Tut tut. Bad advise. We all know its smarter to start importing cigarettes and booze into many european countries where govt tax has seriously impacted consumer pricing, opening a huge profit potential. The main benefit is you just just get a smack on the wrist if you get caught as opposed to life for drug trafficing.
Exactly. I advocated Linux during the early years and my Karma soared. Now I am in a position to say that Vista is good with out caring what the mods think.
Ah another irritation, X11 crashes. Plugging my very expensive LCD with higher res capability into my very expensive laptop used to cause problems which was quite annoying. You spend all this money on hardware and then cant take advantage of it without pissing about. And of course we all like pissing about with sync settings after reading the helpful warning that doing so can irreperably damage your monitor.
I have used Ubuntu on a couple of machines, its the most polished distro I have seen but it has also been a fucking persecution, mostly with peripherals such as printers and wireless cards (gotta love ndiswrapper induced kernel panics). If you stick with it then its okish but its been annoying enough for me to uninstall on occasion. So if I adopt the attitude to windows common round here that 'it didnt so what i want so fuck it' what is the compelling argument to try it again.
Since I have been modded flamebait I will just say that next time I find some GPL code worth using I will take it and tell Mr Stallman I had the flu when I did it all everything will be cool.
We all know the ill and disable are pure of heart, love their moms and are made of kitten whiskers. Slashdot is getting seriously pathetic trotting out extremist nonsense like this.
Open Source like to bang the 'information wants to be free' drum when it suits them but the simple fact is that information has always been, and will always be valuable. With current search technology companies are building up vast data stores and anything that extracts meaningful data is therefore valuable.
If in this day and age you are asking slashdot nonsense like this then its pretty clear that 'management' should not be relying on you to provide them with any decision making information. There are a plethora of solutions out there. Its pretty clear you are unwilling or unable to do the grunt work to actually research this. There is no 'selling', commercial offerings rule because traditionally they have been better and more feature complete. Thats not to say the market will not or is not currently changing but the 'selling' points remain the same.
If you have to try that hard to 'explain' something then it's clearly not the population at large that dont get it, someone is just reading way too much into their play time.
In in the end Chrisma is what makes you predident or not.
No, in the US it seems whoever spends most money on the campaign usually wins. Why do you think GWB spent so much time on the fundraising circut rather than actually doing his job during his first term.
where MP2 was recording in studio, gets wasted and gets it on with Suzanne Vega across the mixing deck leading to a bouncing bundle of MP3. It's much more rock and roll.
Numenta wisely decided to build a community of developers rather than trying to make everything proprietary.
Its been my experience that the most brilliant people have a fiduciary target at some point, and its oft quoted here that the best are those whole love it and do it for the pleasure, rewards aside. Recent studies re funding of the kernel would bear out my point. Personally i feel a core of dedicated staff with external input will yield the best results (ala firefox) but this is not open per se.
I am becoming more convinced that people watch series like 24 or The Unit and are mistakenly under the impression that they are accurate representations of US capability. Vast computing power at everyones fingertips, satellites retasked at a moments notice for real time video, instant communication anywhere in the world, highly sophisticated gadgets that never fail in the field and of course clairvoyant and all knowing agents. No surprise the US has been so gung-ho lately.

Laugh while you can.
Thats easy, its cos I keep rail gunning them.

Yeah but to be fair when you are in Minas Tirith the Orc invasions can be a bit tiresome so the poster has a point.

I will bear this argument in mind next time I hear about how MS Office is evil and .doc/.xls file are the spawn of satan.

A mere technicality.
Someone must have missed all those Hubble missions.
before the lawsuits start..........

Seriouly there are far more important things to expend brain power on than dealing with moon dust.
Slashdot would implode with rage
