Come on, the fine print should be big. Are they that desperate? Stick to beverage making guys.
We have enough with Lance Bass going into space already;)
People, people, file send/receive please, how does gaim expect to compete in the real world if it can't stand out with the big guys? I love gaim on linux, but file send/receive is too important for me, and since i use msn most of the time, i have switched for alvaro's msn, while lacking every cool feature that gaim has, you get file send/receive.
After doing so, no OS could boot after doing a reboot. I had to turn off the pc in order to choose another OS.
Weird huh? I had to reset the bios in order to fix it.
Also, winxp install would BSOD'd out on my new gf4, so i had to pop in the older gf1. Problem is, after first reboot i had to continue the install with the gf4 to avoid another set of hangups.
To keep on topic, my asus a7v333 increased from 9800 to 10800 on 3dmark by just choosing turbo in the ddr settings in the bios.
Being in venezuela, i can say we have about 3 million computers. Brand name machines are mostly popular on servers, a normal guy goes to the local store and asks for a machine, and it gets built. They put windows on it, mostly for "free". The price of the machine goes up 200$ if it has a legit windows on it.
I would say 97% of the country uses windows. So you still think ms wont be hurt? Actually, little if you count all the ms software used ilegally
You know how much office costs here in venezuela? 700.000 bolivares (500$)
You know how much does it cost on the street? 5000 bolivares (3$)
The main reason we dont use free software, is because most of the country sell pirate copies of software. But perhaps MS is checking now goverment computers, and so a need of use of free software is born
Piracy on our country is big. You can get winxp cd's on the local newspaper for 3 dollars
People sell music cd's on the middle of the street. Heck, they are even selling a porno video they took of a local actress which has been selling like hot cake
We don't know what DMCA is, but we sure know what kazaa is.
I am venezuelan, and i can tell you, we are practical. We are broke, period. We will cut off expenses anyway we can. If MS throws some cash at our goverment, they may take it. It's not a secret that our goverment is anti-u.s but at least the minister is trying to move away from that
Dont worry. The goverment has only heard of GPL, and our organization (VELUG, venezuelan linux user group) will take care of that.
Basically the article should have said "to use free software" rather than GPLed software
WHY do people use hotmail? Are they stupid? It's not like you need to have a hotmail address to use msn messenger. 2 megs of space and a limit of 1 meg of upload, it's not enough.
To people that have a connection at home, use your isp email!
To people that want an email to subscribe to stuff and keep your main address with less spam, then you may use a hotmail or similar address. I prefer http://www.inbox.lv , they have a great antivirus working
Why they didn't wait until they could release an 3000+ processor. They could have beat intel on the release, since people are dumb and when they see a 3000 they will want it. With the intel 2.8 already in the market, this processor seems to be just made to test the 333 fsb
They utterly failed to realize that e-mail costs the recipient of the e-mail message time and money. Be it the 3 seconds wasted downloading the message from their mail server, or the cost of the phone call for the internet access, or the usage of total monthly bandwidth that some ISP's allot to users, e-mail costs the receiving party money. This is the very heart of the problem with ANY unsolicited e-mail. Television, radio, and print ads all do not cost the recipient of the advertisement money.
You could not be more wrong. If you are going to count the cost of receiving the mail, you should also count the cost of your electric bill to turn on the tv, and also if it's a paid cable channel, the cost of the subscription.
Ads are free, period. Because they use your existing paid services to deliver them.
What happened with the true-x drives? I lost one to a power surge, but they are off the market now. They used 4 lasers instead of one, so they were quiet and the fastest of the market (72x, and not MAX, they were REALLY 72x ALL the time)

...with Deep Blue? I would like to see a match between 2 top-playing chess computers for a change

Can i have some money now?
You forgot...
3. Profit!!!!!!
I want to see their legitimate licenses of win2k and the pc emulation software :D
Perhaps you need to buy a desktop pc instead of playing high quality games on a laptop? Stick to solitaire
Fuck off. Ut2003 has just been fixed to work with voodoo3
You probably are using alsa. Can it. OSS has still better support from the big guys. Demo worked flawlessly for me...

Install Winxp SP1.
After doing so, no OS could boot after doing a reboot. I had to turn off the pc in order to choose another OS.

Was it the oil market? If so, you were correct.
It said "membership will become gratis" and it said you would require membership to get cvs (exactly like nytimes free reg)
Now I wonder if I could remotely flush my toliet?
Oh come on... I have heard of caretaking your grandma but that is just too much!
Dont worry, we will use other licenses, the article should have said "free software" We are advising the goverment, so we will iron those bugs out.
