US national security, from the software point of view, was already compromised on all systems running WindowsOS and assosiated backoffice and client side products. The only thing required in this case is to install software and pray for timely releases of security patches, providing MS considers flaws moderate to critical.
However, this is pretty significant move and raises few questions:
Is US govt backing away from MS code and moving elsewhere entirely?
Is Microsoft becoming desperate for additional revenue?
Are they really THAT strong, so even China's resistance is futile?
Perhaps none of these but there must be a very good reason.
It was a pain in the ass. Since I eventually got good in playing BD, screen did have to keep catching up. When I finally got my C64 playing BD became real pleasure.
At the time, there was a radio show, once a week, where they used to play tapes on air (1 or 2 most popular games per show) so we used to record them of the air. The most kick I got from making money on BD, though. It wasn't much but it was cool. Guy I knew was good with the machine code. We made 2 new versions of BD for C64 and they were selling really well - I think we sold more than 200 copies of each one, which was awesome for then tiny market. He's done all coding and I was room designer and beta-tester. We missed 'few' days in school:o) but in the end made it to that Sunday morning radio show!
Oh yes, mods seem to be on crack again - why was my original comment moded funny? I was dead serious.
We have so much proprietary software that a switch to linux corporate wide would be far more costly than getting raped by M$.
Perhaps, but in the long run, your asses would eventually stop being sore from all that raping.
I wonder how many of those apps would be prohibitivelly expensive to port to Linux and for how many of them would be possible to find perfectly viable 'free' replacement in open source world.
not to mention the increased headache of pissed off users who can't use their downloaded programs any more.
Apart from these, which are not supposed to be there at all.
NASA had argued it was not time to go to the distant, tiny world, but members of the planet science community felt it is important to go soon, while Pluto is favorably positioned and before it enters an even deeper freeze in its long, elongated orbit.
That's from the article. No mentioning on NASA's web site yet.
In the light of recent Shuttle disaster, NASA is perhaps more keen on getting money to improve safety on Shuttle missions. Just guessing...
but the interesting part is the host of links to interesting new (free) software that lets you do it
The interesting part for me would be the host of links to interesting new (cheap) mobile services. Fuck free software if it'll cost a fortune to do it.
Perhaps the answer is in the article itself:
The latest trend is moblogging - updating your blog with a mobile phone.
Do you really have to advertize your feelings/intentions/afiliations of any kind? You have been very unfair to grandparent post. Nash did lot of work based on Game Theory and his Nobel Prize was the outcome of that work. You can learn plenty from your parent, don't you think?
Well, I suppose you've got a valid point here - it looks like a terrible waste of time. On the other hand, Microsoft seem to get away unhurt every time they do something wrong, so why not at least have a go and do a round of rant for every Microsoft mentioning? It doesn't really hurt anybody and I guess quite a few people use it as an additional stress relief method.
Plus, if ranting happens on/. you get to read quite a few funny comments every time:o)
I am very curious to hear your definition of 'stopped'. As for the article, it doesn't matter how old it is, as long as it is authentic. Explains a great deal of the way Microsoft used to work and I believe, still works.
I am not an expert in this area (NT) and you're probably right.
I would like to think that running Linux instead counts as even smarter. Luckily, I can make a difference by influencing 'decision makers'. They seem to be smart also, they listen.
Strangely enough, you may not be that far from the correct answer. What if you have 140 clients accessing these servers? Do you need CAL for each one for each server?
But I wonder who will choose what is worth saving?
Well, for start they may as well mirror Google cache and go from there. Panel of recognised authorities should not have too much trouble deciding the standards for the worthiness of existing material. They will need high level of independence, perhaps total autonomy, to be able to do fair job.
Those 750K were very bad flash that plays music, too. Yuckie...Other pages don't even load in Mozilla. You were too generous calling them fuckwits but I can't find better word. And they are allowed to call themselves University and own a domain on.edu?
Then advocate by making Linux better, not giving speeches.
That part's been completed, although I have no doubts Linux and OSS will improve more.
Now it's time to speak and to try to open lots of closed eyes, starting from governments everywhere. What Brasil, Germany, China... are doing is just the tip of the iceberg.
And I say - let them (MS) talk. They've got no argument to win this battle.

If you however, check his posting history, you'll find out that the problem must be of a psychological nature.
Or big liar.

...Boulder Dash and Manic Miner were amongst the first games that made me sit and play all night. There will be some downloading tonight, I tell ya.
That is not known yet, however the band is likely to originate from Jamaica. Where else would you find better authorities on 'root' stuff?

Back to run level 3 and lynx...
Looks OK to me in Lynx on RedHat. It's quite fast also.
This is not a dupe. Try reading the article before you post.

Unfortunately for you, both last options are just ??? - no profit here - that goes to your software vendor.
