Obviously you know little of art. The "form" of the art, in this case, is theatre. Specifically, "Guerilla Street Theatre". The object of such theatre is to surprise the audience through strange use of venue or subject matter. Ideally, the 'audience' is never sure if what they are witnessing is "real" or simply an act.
Surely you can see the difference between the Guerilla Street Theatre and some guy standing (sitting?) in line for a movie.
Art should make you think and feel. obviously you've thought about this, and you feel strongly enough to comment about it. This "non-art" has certianly had an effect on you. kudos to the artist.
Meh, slow night at work. Besides, the "artist" in this case didn't even get me to comment, it was the submitter (Well, technically, I suppose it was you, since I was responding to your comment:)).
What about some recent NT version? Since the Xbox 2 is apparently heavily modified windows on PPC, there's a chance (however slight) MS could release Windows for PPC again.
Or maybe someone could get ahold of the Xbox 2 dev kits, so we can all run Xbox 2 games on our Mac:)
As Sun hasn't been completely forthcoming in exactly what kind of license Solaris is going to be released under, we still don't know how truly "open" Solaris will be. Just as I can't take GPL'd code and incorporate it into my BSD project, Sun may not allow me to take their code, and incorporate it into my GPL'd project.
What's a antivirus company want with a backup company?
Veritas isn't a "backup" company. They provide enterprise storage solutions. I bet Veritas File System (VxFS) and Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) provide them with much more revenue then BackupExec and NetBackup.
I wonder what sort of effect (if any) this will have on HP's recent decision to scrap the integration of Tru64 clustering and volume management into HP-UX, and license Veritas products to bundle instead.
I tried FreeBSD. It had GNOME and could run Linux binaries, but was different from Linux. Eventually I said forget it. I would go back to Linux instead of running this clone.
FreeBSD is a clone of Linux? If you'd actually USED FreeBSD you'd see it's much different than Linux. You might also have discovered BSD is much older than Linux.
EA pulled off an exclusive licensing deal like this with Porsche. That's why you can't drive cars named "Porsche" in Gran Turismo. They have some imaginary model that matches them in specs, but they don't look much like a real 911.
Actually, the "imaginary model" in GT is a Ruf, and it's not imaginary at all. Ruf "enhances" stock Porsche's, and resells them. I think they change so much during the conversion that the car is technically no longer a Porsche.
Don't look much like a real 911? Does to me. Well, as much like a Porsche as a Ruf does, anyway.
I'd never heard of that EA exclusive license for Porsche. If it's true, that's unfortunate.
I can jump on Battle Net and get my Starcraft fix in any time of the week and there are always lots of games (although more eastern hemisphere guys are on when it's after midnight in the states)--and that game is almost seven years old! This is because there are lots of people who like to play. Compare that to a Mac game that might sell a few hundred thousand units. The numbers just aren't there.
You DO realize Starcraft (and all Blizzard games) is available for the Mac, right? You could be playing against Mac gamers every time you log on to battle.net, for all you know.
He knew it was going to be registered, if I went out and registered 'longhorn.co.uk' or something , then i'd expect to get taken to court. I appreciate that's a bad example though, before any one starts jumping up and down:)
Actually, I doubt you would be taken to court, or even approached by Microsoft at all. MS doesn't register their code-names for products (Windows ME a possible exception - the code-name was Millennium, they decided to stick with it for some reason). One reason is possibly due to their choice of using the names of cities as code names (Whistler, Longhorn, Blackcomb, Memphis, Cairo, Chicago, etc). Another is that they're just code names, not the name of shipping products.
Now, if you registered WindowsMedia.co.uk, they might come after you..:)
So, suppose you could buy a less expensive computer that didn't have the nice industrial design, but did run OS X. Also, it had a better warranty and better support than Apple gives. Yes, this would cause me to drop Apple like a hot potato. I have only used Macintoshes except during the time that Power Computing was in business. Back then, I bought Power Computing for me, and for other Macs at my company.
Except IBM would be "porting" it to POWER-based machines, not commodity x86 hardware. I don't know what the pricing on IBM's POWER workstations is, but I've a feeling it's a lot more than x86 AND Macintosh hardware.
It actually sounds like the plant was pretty close to being shut-down. This link mentions the plant had ceased active production in the early 80s. I think the true problem is Union Carbide should've done a better job shutting it down, and cleaning up after itself. 6 safety systems failed, mostly because they had fallen into disrepair.
I know exactly where my e-mail is stored on my computer.
When I used Outlook Express, I knew exactly where my email was stored (it varied between Windows & IE releases, but was relatively easy to find). I use Outlook at work, and I know where my mail is stored too (If you don't, just search for a.PST file). Conversely, I'm not sure where Thunderbird stores email by default.
As for migrating from one PC to another, all you had to do was copy the mail store (which, unfortunately, you couldn't find) to the other machine, and then Import it into the new mail store (Copying it to the mail store might've worked also). And if you use Outlook, it exports to many different formats.
Your ignorance of how Outlook Express stores email should hardly be considered an advantage for Thunderbird.
No, he's saying that a Canadian dollar in Canada is roughly equivalent to a US dollar in the US. When you factor in wages, cost of living, etc, it's pretty similar.
I live in Canada, and work in the US. Many things are priced about the same (before you add on tax) in both countries. Also, the wages in Canada are typically lower than in the US, so we have to strech our dollar further.
Of course one would rather have 10 million US dollars over 10 million Canadian dollars. But, how're you coming into that money? It's not very easy to compare dollars to dollars - there's many external factors involved.
When in 10 years time, all games require an on-line presence for gaming, and people are used to it, the cracking will be a whole lot less, and people will still be playing games.
More likely the cracking will be a whole lot more sophisticated, and people will still be playing games illegally.

If we are going this far with /, where are the Boobies links?
I'd join for boobie links.
Art? When did camping out on the street like a bum become considered an art form?
will apple every allow it? hahaah.. maybe you can run osx & os9.. but you can bet they'll restrict it from running anything else..
You mean just like they restrict you from running Linux, BSD, and BeOS right now? Oh wait...
no reason to be running some aged NT version

Actually, they had it twice... Alpha AND PA-RISC.

Land Rover, Volvo, Jaguar and Aston Martin are all owned by Ford. GM isn't as good an example, but they do own Saab and Hummer.
And Opel, Vauxhal, Holden.. as well as a large stake in several other automotive companies..

Of course, when you're a Canadian making US $ like me, it makes a huge difference.. :(
Damn your falling dollar, America..
I think it's great that our government is trying to save your ears from having to listen to that crap..
