You Brits don't even use the Euro. Calling yourself a member of the EU is a bit of a stretch... "here join this... and use the common currency... us? no way man. GBP rule!"
Do you really think any music industry person, or MS person, really cares that 2% of the x86 crowd can't use their service? I highly doubt it.
If you want it so bad... head over to wine and help out.
It's a matter of how you spin the results. That one OS X crash for you was due to fink. That is 100% for you. Obviously such a small sample is meaningless when talking about 100's of thousands of OS installs.
OS X is very stable. When it does crap out on you, it is a OS X problem, almost all the time. I admit, the 80% number is pulled out of the sky. But it is probably valid to a certain degree.
You could argue, based on percentages (which I can see MS doing), that Windows XP is more stable because only 50% of system crashes are at fault of the OS, whereas 80% (or more...) of OS X crashes are due to faults with OS X. This obviously means little as OS X is much less likely to crash (see previous comment regarding test of numbers of crashes, uptime, etc.) for most instances, than Windows XP.
Or you could just build the roads like they did up north... Squaw Peak is nice and recessed, with the nifty looking patterned concrete walls that deaden sound. I know that when Tucson redid I-10 they tried to use the same technique wherever possible. Also helps to keep a nice seperation between "surface streets" and the freeway system.
1/2 of all crashes are directly attributed to Microsoft. That is not so bad, depending on how you look at it. Some would say that 50% is better than OS X where it is probably 80% or higher.
I wonder what it is for the other major OS' out there? I am thinking higher, as the OS is seperated from the app better, so _if_ it crashes, it is almost always the fault of the OS.
Then we have to considers hours of operation per crash, uptime, number or processes and/or services running, etc.
Sounds like the basis of a real test for someone to run...
And what, someone with more Windows knowledge couldn't have written the same thing for win2k? Whatever. It is possible to have OSS run on Windows. The method used was biased by the guy providing the solution. He knew Linux, not Windows. Also note the commments regarding hardware (specifically the Athlon XP).
This new SCO license is a binary, right to use SCO Intellectual Property in a distribution of Linux. It is applies to commercial uses of a Linux operating system that contains a 2.4 or later version of the kernel, and cures the IP infringement issue for binary use only. Customers who purchase this license are held harmless by SCO for past infringements, as well as the on-going use of the infringing code.
There are 3 types of licenses to correspond to different uses of Linux. ? Client license ? A license is required for each desktop system that is using SCO IP in a commercial distribution of Linux. The client license grant is for a single user desktop system, irrespective of the number of CPUs on the desktop. ? Server license ? A license is required for each server that is running SCO IP in a distribution of Linux that is deployed for commercial use. The server license grant is per server, is based on the number of physical CPUs and is available bundles with either one, two, four or eight CPUs Additional CPUs are available for any configuration. ? Embedded license ? A license is required for each embedded system that is using SCO IP in a commercial distribution of Linux. The embedded license grant is for a single CPU, irrespective of the number of users of the embedded device.
The license is a perpetual, right to use license applies to the system (client, server or embedded device) running Linux in binary form. No additional license is necessary to apply Linux patches and updates to an existing system.
The license does not grant any rights to use SCO IP in source format, nor does it grant any distribution rights. It is therefore inadequate to cure infringements for distributors, or any entity that uses, modifies or distributes Linux source code.
Since the license pertains to SCO IP that the end user already received in the unauthorized Linux distribution, the SCO license doesn?t include a media kit.
Licenses must be registered at www.sco.com/support/registration/ in order to be activated.
SCO is offering introductory, promotion pricing until October 15, 2003. Customers who are interested in purchasing the SCO IP license for Linux should contact their SCO sales representative or call SCO at 1-800 726-8649 for further information.
The introductory, promotional pricing available until October 15, 2003 is as follows:
A client license for a single user desktop system is $199. A single CPU, embedded device is $32.
Server Licenses RTU SCO IP in a Linux Distribution Promotional License Fee With 1 CPU $699 With 2 CPUs $1,149 With 4 CPUs $2,499 With 8 CPUs $4,999 Each Additional CPU $749

It is a bit surprising that they haven't switched to DVD or something similar yet. New media, new players, new sales. All in the name of "better technology."
In house development makes the company rely on the people that developed the custom solution. Problem with that is most IT people don't stay in the same job for more than 2 years or so (until reaching a certain status). With a outside purchased product, there is a safety blanket; someone to call.

Is it just me or is there still a country out there run by Communists that has a population of 1.4 billion people?
I guess Communism is dead in the same way *BSD is...
All that time to find out that I had been commanding a girl in a bikini... who then took off her space suit to show off that lovely piece of kit!

No, it is just a matter of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.

Yeah, that is what we do also.
