...something along these lines. I have seen more and more sites advocating FF over IE, some of them quite large.
I am on staff for http://www.Deviantart.com and they have over the past year been recommending users to switch (as well as having site developement geared for FF taking precedence)with a noticable number of them doing so (which on a site of its size is saying something).
The R Project I think has shown itself to be a great set of tools (and growing). It has a bit of a learning curve, but it's fairly robust (especially for social scientists)

Their only recourse (in their eyes) is to mitigate by a small vague 'mea cupla' directed at an unnamed low-level person rather than accpet that there is a slight possibility that their entire approach is reprenhensible (or at the very least counter-productive).
I didn't say they were *bright* and on the defensive. Hell, I didn't say they were bright when they were on the offensive, merely that their orientation has changed.
...this is certainly a positive development. If we are lucky, this will be an indicator of things to come, as maybe this will snowball into an avalanche of failure for $Stupid_Cretinous_Organization.
The best aspect of this that I can gather is that is puts SCO firmly on the defensive.
So I've been modded a troll? So be it. I still maintain that someone willing to dedicate this much burning of lean tissue above the neck to such a moronic effort, when he could have done any number of other measure to get attention reasonably...is the result of a complete imbecile.

...one of the better pieces of news in a while. I have generelly held the Beeb in high regard, not just for it's programming, but it's business practices. This seems to hold true.
...to beleive that this is 'put up or shut up' I have more of a feeling that this will be like Moammar Quadaffi in the mid 80s amking threats to the US:
"There is a line of death! You cross this line, you die!"
IBM crosses
"Ok, you cross this line you die!"
IBM crosses...
"Ok, you cross this line you die!"
repeat as necessary until someone in juducial authority slaps SCO upside their empyty head.
As much as I want it to be, I have a feeling this is far from over.
Not when you have an Attorney General and an FBI that is very beholden to the current POTUS, of which Diebold is a close entity as both campaign donor and influence-peddler.
...there isn't enough epithets I could hurl right now at the level of inanity at this. You have a case where the firms entrusted to provide equipment & services to THE most critical democratic process are in need of investigation more than anything else. The hubris and incompetance is fucking staggering.
This administration is easily outpacing the chicanery of Harding, Fillmore, and Tyler combined.
...at least they have let their motives and approach be known in a transparanet fashion. More power to them.
Certainly there are trade-offs in doing this, but depending on what you are seeking to achieve (read: a profit-motive, a vetting/review motive, an exposure motive related to vanity rather than review, etc) you could gain quite a bit from this.
Yes I read the fucking article, but I still say that it is fortune. There are plenty of talentedjournalists who still get stuck in the margins. Being at a job is not just skill at the task (if that was the case, management would not be the lost art that it seems to have become), but also a lot of intangibles...right place, right time, political office savvy, and whatever forms of chance and palm-greasing also may or may not apply.
I actually *like* reading Mossberg on occasion, but as I said, just because he is cheif muckity-muck, does not make all that he says inherently clueful.

...go to someplace like Deviantart.com and seek out artists often willing to do it for you, and in may cases for free?

California has for quite a while had a largely Dem legislature and an often enough GOP member for Governor (i.e. Reagan, Deukmajian and Wilson).
That being said, CA as a state in Federal elections leans quite heavily towards Democratic candidates.

...if the firm requires you to use t for work, they should be willing to cover it's initial cost(s).
And I take it you fall into the 'wingeing self-absorbed commonwealth git' category.
It still strikes me as unproductive and juvenile. I'm not defending the idiot $FIRM, just his reponse to it.

...that falls into the 'genetic-cul-de-sac' category of mental development. What an utterly insipid "protest".

I hope Satan uses the skulls of the entire Concast e-staff as commodes.
