Because the US is a democracy. We don't tolerate a bunch of bearucrats making decisions about where out money should go. Do you think your typical congresman knows much about civil engineering, yet they make decisions about building roads. They typicaly have very well informed committee staffs. Technocrats don't make good leaders.
The space program is going away because it is a big waste of money and people don't care that much about it.
Please explain why, without space exploration, the universe will end.
Perhaps you think that given the vastness of the universe there must be a she-geek out there somewhere for you, but please stop calling for my tax money to be spent on your Star Trek dreams.
I'd much rather the R&D money went to building more efficient combustion engines, better batteries, computing... Not spent sending somebody up to grow 0G tomatoes ad nauseum.
How hard is it for you Star Trek geeks to get this through your heads? There isn't going to be any manned space exploration because we have no way of getting there.
Imagine oceanic exploration without SCUBA, that's all manned space exploration can give us in any of our lifetimes. Quit wasting my tax money because you can't get Buck Rogers out of your head.
I don't understand why people still go to headhunters. Even if this mysterious honest recruitment firm did exist, they'd still be taking a lot of money that could be going to your salary
Agreed. That's why I always cut my own hair too. Why would I pay someone to do something I can do with just a pair of scissors?
Every single job I've ever had was the result of me knowing somebody who either worked for the company, or was a friend
Being a bit more serious, the situation you describe is fine for low level, commodity labor. Try hiring your friends to be your CFO or Director of R&D and see how long your company survives.
Mr Barrett's comments come two weeks after officials from China, Japan and South Korea agreed to co-operate on the development of software applications based on the free Linux computer operating system
Barrett's point wasn't about Linux. The FT just threw that angle in to get the suckers riled up, and it worked.
The FT could have said that Barrett warned against "proprietary" standards based on binary arithmatic. Note it's not the technical details of the implementation he's concerned about, its their proprietary nature.
Andy Grove delivered a very simmilar speech to European bigwigs about a decade ago and he was right.
Novell needs a new loading OS kernel to build Netware on. DOS certainly has reached it limitations with scalability and security so linux is an obvious solution.
What difference does it make what OS the loader runs under? Linux can be booted from MS-DOS, it's called loadlin.
If Novell is going to release their own distribution it would be helpfull if SCO won. That way Novell and SCO would be the only ones authorized to distribute Lunix.
How could he differentiate one album from another?

In 1995 Kenneth Walsh, a reporter for U.S. News & World Report surveyed his fellow white house correspondants on who they voted for. 50 voted D 7 voted R. 7:1.
Regardless of what your politics are, do you really think vetoing this would be a "political catastrophe"? You actually think there are people who are going to go into the voting booth in Nov 04 and say to themselves, "Gee I was going to vote for Bush, but after vetoing that media ownership bill over a year ago I'm just going to have to vote for Sharpton"

Let me get this straight, you paid $40 for something you can download for free?
RH doesn't think Linux is going to be ready for the desktop in the foreseable future.

It would be like me distributing Linux with the GPL notices removed.
