad idea in a server room. Also if you can avoid having any generic plumbing over your server room try to make sure that happens. These specs also give you an excuse to keep the space in the future, if they want to move the server room for some reason.
I agree with all you above points, but look at it from an editors point of view. It is very hard for something without the appropriate background to verify the correctness of a proof. Even requiring a link is not good enough, because exact duplication is copyright infringement depending on the source and notational changes are hard for a layperson to verify.
In order for these proofs to be included either: someone must start an openmath project with consistent licensing to wikipedia so the proofs can be lifted directly, or enough wikipedia users with the relevant expertise will have to volunteer to keep the proofs correct. And I'm not sure choice 2 works because of the anti-expert bent of wikipedia.
We know Microsoft has some patents involving anti-aliasing and other font rendering stuff. I would be more interested if they convinced an embedded developer, who wasn't using a GUI or printing or SMB.
I think the biggest winner in this console war is IBM. They make the chips for all three consoles. With the pretty competitive market they are selling a lot of CPU, and getting handed a lot of research dollars for die shrinks. I also think this market which is a win for IBM and a loss for attach rate.
I think this problem is solved through cluster analysis. The same way to tell if someone has multiple disjoint interests or a family is sharing an account. The goal is to find a "type" of thing you like and predict other things in that bin. Your predictions will be more accurate if you don't try to match with other people who liked Die Hard 4 and Finding Nemo, unless they only rent movies that have CGI/special effects.
I think a game is art; the same way a collage is art. You can't artistically combine art and not get art. So the creation of a game is an artistic process that results in ART.
Nobody that I noticed mentioned it yet, but Macs use samba for sharing with windows. We haven't had any problems with our Mac/Linux NFS/Samba servers, and our windows clients. But we have had problems trying to make our windows servers do NFS.
Volume two of the "Art of Computer Programming" by Knuth has tests for randomness. If the source passes the tests then it is random enough not to be overly prone to cracking by analysis. Random number theory is relatively young though. There may be attacks not yet developed.

OEMs have a lot of power if they use it

If you can find a job writing automated tests, that would be even better. Knowing how to test someone's code is an essential job skill.

I think the real answer is submit a flawed elliptic curve algorithm, to scare people away from it while the NSA studies it more.

I really carefully phrased, my question to include non-WoD White Wolf property, and nothing about them got asked.
Still hoping, but annoyed they didn't use the real question posted like normal.

We haven't had any problems with our Mac/Linux NFS/Samba servers, and our windows clients.
But we have had problems trying to make our windows servers do NFS.
I'd also like to see an exalted MMO where you play dragonblooded. Probably hard to get RIGHT, but worth trying.
What White Wolf IP will see electronic editions from CCP?

How about ISPs proxy everyone by default, and to get
you ports opened you have to take a basic net competency test?
The worst I've seen is:
2 accounts with auto-replies looping infinitely because one received a virus warning because of a forged from header.
Also annoying is when the forged from address is a mailing list and the whole list gets the virus warning.
