The old houses used to have storm shutters. These were wooden panels that could be closed and locked in place over the glass windows. Unlike boarding up a house with plywood, a hammer and nails, the storm shutters could be deployed in minutes. You'd think they'd catch on again in hurricane zones. You do see some fake shutters from time to time, but these are useless decorations nailed fast to the side of the house.
Don't lie. The reason that browser had any market at all was that M$ had illegally abused its desktop monopoly to stifle competition in the browser market. Quite simply, every desktop computer sold came with a copy of Windows, and every copy of Windows came with a copy of MSIE. Netscape, the then superior browser, could not compete with pre-installed.
You may have missed it in the news, but Suse is no longer part of the good team. Suse is helping M$ tax Linux. So of the three in your list, Suse does not belong. Red Hat and Canonical might stand up against the UEFI power grab, but Suse is already in bed with M$.
Except that you haven't compared that output to the actual terrain. Someone tried to foist Bing maps off on someone I know. The guy is mister diplomacy, never a direct bad word about something,except for the Bing maps. Both the image quality and the accuracy were shit. Had he been shown a random area he was not familiar with, the scam might have worked but in his case it only showed off how buggy and inaccurate the maps were. Needless to say things were better on Google maps and he tried to enlighed the foister. However, Bing was probably chosen on ideology so I'm not sure his admonitions had any effect.
Although 'piracy' has been an integral part of Microsoft's marketing and dominance on the desktop, even to the point of actively encouraging it, it's not a fact they want getting a lot of attention. A pirate copy of Windows is M$ second favorite OS. It means, obviously, that competing software is not used. It also means that if they can get their marketing arm, the BSA, in the door, they can probably shake the company down for everything, including servers and thus gain entrance to the server room. M$ used shakedowns against Netware in the 1990's and seems to be using it against Linux now.
Recall instead that the software is not created just for sale to the general public. It is also there to be pirated, a pirate copy of Windows is M$ second favorite operating system.
It also makes sense from a marketshare perspective. When you have a monopoly, the most valuable thing you have is the monopoly itself. Preservation of the monopoly gives a better return on investment than anything else. Most of M$ revenues would dry up without the monopoly rents.
Of course not. The goal is less about taking down the sites and more about burning Google's resources through excessive takedown requests. Google ought to queue the requests in a FIFO pipe and process a small number per day. Maybe they could require payment for the processing, which does cost Google real money, to offset the time and resources wasted.
Or both. Either way the company probably can't recover at this stage. Interestingly, the Forbes article lays part of the blame for Nokia on Ballmer, but truthfully without a mole on the inside, M$ could never have gutted Nokia like it did.
A third reason is that he had a plane crash in 1981 which caused him to take a leave of absence. From what I read, it left some lasting, bad damage including memory loss. Between all that and being set for life, economically, he didn't have to go back.
I attribute that to sheer lack of technical skill. There's few if any left in the industry with the skill both on both sides of the lens to carry off the long scenes that the old movies had. Part of that was the difficulty in the old lenses and in manual editing. But today's actors, directors and camera men just can't pull off the basics any more.
I can follow the 2 second shots, but actively dislike it. It's too much like following a bunch of stills and makes me feel like I'm watching a story board roughly migrated to the big screen instead of an actual 'movie'.
Newer is not better, different is not better. Only better is better. In these cases it is just a fact that the old tool does the job well enough not to need replacing or even does the job better than the new tools.
If it's not some combination of faster, easier, and cheaper then there should be some doubt as to whether it should replace a working tool.
That's right. The goal is to make them look like pre-pubescent boys, which the gay fashion designers desire. Get the gays out of fashion and you'll start having models that look like women again.
There are some good points in the article, but the article from issue 154 is out of date. It refers to the proprietary tool, Nessus, which has been surpassed by OpenVAS. OpenVAS does not even get a mention, despite being useful, GPL software.
Yes, the phone is defective. On top of that, like the salesman said, it's crap. If he forces a sale of a crap phone, it's not going to help him. If you buy a crap phone at the urging of the salesman, you're unlikely to go back to the same store to try to buy a good phone, unless you're a fool. There are just too many competing mobile phone shops out there to warrant putting up with less than top service and that mean the salesman will be steering you away from bad models/brands towards the good ones.
Not too long ago we could download pre-programmed selections over the airwaves. It was called tv. I fail to see much difference between that and TPB, except that the latter is on-demand. Funny how the industry was able to survive on ad revenue from TV but never figured out how to make the transition to the Internet.
It's not just one day's work from a BSOD. If someone was incompetent or malicious enough to deploy Windows in a mission critical environment, it can make a mess that takes thousands (or more) man-hours to clean up. With multiple people depending on a system, one BSOD can take a bite out of many days.
It's not just a lowest bidder problem. The meters are designed to be tampered with. The designs were known to be defective before they were rolled out and they were deployed anyway. What is happening now is just an inevitable result of bad engineering. It's too bad that our experiences with M$ products have, for the general public, made bad engineering acceptable.
It's kind of pointless to try to do that with web forums. All you get is a static snapshot and no ability to interact. In the Old Days back when each student had a Usenet account, things were much different. Then it really was possible to smuggle in and out communication on removable media.

Here is another article on the topic: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57451057-83/phil-zimmermanns-post-pgp-project-privacy-for-a-price/ Is so little editorial work going on that posts can get through without even a single link to a story?
They're also getting rid of those popular low cost phones that have been selling in Africa and India. Elop is killing all possible ways to save Nokia and is actively ruining the company. Other analysts don't see Nokia returning to profitability devices in the foreseeable future either this year or next. There's nothing left to save. The pre-Microsoft Nokia is already dead and gone. There's nothing to rejoice about, it's just a fact.

It's probably because of the two quotes:

It's also not just desirable from M$ perspective to encourage piracy of their products but also part of their marketing. It's easier for M$ to compete with Linux where there is piracy than where there is not. Every Windows user, pirated or not, is not a Linux user. It keeps Linux out of the picture. we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.
It also makes sense from a marketshare perspective. When you have a monopoly, the most valuable thing you have is the monopoly itself. Preservation of the monopoly gives a better return on investment than anything else. Most of M$ revenues would dry up without the monopoly rents.

Also look at Kolab and Citadel. They do what you need.

Why on earth would you say incompetence? Elop did all of that on purpose.

How well does it run LTSP? If it does that well, then there are good markets for it in schools.

Part 1 seems readily available but how can we load parts 2, 3, and 4? The links seem to go only to part 1 again.

Lost it. It's not been a software company since the 1980's. It's a nasty, evil political movement or cult now.
