"The 2.6 kernel is NUMA aware," said Cabaniols. Some patching was necessary, he said, but "all patches developed for the BigTux project are going into the mainstream Linux kernel and are included in standard distributions."
I was one of those persons who bought lots of CDs but then all of a sudden the prices skyrocketed and I said to hell with these bastards... Not only do they want to become rich they want to become rich just from my purchase alone!
Now they can't figure out how to stop piracy. Serves them right for being such greedy bastards. If they would make their CDs cost $10 or less instead or $20+ more people would be buying CDs.
First let me start by saying this: I am a Mexican.
Now, the problem here is corruption and I know MS knows it. Check out Miguel de Icaza's comments on this "MS & E-Mexico" agreement: HP, IBM and others were heading towards open source when all of a sudden MS enters and they are all told: sorry but MS is our champ!
Just give a couple of the people in the right places some nice ca$h deals and you've acquired yourself a nice country... same thing happened with local telephony and it will continue happening as long as we have all these power hungry clowns running this country. Not that Mexico is alone in this sector but still...
Almost every one of them never bought it from us - they bought it cheap from some big chain electronics store (HP, Compaq, Fujitsu.. you name it) with non-existing support on computers ('call the manufacturer')
I'm sorry but I disagree with you. Just because they didn't buy a PC from a small shop doesn't mean it's crap. You can't hold HP+Compaq, Fujitsu, et al. responsible for what a user buys.
These companies put out systems for regular folks who want to see digital photos from their cousins in Nevada or want to chat with their grandmothers in Japan.
Last I heard none of these were Alienware dedicated to that specific market! What is the point of shoving an extra $200 bucks down the throat of the regular user for a "next-generation" video card that they won't probably use?
And you can't blame system manufacturers since they all display what their products include (memory, cpu speed, hdd, etc.) It's not their fault that the sales drone in can't distinguish between a PC and a MAC and hence make crappy recommendations.
But then again regular people buy whatever is new. Take Windows for example. How many people buy a new version of Windows just because it's new but they don't actually assess the need.
I think you are missing the point. Quality software does not tell you what to code or if you have some MBA fellow breathing down your neck just so you can puke extra lines of code.
Just because some piece of code is Free software it doesn't automagically become quality software. Not all commercial software is crap and not all FOSS is quality software.
I think you don't know squat about standards or quality assurance. You didn't make any valid points in your attack but rather went on a rampage on how you hate to have someone tell you what to code and how FOSS is leetz!
Prove me wrong! Without going into google or other search engines out the top of your head tell me how many MBAs participated in the making of the ISO 90001 standard.
I've read usually don't offer anything other than: a list of tools and a small description of the man page + common tips like set up a firewall, patch your system, get an AV, be on the lookout.
It's not common finding books that really cover a particular subject in depth.
He is not pushing for more illegal workers... He's just trying to get them to be treated as human beings.
As you might now southern U.S. states are very mexican-unfriendly even when a U.S. company sponsors a mexican or if a mexican wants to go shopping to the U.S. you get stupid comments by immigration people like: 'how's the crop this year?'
It just shows that no matter where you are from education means everything.
Any announcements on Latin Americans being able to play in U.S. or other international servers? It seems we got stuck in limbo with only U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia being included.

Nah!
I get my pirated copies for free from my friends!
He is saying exactly what big wig CIO/CEO/C[A-Z]{2} understand...

too many to satisfy...
From the article:

Exactly!

Yes, it is. Except to file complaint you have to admit you were trying to download a "pirated audio file".
What if the users trying to download the song instead of burning it themselves? Couldn't this count as your legal backup copy?
There would be a fix by now if it where an OSS , Gnu/Linux project.
coder1: ok so how do we fix this?
coder2: hmmm...
coder3: hmmm...
coder1: hmmm...
coder2: ok then it's settled. Take the icons dump the rest.

Sad but true.
"...and leave the rest of us the fcuk alone."
Yes! I don't care if it is AMD or Intel... Leave fsck alone!
It's not dead! It's refueling!

Here's what top shows, for those of you in disbelief.

Once they convince themselves, mention that it is open source and that there's more where that came from.
;)
You just sounded like a dealer hehe

Add some marketing to the recipe...
Then they wouldn't be "white hat hackers". Probably fall into the gray area.
And that depends on your locale! In Mexico it wouldn't translate to "vaqueros".
In Mexico
"Vaqueros" = "Cowboys"
"Blue jeans" = "Pantalones de mezclilla azul"

"The question of whether this is useful or even wanted in the US still remains to be answered."
Why wouldn't you want quality standards? Or is it that just because this is not a US born organization then whatever they say is not useful in the US?
I don't think it's a matter of technical complexity but rather MS not trying to make publicity for it's #1 enemy.
Once your non geek friends start reading about Linux directly from MS they start wondering what it is and where do they get it.

At least you'll get it eventually. Anyone south of the American border will be out of luck indefinitely.

I can see an M$ patent lawyer saying:
"jeez that's a good idea... might patent it before it goes GPL"
Then let's see those cockroaches try to steal the biz away from Microsoft.
doh who else?
