I think it would be a great idea if they made the shareware versions identical to the full ones, except you needed a key that you had to pay for to unlock the rest of the game.
The goal of the migration is to save money by finding alternatives to expensive proprietary licenses.
Which I can totally understand. In this case, folks, it's not about philosophy, it's about economics. The Brazilian government shouldn't have to wreck its budget because some of its members are complacent enough to stay with Microsoft forever.
The one thing I'm curious about (not morbidly curious, just curious) is how much the consulting and other migration costs are going to add up before the transition to open-source is completed.
Safari is based on the KHTML engine from KDE. See here.
I can't help but find it amusing that they laud Konqueror's "About" screen (complete with screenshot) on the front page while stating that Konqueror itself isn't completely HTML4.0-compliant and doesn't have CSS2 fully implemented.
...is that Apple needs to get their act together regarding Safari, even more so than it is already.
The number of people they have working on Safari is substantially less than what Microsoft has working on IE. Granted, the way IE is designed requires more people to begin with (it's tightly integrated of course and it is a highly sophisticated piece of software), but more developers means a better product made in a shorter amount of time, assuming their priorities aren't skewed (hint: security). Except for a difference in the level of integration with the OS, Safari is now to OS X what IE is to Windows, and Apple needs to treat it as such--a product as vital as OS X itself.
Safari always had the feel of a side project, a "just in case" plan. Well, "just in case" has arrived, and it's time for Apple to get serious.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm dripping in geek just reading this page!
If you're dripping in anything while reading Slashdot, it's either geek, foodstuffs, or that other thing.
The new desktops will indeed be branded 'G5'.
;)
Man, I couldn't be more shocked if the next version of Windows was called 2004 or 2005. What will they think of next?
...I want to know when .TXT expires. ;)
What?
low-cost, configurable Mac clones based on older motherboards from Apple.
Dude, I wonder why when I booted up my Mac it said:
APPLE ][

Dirty-joke-sense tingling.
Stop tingling, dammit.
While there are 7 chapters on Microsoft specific technologies, UNIX and Oracle rate one chapter each.
:)
Well, this is a security guide, isn't it?
Let's hope they rode it better than you-know-who.
During the 1990s, the time limits on keeping Cold War-era records began to expire.
And thus the Ministry of Truth went into overdrive, scrambling to correct everything before its final release...
de-classified documents from the Roswell military base ... contain no entries of unusual events or activity.
No, really?
"Hemorrhoid cushions Seat 4A!"
"Depends Seat 9B!"
"Ex-Lax Seat 3F!"
And if I had my way,
"Icepick lobotomies all seats except this guy!"
Mary Tyler Moore meets Marilyn Quayle. I dunno.
I read the article and didn't see TUMS mentioned anywhere.
That $13.00 will go towards the monthly fee for my DSL, so that I may continue to use Kazaa.

No one is superior to this guy.
Wouldn't it be great to haul Google out of your pocket at the bar
No. No, it wouldn't.
If Jupiter's turned into a star by then, we'll have plenty of other challenges from a radiation exposure standpoint before Europa.
...a small, strangely coffee-grinder-like device labeled "Mr. Fusion."
But they're one and the same, remember? You kill off IE, you kill off Windows!

every soldier, truck, helicopter, etc. was connected in a very integrated and dynamic network
Just need to add the black-armored bodysuits, exotic eyepieces, conspicuous tubes, deathly white complexion, and Windows networking.
You do realize that IPv6 offers something like an IP address for every square centremetre of ground on the planet, right?
If we're using those tiny-ass quantum computers, we're going to need all that and more.
Back in the good 'ol days when we all had 14.4 modems and we had to walk fifty miles in snow and ice just to pick it up.
Pfeh. We had to manually carry our packets through the snow and hand-deliver them to the other computer(s). Didn't even have "baud."
