No shit! I just installed it. None of the apps are running, but Task Manager's Processes tab shows an soffice.exe process with 32,768K allocated. How considerate. It's by far the largest allocation on the system and I don't see anything obviously hogging memory for MSOffice, which is also installed.

I bet this is standard practice for any logo program
To avoid Nimda you didn't even have to be close to up-to-date on patches. People just don't try. The vulnerability that made Code Red possible had been patched over a month before the first outbreak and Microsoft heavily publicised both the bug and the patch, it got press coverage, and still people didn't apply it. To this day there are people running Outlook 98 and 2000 without the more than year old Outlook Security Update that stops all the mass-mailers and other problems.
Too many people out there are just too lazy or stupid.
It's imperative that our response to this be overwhelming and that it scare the living crap out of the rest of the world. Other governments need to know that they don't want these people operating from their space.
But what really scares me now is how easy it was for them to do (at least) 4 coordinated hijackings. It's been many years since there was a hijacking in the US. Airport security is going to be getting a lot more imposing and inconvenient in the coming days.
Caldera, you might remember, was funded by the great Ray Noorda, founder of Novell. The plan was to use Linux and, later on, what was left of DR-DOS, to crush Noorda's great white whale, Microsoft. They got a legal settlement on DOS, but it didn't do them any good.
I find it's very common for people writing Javascript (or maybe just cutting and pasting) to refer to it as Java. To this day there's incredible confusion over the names.
They put this at the end of the story:
>p> Microsoft continued to send out versions of Windows XP. Three weeks ago, Kodak got the latest, numbered "build 2481." Kodak engineers say this version has a new, simpler way to launch photo software after a camera is plugged in. Instead of a nine-click process of setting non-Microsoft photo software as the default, it lists competitors' programs alphabetically in a pop-up box, along with Microsoft's.
It isn't all they want, Kodak engineers say, but it's a big improvement. Instead of a roadblock, "it's just a speed bump," Mr. Gerskovich says.
IOW, later builds address Kodak's issues. Amazing that the WSJ chose to bury this fact.
>>OK, how stupid do you have to be to go out trust hardware reviews you get on a website that on the next page offers to sell you that hardware?
There's a Penguin Computing ad at the top of this page Does that mean I shouldn't trust Linux informtion on/.? (Not that I do...)
Wake up and take a look at the world you're in. It's no different from ZD.

OS X on x86?

For at least 10 years there are recurring stories about Apple porting their software to x86. They haven't ever done it and they never will. It's obvious that Steve Jobs wants to be the only one selling hardware for his software.
Even if they wanted to do it, there would be large technical problems, with endianness (byte ordering) at the top of the list. All Mac software is big-endian, all x86s are only little-endian. Yes, there are systems like Linux that work on both PPC and x86, but PPC is bi-endian.

That's because the topic name was changed. It originally said "Bush" and then they changed the topic to "Bush Administration"
You're absolutely right, the /. Gods changed it without noting the change.
Bucha cowards.
All these same things were said about the Pentium when it came out. All are also unimportant in a server.

Tivo loses big money. Maybe they'll be profitable some day, but their losses are increasing.
The CLI, the basic API of .NET, is an open standard, as is C#. See http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/MEMENTO/tc39.htm
If you use Kodak's software you don't use Microsoft's, and therefore you don't pay Microsoft. Use a little common sense when you read this.

Screw this. I want Blake's 7 and I want it now!
