of course it is beneath them. move to a country where you weren't born for wages less that what you could be earning in the country you were born in, where all your family & friends live in. It's like saying an Indians should move to somalia because they'll get jobs there. It makes sense for an Indian to move to america to work where wages are high and but no sense the other way around. If wages were higher or equal in India as they are in america it would make more sense
Would he be interested in investing in SCO, they asked? Goldfarb wouldn't identify the executives, but says neither Chairman William Gates nor CEO Steve Ballmer were among them. He says Microsoft didn't put any money into BayStar or the SCO investment.
so if microsoft didn't put any money into it why would baystar invest in SCO.. just for the hell of it?
sounds like a dumb move to me. You don't go about sueing customers when you have disputes with them, you meet and resolve it. Real can kiss their contract goodbye when it expires
computers aren't stuck in time dude. These formats will become obsolete sooner or later. Why legislate old and obsolete formats into laws? let the market decide
you're wrong. There is nothing wrong with a monopoly leveraging itself into other markets, they just cannot use their monopoly power to bully or gain an advantage in what they do.
You seem to be suggesting that MS is barred from going into any other market at all. that is false. They can do it if they play by the rules
To microsoft windows is not a kernel, it's a product. To compete they enhance their product by adding components that makes their product attractive. Every other manufacturer does this, car companies add dvd and audio players all sorts of crazy accessories to their cars to make them sell. so why shouldn't ms?
you thought right. The guy writing the article doesn't have a clue as to the terms he is using
capitalism:
an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market
communism: 1 a : a theory advocating elimination of private property b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
2capitalizeda : a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the U.S.S.R. b : a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production c : a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably d : communist systems collectively
That's funny because it is these same companies that get owned when the exploits come out. Many companies don't patch, either through ignorance or fear. Take MDAC for example, very buggy and MS has a patch to upgrade to the latest version but I've run into companies that require a certain version of MDAC. "We specifically need this version to run. your app uses that newer version with all the great features but we certainly don't want that. we want to old one with lots of securit holes in it"
If Microsoft can focus on LOWER licensing costs and improved Jewish language support, things may change and the GATES of communication will once again
the question is what does israel want? free software or good software. Do you want microsoft software instead but don't want it because it is too expensive? or do you don't want it because it doesnt meet your requirements? Also how does ms being a monopoly affect your decision since you easily switched to another software without suffering any effects from this monopoly you are so scared of
I'm curious why it redirects to a cgi on their homepage. doesn't it pose the same security risk as the invalid url itself since you are now trusting a cgi on their homepage (what happens if it gets hacked or they get infected with the evil bug). Isn't that a security risk in of itself?
I plan to download the source right after this, but why can't it fix the bug in the code and send it to the correct webpage instead of redirecting?
sounds like spyware to me
funny if ms came out with a crappy patch like this we'ld all be ripping our hair out
I was disappointed with the word "accidental" because the misconception or FUD as you call isn't associated with this rare case.
What every developer asks is "if I include gpl in my code will I have to distribute parts of my code that doesn't use or has no relation to the gpl code I used?". The answer is yes. That's where the viral "FUD" comes from. All you have to say no to kill the fud. but if it is really YES, then it is viral. case closed.
"Originated in medival England in the 17th century, this phrase has changed in meaning completely, from the orignal shorthand denotation of "Alas! An advasary has come upon us! To the catupults!" to the modern definition of "Please grease up my penis.""
given a finite amount of time the human brain can figure out how to solve any problem. I'm sure in a couple of years no machine can beat Kaspharov. Imho computers are 100 years too early to even compete with the human brain
wouldn't it be better to let the site just not resolve or display an expired domain error until someone at microsoft figured out what was happening? btw I don't think renewing it gave him ownership of the domain. it takes a while for expired domains to be resold to give the original owner a little more time to claim it
having read the cnn and bbc review they seem to give the original matrix high marks. The impression I got at that time was that the original sucked (I liked it btw). I agree Matrix Reloaded wasn't as good when compared to the original. The whole thing looked like a music video but the crux was interesting. Neo is the 6th version of the anomaly. The core thingy where the humans lived has been destroyed numerous times already. They could have told an interesting story about the matrix with this but the movie was just one stupid and spectacular sfx after another as will probably be with revolution.
isn't it like saying the techniques to print money should be open source and available to the public because we want to know if our money is printed right? Whether it is open source or not is irrelevant. Obviously the government should have access to the source from the vendor (just like the government owns the designs to all the military aircraft it gives boeing or lockheed to build). Good software is software engineered properly. Whether it is open or not is irrelevant

I'll make more money working a "shit job" in the US than as a programmer in India

it's not the format it's the code to read the format that was buggy.
giving people free cds is like giving them free gasoline. it is almost useless to anyone without a car.

so they switched from their American Windows based overlords to the new American Java based overlords. good move
nothing. licenses are just that. many isps or webhosts reserve the right in the license to change the license anytime to anything they please.
whenever someone begins with "I think" I ask do you think or do you just don't know or are you spreading fud?

moving away from something you can't afford isn't all that revolutionary.
