Here in our Microsoft-ridden office, I use OpenOffice to recover corrupted Word documents for others. We all love it when Word creates files it can't read back in.
After accounting for those two things, the global economy must be a zero-sum game because money is a direct representation of human production. Were this not the case, you wouldn't get inflation (an overall increase in the prices of goods) as a direct result of printing more money.
Hahahaha! Wow, you're *so* wrong! I think you're probably confusing the laws of thermodynamics with economics.
Mmmm, yes. The Itaniums are cheaper, you say. Well, let's look at the price sheet. I can get a Dual 1GHz Itanium 2 starting at $4,896 (lowest available price), or a dual 2GHz PowerMac that actually runs software. So, the Itanium system costs $-1,897 less! Woohoo!
I've got conduit running from the second floor computer room in my house into both the attic and crawlspace. I'm thinking of doing something like this, and running the heat exchanger portion under the house, to take advantage of the cool climate under there, and provide and emergency outlet for leaks. I'm thinking of using copper tubing on the two heat-exchange ends, with polymer tubing in between (in the conduit). I'm wondering what the flow rate would need to be, and how big the tubing would need to be to support that flow rate. Not being a fluid-flow or heating/cooling engineer of any type, I'm posting this question.:) It would be convenient to be able to use ordinary fish-tank equipment. The height of the water loop will play into that -- it has to be pumped up and down about 20 feet.
I'm tired of people indiscriminately branding [communism] evil
Why? Point out an example of communism that wasn't or isn't evil.
In the United States a person will soon be defenseless against corporations. Is this a failure of capitalism or of the government?
The government. Sometimes I wonder if corporate power isn't a way around the constitution. Corporations should never have been declared to be "people."
I suppose your point is that, when the copyright on a version of Linux expires, it would be in the public domain. You know what I think about that? GREAT! It would be in the public domain, just like Mickey fucking Mouse and Windows 2.0.
Great, maybe the U.S. congress will pass a law requiring all E.U. businesses to collect sales tax for every U.S. state and territory. And maybe Canda will do the same. And Australia. And Japan.
The corruption isn't the tarriff -- it's the South Korean government's subsidy to Hynix. The U.S. and E.U. tarriffs simply counteract the subsidy to re-level the playing field and produce a more free market than what would exist without the tarriffs. The best solution is for the true source of the market distortion to be removed. The true source is the South Korean subsidy.
We should NOT be happy that the South Korean taxpayer is subsidizing the destruction of U.S. and E.U. industries that compete with South Korean industries.
"If only everyone could see..."
Yes, if only everyone could see that the real problem isn't U.S. and E.U. tarriffs on Hynix products, it's South Koreans subsidies of Hynix products.
I think they'll like it, as it counteracts an illegal subsidy given to a competitor. Why would they want to be made to compete in a non-free market? At least, a non-free one that doesn't favor them? The South Korean subsidy distorts the market and makes it non-free. The tarriff counteracts that.
The alternative is for the U.S. to allow companies like Micron to be destroyed at the expense of the South Korean taxpayer. The same goes for the E.U. -- and what do you know, the E.U. has also applied tarriffs to Hynix products.
The South Koreans will not win, because they are the ones giving the illegal subsidy to Hynix. Did you read the article? Or is it easier to jsut assume the U.S. is wrong? I admit, it is a time-saver.
Do you have any opinions on the tarriffs the E.U. applied to Hynix?
P.S. Perhaps you should also complain about the evil E.U. countries who are ALSO tarriffing Hynix. You know, to be consistent. If you care about that kind of thing.
On the other hand, why would you do that? The E.U. isn't the great satan, or whatever.
The U.S. subsidizes its industries less -- protects them less in general -- than pretty much every other country on the planet.
This tarriff offsets the true source of the market distortion -- the South Korean subsidy -- and actually makes the market MORe free, not less. EVERY country should impose tarriffs on the Hynix products, until the subsidies are removed by the South Korean government.
Thanks for your irrational hatred, though. It did really help.
You don't know what you're talking about. The South Korean government is subsidizing the cost of Hynix products, allowing then to be sold at those low- low prices that U.S. and European manufacturers cannot match. The U.S. government has applied a tarriff -- as the WTO allows any country to do -- to offset the effects of the subsidies and re-level the playing field, actually making the market more free that it was before. The true source of the market distortion is the South Korean subsidies, not the U.S. tarriffs -- or the tarriffs of the E.U., Japan, or any other nation that's tarriffed Hynix imports.
But hey! It's just easier to bash the U.S.! It's all the rage these days. And much easier than actually understanding anything.

I wish copyrights worked in a similar fashion.

So, pull the Caldera kernel-source.src.rpm fro mtheir distro, patch to make it the same as the kernel for $MYDISTRO, and there you go.
They finally release something with as much power as a PC
:)
Woohoo!
, and it's as ugly as a PC.
Woo... well, I'll take the speed.
Well, considering Apple is saying it's a 64-bit personal computer, I'd say "no."
Suns, DEC Alphas, SGIs, etc. may be "desktop computers" but they're at best "workstations" and not "personal computers."
Mmmm, yes. The Itaniums are cheaper, you say. Well, let's look at the price sheet. I can get a Dual 1GHz Itanium 2 starting at $4,896 (lowest available price), or a dual 2GHz PowerMac that actually runs software. So, the Itanium system costs $-1,897 less! Woohoo!
That would be the XBox, no?
The Communist Nazis, or Comminazis, are in league with the Feminazis. It's all part of the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy.

Either transparency or secrecy is acceptable -- as long as both the citizenry and the government have the same thing.

Of COURSE the RIAA will use this as evidence against P2P. Hatch wants to blow up your PC. Perhaps he should think about blowing up the RIAA instead.
The first candidate for House or Senate who proposes rolling back copyrights to 14 years has my vote, regardless of party.
Commercial software needs those things too. There's the security ratings for Word and Outlook? Where's the usability ratings for IE?
Etc.
Great, maybe the U.S. congress will pass a law requiring all E.U. businesses to collect sales tax for every U.S. state and territory. And maybe Canda will do the same. And Australia. And Japan.
Then your country should impose a tarriff on those goods and services!
Less whining, more action.

The size of your competitors' subsidies is not an accurate measure of "efficiency."
