    Heh. Any evidence that are are "bad, bad, bad" for you, if used properly?

    Steroids are perfectly healthy, if used properly.

  2. Re:Only one way... on Networking in the Danger Zone? · · Score: 1

    Amazing that a couple prison guards can be "the Americans".

    That's like saying that the muslims are flying airplanes into our buildings.

    Get a life.

  3. I'd do it on Networking in the Danger Zone? · · Score: 1

    If I weren't so hard-of-hearing, and getting married in a month, and had the right technical skills, I'd go down there.

    There's been what, two contractors killed/kidnapped? Out of how many thousands that are there? Those are pretty good odds. I face greater odds of death driving to work each day.

    old computers + internet + linux = cheap learning.

    The more educated you are, the more likely you are to have a higher quality of living.

    That's one example anyways.

    Graduated from www.seattleu.edu with a CS and a business degree.

    Now starting at a little over $60k programming at a place in the Seattle area. I have more experience than the average college grad though.

    Microsoft has nothing to do with Paul Allen giving money.

    We are sending messages. You know radio signals? Those don't just stop at your radio. They keep going.

  12. Re:Welcome to FOSS Novell! on Novell's Chris Stone at the MySQL Users Conference · · Score: 1

    They're not exactly new to the OSS movement.

    From Chris' bio:

    "Chris has been working with and around Open Source and Linux technology since 1997. He initiated the Open Source Review Board in 1997 to help Novell migrate services to Linux."

  16. Re:One possible scenario. on SCO Approaches Google About Linux Licenses · · Score: 1

    Settling lawsuits by buying stock in other companies is not insider trading.

    Buying stock while knowing that buying stock in the company will increase the stock price 10 fold is, however, inside trading.

    Reading comphrension, not just for breakfast anymore.

  17. Re:Why funny? on The Riches of Open Source · · Score: 1

    That's one of the dumber things I've read today.

    People who work for Microsoft depend on Microsoft for salary. They work there full-time. Relatively few people are able to work on Linux stuff full-time without someone sponsoring them, and wouldn't be able to work on projects unless they got paid for them.

  20. Re:How does 40,000 equal a million households? on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 1

    Statistics.

    It's like how they can ask a few thousand people at exit polls who they voted for, and then predict the outcome of the election in a state of a couple dozen million people.

  21. Re:You don't know what XML is for. on Gates Embraces Web Service Interoperability · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They have a lot of complex information to store inside a Word XML file. Complex information leads to a complex schema. Did your version of a 'good' XML file include version numbers, authors, previous authors, styles, number of paragraphs, number of lines, default fonts, company information, etc.? Did it have support for tracking multiple changes in the document by multiple authors?

    I think that you're complaining because there wasn't line breaks in the file or something, affecting human readability.

    People are choosing to have more stuff and make more money, rather than work less and have more leisure time.
