One of the things I love most about the Mac is its drag+drop installations. You won't have to worry about system dependancies (as much) if you just make the drag+drop installer include all the libraries that the application in question needs, in the application's folder. Mozilla can have its own private version of GTK. Rhythmbox can have its own version of gstreamer, etc.
Capitalists don't "harbour contempt for his neighbour as a potential threat or source of suspicion" -- capitalists cooperate. That's what a market is. Cooperation and free exchange among equals.
Those "social democracies" all have pretty high unemployment.
The Right of "keeping what is yours" is NOT a basis on which to found a Community.
Yes, it is. That is a right the Soviets and MAOists specifically tried to destroy -- and it didn't work out very well for them, or their nations' people.
"Intellectualy Property" isn't property. Ask the founding fathers! Patents and copyrights are there not to protect property, but to provide incentive and reward to creators. Period.
Not really. Those solaris versions are just the windows version, built with MainWin -- sort of the commercial version of Wine.
Saying that Solaris-IE is Solaris software is like saying that Half-life is Linux software, because I can run it under Wine. I can, and do, but it's Windows software.
Nah, the "gui-less" windows will just start up the GUI, and then plaster a full-screen console window over it. The GUI runs in the kernel, after all. Check off another item for marketing!
It's a good point, too. At a previous company, we were looking at using some Veritas storage products. We had to go around and around for about a month with testing, talking to various people at the company, reporting errors and things that contradicted the sales hype, etc. before someone at Veritas actually talked to the developers of the software, who said flatly, "it won't do that, it's not designed to do that, and it will probably never do that" -- "that" being the thing that the sales people told us it would do and the thing that made us want to buy the product. Contrast that with the various open-source produces we were also using, where the answer was usually discovered the same day, and our inquiries sometimes resulted in new features being added the the product in question. We also had the ability to test the software in our enviroment, in the way we chose, without getting any interference from the Vendor. This was invaluable for interoperability and other testing.
I.e., Microsoft's market. Microsoft on the high end? Please.
They're being squeezed from the top and bottom, and they'll soon resort to defending their market share in court. Microsoft's never been about better software -- just dominance.
Especially considering the 1.3 releases were development code not meant for use by non kernel developers. I'm sure Microsoft doesn't give patches to customers using early alpha/beta releases of their software...:P
Indeed. As far as I can tell, the XBox is the first deployment of a Palladium system. It's the mass-market trial. "Windows XB" is appropriate. One day, you'll be running "winword.xbe"
It's more like the Microsoft Metro -- you can go only to pre-determined, approved destinations, because the computer is running on rails through a tunnel. Only the elite can have cars, bicycles, or roller skates. Well, the elite, and terrorists such as Linus Torvalds.
Pshaw. You're talking to people who generally think "smaller increase" means "cut."
I for one am PROUD that essentially all of my personal income taxes go to pay the interest on the debt, and that today's FICA taxes will not provide anything for my own retirement.
I couldn't find an "A" day, but here's some other terms:
From http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/doddict/data/t/05 401.html
(DOD) (C-, D-, M-days end at 2400 hours Universal Time (Zulu time) and are assumed to be 24 hours long for planning.) The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff normally coordinates the proposed date with the commanders of the appropriate unified and specified commands, as well as any recommended changes to C-day.
L-hour will be established per plan, crisis, or theater of operations and will apply to both air and surface movements. Normally, L-hour will be established to allow C-day to be a 24-hour day.
C-day. The unnamed day on which a deployment operation commences or is to commence. The deployment may be movement of troops, cargo, weapon systems, or a combination of these elements using any or all types of transport. The letter "C" will be the only one used to denote the above. The highest command or headquarters responsible for coordinating the planning will specify the exact meaning of C-day within the aforementioned definition. The command or headquarters directly responsible for the execution of the operation, if other than the one coordinating the planning, will do so in light of the meaning specified by the highest command or headquarters coordinating the planning.
D-day. The unnamed day on which a particular operation commences or is to commence.
F-hour. The effective time of announcement by the Secretary of Defense to the Military Departments of a decision to mobilize Reserve units.
H-hour. The specific hour on D-day at which a particular operation commences.
H-hour (amphibious operations). For amphibious operations, the time the first assault elements are scheduled to touch down on the beach, or a landing zone, and in some cases the commencement of countermine breaching operations.
L-hour. The specific hour on C-day at which a deployment operation commences or is to commence.
L-hour (amphibious operations). In amphibious operations, the time at which the first helicopter of the helicopter-borne assault wave touches down in the landing zone.
M-day. The term used to designate the unnamed day on which full mobilization commences or is due to commence.
N-day. The unnamed day an active duty unit is notified for deployment or redeployment.
R-day. Redeployment day. The day on which redeployment of major combat, combat support, and combat service support forces begins in an operation.
S-day. The day the President authorizes Selective Reserve callup (not more than 200,000).
T-day. The effective day coincident with Presidential declaration of national emergency and authorization of partial mobilization (not more than 1,000,000 personnel exclusive of the 200,000 callup).
W-day. Declared by the National Command Authorities, W-day is associated with an adversary decision to prepare for war (unambiguous strategic warning).
Let it piss you off. There's a difference, though -- MSFT software is usually broken by design, problems are common, and they don't fix it or even admit to it until forced to; whereas Linux problems are bugs, more rare, fixed more quickly, and admitted up front.

Skinux makes use of Win2k's alpha blending in its user interface toolkit.
MPlayer supports RealAudio. GStreamer does too, I think. Use one of those...
You can also use the official RealPlayer with ESD, and tee the audio output to an MP3 re-encoder, and send that to Icecast.
How did you get it down to 12MB? Version 0.5 is 28MB or so, unpacked.
Especially considering the 1.3 releases were development code not meant for use by non kernel developers. I'm sure Microsoft doesn't give patches to customers using early alpha/beta releases of their software... :P
The "upgrade path" of GSM is... CDMA. Specifically, TD-CDMA and W-CDMA.

Hear hear! Get out of federal territory and become a citizen of one of the states.
X needs a disconnect/reconnect feature.
Two. The Unix version is the windows version, plus MainWin emulation.
Mmm. "Workers' World." Highly objective. No agenda there.

It's no less secure than Apache.
