Simple solution.
Buy boxed copies of RedHat Linux, SuSE, Caldera, TurboLinux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and whatever else is out there. Explain to finance that there is some sort of cross-licensing arangement.
Not the same at all. It's just an administrative question of which boxes are covered to what extent by the support contract. Anything running the software outside the support contract is legal and kosher, it's just not covered by the support contract. So what, you cover the production boxes with whatever is appropriate and everything else has no worse support that if they bought the CDs from CheapBytes.
No, it's the humor that is being subtle.

3.1.2 No Boxed Set? No Problem!
Of course, not everyone purchases a Red Hat Linux boxed set. It's entirely possible to install Red Hat Linux using a CD created by another company, or even via FTP. In these cases, you may need to create one or more diskettes to get started.
The wierd part is that between any two irrational numbers, there is a rational number. And there are strictly more irrational numbers than rational numbers.
Rules of thumb, stereotypes, crude aproximations. Simplifying to cope with reality. The air temperature versus the exact momentum of each air molecule.
For silly, whatever is an almost infinite number?
Since there is a non-null intersection of the aims of NSA and Theo, and Theo does do things, there is a good argument that Theo is an agent (albeit indirect) of the NSA.
No, I cannot prove that elves haven't put backdoors into Windows.
I'm sure that a large number of people at Microsoft have viewed some of the code, but how many have examined all the code, specifically looking for backdoors? If someone found a backdoor, whoud (s)he post the code to/.?
Taking down stale news is strange?
I assume that Microsoft, not NSA, is coding Windows, so NSAKEY is Microsoft's terminology rather than NSA's.
If all the major news services were to run news stories (plural) about OpenBSD having a backdoor, then not only would the OpenBSD developers not deny it, but they would also deny it. ("If FALSE then TRUE" and "IF FALSE then FALSE" are both true;)
Of course Microsoft would be more likely to deny the existence if there was a backdoor. Proves nothing, but I don't think you will find OpenBSD claiming that they have no backdoors.
Just to throw in my 2 cents, compare a medium complicated regular expression with the same thing written in plain understandable English. Now imagine you have to write and later read a lot of them.
For documentation that actually helps, the best I've found are listing the inputs and the outputs with a brief indication of the function.
Very few and far between. Like striking gold. One small thing makes an enormous difference.
The term started, I think, with the spreadsheet. For context, imagine using a text-based spreadsheet on an 8086-based pc versus trying to get the mainframe programmers to accomplish the same thing in COBOL. "Everybody" is trying to find the next one. Lotsa luck;)
Assuming the ASM is done rationally, most of the ASM code will be slower than the equivalent C code, but the ASM subprogram will be faster because the optimizations will be done where it matters.
Helps more than a little. With Open Source you can tweak it a bit, you do tweak it a bit, you expect to tweak it a bit, you expect the results of tweaking it a bit.
It's the converse (Is that the right term?) of the price-demand during the Irish potato famine. The price of potatoes went up, and the demand went up because of less money to spend on more expensive foodstuffs.
Programming becomes more productive, so the demand for programming and programmers increases. This is in contrast to the MS model where it's easy to get a bit of something working, but difficult to impossible (and expensive) to do much. Our NT servers and workstations go down mostly for power failures, but nobody even thinks about pushing any limits.

Hehe. Where do you want to be audited today.
What I'm looking for is a good OpenBSD Desktop and Office suite.

Much cheaper if you do not need LISP.
Astroturfers run out of moderation points.
Random permutations insightful. That makes the whole mess funny.

It's a different world.
Carbolic acid is phenol. Nasty stuff. (Substitute OH for H on benzene)
I think you mean carbonic acid, the stuff that eats limestone.
Right. Let Walid's fate be that of the town the railroad bypassed.
What is the Total Cost of Ownership for deployment as workstations?
And often by Anonymous Coward.
Windows. The 50 cent operating system.
Spread the word.
Like Winmodems and Windows printers.
Imagine an Outlook worm that "protects" your documents.

I've seen some passion. Bordering on rage.
Is 10 printed?
Perl Example?
Python Example?
Watch those endpoints!

You are talking about NT 4, which isn't fair to Microsoft.
Next year we will be talking about Windows 2000, and that will also be unfair to Microsoft.
Of course W2K at 2% of 197% sounds good to me.

Hehe. Already have. lots of them, judging by the way it behaves. Maybe they forgot to take them out of the shipping version?
