Sure, why not. Kill it off completely. with all the garbage/spam/phishing/commercials the internet is barely worth the trouble as it is now. Convert it back to a pay as you go ( like the old days, when it was almost unheard of outside of the miltary and higher education ) and kill it.
Patriot act? Dont even get me started on that powergrab farce.
Unless a law is passed and its declared illegal, they have the right to do what they want with their products and their partners.
No law says you have to give non partners the same treatment that you give business partners ( unless you are declared a monopoly, then the rules change )
Amd should be counter sued for brining up a frivolous lawsuit like this because they are jealous.
I wonder if border patrol will start shooing people that are smuggling in 'pirate media'. you know, copying a cd is so much worse then selling drugs.. or at least thats what they seem to want us to believe.
Ive been trying to sell linux/bsd to non techies for a while and am about ready to give it up.
Telling them abstract things like ' its more efficent ', 'its cheaper', 'not feeding the beast' bla bla bla doesnt really matter to the average guy beyond a passing 'oh, thats cool.. where is the start menu.. oh, thats interesting.. now i want to play my xyz game, can you make it go back to windows, for me. '
sure, it makes more sence for most of us here, ( and in the datacenter ) but for the average joe, he would actually be worse off.
Reality is not what the media feeds people like you in order to push a slanted agenda. wake up and look around. you might actually trip over the truth.
1 - You have criminals in jail. if they are mostly black, then thats the way the card fall. You sound like a racist to me.
2 - Some of the facts may not have turned out to be as reliable as was first thought, but there was no where near 'insufficient' cause for any invasion in recent history. In this case you sound blind to reality to me.
Either way, take your garbage elsewhere, it doesnt hold water here.
What you propose is also illegal. And really doesnt prove it was 'just marketing'..
If you replace a bunch of libraries, you are in effect changing the structure of the OS.. i do agree they are rather similar, but they did come from the same source tree so its not suprising you can rip out worksation components and install server features at will....
In thoery, if you change enough libraries you can 'turn' NT4 into 2003.. but is it really NT4 when you are done? No, of course not its 2003..
Problem is ( and we all know it ) this stuff wont just be used properly, to comabat terrorism/threats to this country. It will be expanded to monitor 'dissidents' that actually love this country, but are upset how things are going.
Sell Pixar for extra cash and get control of the board. Then use Apple's power/money to take over Disney.
Afterwards, convert Apple completely into a 'content provider/distributor' and get out of the desktop comptuer market totally. ( that process has already started )
Since these cases are so large and complex, extra time is needed to make sure all sides get their fair day in court and the judgment is accurate afterwards.
Most laws can be broke rather easily. And when you get caught you goto prison forever.
A national database of MAC addresses that trace back to purcahsers would be put into place, with insane prison terms tied back to 'natiional security reasons'. That will stop most citizens from trying it. Hardcore criminals dont care either way, but laws were never written for them anyway.
Slashdot Mirror
Sony is much larger then personal music players.. They make TV, Stereos, media ... tons more stuff then apple can even dream of..
But, i agree the 'PM" market, apple has that pretty much sewn up for the next decade or so, until the next 'really cool thing' comes along.

Funny, thats how laws work too.

And i assume there is a 'blessed' model, so the school can get their kickbacks on each sale?
Hey, you posted.. you should have accepted the risk. Tough luck.
It would not have mattered who had control of the root, the chinese dont play well with ohers and still would have 'split off'
As far as im concerned, good riddens. Perhaps we will see less spam now.
Yet another piece of killer space junk to track.
Bet he would feel bad if it came back around and smacked the ISS, or a billion dollar sat..

yes, you are the only one..
They are only talking about using office as a front end to other more serverbased apps that microsoft has bought..
Sort of like using MSAccess to query data from a real SQL server.
It seems you can here in the USA these days...
Oh wait. that patents.. nevermind.. nothing to see here, move along.
Reality is not what the media feeds people like you in order to push a slanted agenda. wake up and look around. you might actually trip over the truth.
And the point? Criminals are in jail.

Nice culture.
Here in the US they would change that to 18. And that any legal guardian ( ask for proof, hopefully ) of anyone under 18 can demand access..

Remember, that windows comes with the overhead of a windowing system that you cant ditch. *nix doesnt.
While i agree a 'desktop' with out a GUI is pretty useless these days in a practical sence, a server with a GUI is a total waste of resources..

Way to go Jobs. ( that was sarcasm there )

Hey, thats a plus..
All traffic still goes thru the routers, so can be monitored with ease if need be.
