Now that companies like SAP have started putting out support notes advicing their customers to use Firefox instead of IE, Microsoft may start to take things seriously. For example take a look at the following support not from SAP (note 828595 for those with access to OSS):
Symptom
When you are using the SAP GUI for HTML in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, the "progress bar", which describes the load progress for the page, may in some cases continue to display activities although the page is fully loaded, and it never confirms that a page has been completely loaded.
Other terms
Microsoft Internet Explorer; IE; HTMLGUI; load; webgui; login page; status bar; status bar; loading progress; blue horizontal bar;
Reason and Prerequisites
This is caused by a visual error in the Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Solution
SAP has consulted closely with Microsoft, to eliminate this error. Unfortunately, Microsoft is not prepared to implement a correction and suggests workarounds that can be implemented in SAP software (SAP ITS). All workarounds proposed by Microsoft are not acceptable due to the considerable quality-related risks posed for all SAP customers using the ITS. There is therefore no solution for this error, other than changing Browsers (the problem described above does not occur with Mozilla / Firefox).
Have the patent problems with Mono been solved? Last thing I heard there is only a post to some newsgroup by a Microsoft employee, but no legal release by Microsoft.
Thats true, but there is still a lot of money to be made from consultancy - look at the revenues of IBM's consultancy business or Cap Gemini.
I've worked for both of those. Bonuses (if at all) were always crap, if one unit made a profit another burned it up. Revenue is nice, but steady revenue does not increase stock value. To do that they have to grow and that is pretty difficult in such a mature market as IT consultancy.
Indeed you are not going to make money on selling the program or license costs. However, there is good money to be made in consultancy.
Consider all these big firms like SAP, when their market matures and most of their money starts to come from existing licenses instead of new sales, they invariably try to expand/develop their consultancy side (anoying their former consultancy partners).
So basically an OSS firm skips the initial phase where they get their income from product sales, but they may still be a viable consultancy company, especially if they can capture a large part of the market.
Personally I don't value consultancy firms all that high. Basically they sell hours, and you can sell an hour only once, so your income is limited by the numer of consultants you have (if you have a consultant that is very popular you can't burn other copies of him/her and sell those too). So in that sense I think these OSS firms are probably less desirable to investors.
Did you bother to click the "130 protocols" link? If not, please check it out. It will take you to the actual license agreement on Microsofts own site. Check out the pdf version where in exhibit A you can tick the protocols that you want to license.
This way people will not even know there are sites that their government sensors. Google is only afraid that they themselves will be sensored away and they'll loose the huge Chinese market. I am very disappointed in Google as this shows that their "Be not evil" only is a silly marketing line and will be cast aside if there is money to be made.
So many things are different: a student took a swing once in the cafeteria at our litterally ~75 year old WWII-era Marine vice-principal. After avoiding the attack with cat-like grace and precision, he grabbed the kid by the hair and physically expelled him from campus.
Reminds me of my uncle, who once kicked his Jesuit teacher out of the classroom into the corridor... without opening the door.
Thanks for that. As of 2.6.9-rc1 MMC is in the kernel. Of course a lot of controller chips are not yet supported, nor does it support SD-cards. Regarding the modem, you could give slmodem in alsa mode a try.
Too bad you got modded down for posting anonymously. Anyway, that sounds like a good solution. Another case where Swedes have placed safety first. Maybe after this negative publicity other firms will also implement this.
Great, someone who actually has used this machine. I'm very curious about the claim that all hardware works under Linux. Does this include the SD-card drive?
The beaking distance for bigger vehicels is longer then for smaller ones, so they will get into accidents that smaller vehicels never get into because they came to a standstill earlier.
Even if it comes to a collision the smaller vehicle has already braked to a lower speed, so the collision will be less forcefull.
Most SUVs have no crumple zones to absorb the impact.
Big vehicles have a higher point of gravity, so by definition they are more likely to roll. There is no magic suspension that keeps them more stable then smaller vehicles. If anything, smaller vehicles have better suspension.
It is not the army's task to straighten these boys out. You should not focus on the internet addiction part, that is only one symptom of many. I suppose you have never trained 18 year old recruits. I have. There is no time to teach someone how to lace their shoes because their mommy never did (these types really exist). Shouting at them does not work, throwing them in the brig does not work, physical violence against them is not allowed (and I don't think it would work). Strangely, a few more years as a civilian usualy works wonders, after which you have a recruit who is actualy of some use, instead of an annoyance.
Yep, this is standard practice in the Finnish army. If you break down and say you can't take it anymore, for whatever reason, you can get out. But you'll have to come back after a few years (the assumption being that you have grown up a bit).
The funny thing is that they are going to 'plant' the flag by crashing messenger into Mercury. And here I was thinking that flag-burning was a criminal offence in the USA.
... they might just as well also fix ACPI so suspend-to-RAM will work under Linux (on nx7010). And having the BIOS initialize the IR chip so it gets recognized without having to use smcinit can not be so difficult either. The same goes for the SD/MMC-card chip (I know there are no SD-card drivers, does anybody know about linux MMC card drivers?).
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe I could google for it.
Yes, just google for worst search engine.
Soon the dollar is going to be like the lire.
You mean the US will sign the Maastricht treaty and adopt the Euro?
Yes, here, but you'll need a password for the SAP Service Marketplace.

Right here. Works nicely on the SX1 stereo headset.

Two subs with a screwed crew.

A friend of mine used to have an experimental Saab that ran on vegetable oil. When you drove behind him, it smelled like a barbeque.
The maximum volume is quite high as it you can also use it as a speaker phone.

The purpose of the Finnish army is to defend Finland. It's purpose is not to psychologically damage its recruits.
Yep, this is standard practice in the Finnish army. If you break down and say you can't take it anymore, for whatever reason, you can get out. But you'll have to come back after a few years (the assumption being that you have grown up a bit).
Running FC3t1 on an nx7010. I'm fairly happy with it, except that suspend to RAM does not work. Does it work on the nw8000?
