If you are looking for climate change; you will find it. If you are looking for the contrary; you will find it.
Quote from the movie PI:
Hold on. You have to slow down. You're losing it. You have to take a breath. Listen to yourself. You're connecting a computer bug I had with a computer bug you might have had and some religious hogwash. You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.
Hilf said that the Linux phenomenon had nothing to do with Linux, but rather it had a lot to do with Apache, MySQL and PHP. It was those applications which pulled Linux up with it, the "Visual Basic of open source." Yeah, and Microsoft had it's breakthrough because they bought an IBM compatible OS, made the right deals and all games/apps were written for MS/DOS because of monopoly and trust in the already established Intel/IBM. It had nothing to do with MS/DOS per se. It was an arbitrary OS at the right place, at the right time.
So if free software voilates patents, Microsoft has to ask Windows users to pay for using free software on their OS too.
I'm happy to see people's favourite free messenger or browser becoming non-free. I mean; it will be easier for Microsoft to monitor software usage on Windows machines; they must be charged first.
If they succeed, people will become aware of the sickness that is Microsoft.
I haven't installed MS software on my computer for about seven years now. People ask me if I got MS Office working on it; it is the first thing they try when they install linux.
"I haven't tried it."
People find that awkward.
Also people often say that 'app X does not work the same as commercial product X'.
Sure, intercompatability is pushed from the open side because of demand. But...
LINUX IS NOT WINDOWS!
People find that hard to understand.
I think this step by DELL + Ubuntu is a step in the right direction of bringing that understanding.
There is only a minor group that sits behind their TV and watches these clips all day long.
It's a safe bet because if suddenly a channel desides to have 'only' 40% of the clips gangster/nude then they won't attract a new group but their current audience looks for a different channel which better matches their 'lifestyle' they want.

I don't think the medicine would have saved him. He would have died because of aging by now.
As a foreigner it is really hard to get the pronounciation right enough.
Also command execution by others in the room is a problem.
How about listening to music, or TV, and having the computer interpreting it.

If firefox becomes bloated I will eat the internet with a fork.
Get it? 'Fork'? *wink*
I wouldn't worry to much.
Oh and give epiphany a try.

Gives me a new perception of 'Hell is frozen over!'.
You are right!
I clicked on the link and it redirected me to http://127.0.0.1/apache2-default/ and the page confirms that it works!
... and tell the world what minor, obvious and insignificant doodles they have patented.
Didn't they patent things like combo-boxes and stuff that had prior-art by others?
The current title is perfectly misleading and believable. Don't touch it.

But I think the gain of Linux has more to do with quality in comparison to MS/DOS and Windows.

Yes, and case-insensitivity is where the stupid CowOrker misunderstanding came from, back then.

Funny; I completely forgot about ICQ. But when I saw this article, I recalled my ICQ# instantaneously.

Hope this will for me block the overkill of gangsters/pimps with half-naked ladies that 80% of the MTV/TMF clips show the last couple of years.
Maybe the music channels on TV will discover that this is NOT what most people like too see.
So the best thing for future history is;
Tell people that computers forget and then just store everything anyway.
This way people will speak freely and there will be more information stored that otherwise would not have been because of fear.
Now you don't have to wear the heavy helmet to aim and shoot in an apache.
... cross your eyes.
Wrong place buddy, no-one will hear you; go cry somewhere else.
It's like going to the Catholic church saying: Why don't you tell me everytime anybody is proven the absence of God?!
Stand up against Nuclear warfare, for it will *boom* the creation of new mutations.
Piss off, I just copy what high-rated posts say.
You've been at Microsoft?
That's the dumbest fucking idea I've hear since... uhm.
