No. IBM is supporting Notes on RHEL and SLED. Attempts to install on other distributions will result in silent failures of the installer, undocumented files all over the place, or if you are really lucky (as I was) it will install, but then inexplicably fail to launch after two weeks of very buggy use.
Because then the judge (who works for the government that would get the money) has incentive to rule in favor of the plaintiff; it is a conflict of interest.
What they should do is burn the money. The company loses the money, and it increases, ever so slightly, the value of the dollar. I suspect that there are probably laws prohibiting this though.
Isn't evolution just some theory? What makes it more than just some theory? It is a reasonably scientific theory given the evidence. It hasn't been proven. It hasn't been disproved. Sounds like every other theory they teach in school.
Really? There are no other houses within a reasonable distance from the things you need to get to that cost the same or less and don't have HOAs? Where do you live?
1) Software provider has an 'incentive' to ensure the product is bug free or that the bugs get fixed quickly. With shrink-wrap software, they have your money and are providing fixes for free.
You've got it backwards. When you sell shrink-wrapped software, you have incentive to get it right, because it is costly and complicated to fix it once it leaves your warehouse. This is why the quality of physical products is better - it is much cheaper to make sure things are working properly before you ship them out than it is to fix them after they are spread out, unpacked, and used. With software, it is cheaper to fix what is already out, so less money is spent up front. With software as a service, it is cheaper still - just upgrade your software on your own application servers that are all located in your datacenter and under your control.
If you subscribe to software as a service and the provider keeps introducing bugs and then fixing them, you'll stay. But if you buy boxed software and it sucks, and you keep having to apply patches to fix bugs a few at a time, you won't buy from that company again.*
"There is a known bug? Who cares, push it to production. We'll fix it tomorrow night."
* Unless they've locked you in with data formats. Completely different issue. Why people allow themselves to be locked in to data formats (including APIs) I'll never know.
This is America. They didn't publish it because they were afraid it would result in loss of revenue. If you thing a corporation's actions are based by anything other than money, you are wrong.
My Microsoft Natural keyboard has worked great for the past 8 years, and my Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical for the past 4. They are both well designed, easy to use, are reliable.
I do find it a little silly that they worry about "bad" words but sell alcohol, tobacco, and guns.
Beer is bad? Game hunting with guns is bad? I won't be shopping at your store.
Couldn't they start with a Linux kernel, write a couple of binary blob drivers, and do everything else in userland with their own binary to use instead of init?
Would it be based on Linux? Yes. Would it violate any copyright? Not if they offered the source to the kernel and the blob wrapper to those who bought the software.
Now that I think about it, this is probably an issue of geography and population density. When I think of an intersections that I stop at frequently, where people might come out, it is in a rural area with thick trees on both sides of the road, and no light other than from my own headlights and the stars. In that situation, I would never notice that they were cops, regardless of how reflective their clothes were. The ones on the sides would look black, and the ones in front would be all white. Were I in a large city with streetlights and the nighttime orange glow, it would be pretty obvious that they are cops.
In the US, there _have_ been cases of people dressing up as police that have used the sense of fear they inspire in people to take advantage of them.
If 5 guys came out of the dark and surrounded my car and shoved something in my face, you better believe I'd get the hell out of there without pausing to notice the insignias on their clothes.
Seriously? They come out of the dark and surround cars, and don't get run over on a regular basis? Do the Japanese calmly hang around to see how potentially dangerous situations play out?
I don't know about you, but if 5 guys surrounded my car and tried to stick some weird looking thing through my window, I'd be out of there very quickly without much concern for how many of them ended up run over.
No wireless? That is okay, it would go in my stereo cabinet, where it would plug directly into the wall and directly into my preamplifier.
More desk space than a Nomad? That is okay, it would go in my stereo cabinet, not on my desk.
Lame? Sounds like a great idea to me. I could put all of my CDs in there, and never have to worry about my children using them to teeth on.
Sounds to me like a good CD changer. Oh, but you are comparing it to a completely different product. Yeah, my extra large GE oven sucks too, because I can't carry it with me camping and hook it up to a propane tank. And what is the deal with those lame 64 processor servers? No wireless, no bluetooth, and they won't even get chicks to notice me.

The idea is that instead of buying a 15k Civic, you'll buy a 12k American Cobalt or Neon.

Great. But how often is that kind of work done in JavaScript? A better benchmark would be complex manipulations of the HTML DOM.
Steganography.
Make the post office responsible for mail fraud. If ISPs must inspect the contents of packets, the post office must inspect the content of mail.

Make sure your window manager isn't catching ctrl+alt+a. Mine was so it didn't work until I removed that binding.

So buy a house somewhere else so you don't have to join a stupid HOA.
"Wrong" has too many definitions. They need a "Factually Incorrect" moderation.
We'll see how it plays out. I think you have too much faith in the customers' demand for quality and willingness to take their money elsewhere.

There is another way to deal with terrible presidents. But Boothe didn't get any elementary schools named after him.

What is your solution to the problem?
To personally refuse to shop at Walmart, and hope enough other people do the same to force Walmart to change their stock? Good luck.
Somehow prohibit certain vendors from selling certain merchandise? What are your criteria for deciding who can and cannot sell guns?
I do find it a little silly that they worry about "bad" words but sell alcohol, tobacco, and guns. Beer is bad? Game hunting with guns is bad? I won't be shopping at your store.

But that _does_ make you CEO material.
