so if the UN runs the internet, I suppose that attacks against 3rd world computers will be ignored until millions of computers are slag. then when they do intervene, it will be half-hearted with the help unable to actually help, just stand around watching shit burn.
I hope he tears MS a new asshole over this. I would suspect for every one individual f*ucked by MS who actually finds incriminating evidence via other cases discovery, there are 4, 5 more out there who don't.
TCPIP is the transport method that makes P2P possible, how about the manufacturer of the ethernet card? without that, no stealing is possible. right? what about the OS? gotta have that to steal.
I am sure congress will settle this with some reasonable new laws.
I agee it won't happen, as it will cause civil unrest. oh, and we may have to face issues like, "should rich kids, and/or college students get drafted too, out of fairness?".
bring on the draft, make Bush face the public for once.
this is a chickenshit move, from a chickenshit company, led by chickenshits.
BUT...the reality is: Unix DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING from Microsoft. let them buy out every proprietary unix vendor that exists. they still won't stop free software, unix or anything else that works exceedingly better than the steaming pile of shit they call software coming from the bowels of redmond.
hell, gates is even kissing red chinese ass. what a woose.
so where do all the files get organized? and how does this help me at the command line.
"getting rid of folders" cannot mean "getting rid of directory nesting". it's obviously some marketing bullshit for those who never ever ever use a command line.
yes, the UI will suck less someday, we promise. we will unbreak the finder by removing it. or something.
So if apple is just an intel box, WHAT REASONS are there to spend the extra $500?
right now they can claim they have "superior hardware".
but when that bullshit is not available, what are they going to claim? the bitchen-ness of their tastefull on-screen rectangles over the others guys tasteless on-screen rectangles?
hey apple, good luck with all that PPC inventory. and thanks for helping me decide NOT to retire my old iMac for a new one this month. I'll guess just wait for the real future to arrive. along with everyone else.
with that future quite possibly being the past, good old FreeBSD. plus it will run on the cheaper less jobsy intels. you know, the ones that look like macs.
I was very happy when he said positive things about good old os/2. but at the same time he was telling everyone that it beat windows hands down, they should not cutover to it.
now you could say that was true and accurate information, however when you have an avalanche of these people whispering risk, I think that their influence was instrumental in their predictions becoming true. like PC Week (or some other similar rag) leaving off the "software top 10" the month that os/2 Warp was #1. and then claiming it was a space issue. all these little things add up, and I suppose hat's off to ms for being so much smarter than ibm at that time.
dvorak's a smart guy no doubt. but lost my respect many years ago. funny he should come up, he's sort of been in the "where are they now file" for some time now.
then again, the battle lines have moved on, enter (new)sco.
if you're going to fire someone (particularly company geeks who have the motive, means and access to inflict pain on your computer systems) make double sure you cut off their e-mail and network access at the same time you hand them their walking papers.'
wow, not sure what to say about this nugget of obviousness. other than.

we built this one, it's ours. get over it.
if the UN wants a big ass computer network, then start one.
what a roller coaster slashdot is. one post everyone has uptimes to be proud of, next post it's all about needing fast boot times.

go GO
catching up?
perhaps "continuing to play catch up" would have been a bit more reality-friendly.
they will NEVER catch up, because they can't come up with new ideas until someone else invents them.

Microsoft is AFRAID.

Drop single processor boxes...this is certainly one way to move that old stock, make us buy two, whether we need it or not.
personally, I think they should maybe toss in a free processor for every one paid for. they are "obsolete", right?
{Li,U}n{u,i}x
dude!!! you left our the G!
wow, if they can just hire more special effects people, obtain more technology, more computers, more graphics.
but the main issue with disney is the utter lack of talent in STORYTELLING.
but that won't be addressed, just need more pixels. that'll fix it. that and maybe some cowbell.

my quicktime crashes at about 10 seconds in every time I try to watch it.
I have an up to date Tiger on a dual G5 and Steve Jobs' keynote makes it runs JUST LIKE WINDOWS....CRASH.
fitting I guess, since my machine is a PPC and Jobs killed that too.

let me the first to coin the term "Krapintosh"
pphhhttttttttttttttt
I bet this hack gets 98% of all his traffic from the buzz created by even mentioning his latest regurgitation.
If you stop linking, they will never come. This clown's writings should suffer from the decay that only comes from having no readers.
let the sand just run out
Finally the Perl folks have gotten back one of their most important reserved words.
MS never uses strict anyway, they didn't need it.
so with the same number of servers, the load they are processing is 50-50 too, right?
.0001 .0002
Here are some official numbers from the WGAF 2005 Study of total workload being handled on the net.
Unix 85%
Windows 10%
Other 5%
HOWEVER, these numbers get funny when you factor in computing time spend running malware.
Windows outperforms Unix and others in this important category. Truly Windows has no peers when executing excrement.
Unix
Other
Windows 99.9997
These are REAL NUMBERS folks. every one of them. even the 7
yeah, no one ever thought of putting intel gizmos into a small box.

I missed the big to-do about these guys. of course these guys are actually SHIPPING something.
then again, they don't advertise as a "mac mini=alike"...very un-news worthy.
A more apt headline may have been, "PC maker builds small PC"
but that that's not news is it?
oh wait, it's like a mac mini. really. no really. stop laughing!
wow, a new vapor thing that's going to be much better than google's real thing.
I think gates is just fucking with slashdot, he merely opens his hole and it shows up here.

or maybe even the Z series X-Box
Dvorak was fabulous at trashing OS/2 in his wisdomly backhanded way. So they've lined him up for Linux now.
Linus should be proud, they are pulling out the big guns.
