Maybe its a British thing, but over here people really don't take that much notice of commercials. And yes the IBM basketball adverts have been shown here.
What I'm saying is that the checkout girl is unlikely ot have remembered the name from the ad. Its more likely that this dirty GNU idiot made up a story about him talking to a girl to make his article look better.
This spring I was in the checkout line of my local grocery store, and I was wearing a Tux polo shirt. The cashier looked at Tux and said to me, "Do you like penguins?" I took the opportunity to explain that this penguin was Tux, the mascot of the Linux computer operating system. She seemed puzzled. "Linux? Isn't he a basketball player?"
The author clearly made up that story. Nobody thinks that Linux is a basketball player. What an idiot.
Add a function to the file sharing protocols that allows a user to request the md5 of a file before downloading it. Distribute a md5 blacklist that contains the md5 strings of the bogus mp3s. The blacklist can be read by the client and the user is responsible for installing the blacklist.
The blacklist can be distributed on the p2p networks or on www pages.
Ransom Love (chairman of Caledra) made the original statement about per seat licencing. Its clear from his previous activities that this man is a moron and doesn't seem to understand how GPL works.
Maybe you would prefer a job where you write software that no-one else wants.
The whole idea of a job is that you spend some of your time and someone else pays you for that time. Even if you have your own business then you will still have clients that you have to work for.
Companies who write shrinkwrapped software without having any clients to sell it to will in most cases fail.
I'm guessing that you haven't left high school yet and you don't yet understand how the real world works.
The per seat licence and the refusal to release binaries for free download will mean that United Linux will not be in a position to compete with RedHat. They might as well curl up and die now, although it would be a shame to see SuSE go down, the other Linux distros involved (Caledra, Turbo Linux and Conectiva) can die already.
SuSe is a huge player in the European Linux market. For those of you who live in the USA, and are therefore geographically retarded, Europe is a very very big place across the pond from US.
SuSe is an excellent Linux distro for all areas of use, but the one thing that lets it down is that a lot of the files (particularly config files) are in a different place to where you would expect to find them on a redhat based system.
If SuSe get their disto synched with the LSB (a few changes in the locations of configuration files) then they will have the strongest distribution. The SuSe installer totally rocks.
Try plugging two mice into your computer (i.e 1 USB & 1 PS/2 - move either one of them and the cursor moves. Move both of them at once and the USB one wins 8 times out of ten.
Incidentally, I use a trackball that I hacked to have an external box with the mouse buttons so I can operate the trackball with my right foot and the buttons with my left (due to RSI).
That sounds neat - have you got any photos of it ?

If you don't like the way that paypal operates then don't use them. If you don't want to pay 200% interest on a loan then don't get the loan.

This is just SuSe putting right Love's blunder.

The man has proven time and again that he is a tit.
Now I need to compress thaat into a sig.

This deserves to be modded up but alas I have no modpoints because Slashcode SUCKS!
