each company they sue can countersue for defamation
And so? What exactly do they have to loose in the process?
Thier loose ass, you loser.
A better answer, I think, would have been "Their pants. So they can prepare to take it up the wazoo from all the pissed off companies they've needlessly sued. Loose does not mean lose."
" I hate to break it to you, but 'Comanche 4' will no longer be realistic anymore."
A single helicopter taking out hundreds of armed military personnel, dozens of tanks, handfulls of other helicopters, jets, submarines, battleships, chemical weapons plants, anti-aircraft vehicles and artillery, missile launchers, and terrorists on snowmobiles on a single tank of gas isn't realistic because some vaporware military project got scrapped?
It must be realistic. I notice that no where in the above list is there any mention of Weapons of Mass Destruction...
But he is dead-on correct here. You DO get what you pay for.
If you just download the latest distro, install it blindly on a bunch of machines and pray, you can expect problems.
If you have someone review the source, tweak it for your system and vet the code, you pay a bit more but you also get a bit more.
The difference is you're not paying for the software, but the customization and support. If you get that from a company you trust (IBM? Red Hat? Novell?), how is that any more a risk than buying Windows 2000 out of a box?
I believe that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator (whoever that may be) with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I have heard this so many times that I have to point out the error of it.
Even if you're not doing anything wrong, you have to worry about proving that if you are accused of wrongdoing. It will take your time and energy and considerable amounts of money to prove that.
Even if you are cleared of the charge, you may never recover your reputation. If you are lucky, you end up like Richard Jewell. If you're not lucky, you end up like Fatty Arbuckle.
But to tell you the truth, I've heard it. I've heard it a 1000 times on this fucking website, and It didnt make sense the first time I heard it, and it just keeps getting louder and whinier.
Then... go away.
Read a book... Get a life... Listen to music... make love... whatever.
Why in the hell would you voluntarily do shit you don't like?
Maybe because he's getting paid by Microsoft to patrol/.
And from the sound of things, he's tired that his BS doesn't work.
How is this informative? The legitimate link is to the parent site of the article and the second link is a goatse. Even the name of the telescope is wrong; the optical one is the Owl Project; the radio telescope is called Effelsberg, which also happens to be the name of the town it is near.
Moderators, make it a New Year's Resolution to RTFA BEFORE moderating.
While Spanish is always good to know, in college German or Russian was a requirement for an engineering degree.
Besides, my mom was from Germany, so I had someone to practice with built-in.
If I had a choice, though, and I had the options of your son, I would take German but keep up with my Spanish. Maybe watch Spanish language satellite television channels (aside from the practice, the chicas are hot!)

Actually, according to this Penatgon report we've already finished here...
The suit'll come out Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow
They will pay!
Just thinkin' about Tomorrow
Makes the Linux Zealots,
Fill with sorrow
'Casue they'll pay!
When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin, And Say,
Sue!
The law'll be changed Tomorrow
So SCOs gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
That's when they'll pay
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I'll sue ya Tomorrow!
You're always A day Away!
No, that would be theory...
Don't you mean "...FLAI HIM!!"?
They get our money in expensive, no-bid contracts to rebuild a country that they used our tax dollars to destroy in the first place...
My money's on "Idiot"
It must be realistic. I notice that no where in the above list is there any mention of Weapons of Mass Destruction...

Let's make a drunk driver install this on their car after their second offense. Why punish everyone for the actions of a few?
You, sir, have obvioulsy never been married. Honestly answer "Do I look fat in this dress?" and you'd better hope you have a comfortable couch.

You have obviously never been to Miami. They are all over here now.

In related news, night found to be dark and water is still wet...
"Bagdad Bob" does indeed remind me a lot of Darl, but Bagdad Bob had a better grasp on reality.
If we expexted SCO to do that, there should be a wad of cash sticking out of Darl's butt. That seems to be what they're taliking out of these days...
One of these actually made it to Real Life? And Doom3 is in pre-order? My God, can DukeNuk'm Forever be far behind?

I'm married... you can't tell me that those with wives shag every other night. Maybe every second or third year...

Yeah, I could really use one of these when I go from Fort Lauderdale to Miami...
