Huh? There were always other companies selling cars during this period. Oldsmobile is the first one that comes to mind (R E Olds even had the assembly line before Ford).
In 1905, for example, the Olds Curved Dash Runabout sold 6,500 units.
Ford sold 10,000 Model T's in in the first year of production (1909). Those two figures are very close to each other: 6,500 vs 100,000 (just comparing 2 years). I'm not even counting the many other companies operating at the time.
Thank you for the Award. It is kind of tricky. Depending on the "mood o' the mod", the posts will either go to a +5 Funny or -1 Troll. There does not seem to be anything in between, and there is nothing in such a message to determine if it will go +5 or -1.
After a while, Steve gets up and starts to look around. He looks at the framed dollar bill on the wall and notes that the bar opened in 1987 (long after his Macintosh computer came out.
He goes over to the windows, and verifies that they can be opened and closed, and also minimized (with the use of shades). Next, he looks behind a table and finds a mouse. It is only after he finds the trashcan behind the bar that he decides to sue the bar owner for infringment of his GUI patents.

Wow. real cool. I looked there. I think Tux was the third one on the left. He had his left flipper lifted, which might be a sign of a new distro coming soon.
From a June 2012 newspaper article in "Fox-Disney-USA-Today":
Dateline: Billmond, Washinggates.
"Microsoft revealed today that its Windows XH home security system, installed in many homes through 1997, has a security flaw in which doors open for anyone who walks up to the door backwards. Microsoft says that this OS is too old and it will refuse to fix this security flaw.
Microsoft is hoping that the old Windows XH home software users upgrade to the new version of the OS that has Digital Rights Management in which advanced accoustics remove from the air any sound which is produced from anything within the home that is not approved by copyright holders."
I'm not interested in this at this time, mainly due to the fact that it will be loaded with DRD (Digital Rights Denial).
It is probably not much to worry about in any case. Looking at Gates' book called "The Road Ahead" that came out several years ago, it is clear to see that Bill Gates is no Alvin Toffler.
The "Microsoft Living Room" might end up being shelved with the other failed predictions like the "Personal Helicopter in Every Driveway" from Popular Mechanics, or Popular Science's "The New Age of the Airship is Upon Us".
Of course, this idea is fraught with humorous possibilities that I'm sure will be explored in this topic, from the "Blue Wall of Death" crash, to having the close all the windows in your house, leave the house, and come back in to recover from errors.
What is it with all the recent spate of legal troubles involve Linux, Unix, SCO, Red Hat, Linus, etc? There are a lot of Slashdot items about this in the past couple of weeks.
Was this going on all the time before, but I did not know about it?
Is Microsoft no longer the biggest threat to the Linux community, having been usurped by infighting with rabid attorneys?

Is it OK to stumble and fall face first, and say "I bent my Wookiee"!, or is this worn-out too?
"The RIAA is dying, just like Sonny Bono when he hit that tree, and BSD"
When Sonny hits a tree, and he dies like BSD, that's RIAA.
If you have Metallica in your path, and you get Lars' wrath, that's RIAA
When you're kicked out of college, cuz of your drive Hillary gains knowledge, that's RIAA.

Mine has gone down to 0, and is now back at +3, where yours is also.
The intent was to make fun of how Jobs might think, rather than provide a valid observation about Microsoft or even a kneejerk "MS sucks".

A close friend of Jobs overheard him say:
"This is just like a Windows PC. It moves rather slowly, and at any moment you might get dumped off"
Convoy 2003 continued:
"So we shot the line, we went for broke, with a Beowulf cluster of trucks.
And eleven long-haired Friends of Stallman in a chartreuse iMac running Linux" Convoy....
Breaker Breaker Rubber Tux. Yeah? etc etc etc.
For the original, it is McCall. For this one, it is Mc Cray. I don't think Mr Fries would admit having anything to do with it.
"Cyber Duck" should have been "Rubber Tux". The singer is C.W. Mc Cray.

Isn't this the place for a lot of comments about the Linux community going around in circles?
With all the international intrigue, this sounds like a plot for a new film:
"James Bond: Imminent Domain"
which has a working title
"Live and Let Domain-Sqaut"
(The title "The Spy who SEX.COM'ed me" has been rejected")

However, how much has Microsoft been suing Linux or UNIX outfits?
We know that they perceive them to be a threat.
What is it with all the recent spate of legal troubles involve Linux, Unix, SCO, Red Hat, Linus, etc? There are a lot of Slashdot items about this in the past couple of weeks.

The satellite is crashed because it ran Windows ME, not *BSD.
Look for the dreaded Blue Sky of Death any time now.
Better make that 6 holes after ol' Poindexter decided to put it in the battle bots arena against Die Sector.
First, we sent mice to Mars. I have no idea why, maybe it was to eat the red cheese.
Next, we sent cats to take care of the mouse problem.
Now, we have to send dogs like Rover to take care of the cats?
What next? Will we have to send gorillas to eat the dogs, and hope that the Martian winter then kills the gorillas? Skinner: "When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death"
