If you're that interested, I would forward anything that apparently originated from the US, or is promoting US company interest. And lobby your government to do something about spam coming to your accounts. Hopefully, an honest attempt will be made by the US authorities to combat spam, and it sets a precident in other countries.
Now if only Nigeria would set one up, I could do something about those damned 419 emails I keep getting!
From the website:
Blender is a cross plaform 3D creation suite, allowing fully integrated modeling, animation, rendering, post production and interactive 3D creation and playback.
We are in the process of bringing back the old Blender product website. For the time being check www.elysiun.com for more info.
Damn, why wasn't I let in on that suit? We bought half a dozen of them at our office when they first came out! We went through the pad thing, then replaced them with the 1200's when they were available. I still have 2 working 1100's here somewhere....
The HP family of printers are actually great printers. I am not farmiliar with the 5L, but the 6L and 1100 were gravity-fed styles. Avoid these like the plague. We use old 4L's (they're tanks) and 1200's (new, about $650 cdn) and they are great under Linux using 4L drivers. These also speak native postscript, pcl5, and pcl6 for the 1200. Very compatible with almost everything.
I have used cups, as well as various lp programs, and it always seems to be more of a "server" app rather than a client configuration. I understand that M$'s print spooler is technically a "server" app, but it really doesn't have that feel. You don't need to know anything to set up a winblows printer, and albeit windows printers are a bit more limited for cross-network printing (not much, but a little), they are easier to set up (mostly due to HW manufacturers actually supporting drivers for them).
And OpenOffice.org is almost there, but there is no Exchange client, and the imports are just a little bit off. No biggie on the imports, but I am a very big proponent of Exchange in the enterprise, and I am not alone (althouh for the internet, Exchange is a whore!).
My vision of Linux is a drop in replacement for many NT services, both server and desktop, as well as have the ability to interoperate with existing infrastructure. Microsoft is attempting to pull users to their servers with their Unix services for Windows package, Let's keep them here by giving administrators the flexibility that they need to provide a complete solution for business needs. This means opportunity to choose the OS that they feel is best for the job, without having to change over the whole camp!
What about using as a cheap desktop rollout for PXES or LTSP?
Keep making it smaller! When it gets down to a size and cost that I can buy three or more for the cost of one PC, I'll spend the extra money on servers and TFT's. That's where my end users will appreciate it!
These may be the key to roll out Linux in the Enterprise!
I'm not that old...
Seriously though, I would have to say that SCO has been a rock for our company, They went with it 15 years ago, well before 5.0.4 when I came on board.
If they wanted to save money, they could just send out a coupon to all the owners who filled out their little registration card. $50 off the latest and greatest Palm. Most people would already have a PDA and not want a new one, and the majority of the warranty cards would go unreturned anyways. The appearance of doing the right thing, they save some money, and maybe the coupons will get circulated to someone who doesn't have a PDA, thereby getting a potential customer away from Handspring or HP...
How many virus hoaxes do you get in your e-mail box?
Nothing suprises me anymore.
Face it, people are stupid, and the internet is the place where they all meet.
Naw, they're passing legislation removing fast-forward, rewind and skip buttons from all vcr and dvd players. And you're not allowed to cover your eyes at the scary bits either!
I agree with your statement, however I do not believe that the edited version is going to replace the official release, nor do I believe that the director is going to be held responsible for a discontinuous storyline. The edited version of the movie will be primarily targeted towards family viewing on rental. There are many great movies out there that children will be able to watch, but a couple of over-the-top words or graphic scenes would prevent parents from watching these movies with their children. We are not talking about a Disney release of Goodfellas here. We are talking about borderline movies which parents want to share with children, and not feel sick to their stomachs watching due to the sugar coated view of everything. There are very few movies that are intelligent enough to cater to adults and "clean" enough to allow children, at least my children, to watch. The director's artistic impression of the movie ends at the big screen. His point is made there. If he screws it up, the film won't make it to mainstream video and he has nothing to worry about.
The OEM market is where it will hit, if anywhere. Usually, gamers build PC's. They might not put the parts in themselves, but they spec it out (to some extent). OEM on the other hand, is a completely different animal. Most OEM builders want good parts, but not great parts. I could easily spend $4000 on a pc, but a $1200 pc sounds much nicer to the masses, as long as the processor has a high number, the graphics card has the going ram on it, and it's Internet Ready, guess which one you're going to sell. Take a look at any mass-marketed PC ad in the paper, and you'll see only 32 or 64 mb graphics card listed, and not the make and model. The last PC's I bought had Asus V7100 cards in them. In an office where most desktops sit at 8X6, it's overkill. But that was the bottom rung. If they had 4meg PCI's for sale, I would have bought those.
Yeah, I thought of that after I hit the submit button. Oh well. If he is not a spammer, I will personally call and apologize. But it would be hillarious to be a fly on the wall at his house, spammer or not.
A warranty is easy to give, provided it's not a bumper-to-bumper warranty until the end of time. We warranty this product to be free from defects which result in six children from cambodia being dragged to their death by wild turkeys. Should this occur, we will, at our own expense, repair or replace said product, and at our discretion, shoot at least one turkey involved in said incident. Voila! the Marauding Turkey Warranty, or the MTW. Please append to all GPL's you have available
Do you know how business credit works? How business works in Canada? You owe lots of money, your credit goes down, you don't get loans. Sole proprietorship companies are on the hook for 100% of their debts, and personal property may be seized to repay these debts (depending on the company model), and unless the proper precautions are taken, one could very much destroy his personal credit rating via his business credit rating. If you had any clue what you were talking about, you would be more interesting.

Call me an idealist, but I see replacing closed source with closed source as robbing Peter to pay Paul
But in a pinch...

An easier way to configure printers, complete M$ Office interoperability, and a stronger add hardware system, and we're desktop ready!

Progress DB server, running strong since OpenServer 5.0.4
The last time I saw Bob, he was dead. he was just too drunk and stoned to realize it.
Oh yes, I forgot.

Maybe we can combine them both and have a simulation game where you can pay off strippers then go back and shoot them
Sim Trailer Park!

But was it an 80 oz. mouthfull?
BWA-HA-HA!
/. would you get a laugh out of that one.
Only on
Maybe at an engineering convention too...
I'll bite.
What is purple and commutes?

Retrofit boxes to turn the digital signal into an analog one. Pretty simple, really
