Considering that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern can almost be seen as one character in Hamlet, I'm curious as to why Rosencrantz is in the network, but Guildenstern is not.
SCO brought a $50 billion suit against International Business Machines Corp. last year and last week turned on Linux users DaimlerChrysler AG and AutoZone Inc., suing for an injunction and unspecified damages.
Have you ever tried uninstalling Media Player on Windows XP? For me, the far more serious matter is the inability to remove the player from a system (at least without doing some serious hacking), rather than the bundling of the player with the system. It's essentially the same thing that happened during the browser wars.
If a bunch of developers decide to stop using the standards, they're going to run into all sorts of issues with "their" X not running apps that the "official" X can run. Strictly from a user's point of view, I'm not going to use a version of X that can't run any of my applications, no matter how many bells and whistles the server itself has, when there's a perfectly good version of X that can run those apps.
I never learned what the subjunctive tense was until I took Spanish in high school. Considering how common substituting a past tense verb where a subjunctive should be used (was/were, for example) is, they should be teaching this as early as possible.
I think that what the grandparent is complaining about are people who think they know how a computer works and insist on giving "advice" or "check this" requests to the technician, but clearly do not. If I have a problem with my TV, I won't start spouting off about "how the cathode ray tubes are probably malfunctioning - check them" to a repairman. I'll let him do his job in peace and see what he thinks, as someone who is familiar with the insides of a television.
I think that any active matrix LCD updates individual pixels to refresh regardless of the type of signal it's receiving. Isn't that what makes it an active matrix in the first place?:)
What a digital signal will correct is that "jitter" effect you get sometimes on an analog LCD. Theoretically, the image quality is supposed to be better as well.
Theoretically, that's against the Wikipedia etiquette and isn't done too often. However, as I've just recently seen firsthand, most people avoid arguing with the majority view on Wikipedia in practice, even if the majority is wrong. Generally, when this happens, you end up with an edit war between those who are right and those who think they are right.
If someone found a way to abuse a search algorithm that you wrote to get better placement, wouldn't you change it too? Why do you think that this is all some scam to get advertising revenue? If you rely on search engine placement for traffic, you're accepting the risk that your placement might change.
Between these utilities you can do pretty much everything ghost can and much much more. A knoppix cd (generally I use a customized one to take out the gui fluff) gives FAR more flexibility than any other software tool.
I agree with you, but you can't fairly compare an entire Linux distro to Ghost.
But what about everyone else they're spamming? Hopefully most people are smart enough to ignore these messages, just like any other spam, but that won't stop at least a small percentage from taking them seriously.
Although DRM will stop pirates, it stops legit users too.
Who said DRM will stop pirates? It's just another slight inconvinience pirates have to get around. Normal users, on the other hand... well, it's illegal to circumvent copy protection thanks to our favorite 1998 law. Normal users may care about violating the DMCA, but chances are that pirates aren't going to lose any sleep over it.
Pirates... I feel so silly just using that word...
Seriously, who the hell wants to do that kind of shit for nearly a decade?
Someone that gets paid to, of course. You may not like VB, but if that's what your employer wants to use, the excuse "but VB is lame!" won't hold up very well. Jobs have been kind of difficult to find over the past few years, with the state of the economy and all the outsourcing going on - developers either have to use the tools their employers want them to, or find some other occupation.

It's probably been said already, but the best thing I ever did for my parents' computers was to install Firefox and hide the IE icon.

Hungarian notation is just a guideline for naming variables, functions, etc. It doesn't mean "program in Hungarian" :)
Not to mention that ATI still doesn't have drivers for their Radeon Mobility cards for Windows, let alone Linux.
According to NetCraft, it is.
Some people would still be out of range.
The CEO of RentACoder is Ian, not Dan, Ippolito. He's the same guy who brought us PlanetSourceCode.

Your edit lasted two minutes and now everyone knows your IP :)
No, but I'm sure Darl's already hard at work.

This brings back memories of Microsoft's attempt to "secure" Outlook back in Office XP...
We're talking about this probe. What did you expect?
What if you wanted to listen to the same song a year later, though?

Then don't boycott SCO. My sig is a suggestion, not a command :)
