The B&MG foundation is just something that screams out hypocrisy. All Gates' actions spell out mostly that he cannot live with the fact that it is possible to earn money with around free/shared/given away software, that reality defies his letter to the Homebrew Computer Club.
It wants its systolic systems, its thinking machines and other parallel architectures back.
I think that Intel is making a mistake here by calling upon programmers to solve the problem.
It is them who should be making their cores available in usable hardware architectures, but maybe they suffer from NIH, because all worthwile parallel architectures already exist.
A former boss of mine (which was responsible for implementing CMM at our place) used to say that Microsoft was the prime example of a CMM Level 1 organisation.
The biggest problem for the USA, it seems, is to change legislation so that it is possible for more political parties to gain influence.
If you have more political parties, it should be possible to elect people who are convinced that change is necessary and are able to pull it off.
Here in Belgium, after some high profile corruption cases involving political parties, laws where introduced which set caps on political contributions, and which alotted government money for campaigning to the several parties, based upon their election results.
I find it weird, with all the uptake of Linux in HPC, that the university of Antwerp (Belgium) some time ago bought a Sun based HPC cluster. Probably something to do with PHA (pointy-haired administrators).
Ha, here we are using Continuus. Untransparant, unable to scale, administrative nightmare, too costly (in terms of hardware and licenses) and too slow.
Has anybody here experience with svn/git/bzr/mercurial for about 50 developers and a source code tree of 6 Gb ?
That is something which is the fault of the media : they should not acknowledge terrorism by calling the perpetrators terrorists, but should call them criminals.
Hah, I just saw some unique pictures on television. In the vicinity of the last earthquakes, people lost their kids in school. A Belgian reporter was with some parents, and those people are mad at the Chinese government, and there are accusations of corruption. A local official and a policeman tried to remove those people from around the school, got scolded by their citizens and left with their tails between their legs.
They are certainly capable. I have here a stack of magazines, dating from 1978. One article shows a Chinese computer designed back then. If China is a developing nation, then so where the US and the USSR in the 1950's.
Yes, but they are also part of the army, which teaches army level discipline about the keeping and usage of weapons. And that is what I think that needs to be mandated to everyone who wants to own a gun : membership of a gun club, and training by professionals, be it from the police or the army.
I once saw a demonstration (mid 80's, I think), on an exhibition, of a water purifying system. The demo consisted of a tank of water with in it a playing television. The backside was removed to demonstrate that all the components where effectively submerged under water.
I know for a fact, from someone who was specialised in faxes and fax software (1997, Belgium) that a fax document with a signature is not a lawful proof of anything. The only lawful document would have been a telex, because the time stamp from the post office was an official proof.
My current combination : evilwm + emacs + org-mode + mit/gnu scheme + clisp + LaTeX + bazaar.
I would really like to have such a small, flat portable. The previous combination now runs fine on a 10 year old 233 PII system with 96 Mb RAM and a 2,5 Gb HDD (software footprint : about 700 Mb).
as always : out-sourcing or off-shoring ? Our IT department consists of only a couple of in-house people, the rest is out-sourced. However, these out-sourced people are always on-site, so this does nor make a difference in head count, only in bookkeeping strategy.

But that is just Microsoft's goal : to deny you the freedom to make a choice different from theirs!

DosBox works just fine with old DOS games on Linux.

In Debian this is a package that is managed by apt.
ODF documents should be checkable, and compliant applications should have the opportunity to flag errors on the format.
A sumo wrestler probably holds a license.

Yes, how long until the "there is no bread, let them eat cake" ?

I always wonder, do these people have no grandchildren who like to play with computers and do neat things with them ?
Yes, but it is mostly against misuse and abuse of domestic animals.
Yes, of course. I think that was the whole purpose of the demo.

I seem to remember that I read this quote in the beginning of the eighties, shortly after the IBM PC came out, in Elector.

Isn't paracetamol better in his case ? Doesn't ASA tend to induce internal bleedings when taken too long ?
