God knows, my friend. Perhaps the answer is that whoever signs such a deal with MS gets a nice cut under the table. Even nicer if few Linux boxes get replaced along the way.
However, you may want to pay for this awesome new release:

Only in America could a bad singer become so popular that he gets a recording contract and a music video deal.
Independent music label Koch Records said this week that William Hung, who has become famous for his less-than-stellar performance of the song "She Bangs" in an audition for the Fox reality TV series American Idol, has agreed to a record deal. Hung was first offered the contract in February.
Koch said Hung's album, tentatively titled The True Idol, will be released in the U.S. April 6, and cable channel Fuse Music Network said it would air Hung's "She Bangs" music video.
The album, which will also include versions of Ricky Martin's "Shake Your Bon Bon" and Elton John's "Rocket Man," will initially ship with a 40-minute "making of" DVD.
With his bad singing and stiff dancing featured in commercials for Idol, Hung has become a pop culture icon in recent weeks. The University of California at Berkeley engineering student has been spoofed on Saturday Night Live and is set to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno next month. #############
Well said. I'd hate not being able to see some stuff just because of the format in which it's been provided. Added bonus being not having to run windows for this.
People who don't know how to repair cars, usualy don't. Computer users ditto. Problem here is that people are just too lazy to learn few simple instructions and they will ring as many times as they repeat same, stupid mistake. That's why they are treated badly in most cases.
The most impresive, hands down. As New Zealander I feel so proud today.
Another important thing happened today and I really hope that it won't be overlooked as was the case with some previous performances by brilliant actor Sean Penn. It will be hard to get through accolades that LOTR, quite deservedly, is going to win but Oscar for Sean Penn must go to all front pages as well. In bold.
Stephen Evans is a bastard. Journalist will NOT write such an unsubstantiated rant unless she/he is under someone's influence, be it money, politics, both of those or something else.
He must have been getting information from the same sources Tony B. got WMD info. Interesting detail is that he is BBC corespondent from North America. Is he, by any chance, stationed in Salt Lake City or perhaps Seatle?
Let me tell you - AMAZED AND BOUNDLESSLY EAGER are less than insignificant words to describe the feeling and energy that simply exploded throughout our 'Zone 3' (slightly enhanced security level and sterile environment - you guessed it, we use Kleenex as well) lab when we saw your post. To think that someone, somewhere draws an inspiration from similar sources and thinks on the same level as we do, sounded like utopia. Until now!
Your post prompted an immediate decission by our executives that we lift all wraps of the project and nullify all applicable disclosure agreements.
I see that you, guys, have pretty good idea as to where large performance gains can be achieved - most people do not understand the importance of digging deep into the machine's guts. My heart kept tearing appart for all the promissing young men and women who are now ultimatelly lost for science. Lost in the underground world of Perl and Larry Wall's cryptic labyrints. Too many times the only answers to their cries for knowledge in various forums were "Why don't you just write a Perl script?" and "RTFM!". They just HAD to learn it, while completely losing focus on more important issues. But... let's go back to what matters - direct access apt-get.
Since you've already covered pretty much every essential aspect, I would just like to offer few tips - tweaks that we have come up with. Tiny ones, true but unbelievable performance enhancers:
a] Carbon shafts worked great in most cases, however - Cheetah's spin rate drops to below 14200 rpms on NTFS writes (be careful, though, still experimental!). We've found a workaround - injecting 3.75% solution of Good Year re-threads into carbon shafts seems to reverse gyro-effect created by propellers, thus reducing centrifugal force to tolerant levels. There are still some rough edges on FAT32 installs but we're exprimenting with different tyre concentrations. Please, don't get me started with why on Earth are we doing this with proprietary file systems. I am still furious with them filing for an XML-->Word document patent and now we have to make sure that apt-get install VB.Net will work flawlessly. Why now when they've finally made such a great progress with Trustworthy Computing, bringig back confidence in their integrity and innovative spirit?
b] Platter lapping was obvious solution from the beginning - what real modder would miss that? But did you know that lapping them in reverse order makes working with.rpms much better, while not affecting.debs at all? Thanks for the dampness alteration tip - we still haven't managed to apt-get update KDE_3.2-nightly.build. I'm sure it'll work now.
And finally:
c] Shorting that resistor never came to mind as a solution. Therefore, we were not able to take advantage of speedy Python execution. Text mode access will immensly improve our turnaround times - serving assembly generated raw XHTML of the Adaptec chip was a real bitch!
It's such a pleasure exchanging cutting-edge knowledge with like-minded experts and colleagues. Keep up the good work and well done!
I was wondering about those same issues but my 8 CPU boxes are strained even more - due to a tail combining bug in a big_mem kernel, I had to load ReiserFS driver as a C# compiled module to try to up the apt-get installs to 130/sec, which is of essence for distributed transactions our MySQL driven portal is running. Below, you can see just a beginning of REAL_TIME dumps, unfortunatelly Synaptic crashed under heavy load and I couldn't post graphs:o(
Anyway, hope this helps in establishing what patches you need to apply. Let us know about your progress and please ask if you need any additional help.
You are obviously reading at 1. If you switch to -1 you will easily notice that this percentage is closer to 0.01 mark. Another 0.01% goes to insightful comments and the rest is trolls. Out of those 99.98%, actual trolls are very rare - most FPs are either wannabe trolls or dumbfucks.

better than Windows!

I'll take trained monkeys over people any time.
Also, don't forget to ask this guy how to utilise `apt-get sync domains` for easy distribution of Contacts and Calendars.
Heh, then S ==> $ and you get actual value of SCOX.
Right. SCO lawyers use this formula:
S=(1+X)i
where
S= number of Lawsuits they're going to file
X= number of days following the original announcement
i= no explanation needed
Thus, S is always going to be an imaginary number.
Another important thing happened today and I really hope that it won't be overlooked as was the case with some previous performances by brilliant actor Sean Penn. It will be hard to get through accolades that LOTR, quite deservedly, is going to win but Oscar for Sean Penn must go to all front pages as well. In bold.

I'm probably already redundant but mi2g is a con shop. How many facts in that story?
It's actually
#include "bloatedregistry.mdb"
Yeah, only I don't see anything in that notice that resembles 'Thanks'
I'd say dh003i either has no integrity or has been fortunate enough not to lose a job.
And why the fuck are (were) you on my 'foes' list?
God was unsuccessful although it was a good shot.
Care to explain this bit, please? I am not arguing the number since I don't know Solaris too well but 'thousands' makes me really curious.
I hope this was a display of rather large dose of sarcasm. If not and you really think what you said, you are a fool.

If /. didn't, there's no hope.
Why am I replying to almost all your posts?
BTW, a billion?!? I didn't know all Indians are hackers.
I'm sure she would have been more than happy if he installed FreeWilly.
