Yes, but power over AES/EBU has yet to be standardised;-)
On a serious note true "audiophiles" would often consider the equipment in a mastering studio crap and unacceptable. (For those who arn't in music recording mastering is the final stage in preperation of a recording for duplication of all kinds, and mastering studios are generally the best acoustic spaces with the best equipment that money can buy).
Perhaps it's because unlike OOo one of Gnumeric's stated aims is bug-compatability with excel (with fixed versions where appropriate).
According to the gnumeric site pivot tables should be supported, but I don't have gnumeric (or access to the work net where we have excel sheets w/ them) to confirm this.
Did you open word and see what formats it can save in? Did you confirm that copy of word was installed with all filters so you'd be able to give a valid answer?
I just did. Whilst there isn't a straight "word 97" or even a 2k or xp option, there is a "97-2003" option that would say to me works in word 97.
Some can, but if you're a competent IT department you won't have important knowledge in them (The ones I can think of that might be needed are excel (service data), and visio (network diagrams)) and most wiki's allow attachments to pages fro that reason.
As for big repositories of say PDF manuals a good old directory tree is fine: Manuals/
Manufacturer/
Model/
manual.pdf
conf-examples/
We use twiki for our internal wiki (because it has some nice features and integration with other data sources), and mediawiki everywhere else.
Show me how to write usable test cases for hundreds of peices of random hardware.
That which can be tested already is (The big one I can think of is filesystem stability).
You should at least read kernel traffic to see how much attention some of this code gets, and personally, I'm amazed at how few bugs are left, and how many of those are just badly designed hardware.

Sure there is, what about any code that is based on a licensed patent? It would be safest to only let that be seen be its development team. However all interface docs should be freely distributed internally.
As for things OSS devs can that corps can't, what about optimisation, being able to send an entire algorithm to the net, rather then hiring a consultant can be good.
That's pretty unlikely. As the BartPE site says, to use it legally you must hold a spare XP/2003 licence for the CD. And as it's able to generate the CD using only what's in BartPE (1 exe and a few text files) and the windows CD where could the infringing files come from?
It's just that unlike pretty much everything else out there Apple GUARENTEE that fsync won't return until the drive has actually written the data to disk, not just to its cache. To do this they require specific drive firmware from their vendors. In their docs they point out exactly how to stop this, it's just that mysql obviously made the decision that data integrity is more valuable then speed.
Oddly enough we're finding that as we move more away from MS software we're finding that we're buying more IBM hardware. Somewhat because we can afford it now, but mostly because once MS is removed from the situation the hardware is now the weakest link and IBM make some really solid hardware.
The only thing in there is speculation. It's doubtful that MS would get away with it for reasons that have been covered earlier (Apple's patent horde, Apple challenging the patent, etc.)
Given that when myself and some other vic's J-walked across one of the major roads in to the CBD (the one near the uni that comes over a bridge of the torrens) PEOPLE STOPPED, you'd never get this in Melbourne (or at least with a lot more tyre screech.
Do you actually run the more popular non-commercial distributions such as Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu (Ubuntu while commercially backed is free so I lump it in).
If not why not, I know many local businesses, and all those with solid tech experience seem to run debian unless they need a commercial distro for an app.
Was a neat little app a few years back for simple IP-IP VoIP that was (supposedly, never checked) well encrypted, it converted the key in to english words that you could say in your own voice to confirm that you weren't a victim of a MITM attack
As far as I can tell from the linked page they've already pulled the data off tape (or are doing it now), and are now just doing the analysis of the data.
Did you read the bit that said AUSTRALIA, even express UPS from the US usually takes ~ 1 week. And they were likely promised one but it kept being delayed.

Fair point, I guess I'm lucky to know some of the best ones going (google fatnsassy mastering for one of the not so good)

Just wait until someone blocks them with a patent they need but refuse to licence them.
All the apps keep tripping up...

Don't forget that $100 profit has to cover:
* Packaging
* Shipping
* Retail margin
And hope to recover the costs of:
* Advertising
* R & D

Given that I've just installed NT 3.51 on VMware using an IDE cdrom (as seen by the VM) that doesn't seem right.
Otherwise how will it be "clean of anything that might demand an AO rating"?

That's actually the real CES site, don't know what the backstory is though...
It's not a bug.

No they don't. Only the first gen 2.7GHz were water cooled, and when they got updated the water cooling was removed.

Oddly enough, at linux.conf.au 2005 there was a mac mini (at least one) running ubuntu hoary (along with an xbox and other oddball machines).

Maybe gentoo was still compiling

BECAUSE THE LAST SHUTTLE DISENTERGRATED
Really, did you have to ask?
How many times did you check you had your wallet with you before the time you left it at home? (keys, went to work naked etc.)
